The young woman frowned, clearly not quite understanding what Lu Xuan meant.
Just as she was about to ask, Lu Xuan smiled and explained, "Why do we need patient cooperation?"
"Actually, it's quite simple. The prescribed medicine must be taken as directed; you can't skip doses or alter the dosage. Sure, some medicines may not reach their optimal effect due to various reasons, but patient cooperation is still crucial."
At this point, Lu Xuan paused for a moment and then continued, "Why is it that prescriptions from traditional Chinese medicine practitioners typically cover three or seven days, rarely extending to half a month or even a month's supply?
There's a reason behind this. Many believe that Chinese medicine is less effective than Western medicine, but that's not necessarily the case. As long as the diagnosis is accurate, the effectiveness of Chinese medicine can be comparable to or even exceed that of Western medicine.
