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, and once the situation changed, why worry about it anymore? However, modern illnesses are different. Many diseases require long-term treatment, and some even need lifelong care. Many diseases not only require injections and medication but also dietary therapy and psychological adjustment. In this way, people naturally need to understand the relevant knowledge about these diseases.
Shanghai Science and Technology Literature Press, recognizing this need, has newly published a series called "" (Registration Fee Series). 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 contributions from relevant experts who write about the origins, diagnosis, treatment, care, and prevention of each disease. All possible questions that patients or their families might have are thoroughly explained. Each book contains over 100,000 words, including hundreds of entries, presented either in a question-and-answer format for clear understanding or in chapters and sections for detailed, step-by-step explanations. Moreover, the authors are experts in their respective fields, so they naturally understand what patients or their families need to know. Therefore, the selection of topics and writing are highly relevant to the needs of readers.
The series is truly a perfect match, with both content and form showing unique creativity. We believe that after reading the books, patients or their families will find their questions answered, and even healthy people will find them helpful for disease prevention and health improvement.
