Features: Today, the purpose of medicine has shifted from "saving lives and healing the sick, practicing humanitarianism" to "extending life expectancy, improving quality of life, and promoting health." This is a historical advancement and also a conceptual renewal. To achieve this goal, on one hand, all medical workers need to undergo a profound ideological revolution to ensure that prevention and healthcare are integrated throughout their practice, truly embodying a service centered on people and health. On the other hand, and more importantly, it is essential to implement health education and the popularization of medical knowledge, entrusting health to every citizen. If these two aspects can be organically combined, it will produce a dual effect. The true pioneer of modern experimental science, Bacon, wrote in his essay "On Health" that "How a person can live a long life is not entirely determined by medicine. Knowledge of physiological hygiene is also the best healthcare medicine for people." A person's medical knowledge is a ladder for improving quality of life and a guardian of health promotion. The best medium for popularizing health education and medical knowledge is books. For this reason, Xi'an World Book Publishing Company invited experts from our province to compile this series of "Family Doctor 5 Yuan Series" for reference by readers. If you can gain useful knowledge or find beneficial inspiration from this series, we will feel immense honor and joy. This series of books compiles a total of 10 volumes, including "Coronary Heart Disease," "Hypertension," "Hyperlipidemia," "Common Cold," "Diabetes," "Liver Disease," "Gastrointestinal Diseases," "Gallstones," "Sexually Transmitted Diseases," and "Hemorrhoids." These books are concise in length yet rich in content, with easy-to-understand language and high scientific content, making them scientific, practical, engaging, and novel. Readers with general cultural backgrounds can easily understand them, while clinical doctors who read these books will not find them superficial. This is a remarkable feature of the series.
