Patient's question:
I am currently experiencing profound guilt. I really messed up. My wife is pregnant for over a month. One time, while watching the "Soul-Drained Guerrillas" skit by Huang Hong, I was playing around with my wife. She said, "You don't even buy me bananas." I replied, "What bananas? People in the countryside are still working in the fields." But as we kept talking, my wife got angry, and soon after, her stomach started to hurt. Oh my god, could this be a miscarriage?Doctor's answer:
Anger is not just an emotional shock, but also very harmful to various organs in the body. When you feel like getting angry, quickly return to the scene, go somewhere else to stroll, or divert your attention by not looking at the person who makes you angry. Alternatively, silently recite a couplet of famous quotes about controlling anger, such as "Anger is punishing yourself for someone else's mistake. Anger not only harms others, causing shame and affecting relationships, but also harms yourself, humiliating health. People who often get angry have a five times higher risk of heart disease and mortality compared to those who rarely get angry. The Qing Dynasty scholar Cao Tingdong said, 'When facing a situation that makes you angry, consider which is more important— the matter or yourself. A slight change in perspective can make everything clear and resolved.'
