1. I think there is nothing wrong with the college entrance examination. You should determine which medical school you want to go to, and prepare the progress and intensity of review according to your expectations. Now that the university has expanded its enrollment, it is no problem for a lawyer to remember so many legal provisions and be admitted to a key university. In fact, if it is not for the medical license, it is really the best choice to find a master to take you. This kind of master, just like his parents, will teach you all his skills. Of course, you have an obligation to support him in the future. This has no legal effect, but it has been the way of teaching teachers and apprentices since ancient times.
No one can help you, it's all up to you. I think it mainly depends on what you want to do. If you like the legal profession and just want to learn Chinese medicine as a hobby, then daily health books can satisfy you. But if you want to take Chinese medicine as your lifelong career, you must give up your lawyer job after graduation at the latest. My personal learning experience is that mentoring is naturally good, but to learn Chinese medicine, you must read the classic ancient prose repeatedly, and the knowledge without understanding from the original ancient prose is not solid. Chinese medicine or other cultures in China pay attention to enlightenment and wisdom, while various technologies in the West pay attention to memory and wisdom, which are totally different.
You think too much. Nowadays, girls take care of people in their 30s and 20s. It is China people who have these ideas. I am studying Chinese medicine in the United States now, and many of my classmates are 40-50 years old, all of whom are studying this to develop a second career. Many of them are ill and there is no other way to treat them. Let's try Chinese medicine. They will cure it, so they come to study. As long as you hold your own will, you can do whatever you want, not to mention that others may not think there is anything wrong.
This is the only problem I think. If you take the college entrance examination, you should at least postpone your pregnancy until after the college entrance examination, otherwise your body will definitely not be able to stand it if you provide nutrition for your brain and children.
On the whole, I am very supportive of you, haha. Tuition in China is not expensive. Buying a house is not enough for a toilet. If you really think about it, you can do it if you want. In fact, many people are always hesitant to do great things, so I am persistent. If I don't do this, will I regret not seizing the opportunity when I die of old age? If so, I will do even the most difficult thing.
PS: I saw the American friend you mentioned. He will choose western medicine when he is ill. Hee hee, I really laugh at this view now. The United States once conducted a survey, and the medical staff in a region went on strike for half a month, and it was found that the mortality rate at that time dropped sharply. Later, everyone thought that the death rate would rise after the strike because of illness, but there was no result at all. Later, the survey found that in the United States, the mortality rate of going to the hospital for serious illness is basically the same as that of not going, and the mortality rate of going to the hospital for minor illness is much higher than that at home. This is western medicine in America. I can't say whether China is like this. No investigation, no right to speak. The company under investigation is a world-famous rating company without any prejudice.
Besides, why doesn't western medicine recognize Chinese medicine? This is completely the concept instilled by western countries, and it is ridiculous to regard the birthplace of Chinese medicine as a classic. Take the United States as an example The American medical system is controlled by western pharmaceutical companies. Even if Chinese medicine is sold as granules processed by pharmaceutical factories (the granules produced after purification of each medicine are not compound, they are still available in China now. It costs less than $20 a day for a week, but if you look at western medicine, the latest cephalosporin tablets are all at this price, not to mention those injections used in hospitals. Pharmaceutical companies control all medical school textbooks in the United States. It can be said that every western doctor is a salesman in a pharmaceutical factory. It is not terrible to have such forces in the world. The terrible thing is that we have no ability to think, and many people are betrayed to help others. As the saying goes, it's hard to persuade a damn ghost. Don't mention Chinese medicine to such people. If he says this is good and that is good, just smile. Even for avalokitesvara, what can you do if someone dies and Jesus comes to take him away?
