Find Baidu “check the disease”, can refer to the blind faith () News replay: patients ask about the condition, the doctor recommended Baidu Miss Luo this year, 28-year-old Miss Luo, not long ago, found himself sweating palms serious, on the afternoon of October 20 on the Ningbo Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine to see a doctor. At that time, she hung up the internal medicine general outpatient clinic a male doctor’s number. Hearing Ms. Luo’s complaints, Dr. Li first suspected that she had “hyperhidrosis”, but Ms. Luo thought it was unlikely. The doctor then noticed that she had heavy hair on her hands and suspected that she might have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). When she asked the doctor about the severity of the condition, he told her to go home and check Baidu. Ms. Luo said, go to the hospital, the doctor let the patient go home to check Baidu, this is the first time she heard of this kind of thing. This matter has been exposed by the media caused heated debate, many netizens believe that the doctor is not responsible; but some people think that since the woman may be suffering from gynecological diseases, general internists do not understand and did not pretend to understand, recommend that she go to Baidu to understand the no longer available, just expressed not enough to understand to lead to controversy. () Reporter observation: the body does not feel well, looking for Baidu “check disease” body does not feel well, do not see a doctor to ask Baidu? This is not a joke. A survey of netizens showed that 42.53% of people will use the Internet to collect information every time they get sick, 53.64% depending on the disease, only 3.84% never do. A number of hospital clinicians told reporters that many people now see a doctor before going to Baidu according to the symptoms to “check the disease”, and the severity of the disease almost entirely by guessing. Once you see a doctor, this kind of “check the disease family” will directly throw out their “diagnostic conclusions”, including having bought certain drugs “self-governance” but the effect is not ideal, and then bluntly ask the doctor to “Then they will ask the doctor to prescribe more effective medicines or “see how to cure it better”. If the doctor’s diagnosis is different from the results of their research, some people even prefer to trust Baidu rather than doctors. On the other hand, there are indeed patients who do not understand the medical terminology to ask the doctor was recommended to “look up on the Internet”. In this regard, a doctor to the reporter “complained” that now every day a lot of patients, and sometimes do not have time to speak in detail, so the proposal is also out of necessity, so that the patient to look up the Internet to understand some of the general knowledge of disease prevention and treatment, can facilitate communication. Generally speaking, if the doctor’s tone of voice, the intention to express clearly, patients can basically accept. () experts say: network “check disease” can only be a reference do not blindly believe that “self-diagnosis” indiscriminate medication “Internet check disease is not entirely bad.” “Touch the net” for many years, the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine Professor Liu Anping believes that the appropriate use of the Internet helps people to understand the knowledge of relevant diseases, can play a certain degree of medical popularization. But online information is too mixed, the doctor recommended that the patient to check to give some specific guidance, such as on which types of websites, see which experts published articles more reliable. If only a generalized “go home to Baidu”, indeed less responsible, the patient is at a loss. Liu Anping analysis, online medical articles can be broadly divided into two categories: professional and non-professional. Stronger professional medical articles, even if ordinary people read out every word, it is likely to see “confused”. After all, the profession is like a mountain, this phenomenon not only occurs in the ordinary people, due to the disease is divided into more and more detailed, even if the medical school graduated from the class of doctors, for the non-professional medical articles may not be able to fully understand. And non-professional medical science articles are generally only general, relatively superficial, only some principle things, some analogies and even inappropriate, or easy to generalize, if this “self-diagnosis of autonomy”, the danger of self-evident. “Therefore, the information from the Internet, even if the source of information is more reliable, it is recommended that we only for reference, involving diagnosis and treatment, or to find a professional doctor.” Liu Anping said, whether it is traditional Chinese medicine, look, smell, ask, cut or modern medicine, vision, touch, knock, listen to the examination and diagnosis method, to be done, the patient and the doctor must be face-to-face, the doctor has a perceptual perception in order to improve the diagnosis of the accuracy and effectiveness of treatment. () special reminder: online “check the disease”, be alert to traps “network openness, complex sources of information, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and sometimes may be misled still do not know.” Liu Anping analyzed that the online dissemination of erroneous medical information both unintentional and intentional, but all may become a trap that endangers people’s health – Unintentional dissemination of misinformation: this type of information is mostly found in some of the forums categorized by disease, posting bar. Some patients in the process of treatment to find some of the folk prescription has been exaggerated God, will be posted to share and exchange with patients. This seems to come from good intentions, but not to mention the origin of the unknown prescription, even if the standardized drugs, because everyone’s condition is not exactly the same, especially the diagnosis and treatment of some special and complex diseases, sometimes even the relevant specialist doctors have to rack their brains, and even inevitably misdiagnosis or omission and treatment deviation, although the probability of such a situation will not be too high, but the diagnosis and treatment of the disease because of the age, gender, race and other individual factors, and the treatment of the disease is not easy. Although the probability of this happening is not too high, the diagnosis and treatment of the disease is usually individualized and targeted because of age, gender, race and other individual factors, as well as the existence of different subtypes, different stages and other factors, so the selection of treatment plans and medications emphasizes individualization and targeting. Even if the same type of disease can choose the same drug, but the dose and duration of treatment are not the same. If patients use drugs randomly, it is likely to cause big problems. For example, we are familiar with leukemia, may be known to the public this is a hematopoietic malignant tumor, but leukemia is divided into a variety of types and subtypes, first of all, divided into gonorrhea and myeloid, and divided into acute and chronic, and each series is subdivided into nearly 10 subtypes. These different classifications and subtypes, their treatment options and drug selection, as well as treatment effects and prognosis are completely different, non-professionals are impossible to understand. (Please Deliberately exaggerated propaganda misleading: some driven by commercial interests of the website will be published under the banner of popular science or out of context excerpts of some professional or non-professional medical articles, deliberately exaggerated propaganda to mislead the patient, or even hang out some hard to distinguish between the real and fake “doctor”, “experts “When the” Tuoer “. And no professional background to help practice “eyes of fire”, the general public is really not easy to recognize these “fooling means”. Deceived patients so that the example of financial injury is not uncommon. “In short, the Internet to understand the knowledge of the disease, the heart must have a few points of clarity.” Liu Anping repeatedly reminded, especially on some ambiguous or one-sided boast a drug or therapy articles, or only mention the benefits of not mentioning the contraindications and strict indications for publicity more to be especially careful; recommend that we go to the community hospitals for minor ailments, major illnesses on the tertiary hospitals in a timely manner, do not blindly “self-diagnosis”, “Autonomy”, so as not to take the wrong medicine more harmful.
