Talk:Medicine in China

North American perspective of Doctors Incomes
Noted a TV documentary on doctors compensation in China.

The insight was that 'these doctors' considered it a special calling to be a doctor much like a Priest...

They felt being paid was an insult.

So the material on the 'wages' of this article appears to be based on a North American values.

The above is part of the traditions of Chinese Medicine, not Western(Biomedicine) as practiced in China. Another similar aspect to the above tradition is that old-time (Chinese Medical) physicians were not paid so long as their patient was sick, and were paid only while they remained healthy.

The article needs to clearly identify whether it is TCM or Biomedicine which is being discussed, since China has a fairly "integrated" system of medicine, where both TCM and Biomedicine have hospitals which function according to each tradition's rules.

Practice Medicine in China
In this article there should be some points like the medical education system, registration process to practice medicine in china and laws and regulations of the people's republic of china to practice medicine in china. Please add those points.--Kaish (talk) 15:14, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Commentatory paragraph should be removed
The paragraph "Social Status" looks a commentatory paragraph.--Kaish (talk) 15:16, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Western medicine in China
The article needs to be improved regarding the history of western medicine. Mostly missionary operated hospitals. Although not to be used directly as sources, old primary documents can be put into a bibliography and used to find out names of doctors who resided in China.
