Features: Cai Mingkun says: Rational medical consumption is beneficial to patients, doctors, hospitals, and the development of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Chen Paul says: A doctor on an island explored the community-based healthcare service model in a unique medical environment, shaping the prototype of a family doctor. Wang Hui says: An island-based TCM practitioner demonstrated the role and significance of TCM through clinical practice, proving that primary healthcare needs the involvement of TCM. Du Zhizheng says: The medical community needs to understand society and patients; similarly, society needs to understand doctors and medicine. Medical Diary provides this understanding and communication. This book, based on the author's years of practicing medicine in primary healthcare, offers valuable discussions on how to leverage the role of TCM, advance healthcare system reform, strengthen community medical development, achieve the transformation of the medical model, correctly implement patient-doctor selection, foster a good medical ethics environment, handle doctor-patient relationships, and guide patients in seeking medical care. It proposes many practical insights.
The lines between the diary's pages brim with the joy, frustrations, and conflicts of a doctor committed to patient health. It truthfully reflects, from one perspective, the challenges, contradictions, and reflections encountered in China's healthcare reform journey. This is a book worth reading not only for doctors, healthcare administrators, but also for patients and the general public. The diary mainly covers people's mindsets and misconceptions in medical consumption, the relationship and conflicts between doctors and patients, the role and significance of community healthcare services, the advantages and limitations of TCM, the transformation of the medical model, and healthcare reform, among other topics.
