Doctors Yang, Liou, and Zheng. Experts in Chinese Medicine

Description

While a Western doctor might view high blood pressure as a diagnosis in itself, an authority in Chinese medicine will most likely see hypertension as a side issue, aiming instead to repair the "imbalance" in an afflicted patient's body. The many differences between the two medical traditions, as well as their interesting similarities, come to life in this classic documentary, which follows three respected Chinese physicians in their daily work. Dr. Yang is seen lecturing to a group of students before an elaborate circular chart illustrating essential concepts. At a busy clinic, Dr. Zheng sees patients and displays his abilities in the fine art of taking a pulse-the main avenue of diagnosis in Chinese healing. Meanwhile, Dr. Liou demonstrates treatment and teaching skills which have made her a mentor to many foreign students. A part of the series The Healing Arts.
