Preface
In the fifth episode, we finally delve into professional knowledge! This time, we invited my senior brother Fan Zonglin, whose dedication to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is admirable, spending almost all his time in clinical practice. In this episode, we mainly listen to my senior brother talk about his learning journey and the importance of practice exercises in TCM.
Apologies for the hiatus in recording by Baishui; at the beginning, his habitual “um” and “ah” weren’t well controlled, please forgive us.
