Yes, it is.


Modern medicine is a build up on traditional medicine. Surgery was done anaesthetic before, there was no scan etc in trads

Yes and no

Modern medicine can not bestow anti bullet proof on human nor hold rain from falling or induce it to whereas traditional medicine can do effortlessly.

Traditional medicine on the other hand can not scan a pregnancy to know the sex of a child as effortlessly made possible science and technology.

However, I'll conclude that what traditional medicine can do, modern medicine can do better but where modern medicine stops is where traditional medicine begins.

It is a capital YES.
We cannot even begin to compare modern medicine with the so-called traditional medicine. I could go on and on talking about the history of medicine to substantiate my position, but it is sufficient to point out one important fact. And that is, that traditional medicine evolved over time into what we now call modern medicine. That should immediately show that by discarding the plethora of faults with traditional medicine humans have been able to evolve modern medicine. In essence what we have is not a traditional medicine-modern medicine dichotomy, but more of the past of medicine and present medicine. Trying to compare the two is like trying to ask whether or not it is better to start trekking (traditional medicine) at 9:00 am from Lagos to London for a meeting you have at 3 pm in Stratford, London. Taking a direct flight (modern medicine) you're likely to arrive at least an hour late; which underscores the fact that going by plane in itself is not a perfect solution, but is infinitely more sensible than trekking.
