TCM & Western medicine which is effective ?

After finish my final exam on Dec 7 , I am very happy to enjoy my holiday , in general , it is very busy and too many assignments and exams during my study period this term of TCM , acupuncture came from China , I founded you need to change your mind and thought , the most important basic concept such as Yin Yang theory , Five elements , Qi , blood , body fluid , acupuncture point and so on , I need to keep in mind and what's philosophy in ancient dynasty of China.

Maybe just beginning to learn from TCM , I am not sure TCM can be a competitor with western medicine , because too many abstract theory in TCM and we can not get a scientific data to improve what's happen disease occur ? for example , when diarrhea , spleen qi deficient is the most factor due to last clinical experiences accumulation from ancient doctor , in really , we can easy to understand what happen if you intake unclean food and water or improper diet habit , infectious disease from virus and bacteria are the major reasons when diarrhea occur.

TCM in comparison with western medicine principle , I prefer to believe western medicine principle because TCM still can not persuade me have a effective treatment once disease occur , too many abstract concepts , not realistic is big problem , too slow process time will not a good method during treatment ,time is money , we have no time to explain what is qi ? what is excess ? what is deficiency ? patient do not need those concept , they want to recovery at once from you , how patient will trust you ?
