This book contains a summary of Dr. Bo's understanding of disease, health, and life during his 18 years of medical practice, a substantive description of existing medical activities, a description of the great innovations that have produced breakthroughs in medicine, and the doctors who have made great contributions to the continuation of human existence, as well as guidelines for the refinement of doctors' self-cultivation, and the enhancement of their self-awareness as patients and of their skills in doctor-patient communication.
For a layman, two parts of the book really hit home.
First, I thought of a question I had never thought of before, can we live without medicine? Yes, without medicine, we may just be less comfortable, or sickness and death may come unchecked, but the absence of medicine doesn't make us lose the meaning of life.
So what is the point of medicine?
We fight disease and death, not to win the ultimate victory, but to live better.
The ultimate reason for the existence of medicine: life first. In addition to ensuring that the organism is alive. Also to ensure that people live with dignity. And finally to provide life support.
Lu Xun really said this: people must live, love is attached.
Our soul is attached to the existence of this material organism, so this skin is expensive.
To have dignity is the humanistic care of medicine. Many diseases that deprive people of dignity and freedom are given dignity and freedom by medicine, and can live like a normal person with the help of tools.
Any medical behavior must be based on its own repair, otherwise everything is useless.
A strong immune system is the mainstay (underlying logic) that protects our health. We learn to live in peace*** with bacteria, learn to build and train immunity appropriately, the human body is an incredibly sophisticated instrument that can protect itself in a surrogate way when the body is in a condition that is mutually beneficial with hundreds of billions of bacteria*** living*** in survival, but also confused and unable to differentiate between enemy and self and unable to kill the enemy ......
p> From the book I have a deeper level of thinking about the new crown pneumonia, deepening my rational knowledge of this new crown pneumonia epidemic.
People ultimately overcome disease through their own immune repair system, and all kinds of advanced medical equipment and powerful medicines are always designed to assist our immune repair system to fight the disease more safely and effectively and ultimately achieve victory.
I'm ashamed to say that this is the first book I've read in my life about medicine, and I have a whole new understanding of life and medicine, and I'm using the knowledge and concepts in this book to rationally look at the events we encountered, and our lives will be more valuable and efficient!
