Clinical commentary 臨床

Like nourishes like at its most literal — a lung, filled with everything soft the pharmacy owns, boiled and served as dinner. In a regimen of lozenges and scouring pills, this is the merciful course: the night the medicine is simply a meal. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
