I don't know if you still have an impression of such a thing, just in 2018, an incident caused a stir on the Internet. The cause of the matter is actually not complicated: one day in December 2017, a medical related person wrote an article on a website titled "Chinese Divine Wine "Hongmao Medicinal Wine", a poison from heaven".
In fact, at the beginning, this article didn't cause much repercussions at all, after all, it was not a very popular column, but a more professional medical science popularization column, many people didn't know what kind of website it was, let alone click on it to see what the specific article was.
What made this news widely spread was actually what happened later, that is, shortly after writing this article, he was called by the company concerned, believing that his behavior "had a significant impact on the company", and even arranged for the local authorities to go to the place where he lived and take him back to investigate.
As soon as this incident broke, it quickly caused an uproar on the Internet, and many people thought that such a move was reasonable. And just these days, Tan Qindong, as the party concerned, began to appear in front of everyone again, telling everyone about his current situation, according to relevant reports and its own account, he is currently seriously ill and may have entered the "countdown". Why is that? What's behind it? [Beer]

An "ordinary popular science" changed his life
In fact, his original intention of writing that article at the beginning was very simple, not to say that he was deliberately targeting anyone, or that he felt that the publicity of this thing was too exaggerated. After all, we all know that when we encounter different diseases, we need to prescribe the right medicine according to the corresponding cause, as a medical-related person, he naturally has no good impression of those so-called "cure-all" things, after all, such things do not exist in his eyes.
In fact, their family can be said to have strong "medical genes", their mother is a doctor, their sister is also a doctor, and he himself was a doctor at the time. In fact, his family was not particularly wealthy since he was a child, and in order to become a successful doctor, he studied very hard since he was a child, and worked very hard after graduation.
Even if I work for a long time, my body will be infected with a lot of diseases early, and I am already in a serious "sub-health" state at a young age. Realizing that he was not in a good state, he also started to run his own medical science account. In fact, long before his article, there were many reports that the company had signs of "exaggerated publicity" in terms of publicity, not to mention that after the release of the new version of the advertising law in 15 years, many places have required rectification and publicity.
In fact, we can still see a lot of news reports at that time, and some ask why there are still serious publicity problems after being asked to rectify many times, after all, we must know that generally speaking, this kind of advertising violation should not have so many records of being punished.
It is precisely because of this excessive publicity that Dr. Tan, who was ready to sort out relevant materials and make medical-related popular science, was targeted, after all, he knew very well that this kind of product was actually bought many times by people and given to middle-aged and elderly people as a "health care product" to "recuperate" their health, and in his opinion, such people often have a high risk of high blood pressure or diabetes, and people with such diseases should obviously not drink any so-called "medicinal wine" to treat.

Sudden "Flying Disaster"
It was precisely because of this thought that he finally wrote that article, but what he didn't expect was that it would also lead to follow-up events. On that day, when he was walking outside his house, he was suddenly taken away for investigation, during which his wife tried her best to run, but by the time he came out, many days had passed, and we can see that the two pictures before and after he came out can be said to be completely "like two people". The case ended with him apologizing for his remarks.
However, the family didn't think too much about it at first, after all, whoever went in would be a little psychologically stressed, and everyone thought that he might get better in a few days. But what they didn't expect was that later everyone found that his behavior was becoming more and more strange, and there were even certain signs of self-harm and sudden loss of consciousness in the middle of the night. The family hurriedly sent him to receive some treatment, but they didn't expect him to suffer from a certain amount of "traumatic stress disorder".
What you may not know is that traumatic stress disorder is actually a mental health problem that can generally arise after experiencing an "extreme horror" or "stressful" event. Treatment usually involves psychotherapy and medication, which can help people revisit traumatic memories and reduce symptoms. Or by taking some related medications, such as some common antidepressants to relieve mental stress.
In fact, he was on medication for a long time afterward. It's hard for us to imagine what he went through in those days to make a person who was originally in high spirits look like he was languishing and mentally weak. And in addition to the spirit, the career has also suffered a big blow, and many hospitals are worried that if they introduce a "public opinion figure", it is very likely that if something happens or a medical accident will bring huge social attention.
As a result, he had to wander around looking for work, but due to his mental health problems, even if he ran his own clinic, it is estimated that not too many people would be willing to receive relevant treatment. As he said in an interview, if this hadn't happened, he might have been the owner of a small clinic, living an easy life every day instead of trying to live hard, and often being harassed by people who didn't know who it was.

is seriously ill and only hopes to spend the rest of his life "decently".
So later, he simply changed careers completely and became a blogger who specializes in giving people popular science and medicine-related knowledge, but the good times didn't last long, and in 2023, he suddenly found out a serious disease, that is, acute kidney failure, which has even worsened recently, and it can be said that because of this disease, his body has reached a very dangerous point, and in his own words, it has reached the "countdown time".
It is precisely for this reason that he is now open to many problems, and he has never wanted to talk about related issues before, nor is he willing to bear the labels that others put on him, after all, this will remind him of that painful memory, but now at such a juncture, he has basically let go of these, and even began to find ways to make money.
Current residence
We can see where he lives now, it can be said to be described as a "burrow", not only is there no fine decoration, even the bed is very tattered, the only table is where he shoots videos and live broadcasts, just like he said now, in the rest of the days, if he wants to go down decently, he can't do without a certain amount of economic support, especially his wife and daughter also need to have enough financial support for their later life.
So he still continues to run his various media accounts, and will also use these accounts to publish some of his own views on various social current affairs, and at the same time sell some books he has written, so as to reap some income in this way.
his/her own account number
In fact, his incident has attracted widespread attention in related industries, especially in the field of medical science popularization. The incident has made those involved more cautious in expressing their opinions, especially those experts who have a large following. They are worried that their remarks may cause unnecessary trouble and even affect the safety of their families. For example, some medical bloggers admit that everyone is now taking extra care when speaking to ensure the safety of themselves and their families, especially those with many followers.
In general, his experience and the fact that people have become more cautious in writing popular science articles have the benefit of increasing the credibility of the articles, but it has also undoubtedly inhibited the enthusiasm of people to share their professional knowledge and hindered the popularization of scientific knowledge.
And this incident is also like a mirror, reflecting the public's expectations and problems for the objectivity of science popularization on the Internet, as well as thinking about the responsibilities of relevant practitioners. After this incident, the relevant industry set off a deep reflection on the principle of mere communication. Many workers have begun to wake up and adhere to the bottom line of objectivity and science when disseminating knowledge, which is not only related to the public interest and avoiding misleading, but also a strong protection of their own legitimate rights and interests.
In the popular science industry, every piece of information should be rooted in solid scientific evidence, and it is best not to exaggerate and distort the content for the sake of the so-called "popularity" and traffic, and try to ensure the purity and credibility of the information. In addition, science popularizers also need to be armed with science and law in order to be comfortable in the ever-changing field of public opinion. In the face of similar turmoil, they can calmly deal with it and protect themselves from prison.
In order to stimulate the enthusiasm and sense of responsibility of science popularizers, relevant departments and all sectors of society should work together to build a support system. The legislation clarifies the rights and obligations of science popularizers, measures to provide legal aid, and establishes a reward mechanism so that outstanding science popularizers and institutions can receive due honor and reward. Together, these measures will create a more tolerant and sunny atmosphere of popular science, so that the light of science can illuminate every corner and benefit the general public.
