The only answer to Korean medicine doctors’ invasion of medicine is the abolition of oriental medicine schools.

” A doctor cannot beat an oriental doctor.
The reason is that oriental doctors are united, but doctors are not.”
A lot of people are saying this.
It’s quite complicated when you look at the internal situation, but it’s the most accurate one summarized in one line.

In fact, doctors are strong when they come together.
The public medical school issue of 2020 and the 2,000 medical school increases of 2024 are brought together by doctors. The finish was a mess, but the impact was strong anyway and the main issue was definitely prevented.

These issues are actually brought together by doctors.
There was no reason for doctors to approve of “public medical schools recommended by civic groups,”
The 2,000 medical staff was seen as too much by the eyes of the hospital director, who would support the medical staff, saying, “It’s too much to increase 2,000 at the president’s discretion.”

That’s one reason why oriental doctors are so strong.
This is because oriental doctors unite as one on some issues.
In particular, there are no oriental doctors who oppose the ‘philosophy of oriental doctors’.

If you look at it, among the issues that oriental doctors are interested in, there are some that do not gain strength.
It’s like a prescription payment for oriental doctors.
Choi Hyuk-yong, former chairman of the Korean Medical Association, pushed for prescription benefits, but oriental doctors who like prescriptions to be non-payments strongly oppose it, so they are not that strong.

On the contrary, there is an issue that oriental doctors push hard.
Ultrasound and X-ray use by oriental doctors.

Yesterday, the ruling party proposed the use of X-rays by oriental doctors. Fifty-two pan-government lawmakers participated.

There are usually 10 members of Congress involved in a bill, but 52 members participated. It’s easy to see that there’s an overwhelming probability that it’s going to pass.

Why do I get so much energy?
It’s because there is no oriental doctor against making oriental doctors.

We have a group of medical practitioners in the U.S. called D.O. who are now M.D. doctors. D.O. seems to be recognized locally as “doctors who didn’t study rather than M.D.” For the first time ever, Trump appointed D.O. as his presidential physician, which made headlines.

What oriental doctors are aiming for is to become a D.O. of Korea. Only the name of the certificate is to become a doctor in reality. The Oriental Medical Association has already been pushing for this goal for 10 years.

I’ve seen a lot of people who think that if I leave an oriental doctor alone, I’ll be kicked out. If I leave an oriental doctor alone, I’ll become a doctor like D.O. in the United States.

Korean doctors will set up a beauty hospital, and a nerve block will be performed at a pain hospital. It is already in progress to some extent.

Two years ago, I called for the abolition of oriental medicine schools. They insisted that even if medical clinics were allowed to be increased, the number of oriental medicine colleges should be drastically reduced instead, and that doctors should lead the way.

At that time, the number of oriental medical schools should be increased, but what nonsense are you talking about? I was criticized a lot as an oriental doctor who was full of Korean medicine. However, it seems that the atmosphere has changed a lot over the past two years as oriental doctors set up beauty clinics and went over ultrasound X-rays.

Last month, the president of the Korean Medical Association was appointed as the doctor of President Lee Jae-myung. Doctors were very surprised by the political power of Korean medical doctors. In terms of doctors, it is the same situation as the president of the medical association, not the professor of Seoul National University Hospital, was appointed as the president’s doctor. Everyone knows what it feels like.

The fact that 52 lawmakers from the ruling and opposition parties rushed to the X-ray bill on oriental medicine doctors should also be analyzed based on political logic. The trend of making oriental medicine doctors into doctors cannot be stopped by the political power of doctors. The judges, the president, and the lawmakers are all pushing the oriental doctors, but how can the doctors who have no power stop it.

What doctors can push for is the abolition of oriental medicine schools. Although professors of oriental medicine strongly oppose it, most oriental doctors are in favor of it and it was even a campaign pledge by the current president of the Korean Medical Association, a doctor of oriental medicine.

Even if doctors cannot prevent ultrasound X-rays from being passed on to oriental doctors, I think the abolition of oriental medicine clinics is worth trying. It was a claim that many people opposed two years ago, but now that the situation is getting organized, I hope that opinions will come together.
