Red flags that end the consultation hóng qí · 必须立刻结束问诊的红旗

Certain findings mean you should be in emergency or urgent care, not in a TCM consultation: chest pain or pressure, difficulty breathing, one-sided weakness or numbness, facial drooping, slurred speech, sudden severe headache, uncontrolled bleeding, high fever with confusion or stiff neck, severe abdominal pain, thoughts of self-harm, significant injury, pregnancy complications, or illness in an infant.

No tradition, and no practitioner, should keep treating something that belongs in an emergency department.
