It took a full 4 years to finally complete this high blood pressure popular science book, and now the feeling is not easy but - tired!
Because I have to work during the day, I can only work overtime at night, and I am often not allowed to rest on weekends. But that's not what makes me feel most tired is:
I am afraid that the popular science content is not popular enough, and many friends with high blood pressure do not understand it very clearly;
Afraid that the content of popular science is not rigorous enough, many friends with hypertension will still make mistakes after reading popular science books;
I am afraid that the popular science content is not comprehensive enough, and many questions of friends with high blood pressure cannot be answered in the book;
I am afraid that the popular science content does not meet the latest guidelines, and many patients with hypertension have not obtained the knowledge of prevention and treatment that is not cutting-edge enough.
OK:
There are tens of millions of fans of real-time inspection and interaction to ensure that this popular science book is easy to understand and most friends can understand;
The teachers of Peking Union Medical College Press of China checked for me to ensure the scientific and rigorous nature of this popular science book;
There are 4 years of thousands of articles, millions of words of science accumulation, to ensure that the vast majority of hypertension problems are included;
There are guidelines from the major guides to ensure that the medical perspective of this popular science book is cutting-edge enough for everyone to get the latest diagnosis and treatment guidance.
"High Blood Pressure, Attention! This book records 64 real clinical cases! The youngest of these is a 15-year-old hypertension patient, and the oldest is a 90-year-old hypertensive patient. It includes 10 major harms of hypertension, 20 major rumors of hypertension, 10 precautions for antihypertensive drugs, 12 judgments of hypertension, 6 methods for preventing hypertension, 7 requirements for measuring blood pressure, how people with hypertension eat and how to live, including bits and pieces of hypertension.
I'm going to give this book to my mom.
My mother is an ordinary farmer and a hypertension patient, and I had planned to finish this hypertension science book early so that my mother could look through it in her spare time. But now this wish is difficult to achieve, because my mother has a rare disease - multi-system atrophy, and she can't take care of herself, can't speak normally, her limbs don't listen to calls, her bowel movements can't control, and she can't read books. But I still want to give this book to my mother, after all, this is my first work, and I am her work.
I'm going to give this book to my family.
Like the vast majority of people, I come from an ordinary family. I have a big family, in this big family, my mother, brother, father-in-law all have high blood pressure, my mother-in-law suffers from kidney failure caused by high blood pressure, my uncle suffers from cerebral infarction and hemiplegia due to high blood pressure, and my uncle suffers from cerebral infarction caused by high blood pressure... If you want to list all the high blood pressure patients in the extended family, it is estimated that you will have to write a page. My family is just a microcosm of countless families in China. I'm going to give this book to my family so they can better manage their blood pressure so they don't have more serious and more complications of high blood pressure.
I'm going to give this book to my classmates (Dr. Wang's name for fans).
Since I started promoting cardiovascular science knowledge through the Internet in early 2018, I have more than 10 million followers and more than 2 billion people have read articles. Cardiac hypertension is the number one disease on the mainland. Statistics from the "Report on nutrition and chronic diseases of Chinese residents (2020)" show that the prevalence of hypertension in people over 18 years old in mainland China is 27.5%, that is, nearly 300 million people in mainland China are hypertensive patients. Whether in the hospital or on the Internet, I can feel the helplessness of many friends with high blood pressure and feel the lack of knowledge about high blood pressure. Many friends either did not find themselves suffering from high blood pressure, or did not control blood pressure, or were deceived by the treatment of high blood pressure, and eventually caused diseases such as heart, brain and kidneys, and even suffered from disability or loss of life. I want to send this book to my classmates, so that more people can stay away from hypertension, prevent hypertension, detect and control hypertension early, prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, let more families avoid the harm of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and let more fans and their families live healthily and happily.
Some people think that I have 10 million fans is amazing, in fact, doctors are different from other professions, I am not a star, not an anchor with goods. More fans is not a big traffic, and more fans is not money. I've always believed that the more fans a doctor has, the greater the responsibility. I am facing life, and every sentence, every article, and every popular science may affect every fan. If I am right and the fans are right, then I am accumulating virtue and doing good; but if I am wrong, or if I deliberately fool the people for some ulterior motive, it is a crime to harm people.
Therefore, as a popular science doctor, especially an Internet science popularization doctor, I should be more strict with myself, tell the truth, tell the truth, and abide by the guidelines, which is the bottom line of my science popularization. During the epidemic period, hundreds of people left messages under my popular science articles every day, when everyone had difficulties in seeking medical treatment and had many problems, and I insisted on answering questions for everyone online. According to incomplete statistics, I have provided free answers for at least 80,000 people. At that time, I had to go to work during the day, and I could only work overtime at night to answer various questions, often staying up until one or two o'clock in the morning. Some people say that doctors know that it is not good to stay up late, because I understand the urgent mood of ordinary people to seek solutions to their illness. This is also a motivation to encourage me to finish this popular science book as soon as possible, because after the popular science is written, most of the high blood pressure problems can be found in this book, and everyone will not be overwhelmed.
From everyone's message, I saw that some people began to pay attention to high blood pressure because they read my popular science articles, and began to actively and regularly control blood pressure, which is the most gratifying thing for me and the source of motivation to motivate me to move forward.
After reading this book "High Blood Pressure, Please Pay Attention!" It is not to let everyone learn how to diagnose and treat high blood pressure. A cardiovascular doctor also has to go through more than ten years or more of study, internship, probation, clinical accumulation, before he dares to diagnose and treat hypertension.
After reading this book, starting a healthy life, starting to prevent high blood pressure, and no longer making very low-level mistakes, it is your biggest gain, and it is my biggest gain. Hypertension is not only a problem related to our personal health, but also a problem related to the health and happiness of a family, and it is also a problem related to the health of the whole people. Because a person does not control high blood pressure, cardiovascular and cerebral diseases may occur, and eventually cause disability and death, affecting the happiness of a family; countless individuals have not controlled high blood pressure, making cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases the most important cause of death for mainland residents.
Hope through "High Blood Pressure, Please Note! This book, Dr. Cardiovascular Wang accompanies you to lower blood pressure, we work together to manage our blood pressure, manage our body!
I am a cardiovascular doctor, I am concerned about your blood pressure, I am concerned about your health!
Let more people stay away from the "three highs" and stay away from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, which is the cause of my lifelong struggle!
