尽管现代医学与中医学均存在一些不足，但医学的正确与否不应以现代科学理论作为唯一的判断依据。无论基于哪种理论体系，只要能够以患者可以理解和接受的理论阐明发病机制，能够解除患者的“病痛”，能够延长患者有生活质量的生命，就是好的医学。当今的西方医学界已开始引入包括中医学在内的各类传统医学，以治疗各类慢性病和精神情绪障碍等。笔者倡导现代医学应以患者症状为中心开展中西医结合治疗（结合药物治疗、精神疗法、情感治疗及其他疗法）以更好地解除患者“病痛”，并建立起完善的中西医结合医学体系。

Although there are some shortcomings in both modern medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, the rightness of medicine should not be judged solely by modern scientific theory. No matter which theoretical system is based on, as long as the pathogenesis can be explained with the theory that patients can understand and accept, the “pain” of patients can be relieved, and the life span of patients with high quality of life can be prolonged, it is good medicine. Nowadays, western medicine has begun to introduce various kinds of traditional medicine, including traditional Chinese medicine, to treat various chronic diseases and emotional disorders. The author advocates that modern medicine should focus on patients’ symptoms and carry out comprehensive treatment with integrative medicine (combined with drug therapy, psychotherapy, emotional therapy and other therapies) to better relieve patients’ pain and establish a perfect integrative medicine system.
