you mean mercury like Western dental fillings until a few years ago?
the assassination of President McKinley only succeeded after weeks of lingering infection because "the best surgeons in the country" kept putting their fingers into the bullet wound
My point here is not the technical content of the Chinese practices, but rather the arrogance and military-style dismissal of alien techniques and knowledge.

- mistrial9 4y agohmm the Pres. McKinley story and Pres. Garfield facts have some overlap.. but yes, thx for the pointer, it was Garfield particularly it seems..
- dekhn 4y agoYes, I mean mercury like Western dental fillings (which are not believed to be harmful). The technical content matters a lot! I don't understand why you think I'm supporting western medicine (I do, but admit that it bungled a lot of things on its way to the current state).
