Master Ji Dian, the third master, is somewhat famous online, with each of his live streams attracting more than 30,000 viewers. However, recently, some netizens have accused him of telling people not to see a doctor when they are sick, even though he does not have a license, and that Western medicine is terrible. Lawyers pointed out that if he intends to guide people not to seek medical treatment in public places, he may have violated the Medical Law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Attorney Liu Yiling of Fidelity Law Firm stated that the person in this case did not have a medical license, yet claimed to believers that they did not need to see a doctor and that his methods could replace seeing a doctor. This may constitute providing false medical advice. In addition to affecting the health of believers, it may also violate the Medical Care Act and the Physicians Act. In addition to administrative fines, it may also involve criminal offenses, which are punishable by imprisonment for not less than six months and not more than five years, and may also be subject to a fine of not less than NT$300,000 and not more than NT$1.5 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Fuda Law Firm<br>Line\uff1a<a href=\"https:\/\/line.me\/ti\/p\/@fdlaw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/line.me\/ti\/p\/@fdlaw<\/a><br>Tel:<a href=\"tel:0277093611\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">0277093611<\/a><br>Facebook:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/fudalawyer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/fudalawyer<\/a><br>website:<a href=\"https:\/\/fdlaw.com.tw\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/fdlaw.com.tw\/<\/a><br>e-mail:<a href=\"mailto:info@fdlaw.com.tw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">info@fdlaw.com.tw<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group fdlaw-faq-block is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What should you do first when you encounter a legal problem?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is recommended to first save documents, conversations, financial records, photos or notices, and organize a timeline of events, and then have a lawyer assess feasible solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What documents should I prepare before seeking legal advice?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can prepare contracts, court or police documents, communication records, payment information, photos, and information about the other party so that the lawyer can quickly grasp the key points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When should you see a lawyer?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If litigation, criminal liability, large sums of money, corporate liability, family assets, or time constraints are involved, it is advisable to consult a lawyer as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<script id=\"fdlaw-generated-faq-schema-medical-law-20260706\" type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"\u9047\u5230\u6cd5\u5f8b\u554f\u984c\u61c9\u8a72\u5148\u505a\u4ec0\u9ebc\uff1f\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"\u5efa\u8b70\u5148\u4fdd\u5b58\u6587\u4ef6\u3001\u5c0d\u8a71\u3001\u91d1\u6d41\u3001\u7167\u7247\u6216\u901a\u77e5\u66f8\uff0c\u4e26\u6574\u7406\u4e8b\u4ef6\u6642\u9593\u8ef8\uff0c\u518d\u7531\u5f8b\u5e2b\u8a55\u4f30\u53ef\u884c\u65b9\u6848\u3002\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"\u6cd5\u5f8b\u8aee\u8a62\u524d\u8981\u6e96\u5099\u54ea\u4e9b\u8cc7\u6599\uff1f\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"\u53ef\u6e96\u5099\u5951\u7d04\u3001\u6cd5\u9662\u6216\u6aa2\u8b66\u6587\u4ef6\u3001\u901a\u8a0a\u7d00\u9304\u3001\u4ed8\u6b3e\u8cc7\u6599\u3001\u7167\u7247\u53ca\u5c0d\u65b9\u8cc7\u6599\uff0c\u8b93\u5f8b\u5e2b\u80fd\u5feb\u901f\u638c\u63e1\u91cd\u9ede\u3002\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"\u4ec0\u9ebc\u6642\u5019\u9700\u8981\u627e\u5f8b\u5e2b\uff1f\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"\u82e5\u6d89\u53ca\u8a34\u8a1f\u3001\u5211\u8cac\u3001\u9ad8\u984d\u91d1\u9322\u3001\u516c\u53f8\u8cac\u4efb\u3001\u5bb6\u5ead\u8ca1\u7522\u6216\u671f\u9650\u58d3\u529b\uff0c\u5efa\u8b70\u53ca\u65e9\u8aee\u8a62\u5f8b\u5e2b\u3002\"}}]}<\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A monk at a well-known temple in Taitung has instructed his followers not to see doctors or get injections.
