Why do more and more patients get treated?

"I came here at 7:00 a.m., and 2 hours have passed, but the line is still endless, when will I be able to get a number?

Uncle Sun sighed, and the people in line gossiped.

Zhao Danang: Everyone is running to the hospital, it is too normal to be overcrowded.

Mr. Li: Nowadays, medical technology is getting better and better, but more and more patients are being treated, so I really can't understand.

Uncle Wang: Why do people get sick? My two sons have died because of illness, and I am now sick, alas ......

The discussion is getting more and more heated there are not a few people who are troubled by these problems.

Why do people get sick? Medical technology is progressing, but why are there more and more patients?

A. Why do people get sick? There are 4 reasons

Health is a necessary prerequisite for human development, but human survival is always accompanied by disease, and the reasons behind this deserve attention.

The reason why human beings get sick, from the pathological mechanism, there are roughly four fundamental reasons.

First, is the influence between humans and other organisms, in nature, not only humans, humans, and other organisms live together, some of these organisms and humans are dependent relationships, but some are competitive relationships, or even predatory relationships, they can bring diseases and challenges to human survival.

Second, the impact of the natural environment, nature is the basis of human survival, the external environment, temperature changes, climate change, air pollution, environmental pollution, food sources, etc., one does not meet the conditions of survival, it will bring disease to humans, and even death;

third, changes within the human body, along with growth, human organs, and tissues can also be affected by emotional, environmental, and other complex factors foci, dysplasia, or dysfunction, which will eventually become the root cause of disease.

Fourth, some diseases are congenital, diseases are inherited by the next generation through genes, which is difficult to avoid in the past, even in modern times, can only solve part of the congenital diseases through medical technology, rather than completely eradicate them.

Second, why is medical science more and more developed now, the more patients are treated?

The national disease surveillance system integration data show that: the number of domestic disease death patients and chronic diseases caused by the number of cases soared from the original 73.8% to 80.9% from 1991-2000, a total of nearly 6 million.

Professor Hua Baojin of Guang'anmen Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine has said that he has been working diligently for decades, practicing medicine and seeing patients to the best of his ability, but the number of patients has increased rather than decreased, and there is no sense of accomplishment.

The increase in patients is indeed partly due to the development of medical technology, people have more diagnostic and therapeutic tools to improve the detection rate and treatment rate of diseases, but also partly due to the lack of prevention.

In 2010, a survey on the burden of disease in the country found that chronic diseases account for 70% of the total national health input costs. The number of diseases in the country is indeed increasing day by day, but the burden of chronic diseases that could have been prevented is even less optimistic.

Yin Daqui, the former vice minister of health, has also reminded the public that "if you only treat but not prevent, the more you treat, the busier you get." This means that many people save a lot of money and end up spending it on emergency treatment and serious illnesses, which is far less effective than early prevention in protecting health.

The medical policy of "prevention first" has always been advocated, but many people do not actively practice it. To prevent diseases, we must start from life, improve our habits, learn to balance labor and rest, and most importantly, "take practical action"!

Third, the former Ministry of Health Yin Daqui gave six golden words about "disease prevention

Prevention is better than treatment, this phrase is hung on the lips of many people, but some people will only say, will not do, and do not know how to do the right, in this regard, experts have summarized the good words.

1. Talk about diet: insist on "eating grass first"

Meat and vegetables at the table, eat vegetarian dishes first, then eat meat, so that vegetables can play a certain role in cleaning and easing the gastrointestinal while supplementing vitamins, fiber, and other nutrients. On the contrary, if you eat a lot of meat for a long time, the lack of vegetable supplementation will lead to a lack of some nutrients, and also increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, bringing the risk of disease.

2. Talk about exercise: adhere to walking exercise

Vice Minister Yin Daqui will also insist on walking 8000-10000 steps every day. For the middle-aged and elderly, walking is the most beneficial, convenient, and safe way to exercise, pay attention to posture when walking, correct walking can exercise the whole body's muscles and tendons, and stimulate human vitality.

Recommended walking 6,000 steps a day, how many steps the elderly walk, no need to be too stereotypical, according to the actual situation, step by step can be done.

3. Talk about sleep: rest when it's time to rest

Go to bed at 11:30 at night, get up at 6:30 in the morning, 23:00-06:30, this time is called golden sleep by the medical profession.

This is because the human body has its biological clock, and sleep has its own rules, if you stay up late for a long time, reversing the day and night, not only will sleep disorders, affect the mental state, and serious cases may also bring the risk of disease.

4. Talk about medication: do not take antibiotics indiscriminately

Antibiotics are an effective drug for treating diseases, but they can also produce drug resistance, leaving people helpless in the future treatment of the disease, so non-essential, it is best not to take antibiotics indiscriminately to protect their micro-ecology.

5. Talk about the mentality: to do "three good"

The three good, refer to personality, ability to deal with things, interpersonal relationships, and life in the world is inseparable from these three points, the only personality to good, optimistic and selfless, clear understanding of self, can stand and keep the right, in the complex interpersonal relationships and world affairs are not negatively affected.

A good state of mind will give people the courage to face difficulties, there are also studies found that a good state of mind may be able to improve immunity and increase the body's ability to resist disease, but on the contrary, bad emotions are a breeding ground for disease, the root cause of the deterioration of the disease, and may even increase the risk of cancer.

6. Talk about habits: no smoking and alcohol, drink water regularly

Stay away from smoking and drinking, and insist on drinking water every half hour every day. Adults supplement 1500-1700 ml of water every day, with a minimum of 1500.

Tobacco and alcohol themselves are harmful to the human body and can cause damage to many organs and the nervous system when ingested into the body, and also increase the risk of cancer, so stay away.

The reason why we need to drink water every half hour is that the human body may be water poisoned by drinking a lot of water for a short time, which is also a burden to the urinary system and kidneys and is not good, but not drinking water for a long time may lead to dehydration, which is equally bad, so it is recommended to replenish water in small amounts and many times.

As the ancients say, "The best treatment is to prevent the disease before it develops. Today, many people lack awareness of prevention, which leads to the prevalence of diseases. Only by practicing preventive actions, can we keep away from diseases. We hope that everyone will take physical action to guard their health.
