I write my heart by hand.
"Only the doctor knows! It took two years from writing an idea to publishing it formally. On the day I officially started writing, a big brother who has been in the publishing industry for many years said to me earnestly: "The price of a book is almost more than 30 yuan, and it will cost more than 20 yuan after the discount." This money is enough for ordinary families to eat braised pork or roast chicken in small cities. Why do they want to buy your book? "
On the day when the new book was printed in the factory, I felt my heart was hollowed out, uneasy and restless. First, I care too much about attaching importance to and guiding my brothers on the road of writing, fearing that there are no qualified works to explain; Second, paying too much attention to whether it really helps readers.
Later, the book became a hit by accident, with rave reviews from readers and extremely hot sales. The publishing house keeps printing, and the evaluation given by the media and book reviewers is also bursting with positive energy. He also won the most influential non-fiction book award in South China, which was beyond the dreams of an ordinary obstetrician and gynecologist who tried to write for the first time and had no literary talent at all.
There is a slogan on the cover of the book: "Even if you are an intellectual woman, you may know less than 5% about your body." This is an excellent copy, but to be honest, I have always had doubts about it. I have always felt that the education level of modern women has generally improved and the medical conditions are much better than before, haven't I? Later, from a large number of readers' feedback every day, I found that many women really know too little about their bodies, or misunderstand too much, which has brought great harm, especially in the face of complex problems such as sex, contraception, pregnancy, childbirth and parenting.
For example, many girls don't know about contraception and think that painless abortion is harmless abortion. No big deal. Isn't it like catching a bad cold? Many girls don't know that emergency contraception is a remedy for contraceptive failure, but they have fun first, and then take two tablets and feel that everything is fine; Many girls do not understand the health and safety of sex, do not know how to protect themselves, suffer from sexually transmitted diseases, and destroy their entire reproductive system at an early age. When the dust settles and they are ready to be mothers, they will regret it.
After all, the capacity of a book is limited, there are too many women's health problems to tell you, and there are too many tearful and bloody stories to tell female friends, because women really know their body structure, take care of themselves scientifically, know who to turn to for help in case of problems, and know how to prevent and treat them in time, so many tragedies can be avoided and many happiness can accompany them for life.
As a result, countless small time periods outside work are added together, and countless scattered nights of lighting and cooking oil are accumulated together, and this book "Only doctors know! 2. After writing this book, I officially entered the year of my life. It should be said that my writing mood is sober and rational, I have given up a lot of personal small troubles and big troubles, and tried my best to tell wonderful stories and understand popular science.
It is my greatest wish to complete this book to realize the old adage of "cure before illness" and practice the "one ounce of prevention is worth one pound of treatment" advocated by Laoxiehe people. If I can't reach my skills, I will continue to work hard, at least to record the medical status quo of this era in words.
Many readers ask, Dr. Zhang, will you give up medicine and join literature? Then it lists Feng Tang, modern Lu Xun and Mao Mu and Chekhov abroad. In fact, I know people like my books, because I come from the hot water of real clinical work. The story is true, the emotion is true, the popular science is serious, and the words are sincere. After reading the book, many of your puzzles can be revealed. Therefore, I will stick to my dream when I was young and be a good doctor. As long as readers like it, I will keep writing.
I must thank Peking Union Medical College Hospital, which has been training me, for finishing these two works in three years. The hospital culture of generosity, love and doing great things without paying attention to details gives me the courage to enter the public eye as a doctor from a relatively conservative industry. It is because of its generosity, kindness and freedom that many Concord doctors have the opportunity to be active on the Weibo platform. They tell stories, talk about popular science, talk about life, discuss the system, restore the true nature of doctors, narrow the distance between doctors and patients, and treat each other sincerely, so that they can be more intimate and United in the process of fighting diseases.
Thank you for your support over the years. Happiness is to get along calmly and grow old together. Thanks to the children, without them, the publishing house might have been printing "Only doctors know! However, as the old saying goes, women are living children and the most important topic in our lives.
Finally, I want to dedicate this book to women all over the world and future children.
