For our last week in China, we went to the Traditional Chinese Medical School. This school was also a working hospital. Patients came from all over the world. I just loved learning all about this type of medicine. The first day we did rounds with the doctors. I was in heaven. We learned how to diagnose patients and decide on a treatment plan. The next day we went to the countryside to give medical care to people who could not afford medicine. It felt so great to help these people. When I become a doctor I would like to be able to offer my services to people like that. It is a feeling that is just so hard to describe, to help people that could not otherwise be seen. The head doctor of the hospital took us all to lunch for helping out. Every meal that we had was like having a thanksgiving dinner, it was huge. The next few days we learned other aspects of Chinese medicine. We learned about moxibustion, acupuncture, and cupping. We also learned about herbal medicines that are used. Unfortunately I did not take pictures this week, I was so focused on learning I forgot.
