Patients always ask Dr Og about TCM, aiyah very pek chek lah. All I know about TCM is last time small I fever, my mother give me leng yong drink. End up I my fever never subsided for one week. Now I smart, just take panadol and pour whatever tonic my mother gives me. hahaha

But the most irritating thing about traditional medicine is this scenario:

Ah pek: "Lokun, why cannot recover one. You no good la"

Lokun: "Ah pek you got take your meds boh?"

Ah pek: "No leh, I am taking herbal medicine to adjust the Qi. The sinseh say my body too cool liao."

Lokun: "Alamak, just take both lah."

Ah pek: "Cannot! Take Chinese meds cannot take Western meds. Will cheong!"

(Disclaimer: no ah peks were ever hurt or injured in the making of this blog. Though sometimes there is an urge to knock their heads.)

In any case, Dr Og did some investigative journalism and here are some photos of Traditionl Chinese Medicine made the most traditional way. You decide if these are things you like to ingest, ok?

Wah, another innovative use of children's playground! Air dry TCM!

TCM medications processed and made the most traditional way. No western factories or industrial manufacturing! Just leave on the ground for extra ingredients!

A closer look. Just hanging around, hanging around...

Wow, pigeons all around the area. Mebbe they need to put up a scarecrow!
