The author of this book is the attending physician of , a critical care medicine department in , a hospital in Guangdong. It tells the stories that happened around him. It is difficult for us to simply locate and treat the patient by relying on symptoms alone. Once it is not located correctly, it will lead to delays and even worsening of the condition (so the condition in the story is often repeated or extremely thrilling at once) - this may be the reason why the patient complains that the doctors will prescribe many tests they think are useless in some scenarios (in fact, it is useful or not, but the doctors know more, and they do not have enough financial ability to support more expenses).

I have read a lot of medical books before, and even more medical textbooks, but I really feel a headache about those professional terms and I don’t feel it after reading it. However, when I read this book, I feel a little interested and impression when I think of the textbooks I have read. (So, in addition to giving the general public, is it useful to see it for beginners in the medical field?) The book
.
is divided into four chapters, but the subsections in each chapter are a complete story, which is just a simple classification. For example, the first chapter tells some basic knowledge (the first story is about human nature and economic issues in medical care), the second chapter is rare symptoms of some common diseases such as diabetes, pancreatitis and thyroid, etc., and the third chapter is many cases of women: ectopic pregnancy , endometriosis, corpus luteal rupture, uterine fibroids, etc. (In this case, the social sexual stigma is still a bit obvious during consultation, and the human body is really too fragile...). The last chapter is about infectious diseases such as AIDS (in the story, doctors are too prone to occupational exposure).
.
In this process, we can see that the public has some blind spots or misunderstandings in knowledge, such as hospitals, doctors, medicine, textbooks, etc., and most people may not understand the meaning after reading it. Through the story, everyone seems to be able to understand it quickly.
.
In addition to the value of this book in medicine, I personally think that the author's writing technique is also very good. As a doctor, the author has personally experienced various details on the scene, and has a good ability to remove interference. The core movements and characters at the scene are both concise and clear in character. The plot may be because of the author's choice, which is full of twists and turns, which makes people unable to bear to release the book (at least after I got it, I couldn't help but read it until I finished reading it - among the books I had at that time, the book's interest in reading ranked first, and I couldn't help but sigh that it is indeed like what was written in "Crazy Group", humans are born to like stories...).
.
Generally speaking, this is a very good book that combines popular science and narrative, which can help everyone understand the operation of our medical system and some basic medical knowledge without knowing it, and avoid making some wrong decisions due to ignorance at some times.
.
I hope to see more works by the author.
