How can private acupuncture circumvent the illegal practice of medicine?

How can private acupuncture circumvent the illegal practice of medicine?

Acupuncture is a national treasure, through which the circulation of qi and blood is promoted for the purpose of health.

That's why there's the illegal practice of medicine, one is the law and the other is not.

First of all, the law, that is, the rules, the law is made by people, this person set the law is right or wrong, should be tested through practice, rather than some people, sitting in the office, patting their heads.

The method of practicing medicine, is only through a variety of tests, to obtain a medical license, as for this test, whether it is reasonable, the layman dare not evaluate, but because of this test, because of this medical license, many of the real level of folk medicine practitioners blocked out the door. And many of those who have a license are not useful. So much so that many people with a license lend it out to earn a license fee.

The ancients, Hua Tuo and Bian Magpie, with a handful of grass and a needle, traveled all over the world, spread the word and cured the sick and saved the people, so why did they need a medical practitioner's certificate, and did they say that they were practicing medicine illegally?

Secondly, it is right and wrong, and wrong is wrong. Although one has the ability to see a doctor, because one does not have a practising certificate, one is right and wrong, and in the event of a medical dispute or being reported, one will be penalized by law.

Thirdly, the same is the treatment of illnesses, those who have a practising certificate, there will also be medical disputes, even those of the tertiary hospitals, there are also many medical disputes. But the results are different, because there is a license, is not illegal, the physician at most subject to a disciplinary action. Without a license to practice medicine, a medical practitioner, an illegal practice of medicine, enough to send you to jail.

Fourth, the same is to see a doctor, individual acupuncturist, he used his own family life guarantee, because he knows the consequences are very serious, the lesser of which is to lose his family's money, the heaviest of which is to go to jail. On the contrary, those who are licensed, backed by the country's large hospitals, accepting bribes, careless about patients, and even because of the lack of responsibility, resulting in many medical disputes.

V. Should acupuncture be licensed? Is it necessary to have a physician's license for acupuncture? I feel that the access mechanism of acupuncture should be relaxed from the practical point of view, from the practice, so that those who have the ability to give full play to their specialties to serve the people.

Sixth, of course, everything is relative, there are good hospitals, there are even better doctors, there are also wild doctors, grass and human life, these can not be generalized.

The crime of practicing illegal medicine would be better explained this way. Ineffective treatment is illegal to practice medicine full refund for injuries caused by legal responsibility. The rules to avoid illegal recommendations for the treatment of the whole process of camera. There is evidence that the treatment effect is good and worth promoting. Requirements to amend the current illegal practice of medicine only seek certificates do not talk about the effectiveness of treatment irrational provisions!

I learned acupuncture, and from time to time for the family to solve the problem of physical discomfort, often to the disease, such as neck, waist, knee, ankle pain, and headaches, toothache, and children's acne, etc., really taste the sweetness, do not have to find a doctor, do not have to spend time, do not have to spend a lot of money. The key is also very safe, because the points I chose are in the limbs, if there are points in the chest, use moxibustion, avoid using needles. But once for a friend of the needle, because the other is a Western doctor, he cervical and lumbar pain, I asked him if he would like to tie a few needles, he said in order to solve the pain to do anything, as a result, I did for him about an hour of treatment, is obliged to oh, as a result, he did not have lumbar pain, cervical pain is also relieved a lot, but then he asked me about whether I have to practise medicine documents, I am a bit confused, I was told that he said it was his son who had to ask, and I I told him that I had a certificate of completion of my medical studies, but I did not have a license to practice medicine. It went away, and after a month or so, his cervical spine opened up with pain again, and he asked me to give him another needle, and this time I refused, emphasizing that I did not have a license to practice medicine. 🤔

What does it mean by practicing medicine illegally? My view may be quite individualized. Nowadays, most of the people with illnesses are willing to register with specialists when they go to hospitals, and they are picking their doctors.

I have analyzed the situation and have come to one conclusion.

The reason why many patients are picking hospitals and doctors, want to find a specialist to see their own, one of the main reasons, is that after a few hospitals or a few doctors to give him a look, they do not feel to see the understanding of the treatment is not ideal, so they always want to find a specialist to give themselves a look at the end of the disease, in the end, what should be the treatment.

In fact, most of the hospitals they go to should be regular hospitals, and the doctors who have seen them are all legitimate doctors with medical qualifications. However, why do they still want to pick a doctor and find a specialist to see them? The answer is very simple, that is, the previous hospitals those doctors did not give them a cure, no cure, but also want to cure, that is not to find a more senior doctor to treat it. In fact, the regular hospitals, licensed doctors did not give some of the patient's disease is also very normal, because not only the Chinese hospitals have a lot of bad diseases, the UK, Germany, France, Japan, the United States of those developed countries, hospitals and doctors, there are also a lot of bad diseases ah.

