Many people are already sick, why do they say they are not sick? Why do people in China generally avoid medical treatment?

There are several reasons why people in China are afraid to see a doctor.

1, distrust of hospitals and doctors.

The relationship between doctors and patients in China has been in a very tense state, because there have been incidents in which doctors misdiagnosed patients and caused them to die. As long as such a medical accident happens once, it will lead to serious social impact and the doctor's social credibility will be greatly reduced.

People who are seriously ill often feel that doctors are not sure about their illness and think that their illness is not serious. The doctor said that he was seriously ill just to scare himself, just to make them spend more money on treatment. It is precisely because of this psychological effect that many patients are deceiving themselves and not actively treating them according to the doctor's advice. As a result, the condition became more and more serious, and finally there was no treatment.

I think it will pass after a while, and I can overcome the disease with my will.

China people's national character contains excellent qualities of perseverance. We are a hardworking people. For example, if we are slightly injured and can't walk out of the line of fire, we must persist until the last moment. Although this national character is a good quality, it does not apply to physical diseases. Many times, it can't be overcome by strong willpower. When it comes to treatment, we should actively treat it and don't delay the best treatment opportunity.

3, reluctant to spend money, unwilling to receive treatment.

This is especially obvious in rural areas, where the economic situation is poor and the pressure of life is particularly great. Once you get seriously ill, you need a lot of money to treat it, which will make the whole family return to poverty due to illness. For other family members, sick people will refuse treatment, which is also a helpless move.
