Chinese medicine, as an important part of traditional Chinese medicine, has been developed and practiced for thousands of years, and has a rich theoretical system and unique treatment methods. Although TCM has achieved remarkable results in the treatment of many diseases, in the fast-paced life of modern society, the characteristics of TCM may not be suitable for such a fast-moving way as taking the high-speed train. This is because TCM attaches importance to comprehensive observation of the patient's physical condition, tongue diagnosis, pulse diagnosis and other meticulous examination methods, which need to be carried out over a long period of time, and it is difficult to carry out detailed examinations and treatments on a high-speed train with limited movement.
Medicine, as a science, focuses on systematic and standardized diagnosis and treatment methods. With the help of advanced technical equipment and instruments, such as CT, MRI, etc., modern medicine can more accurately determine the patient's condition and carry out corresponding treatment. In contrast, taking high-speed rail is more applicable to medicine than Chinese medicine. For example, if a patient suffers from a sudden illness or is unwell on the XRL, the doctor can quickly determine his/her condition and give him/her emergency treatment through simple observation and questioning. It is not difficult to perform basic first aid measures on the XRL, such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation and stopping bleeding.
Chinese medicine and medical science have different applicability in such a special environment as riding a high-speed train. Chinese medicine emphasizes individualized treatment and meticulous observation methods, which are difficult to implement on high-speed trains. Modern medicine, on the other hand, focuses on systematic and standardized treatment methods, which are more suitable for coping with sudden illnesses or physical discomfort. Therefore, medicine has more advantages over TCM on the high-speed train.
We should note that although TCM and medicine have their own different characteristics and advantages in practice, they are not completely opposite or mutually exclusive. In fact, many modern hospitals have set up Chinese medicine departments within their hospitals or have adopted a combination of Chinese and Western medicine to better serve their patients. Some TCM doctors also receive training in the knowledge and skills of modern medicine to enhance their overall medical standards.
Chinese medicine can travel on high-speed railways, but its treatments may be limited on them. Medicine, on the other hand, is more applicable on the high-speed train compared to TCM. We have to realize that both TCM and medicine are for the service of people's health, each has its own characteristics and advantages, not an antagonistic relationship. In practice, the two can learn from each other and cooperate to provide better medical services for patients.