To treat patients is the work of hospitals and doctors, good or bad, is the level of hospitals and doctors, but also the problem of the existing level of medical care, cured, is that they do a good job, the cure is not, the work is not done well or the level is not enough, but does not violate the law.

The above said, it is a regular hospital and a medically qualified doctor.

The following is to say, there is no medical certificate, but really know Chinese medicine or really have a skill of folk "herbalist" (Note: nothing of the people often call themselves "grass people", so I have no certificate of folk Chinese medicine called "herbalist"). Therefore, I call folk Chinese medicine practitioners without any certificate "herbalists". This is just a term of endearment, and I hope that readers will not pick on this term.)

Folk Chinese medicine practitioners, who treat their patients, have only two purposes.

Either, support your family with your own unique expertise; or, provide relief to those suffering from the disease, or both.

I think, if really do not know the line without the ability of this person, is to want to cure the disease as a reason to coax other people, then, is not an easy thing, with the way to cure the patient is not a simple thing, one is not good to cheat, the second is the risk is too big. Although we can not rule out such a person will also have, but want to cheat in this aspect of the treatment of people, it should be few and far between, and, really do not understand medicine, really give people treatment will certainly be a problem, so that can not cheat a few times will be exposed, for this kind of person is not illegal to practise medicine first put and then do not say that, at least he is a scam, scam on the criminal law, who broke the criminal law, the law will be sanctioned by whom, this is indisputable. However, I believe that as long as there is a real skill of folk Chinese medicine, even for people to cure, will also be able to do within their means, as long as they can do within their means, to solve the problems for the patient in the first place, to earn medical expenses on the status of obedience, there should not be any big problem.

In my opinion, saving lives and treating illnesses and saving people is not simply the responsibility of the medical sector, but should be the common responsibility of everyone who knows medical theories and has a certain degree of skill in preventing and treating illnesses, including Chinese medicine practitioners, Western medicine practitioners and other medical practitioners, and people of all nationalities who have medical skills. If these people can take up their responsibilities seriously, it should be a common need of the country, society and the people.

In my opinion, if these folk with medical skills can seriously and responsibly for the people around the prevention and treatment of disease, not only does not violate anything, but also in line with the common interests of the state and society and the people, I think this should be exactly the party and the government and the people hope that the situation.

As for how to do legal how to do not legal, what is illegal to practice medicine, what is not illegal to practice medicine, should not be used only with or without medical qualification certificate which is a fixed, a little flexibility does not have the standard as the basis for judgment, the law, is to safeguard the country, safeguard society, safeguard the fundamental interests of people's service institutions, as long as the people can do things to the country, the community and the people of these three only beneficial to the people, there is no harm, it should have nothing to do with the sanctions of the law. As long as what one can do is only beneficial to the state, society and the people, it should have nothing to do with the sanctions of the law.

To illustrate what I mean, an example.

If a person who knows Chinese medicine but has no medical qualifications happens to meet a person who suddenly falls down and goes into shock one day, and if he is not treated in time, he may die, and if he is fully capable of treating this person with acupuncture, etc., then he may be able to save the person's life.

May I ask, (readers), should someone who knows Chinese medicine but does not have medical credentials save this person in this situation?

If he saves this person, he has to use medical treatment on this person. If he simply uses whether he has a medical qualification certificate to measure whether he has violated the law or not, then he is practicing medicine illegally, and he has violated the law. There are only two choices in front of him, either to see this person may die and do not care, or to use medical means to save this person, so in this case, what should he do?

If the person actually saves the person who fainted and went into shock , is it illegal to practice medicine? (If any of the readers are judges, consider this question as well).

A few more words about my views on the law.

The law is based on facts and governed by the law. In my opinion, facts based on facts means that there are facts that are detrimental to the interests of the national community and the public, and the facts that are detrimental to the interests of the national community and the public are of such an egregious degree that they have violated the law of the land.

That is to say, the national law enforcement procedures for any wrongdoer should be , first the fact of behavior that violates the law, and then according to the behavior of the wrongdoer, to impose legal sanctions. (This is only my personal view of the law, does not represent the correct, there are improper, I hope the reader to give criticism and correction.)

