So this used to be the way people diagnosed diabetes for centuries, since one of the symptoms is excess sugar being passed through urine. I could even understand doctors in remote/underdeveloped/overexploited areas falling back on this if more modern methods were unavailable.
But it just sounds like this guy likes drinking piss

Yeah this is a pretty well-known medical "fun fact"
"I like to do things the old fashioned way."
"What other tests or procedures do you do the old fashioned way?"
"Just this one."
"Oh."
My understanding is traditional Chinese doctors would have you pee on a rock and check it later for ant activity
Drinking it is not a requirement
Ah, so it's only :lmayo: who are so uncivilized
Lmao based china for not drinking piss. Imagine fucking being a western doctor and just accepting the piss drinking instead of finding an alternative.
