It mainly uses colorful comics and uses dialogue between doctors, nurses and patients. , in the form of pictures and texts, combined with clinical practice, and simple explanations, the obscure medical knowledge is expressed in a humorous and vivid form, which is convenient for readers to understand and master, and interprets the code of esophageal health for the public.

Each knowledge point not only takes into account the need for popular science about esophageal diseases, but also pays attention to the research in this field. Latest research progress. “I hope that with the dissemination and promotion of this book, it will help the public quickly understand esophageal diseases, establish scientific prevention and treatment concepts, and learn correct health care knowledge, so as to recover faster and better.
