西医悬赏5万挑战中医“号脉验孕”

近日，中西医争论的“战火”烧到了中医诊脉验孕这个话题上。有人愿出5万奖金发起挑战，悬赏能准确诊脉验孕的中医。

Doctor who does not believe in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has offered 50,000 yuan reward to any TCM practitioner who is able to predict pregnancy with 80 percent success rate just by checking the pulse, according to a metro newspaper in Chengdu on Monday.

成都一份地铁报纸周一报道称，一位不信中医的医生拿出5万元奖金，寻找仅诊脉验孕准确率达到80%以上的中医。

诊脉即check the pulse或feel the pulse，诊脉验孕即predict pregnancy by checking the pulse。这位医生称，如果中医能准确诊脉验孕，他承诺一辈子不再说中医是伪科学（pseudoscience）。一位具有20多年中医从业经验的中医师接受了该项挑战，并豪掷20万摆擂对西医进行反挑战（offered 200,000 yuan as a counter challenge against Western doctors）。
