Thanks for the invitation!

Since ancient times, medicine does not eat, medicine does not heal, but not absolutely, generally small illnesses can of course, and big illnesses on the difficult to say, one of the mind God chaotic, the second medicine too cautious, do not dare to boldly use the medicine, three self-consciousness is too complex and difficult to determine the symptom with the prescription of this is also the right, and that also often cause the inability to subjective opinion.

I grew up in poor health, all the way to learn Chinese medicine process is all the way, the practice in their own body to practice and regulate their own body problems.

Because of too many antibiotics as a child, the body is more cold, when I went to high school, cold hands and feet, the colder the more sweaty Jinjin long frostbite, came to Guangdong to go to college after learning Chinese medicine through the Chinese medicine method to constantly regulate their own bodies, with a simple moxibustion to their own bodies to the state of Yang deficiency adjusted back.

Your hands and feet are warm, and there is no previous cold sweating, this feeling, at the same time, before there is spleen and stomach is cold, eat something easy to stomach bloating, repeated diarrhea, etc., these are their own moxibustion, but also with traditional Chinese medicine as well as acupuncture to constantly regulate.

Through the experience of their own conditioning, these therapies acupuncture as well as Chinese herbal medicine can really feel the role of these therapies, this is really experienced, which is also the source of my bottom line after learning in. Because in their own body to see the effect, only to have the confidence in others to practice.

I shared a while ago that I give myself acupuncture and this little trinket of septic moxibustion on my stomach, and really these are all things that I'm doing to keep conditioning myself.

I remember one time I had a really bad toothache in the middle of the night, felt like my whole head was going to explode, crawled to the emergency room of a big tertiary care hospital and said I'm dying of pain, I need to see an emergency room.

The nurse who registered said that we could not see without dental one night, I had no choice but to go home and give myself acupuncture, bloodletting after school, finally I could sleep quietly for a night, and by the next day, the hospital checkup found that it was acute pulpitis.

A lot of times it is a process of treating yourself, which I find enjoyable because I can relate to the effectiveness and usefulness of these methods.

A lot of times is also forced, for example, in the middle of the night to Ji Chenke no dentist can not see, and then for example, their own body of this kind of various chronic sub-health state to wash, cure, and so on, of course, the other main reason is that I am very early in my own is not quite willing to believe that hospitals inside the Western doctor before firmly learning Chinese medicine.

Finally, put up a picture of me giving myself a treatment.

Before starting this topic, I would like to share the feelings of many doctors when they went to college, when they started to study the theoretical knowledge of clinical medicine in their junior year of college, such as Internal Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pediatrics, etc., they could not help but feel that their hairs were standing on end when the teacher was explaining the clinical manifestations of various diseases in a colorful way on the podium and they were shocked to see a cold sweat on their foreheads, and they were thinking that they had this symptom, and I had bumps on my body, too. I also have this symptom, how do I also have a pimple on my body," and so on, feel that their own performance coincides with the book, and even think that they have an incurable disease, the disease is haunted.

This is the kind of medical student I would like to be, but the reality is much bleaker than that

Of course, when it comes to doctors seeing themselves, the first thing that comes to mind is whether a barber can cut his own hair, and the answer is NO, unless you're Edward Scissorhands.

Of course doctors are generally not allowed to operate on themselves, but back in my school days I heard of old professors who used to cut out their own appendixes! This is not alarmist, in 1929, a young German doctor first in his own body the first human cardiac catheterization, he will be a catheter along the left anterior elbow vein insertion, and sent into the right atrium, photographed the first cardiac catheterization chest X-ray in the history of human medicine, and from then on laid the foundation of the cardiac catheterization examination, we all know the coronary arteriography from this derivation. The development of medicine can not be separated from these "ruthless" pioneers, these masters are often virtuoso, in order to the development of medicine at the expense of their own.

In fact, for some internal diseases, doctors are perfectly capable of treating themselves. Moreover, doctors have rich and specialized clinical knowledge and may be more rational when facing diseases, not only understanding the development of diseases, but also understanding how they should be treated, which can avoid delays and reduce the associated risks. For example, in the face of chest pain, people without a medical background may first consider angina and may take a large amount of nitroglycerin to relieve the symptoms, not realizing that there is a maximum dose of nitroglycerin and its frequency of use (for those who don't know, you can read my recently updated headline), and that overdose may be counterproductive. If the patient has aortic coarctation, due to the aortic intima buckling, the arterial blood flow rapidly to the subintima, resulting in arterial occlusion, arterial rupture and other serious complications, this time, if nitroglycerin and other vasodilator drugs, may make the disease worse.

aortic dissection

Of course, when doctors learn that they are suffering from incurable diseases, they are sometimes more vulnerable than other patients, precisely because they know how they will end up, just as the old saying goes, "Doctors are human beings, not gods," and "Doctors can cure diseases, but not life," so they are often heard chatting with colleagues saying that if they have a bad disease, they will not be treated, or when they are dying, they must urge their relatives to give up resuscitation and let themselves die with dignity. Therefore, I often hear colleagues chatting with each other that if they have a bad disease, they will not treat it, or when their lives are in danger, they will urge their relatives to give up resuscitation, so that they can die with dignity.

