A couple experiences:

--a woman I worked with on some social activist projects had had long-running health problems. She went to NYC to a Chinese medical practitioner and for the first time, reported some success.

--a friend was employed by a couple different Chinese companies over a period of around eight years. Technology field. He quit going to American doctors because wherever he worked, they knew or could tell him what to take. And this was just his co-workers, not even a Chinese herbal medical doctor. I recall he was always amazed at how well it worked, and this includes for such mundane things as hangovers.

I'm really amazed at your story, LiberalEsto. That was discouraging to read what the orthopedic surgeon said--and then wonderful to find the success that you did! Fantastic!
