Theancient native doctors ,by feeling the pulse,were able to diognose the illness.But not now.That doesn't mean that the present practice of medicine is wrong.I mean the earlier practice is allowed to extinct.

No machine or equipment is going to replace clinicians (those who physically examine patients) at any future time. At present American diagnosis and treatment is more laboratory dependent than earlier. The cause partly is that patients and their lawyers are demanding objective proof of the diagnosis and treatment . Modern technology is also providing several ways of diagnosing and treating ailments which are being used by doctors. Modern doctors use machines in the best interest of patients. And that way doctors are gaining skills and patients are getting more safety.

HI there
Not all doctors cant diagnose without machines. Physicians are basically trained in the art of interviewing, inspection, palpation, precussion, before auscultation.
Nowadays, because of the large numbers of lawsuits, doctors are practicing defensive medicine and all treatment has to be backed with documented diagnoses.
I dont think ancient doctors can be better than the present ones. Would you trust a doctor now to diagnose and treat your heart problem by just feeling your pulses? How about diagnosing early cancer again by just feeling the pulses or examing your throat? Do you think feeling your pulses can lead to a diagnosis of urinary tract infection or AIDS? A lot of diagnoses and treatment on all these disease are made possible because of the diagnostic aids.
Its no excuse for doctors though not to examine their patients well before requesting for the diagnostic aids. ITs just a matter of practicing a little of the hidden armamentarium , rather than going right away to the big guns (diagnostic aids).

That last sentence doesn't even make sense.
