Features: The book's starting point is to guide people rather than scare them. Going to the hospital is an indispensable part of our lives. Imagine when we are bleeding profusely or suffering from a heart attack, stroke, or fracture, what choice do we have? When we rush to the hospital, we are already in a state of panic. If we encounter poor service from medical staff, we will complain desperately, but we forget to carefully observe the emergency care they provide. This is precisely because we place too much trust in doctors, nurses, and hospital management. Moreover, even when we realize something is wrong, we remain silent for fear of angering those who hold our lives in their hands.

To address these issues, she offers many practical and beneficial suggestions and advice in the book, helping readers better protect themselves in hospitals and avoid accidents.
