Features: The term "rare and difficult diseases" refers to uncommon manifestations of common diseases or rare manifestations of uncommon diseases, which may pose certain challenges to clinical diagnosis and treatment. In reality, common diseases as perceived by doctors often exhibit complex situations during their development, making differential diagnosis and treatment difficult. For example, I once treated a patient who was the president of a magazine company, suffering from severe neurotic syndrome with insomnia, splitting headaches, continuous sweating, and generalized chills. Despite it being midsummer, he wore a sweater. The condition persisted for six months, with previous treatment at a provincial hospital for three months, including symptomatic Western medicine interventions, warming Yang and dispelling cold in TCM, consolidating the exterior to induce sweating, and nourishing the heart and calming the spirit—all proving ineffective. Later, after carefully examining the symptoms, I used methods such as clearing heat, eliminating phlegm, and calming the mind, which yielded good results.
The series is divided into volumes by category, including Internal Medicine, Surgery, Gynecology, Pediatrics, Dermatology and Venereology, Oncology, Urology, Orthopedics, etc. Each volume selects diseases, primarily based on Western medical names, covering both common and rare conditions. Under each disease name, the first section presents the concept, followed by headings such as Clinical Manifestations, Diagnostic Key Points, Effective Therapies, and Treatment Selection and Evaluation. Under Effective Therapies, subheadings include general treatment, acupuncture therapy, massage therapy, topical medications, and dietary therapy, offering rich and diverse content.
At the end of each disease entry, there is a section titled Treatment Selection and Evaluation, which reflects the compilers' decades of clinical experience and clearly indicates effective treatment methods suitable for patients. This is the most distinctive feature of the book, showcasing ingenious design and being truly valuable.