If, in the course of treating people's illnesses, a folk doctor only removes the pain of illnesses and saves people's lives, but does not jeopardize the interests of the national community and the people, then, as a matter of fact, his actions should not violate the law on the protection of the interests of the national community and the people.

Here's what I said about myself, in major hospitals, everywhere patients have to pick hospitals, doctors and specialists.

In my case, it's the other way around. In other places, the patient picks the doctor. In my case, I pick the patient.

I do not easily and not casually to others to see the disease treatment, if someone really want to find me to give him a look at the disease treatment treatment, I have to look at the situation and state of this person in my ability, even if it is within my ability, I have to take a look at whether he is able to cooperate with the treatment of his character and other aspects of the comprehensive consideration of whether to give him the treatment, originally Chinese medicine there are six do not cure, in my case is ten do not cure.

But in my case there is a must cure, I believe that people should do good, if I happen to meet a life-threatening people in urgent need of resuscitation, as long as it is within the scope of my ability, I will recognize the risk of illegal practice of medicine must also save this person.

The criterion for distinguishing between good and evil is, in my case, two words.

Everything is self-serving, and good is also evil;

Everything is human, and evil is good.

Everyone has parents and siblings, and some have wives and children, and I can't do anything to save them from death.

The above is just my opinion, does not represent the correct , there are improper, I hope readers to give criticism and correction.

1. Inherit the inheritance of the ancient method of acupuncture and moxibustion, safe selection of points, careful care, never an accident.

2, the efficacy of good word of mouth, there will be no need for advertising.

3. "Six No Cures".

4. Practice medicine with the attitude that the patient's health is above all else.

5、Continuously pursuing high quality sanitary environment, mood space.

6. Ultimately, if every patient becomes a trusted friend, there will never be a complaint of dissatisfaction.

7. Screening the sick, saving the salvageable, those who know how to be grateful, those who are sensible, and those who are kind.

8. The biggest risk is "saving the wrong person".

9. The greatest guarantee is "moral heart and benevolence, excellent diagnosis, exquisite medical skills, and immediate results".


If you have a medical license, you will not be practicing medicine illegally. The problem is that it is now very difficult to have a license, and the State is too strict in controlling the licensing of Chinese medicine practitioners. I hope that the policy on licensing will not be too harsh.

Reason 1: no qualification can not, outside do not know the basics of Chinese medicine, a party to cure all diseases, in the name of Chinese medicine practitioners to give people a lot of Chinese medicine cheats. I have seen some beauty salons, those in the beauty salon to give people acupuncture girls, they do not know anything about acupuncture, but in the beauty salon to give people acupuncture, in the name of moxibustion to promote what "moxibustion instrument", almost I also want to buy a convenient own moxibustion. Later carefully asked how to on the moxa material, only to learn that they marketed the moxibustion instrument is a small electrical appliances, no need to add moxa, this is simply a joke of moxibustion! Which book about acupuncture says moxibustion without moxa? And that thing charges too much, this is really a big joke of Chinese medicine!

There is also the lowering of the needles regardless of the acupuncture points and sticking needles all over a certain part of the body that appears to be acupuncture! Bluffing consumers who know nothing about Chinese medicine!

There are also the so-called "Chinese medicine practitioners" who do not know the 18 antinomials and 19 fears, and who do not know the basic knowledge of Chinese medicine and prescribe to patients. How can such people be called "Chinese medicine practitioners" when human lives are at stake?

We often say that those Chinese doctors in ancient China, such as famous doctors Zhang Zhongjing, Sun Simiao, Hua Tuo, Li Shizhen ......, as well as those of the ancient emperor's imperial physicians, they do not have a medical license, but the premise is that they know Chinese medicine, know the basic knowledge of Chinese medicine. And they are all scholars or "teachers" of Chinese medicine.

Therefore, "Chinese medicine practitioners" who do not understand the basic knowledge of Chinese medicine should never be allowed to do so. How can we define whether a Chinese medicine practitioner knows the basic knowledge of Chinese medicine? The only way to define this problem is to take a test on the basic knowledge of Chinese medicine.

Reason 2: Chinese medicine is so profound that it is not easy for the general public to penetrate, therefore, Chinese medicine practitioners have high technology as well as poor technology, and it is not easy to define the high and low technology, as there are graduates of the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (UTCM) who are unable to cure common colds, and there are self-taught Chinese medicine practitioners who have not attended the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (UTCM) who are able to cure difficult and complicated illnesses. Therefore, from this point of view, "no matter whether it is a white cat or a black cat", as long as the patient is cured, it is a "good cat".

