Vietnam. The Medicine Master

Description

The influence of Chinese doctrine and incorporation of Western medicine results in the constant evolution of Vietnamese medicine. Within the dynamics of innovation, older doctors often appear to be the most cutting edge. Dividing his practice between his native village and his clinic in Hanoi, 74-year-old Doctor Dao Kim Long embodies the future of traditional Vietnamese medicine. Bernard Fontanille meets Dr. Long, who explains his practice based on modernized acupuncture, herbal medicine, meditation, and martial arts.
