1. Tell me about a time when you suffered from an injury or were in pain.
There was a time when I sprain my hand at home. I remember I was five year old then, and was very playful. I sprain my hand when my sister and I were pulling each other hands. My mother brings me to see the Chinese physician after that.
· Describe the treatment you received.
The Chinese physician first helps me to apply some medical oil on my hand and massage it. Then he rotates my joint and straightened my hand. My hand was so pain and I scream, when he straightened my hand. My hand joined back, after the cracked sound, when he was straightened my hand. I was given some Chinese medicine, such as pill, to eat. Although, the treatment was expensive, but my hand was not as pain as before, and it recovered after several treatment.
· What might you do to relieve the pain or discomfort of an injury?
Firstly I will put some ice on my hand and try to massage it. If it doesn’t work, I will eat some pain-killer pill to relieve the pain.
2. The use of alternative medicine is becoming very widespread. Why might this be so?
This was because some people think that western medical were not as affective as the alternative medicine, and they think that the cost of western medical were very expensive. So they prefer alternative medicine to western medical.
· Can you think of some advantages of different approaches to treatment?
Example of alternative medicine are meditation, yoga, biofeedback, hypnosis, acupuncture, and diet-based therapies, in addition to a range of other practices.
The advantages of alternative medicine are that, it is much cheaper than most types of medical intervention.
· Why might alternative medicine cause concern for some people?
It was because the practices may incorporate or base themselves on traditional medicine, folk knowledge, spiritual beliefs, or newly conceived approaches to healing so they are not safe to use.