Therefore, Chinese medicine practitioners must hold a qualification certificate before they can take up employment, but there is no need to make the assessment of Chinese medicine practitioners too complicated; a simple examination on the basic knowledge of Chinese medicine and a pass in the examination will suffice for the issuance of a certificate.

We strongly demand that the current irrational provisions on the practice of medicine, which seeks only certification but not treatment results, be amended!

Evidence needs to be given with an actual case cure rate of 60% or more!

Don't talk about it in the old days, most of the folk Chinese doctors are around 60 years old, can take the pulse of the prescription of pure Chinese medicine old Chinese doctors 4-5 million can not reach one, in the past ten years or eight years will be dead, no matter what the folk old ways and means of healing will have to disappear, because people within the age of 40 years old, who do not learn, in the folk of pure Chinese medicine old Chinese medicine in order to be a giant panda, do not have to be in what the crime of illegal practice of medicine or something, in order to be close to extinction, is to want to find an old Chinese medicine to put the pulse to open some Chinese medicine to eat, not to run on 1-2O kilometers that is impossible. By the imminent extinction, that is, want to find an old Chinese doctor to take the pulse to open some Chinese medicine to eat, not to run on a 2O kilometers that is impossible, but also to see if people are happy to mention needle scorching, a dozen villages and villages also did not have needle scorching division to open the door to the patient needle scorching, are on the city on someone needle scorching, in a word, rural Chinese medicine of the old generation of the old to the death of the old, young people do not learn to understand the dare not do, the rural Chinese medicine of the old basically to be wiped out! The rural people's ancient Chinese medicine is basically wiped out, almost no one in the illegal practice of medicine, tens of thousands of people have a put, but also old, I hope the state and society under the mouth of some mercy, because a thousand years of bones and stones can be archaeological research, investment and protection, He Kuang rural ancient Chinese medicine, is a living treasure, is not a lawyer, is not the law, is harmful to people and their own, if it is the thousands of years, people will not allow them to exist, harming the people of 5000 years.

Laymen learn words, simply blowing, acupuncture is ancient than traditional Chinese medicine early life-saving medical books, this technology does not have the heritage is not, will not learn, as long as you have a destiny with acupuncture and moxibustion of the odd man out to be the highest into the realm of the cure for all diseases, omnipotent, he is the safest and most effective saints of science, how many thousands of years ago to pass down, save lives, help traditional Chinese medicine surgery, first aid, I learned from thirteen to learn acupuncture and moxibustion at the age of twenty to learn traditional Chinese medicine, from the age of thirty-three years old to study! Acupuncture and moxibustion internal prescription, meridian flow injection, sixty-six points, turtle spirit eight method, etc., to complete, 100%, never business hurt, who do not know acupuncture and moxibustion of his disease can never be cured, traditional Chinese medicine can only reach 30%, Western medicine o, surgery of the can be five to + years of life, acupuncture and moxibustion, traditional Chinese medicine itself, development of the folk heritage, rather than the official school, but the situation has now changed, do not scrupulous medical will be doctors of the whole as a counter-revolutionary, the evil bombing, the fines reported to the light, your family in the future, you'll have a bad future. In the future, your family will be insulted, and then you bombed the folk no one to learn, not to compete for money not to support the family, lost the tradition.

As a senior acupuncture enthusiast, I have no doubt about the effectiveness of acupuncture. 20 years ago, my father-in-law had a stroke and was paralyzed, I taught myself the college textbook of acupuncture, and gave his old man needles, so that he was able to walk and regain his memory. My mother-in-law had trigeminal neuralgia, she sought medical treatment in many places, and also got acupuncture from others, the effect was not satisfactory, I gave her acupuncture points once, so that she didn't have pain once in a year.

Since I am not licensed, I have not practiced acupuncture on outsiders. Although acupuncture requires some guidance from TCM theories, it is still mainly a technical operation, and as long as the precautions are well grasped, there are usually no accidents.

However, for the same patient, different acupuncturists have different acupuncture effects, and those who have undergone systematic study and training are more likely to gain people's trust. It is suggested that the state can issue a license for acupuncturists to those who have been trained by the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine plus a certain amount of internship time and have passed the examination. This type of personnel is allowed to carry out the treatment and health care activities of acupuncture, but not to prescribe Chinese and Western medicines.

Acupuncturist license, can be legal acupuncture, so that more acupuncture enthusiasts, engaged in the treatment and health care industry. Not only can improve the quality of health of all Chinese people, but also solve the problem of the legal practice of medicine, but also a step further to promote the development of acupuncture, emerging more Chinese masters of acupuncture!
