Features: The first chapter can be considered a general overview, introducing a comprehensive assessment of health status. Chapters 2 and 3 are the core content of this book, focusing on symptoms and diseases respectively, and revolving around the concept of "self-assessment." They proceed horizontally and vertically, (mutually complementing each other), making it clear to readers. Symptoms are accompanied by flowcharts for self-assessment, and diseases highlight the key aspects of self-assessment. Experts have unreservedly shared their years of clinical insights with readers, and those who read this book will undoubtedly benefit from it. Chapter 4 introduces the values and significance of common clinical tests. While the tests themselves do not fall under the scope of self-assessment, their results can be used by patients for self-assessment and judging their condition. The purpose of self-assessment is, of course, for treatment, so the fifth chapter can be considered an appendix, introducing commonly used over-the-counter medications.