Therefore, doctors, as a group with a professional background, should prioritize the prevention of diseases, both for themselves and for other patients, so that they do not wait for the diseases to come before regretting them.

I am an old doctor of sorts, practicing medicine for nearly forty years, mainly using traditional Chinese medicine to treat a variety of difficult cases, liver disease and tumors.In 2015 I suffered from a suspected lipo (also considered fibrosarcoma) sarcoma, the major hospitals are considering surgical resection, so that the observation of three months depending on the changes and then consider resection. So I started my own treatment, taking the same medicines as I used to give to my patients, the desire to survive was particularly strong at that time, and I started taking the medicines okay, on time and on schedule. There is a kind of capsule that I prepared myself, six capsules three times a day, plus other medicines are indeed very difficult to eat ah, spit out and then eat in, sometimes tears fall down. Reflecting on myself, so many patients eat is a few years or more, really admirable. So I thought to increase the drug concentration and reduce the size of the drug, so that the number of patients to take less, and the effect of the drug does not decrease. Therefore, as a doctor, we should always think differently, if I am a patient or whether I can eat in or not, and really experience what it is like to be a patient. I really hope that "I'd rather have dust on the shelf, but also wish there were no patients in the world!" I wish there were no sick people in the world!

Thanks for the invite!

When it comes to doctors treating themselves, I know it very well! From the time I studied medicine until now, the only thing that I feel is the fullest realization of "usefulness of studying medicine" is that if you study medicine, you can be a doctor for yourself when you are sick, and you can also do health care for yourself.

I'm sure! People must be very concerned about how doctors treat themselves right?

In fact, it is easiest to treat yourself! Because they are sick, they can most deeply appreciate the symptoms of the disease, can be the first time to respond, and do not need any instrument can diagnose many common diseases, it can be said that many diseases doctors can diagnose just with a look and smell, this accuracy rate of more than 90%. There are only some diseases that need auxiliary tests to verify! So, many times, basically no auxiliary examination.

Once the diagnosis is clear, it's time to medicate yourself, and that's even easier! Just buy the medicine and take it, the odds are good that it will cure you! And it is the cheapest and most effective medicine. However, there are times when doctors misdiagnose themselves, basically because they are too confident and don't have the ancillary tests to verify it.

So, it's kinda okay to be a doctor! The upside is that it's easier to see a doctor and treat health care!

Feel free to join the discussion!

It is more efficient to see a doctor with yourself, in addition to the medical knowledge you have, there are many doctors colleagues and other powerful medical resources, others may need to register and queue up, the doctor may only need to phone or WeChat communication, but there are a few cases still need to register and queue up!

I inexplicably developed painful muscle cramps all over my body in multiple places in 2019, thighs and calves being the most common. I would wake up at night with pain, and occasionally during the day when I walked faster, and I was even more afraid to work out at high intensity, so I gave up working out for a while. During that time, I often joked with my friends that I was afraid I would slowly melt away.

Of course I couldn't just sit back and do nothing, so I started on the road to self-help. My specialty is neuroscience, so I analyzed my problems using the thinking that is unique to my specialty - locative qualitative diagnostic thinking.

Positioning: muscle (other thought processes are omitted here)

Characterization: Using the "MIDNIGHTS" principle, eliminate one by one. The final "suspect" is M - Nutritional Metabolism.

So which nutrient metabolism problem is next? Check the literature. Search pubmed, uptodate, and soon, yes, that's right, soon, I found the idea.

A piece of literature just came out about "the relationship between muscle pain and vitamin D deficiency", so I rushed to the hospital to get myself checked for vitamin D. I was shocked to find out that my vitamin D level was much lower than I thought. My vitamin D level was much lower than I thought. What are you waiting for?

After taking 1000U of vitamin D per day for 2 months, something magical happened: I stopped cramping and my muscles didn't hurt. I went to check my muscle enzymes again, and they were normal (before, creatine kinase was as high as several thousand). Life was finally back to normal.

