Locals who frequent a traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) hospital in Zhengzhou,Henan Province,are often surprised when they are treated by a German doctor specialising in TCM with fluent Henan dialect.He is Joel Mikael Walker,a master’s student nearing graduation in Henan University of Chinese Medicine.He skillfully performs techniques such as acupuncture(针灸),pulse diagnosis,and cupping therapy.
