And indeed to doctors of Chinese medicine, such a prescription betrays ignorance. Among its many traditional substitutes is dolichos soup (about NT $ 15 a bowl). No Chinese medical doctor would prescribe a patient an NT $ 5000 dose of rhino horn just to relieve a fever.
因為如果只是退熱，中藥本身替代品很多，比如一味葛根湯，也只需要新台幣十五元，沒有中醫會只為了給病人退熱，開一帖五千元的犀角。
