Unlike modern society where everyone prefers Western medicine, people of this era, influenced by outdated thoughts, put great trust in traditional Chinese medicine. Western medicine, as a recent import, is not as widely accepted as Chinese medicine.
Thus, Kou Shuangshuang, who excels in Chinese medicine, is now a more trusted doctor than Father Allen. People trust and respect Father Allen because of his noble character, his genuine kindness towards all living beings, and his willingness to help anyone who turns to him. Their respect is for Father Allen's character.
Regarding Kou Shuangshuang, aside from acknowledging her character, there is also widespread admiration for her medical skills. As a result, wherever Kou Shuangshuang goes, she is treated as an honored guest by those with status, for in this era, who wouldn't want to know a Divine Doctor? One never knows when one might need a life-saving intervention.
