Recently I saw a piece of distressing news: a 24-year-old female graduate student from a university in Nanjing has frequently felt stomach discomfort since July last year. Instead of going to the hospital to see a doctor, she searched the Internet for information and judged that she might have a duodenal ulcer. So I went to the pharmacy to buy medicine and took it myself. I didn’t go to a hospital in Nanjing until I developed abdominal distension and ascites recently. While we are saddened and regretful, we cannot help but ask, can this tragedy be avoided?
