Trying to dodge Chinese traditional medicine in Asian countries when you go to the doctor is such a pain in the ass.

I had to go to three different Japanese doctors before they would give me something other than herbal powder.

I had a colleague who had been a nurse and I'd show my prescriptions and ask "BS or actual medicine" and she'd tell me. I just started asking her first and she'd type out what I need before I went to the doctor.
