"What? Couldn't find anything? How is that possible?!" Sean was surprised, "Mr. Reynolds, the individual's access permissions are extremely high.

Although Matthew's reputation is widespread, the number of skilled traditional medicine practitioners left in the country is exceedingly small. Michael sighed helplessly.

"With the advancements in modern medicine over the years, people's trust and understanding of traditional medicine have decreased. You might have noticed during your recent appointments that most of the patients are older.

"The younger generation hardly visits traditional medicine practitioners. Haruca Hospital is one of the top hospitals in Crescentville, and If this is happening even there, imagine what it must be like elsewhere," he said.

Shakira lowered her eyes. What he said echoed what Matthew had lamented during her acupuncture training. Traditional medicine had stagnated, while modern medicine continued to progress.
