That Traditional Chinese Medicine/Eastern Medicine and Western Medicine are complimentary to one another. What one cannot do, the other can. In most cases it is always as good idea to get a diagnosis from both, before making any decisions about your health.

One example:
Let's say, you have certain symptoms such as severe dizziness, nausea and disorientation and you go to a Western Practitioner, you may get a diagnosis such as Meniere's Syndrome or Aural Vertigo. Your treatment for this may not be as effective as you may anticipate and find that medication is not at all helping and has side effects. If you go get a diagnosis from Eastern Medicine - a Medical Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the diagnosis for this will be explained by determining accurate causative factors, thus treatable with the method of Acupuncture and without side effects.

However, if you get into an accident, and are bleeding or broken bones, do not mistake the correct place to go for this, go to Western Practitioner, or possibly to a hospital for immediate attention.
All chronic illness and long term symptoms should be diagnosed by both Western and Eastern Medicine. This will confirm any doubts or concerns about what is truly going on in your body. The choice is then up to you as to which method of treatment you choose . . . drugs versus treatment of Acupuncture.
