Ahh.. Chinese physician..

Dr Herbs aka Chinese medicine, also known as Poh Chi Lam in Wong Fei Hung's era or Poh Nam Thong medicine hall in my home town. The chinese physician here is a REAL expert. She could diagnose my throat over the counter 3 - 4 feet away without sticking an ice-cream stick to hold down my tongue or probing a mini torch light into my mouth. After her initial "diagnostic", she recommended some expensive chinese herbs costing £50++ for one box (with 12 tiny bottles inside) and I've been advised to take 2 boxes of different mixtures for my fever and sore throat. Err that would cost me about £50 + £60! What the??? with my current wages I would rather trust my good old Lemsips..
