Features: With the improvement of people's material and cultural lives, once they fall ill, they are no longer satisfied with just visiting a doctor and getting medicine. People want to understand how their illnesses develop, how they are diagnosed, how they are treated, and how they can be prevented. Of course, this is also related to changes in the disease spectrum. In the past, if someone had lobar pneumonia, a few injections of penicillin would make them better. If they had night blindness, taking some cod liver oil pills would solve the problem. As for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention, people were not very concerned. Because the illness was over, everything was fine, why worry about it later? But modern illnesses are different. Many require long-term treatment, and some even need lifelong treatment. Many diseases not only require injections and medication but also dietary therapy and psychological adjustment. Therefore, people naturally need to understand the relevant knowledge about these diseases.
Shanghai Science and Technology Literature Press, taking this into consideration, has newly published a series called "" ( means "registration fee"). The price of each book is exactly the same as the registration fee for a regular outpatient visit at municipal hospitals, hence the name. The "" selects common and frequently occurring diseases, with relevant experts writing about the origins, diagnosis, treatment, care, and prevention of each disease. It thoroughly explains all the questions that patients or their families might have. Each book contains over 100,000 words, including hundreds of entries, presented either in a question-and-answer format (one question, one answer, very clear) or in chapters and sections, with one topic explained per paragraph. Moreover, the authors are experts in their respective fields, so they naturally understand what patients or their families need to know. Therefore, the selection and writing of the books are highly relevant to their needs.
The combination of content and form makes the "" truly unique. We believe that after reading these books, patients or their families will be able to resolve their doubts and puzzles, and even healthy people will find them helpful in preventing illness and strengthening their health.
