In Europe, traditional Western medicine was still mainstream, and the mortality rate of modern medicine was even higher than that of traditional Western medicine. After all, traditional Western medicine had developed for thousands of years. Whether it was effective or not was unknown, but if it ended up killing someone, then it had no reason to exist at all.
Modern medicine seemed very vigorous at first glance, and if it weren't for past life experiences, Ernst would have doubted whether modern medicine was some sort of evil sorcery.
