Advanced medical transport comes in various shapes and formats, but often involves online contact with medical specialists while patients are in transit, the ability to transmit medical readings such as EKGs via the Internet for instant evaluation, etc. The operative factors in advanced medical transport are specialized paramedical personnel and reduced response time.

The services offered by such a facility invariably include a full complement of critical medical procedures, including intravenous administration of life-saving drugs, artificial respiration, the ability to reverse diabetic reactions and drug overdoses, advanced pain control and management via specialized drugs, life support for prematurely delivered babies, etc.

Certain medical situations cannot be adequately met even by state-of-the-art medical transport facilities. Such situations can include multiple traumas (such as in serious multi-vehicular accidents) involving on-the-spot life or death matters. In such cases, the time involved in responding to a call and transporting patients to a medical facility is critical.

Advanced medical transport calls for extremely refined communications and computer-aided dispatch systems that respond to an emergency call within a matter of seconds. Vehicles used in such a service are generally state-of-the art and are kept on constant alert. Such services also operate on a constant rotating duty system of specialized staff, so that medical professionals are literally always on call.

Advanced medical transport facilities maintain a round-the-clock staffing of their rescue treatment units, be it by land, sea or air. The service may be a paid one, but most American states also feature the availability of advanced medical transport outfits that are not operating with a profit motive. These are entirely community-oriented services that are not subsidized by taxpayers contributions.

The next example I would like to bring into discussion is the inadequate areas of fertility methods of Western Medicine. One of the common problems plaguing infertile couples could be the low percentage of high quality, high motility sperm of the male couple. Gynaecologists and Urologists interviewed so far have indicated that there is no medicine nor surgical process that can treat this medical condition. In this aspect, TCM is streets ahead in that they are able to prescribe herbs that can increase the motility of the high quality sperms to the desired level.

The last case on to be discussed here is to illustrate that the appropriate use of Chinese Medicine and Fengshui can cure an illness that even Western doctors are initially not confident of doing so. We all know cancer is one illness that doctors are least confident in curing. Guy A was diagnosed with cancer and was given a pessimistic outlook by his doctor. He went to a Fengshui master and asked if the master knows what is wrong with him. This Fengshui master is able to deduce that he had nose cancer simply by reading his ZWDS chart. Truly impressed, Guy A adopted all the recommendations of this Fengshui Master. Today, Guy A is cured of cancer.

This example shows the usefulness of knowing Ba Zi (4 Pillars) or Zi Wei Dou Shu (ZWDS) in the process of diagnosis of a medical problem and prescription of the cure. The patient may, as a result of being in pain or anxiety, not being able to describe clearly their medical history. But if there were some way to tap on someone with Ba Zi or Zi Wei Dou Shu knowledge, such a cop out of prescribing medicine that triggers a chain of undesirable medical side effects, will not be that common.

Now, how does Zi Wei Dou Shu (ZWDS) come into the picture here? Of all the couples that had difficulty conceiving, it is always reflected in their ZWDS charts. It can help couples to identify they have such problems and seek help early and thus increase the probability of success. Even in certain cases whereby both IVF and TCM failed to bring babies to these couples, Fengshui done using ZWDS concepts, administered in conjunction with TCM treatments, finally see to the emergence of the proverbial stork with the baby.

Fengshui is a superstition and TCM is a poorer cousin to Western Medicine? We will only truly understand if we bothered to open up our limited mindset.

Western Medicine Vs Traditional Chinese Medicine - II

First case involves Lady T who had a severe shoulder strain and rushed to the hospital seeking treatment. For some reason, the doctor prescribed strong antibiotics for her condition and instructed her to finish the course of the antibiotics. The choice of antibiotics although seemed an incongruous prescription to me for a person suffering from shoulder strain but I will reserve my comments since it is not my field of expertise. However, the manner of which this prescription was made appeared cavalier in that there was no consideration that this strong dosage of antibiotics would have a side effect on Lady T. The fact is that Lady T has a history of gastrointestinal and depression problem. The strong antibiotics upset her gastrointestinal system severely and her health weakened considerably as a consequence. Worse to follow is the recurrence of depression, which came about as a consequence of her weakening health.

In my previous article touching on the effectiveness of Traditional Chinese Medicine ("TCM") vs Western Medicine, I mentioned that I will be touching on some examples I have come across whereby Western Medicine is lacking. In this article, I will share my experience of such cases.
