Features: The main purpose of the author writing this book is to help vulnerable patients. It calls on patients to read it carefully before going to the hospital, not naively believing that being admitted to a well-known large hospital means everything will be fine. Patients must understand some basic medical knowledge and have a strong sense of self-protection. In this way, the chances of things going wrong can be reduced to a minimum. Whether it is medical staff or patients, they must understand this principle: medical practice is a high-tech, high-risk profession. In some areas, the level of science and technology has not reached that height, so some medical outcomes cannot be predicted, and this requires mutual understanding between doctors and patients. If it is a medical accident, it is either a medical technology accident or a medical liability accident. The former is difficult to completely prevent within a certain time and region due to the characteristics of medical science itself; while the latter can be avoided as long as medical staff have a solid theoretical foundation in medicine, skilled techniques, and a high sense of responsibility.
