What is the Vietnamese people's attitude toward traditional medicine?
Many doctors who practise modern medicine doubt the effectiveness of traditional medicine. Similarly, some Vietnamese feel uncomfortable in a Western hospital with its smell of alcohol and other chemicals. Moderately Westernised Vietnamese favour a combination of traditional and modern medicine; they believe modern medicine is better in the treatment of microbial diseases and in surgery, while traditional medicine works best for non-microbial diseases, functional disorders, and general exhaustion.
