Tips

culture
Nearly every Chinese prefecture-level city has a public 中医医院 operating in parallel with its Western-medicine hospitals. They offer acupuncture, herbal prescriptions, tuina massage, and cupping alongside modern diagnostics - many patients use both systems.
usage
The 医医 double might look like a typo but isn't - the first is "Chinese medicine" (中医), the second is "hospital" (医院). Speakers sometimes collapse it to 中医院 in casual use.
