Moreover, hospitals are most afraid of making mistakes, and even the most careful doctors and nurses will inevitably have omissions.

For this reason, Martin McRae, an associate professor of surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital in the United States, published a book entitled "What the hospital won't tell you", which provided many practical suggestions to patients from the perspective of insiders.

So, which hospitals won't tell patients "little secrets"? Xiao Qing United dietitian selects 5 practical secrets for everyone ~

Take calcium supplements.

It is best to take calcium supplements.

With the increase of age, the loss of calcium in the body will become more and more obvious. The best way to protect bone health is to start with every meal.

Because dietary calcium supplementation is healthier than medicine, the daily calcium intake of adults is about 800 mg. Xiao Qing recommended seven foods with high calcium content: sesame, kelp, shrimp skin, milk, cheese, mustard, sea cucumber and bean products.

Of course, to protect bone health, we should not only eat well, but also exercise moderately, so as to truly prevent bone health.

Drink water in moderation.

I believe everyone knows that drinking plenty of water has many benefits, not only to lose weight and promote metabolism, but also to help the kidneys detoxify and reduce the burden.

The adult kidney can only excrete 800~ 1000 ml per hour. If you drink more than 1000 ml in an hour, it will not only promote metabolism, but will affect the health of the kidneys.

So drink plenty of water, but the water consumption per hour should not exceed 1000 ml.

A small cold can't go to a big hospital.

Many people go to the hospital as soon as they get sick. Although this cautious attitude is a good thing, there is really no need to go to a big hospital for common diseases, sudden diseases and chronic diseases!

Community health service center is a good choice. Due to the limited resources of large hospitals, it is often difficult to register and seek medical treatment.

The existence of community service centers is to facilitate people to seek medical treatment and relieve the pressure of seeking medical treatment in large hospitals, mainly targeting at some common and frequently-occurring diseases.

Moreover, if the elderly are inconvenient to move, community doctors can also come to the door; If the illness is serious, the community doctor will refer you and suggest which specialized hospital you should go to.

It's best not to have surgery on Friday.

The risk of surgery on Friday is much higher than at other times of the week.

The first day after operation is usually a period of frequent problems. If it happens to be Saturday, it is difficult to guarantee postoperative care, because outpatient doctors don't go to work on weekends, and the emergency room is always crowded.

Of course, some big hospitals have too many patients who need surgery, so avoid surgery on Friday. If it happens to be this day, it is better to do it than not to do it.
