Self-Taught Traditional Chinese Medicine nearly Drives Man to Madness
A bizarre incident in Wuhan, Hubei Province, has sent shockwaves through the medical community, as a 53-year-old man, identified as Mr. Jin, was diagnosed with drug-related brain disease after attempting to treat himself with traditional Chinese medicine. Mr. Jin had been studying traditional Chinese medicine for a year and decided to take matters into his own hands when he developed symptoms of a scalp condition, self-diagnosing himself with "cowhide psoriasis" based on online descriptions.
