上世纪30年代,国外流传着这样一个真实的故事:受爱戴的一代名医威廉姆斯感到自己有高血压症状,但他太忙了,上班时无暇测量自己的血压,只有在中午“挤时间”自测血压,但测量的结果却颇出乎意料,连续几天都得出“不高”的结果。因为深信自己的测量技术和血压计的性能,威廉姆斯便认为自己未患高血压。然而,事实上他的高血压正在向坏的方向发展,甚至到晚期非常严重时他仍不自知,直到出现高血压危象而死亡。 In the 1930s, there was a real story circulating overseas: Williams, a beloved generation doctor, felt he had symptoms of hypertension but was too busy to measure his own blood pressure at work. Only at noon did he “squeeze time” Self-test blood pressure, but the measurement results are quite unexpected, for several days have come to “not high” results. Because he was convinced of his measurement technique and sphygmomanometer’s performance, Williams thought he was not suffering from high blood pressure. However, in fact his high blood pressure is developing in a bad direction, and he does not even know it until late grave, until he dies of a crisis of high blood pressure.
