Chapter 222 Annalise Barton Is My Most Proud Disciple

• The difference was that modern medicine’s approach was followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy, while traditional medicine, by acupuncture and medication. On the traditional medicine side, the practitioners used home remedy-like, anti-cancer herbs as medicine. The practitioners also tried to evaluate the patient’s mental state and told the patients that the surgery was very successful and that the patients would recover after a few days of rest. This was to maintain the patient’s happy mood.After a week, radiotherapy and chemotherapy were more effective, but traditional medicine seemed to have more potential in the future, so modern medicine won by five points. In addition, the leukemia group and the rheumatism group both scored the same. The last group was those with cervical vertebrae problems.
• The two cervical vertebrae patients were in the same serious condition and had been paralyzed for many years. All kinds of bodily functions degenerated, and the cervical disc herniation pressed on the nerves, causing the patients to feel dizzy, narrow cerebrovascular vessels, thrombosis, and a series of other problems. Modern medicine’s approach was to treat the patient with a stent that opened up the blood vessels and they operated on the protruding part of the disks.
• After the surgeries, the patient could get out of bed and walk freely on the third day. At present, the patient could move like normal people. However, because the patient’s cervical vertebrae and lumbar vertebrae had undergone surgery, the patient could not do heavy work for the rest of their life and was at risk of being paralyzed again at any time. Moreover, there would be pain from time to time at the spots on the patient’s lower back and neck that had undergone surgery.
