The Inverted Mirror: Reconstructing Medical Understanding from the Patient's Perspective
Abstract：Sixteen years of wearing white coats, I moved between the wards of the internal medicine department, from the morning light of the respiratory department, to the deep night of the neurology department, and then to the life-and-death race of the cardiology department. I was often the unyielding hope in the eyes of patients, giving them the strength to keep going. As I accumulated experience, I began to feel increasingly confident, boasting myself as a guardian of life, an all-powerful 'master of internal medicine' who could dispel the shadows of illness with professional knowledge and skills. However, I never expected that an unexpected illness would transform me from a doctor into a patient, and completely reshape my understanding of medicine.