What does it feel like for a doctor to see himself, you ask? It feels like 2 things:

The first one, of course, is not regretting studying medicine;

The second is that the most important thing for a doctor is not how much knowledge you have, but scientific medical thinking.

Tell me more.

In fact, not only to see a doctor, but also to solve problems in life, the way to think about the problem predetermines whether you can solve the problem, happy or not.

If you always use some concepts of "nothingness" as a starting point, and then do all kinds of reasoning, even if your reasoning process is more rigorous, what you get will definitely be another "nothingness".

Take insomnia as an example, some people will label themselves with various labels, such as "weak here and there", and then use all kinds of ways to solve this "weak", and in the end, in addition to getting more anxiety, get nothing.

The more grounded way to think about it is actually this:

1. Is there a definition of insomnia? Do I fit the definition?

2. if it fits, what are the reasons behind my insomnia? Which reasons can be solved? Which reasons cannot be resolved at this time?

3、How to judge the effect of treatment?

After a trip like this, you may realize that the problem you were worried about was not a problem at all, but just what you defined as a "problem".

You know what? You're anxious because you're trapping yourself with unwarranted taboos. Go ahead and tear down the labels.

On the topic of insomnia, I wrote a column. If you need it, you can subscribe haha.

For minor ailments, nothing really special, for example, I usually carry some nasal spray and anti-allergy medicine, which I will use in time when I have a rhinitis attack, so that I won't have to suffer as many people do. I used to have a superior doctor who suffered from diabetes himself, that is, he took insulin himself to keep his blood sugar under good control. Let's just say that doctors as a whole are better at self-management because they have more patient contact and a better understanding of the disease. The key to many chronic diseases is self-management.

As we all know, doctors treat sick people and save lives, and every doctor has a healer's heart.

So what does a doctor who sees and cures so many patients every day do if he or she gets sick?

Should we be self-sufficient? Or should we look for another doctor?

In fact, doctors are also ordinary people, only that they have to know more about people than everyone else, more about every part of the human body, more about the structure of the body of every person, and more about the reasons why every person is sick.

Doctors this profession, the minimum also have to spend 5 years of youth, including the period in school, as well as internship, further training period ...... The doctor's profession takes a minimum of five years of youth, which includes the school years, as well as the internship and further training period, etc. A lot of time to hone, a huge amount of theoretical knowledge of medicine, a lot of medical technology operation, everyone thinks of the high-paying industry, it seems to look bright and shiny, in fact, the doctors are in the back of the payment of a lot of not only youth, time, experience, and energy.

Getting back to the point, what exactly does a doctor do when he or she is sick?

In fact, it is very simple, then I will first talk about the division of doctors, first of all, the hospital is divided into a number of departments, each department of the doctor to learn the theory of operation techniques are different.

As the saying goes, there are specialties, and as an example, the medical knowledge touched by one is surgery and the other is internal medicine is very different.

Surgery: As the name suggests, it is mainly the outside of the body, where a person has suffered a traumatic injury, or trauma, abrasion, or a serious fracture from a car accident .... and many other diseases caused by the outside, mainly with surgery and other to treat the human body inside and outside the disease of a sub-specialty.

Internal medicine: a specialty that treats diseases of the internal organs, such as endocrine disorders, heart disease, and cardiovascular disease, primarily with drugs rather than surgery, that are born from within.

Therefore, if you happen to be able to solve the problem yourself, if you can solve it with your own medical specialty knowledge, of course, you can solve it by yourself, prescribe medication by yourself, and if it is serious, you can write your own doctor's order and let the nurse give you an injection. If you can not solve the problem, then you have to trouble other doctors, need to let other doctors to see themselves, prescribe medication, although it sounds funny, doctors let doctors see the doctor, but in fact there is no way, professional counterparts are still very important, sick should go to the doctor to see a doctor, do not take their own drugs, can not stay sick, do not go to see a doctor, the body will be collapsed!

If you are sick, please go to the hospital in a timely manner, do not trust, trust our doctors, the big disease into a small, small disease into nothing! Finally here to wish you good health, the weather is getting colder and colder, we pay attention to keep warm, recently it is the most common season of colds.

Generally speaking, the average doctor will still see himself for common diseases and illnesses. In addition, each doctor has his own specialty and it is difficult to be good at everything, so the doctor has to see other doctors as well. There is also the fact that in old age, very doctor has to save his life at the hands of his students or students of his students. From a patient's point of view, the doctor himself is not sure of the results of the bad will also need other specialists to consult.
