In 2012, the American Board of Internal Medicine launched a nationwide [Smart Choice] campaign to identify medical examinations and treatments that are not necessary or beneficial to patients. More than 50 medical professional groups participated in the campaign. The following is the list of smart choices from the American Academy of Pediatrics:
1. Antibacterial drugs should not be used for definite viral infectious respiratory diseases (sinusitis, pharyngitis, bronchitis);
2. Cough and cold medicines should not be prescribed or recommended for respiratory diseases of children under 4 years old;
3. CT scanning is not necessary for the immediate evaluation of mild head trauma, and whether imaging examination is needed should be determined according to the Clinical Observation/Pediatric Emergency Nursing Applied Research Network Standard (PECARN).
4. Neuroimaging (CT, MRI) examination is not necessary for simple thermal epilepsy.
5. CT scan is not necessary in the evaluation of routine abdominal pain.
6. Do not use large doses of dexamethasone (0.5 mg/kg/d) to prevent or treat bronchopulmonary dysplasia of premature infants;
7. Do not screen children with no previous relevant medical history for food allergy;
8. Avoid the use of acid inhibitors and gastric motility drugs, such as metoclopramide, to treat physiological gastroesophageal reflux that children can bear, is painless and does not affect growth, and does not give drugs to infants who are called “spitting milk”;
9. Avoid using urine culture to screen and treat asymptomatic bacteriuria;
10. Asphyxia monitors in infant rooms should not be routinely used to prevent sudden infant death syndrome.
After reading the 10 suggestions from the professional association, I will attach 18 suggestions to your daughter from Jim Rogers, founder of your Quantum Fund. The translator is @ Teacher Wang Pei.
1. Always buy high-quality goods, which are not only durable but also of high residual value.
2. Remember to eat before you go shopping. If you are hungry, you will buy back a lot of more food than you need.
3. Avoid anything labeled “must-see”, “must-read”, “must-try”, especially what is popular. Maintain a good upbringing, no matter where you are, no matter who is opposite. This can permanently distinguish you from others. In any society, you should go to the countryside and do as the Romans do.
No matter where you are, you should be on guard against politicians. They are in school and may not be good.
5. Never ask others how much money they earn and how much something is worth. Don’t tell others how much money you bought it. Don’t talk to others about how much money you earn and how much money you are worth. This is a deep-rooted tradition in our family. Since my grandfather’s generation, everyone has followed, because talking about these things is not only conspicuous, but also uneducated, at least for our family. Proving yourself depends on behavior, not money. Nowadays many people like to talk about money, but I don’t want you to do this.
6. If you borrow money, be sure to repay it in advance, at least on time. Good credit is crucial, and bad credit records will haunt you for many years.
7. When you grow up, I will deal with boys. I hope to give you advice and warnings forever. The basic principles of dealing with them are: Remember that what they want of you is far greater than what you want of them. When they are chasing you enthusiastically, They will make thousands of promises. To tell you the truth, I can say such beautiful words better than them. Ignore them directly and be honest with yourself. Use your common sense when hearing absurd promises, flattery and compliments. Don’t follow the boys to transfer schools, move and change jobs. Let them follow you.
8. When you grow up, it is almost no good for you to go to the bar alone. The young masters at the bar know and experience much more than you, and they will bargain from you.
9. Be on guard: Many people who look the same age as your father or grandfather will not regard you as their daughters or granddaughters.
10. Don’t get married until you are 28 years old. Only at this age will you know something about yourself and the world.
11. A very important point: Make a clear distinction between work and life. Don’t eat and drink with your colleagues after work. You will find that bosses never do this, so they are bosses. It is never necessary to drink with bosses, especially when they are alone. Never drink during business lunches. Finally, it is important to avoid office romances. This always ends with personal and professional tragedies.
12. Remember to go to the bathroom before driving a long-distance bus or appearing in public.
13. I can’t learn to type and sew, so I often regret it.
14. Learn mental arithmetic. Although there are calculators everywhere, mental arithmetic will make you more sensitive to numbers and thus discover opportunities that others turn a blind eye to. Mental arithmetic can benefit you for life.
15. Take care of yourself. If a person is not well and has a bad rest, it is difficult to succeed. You know your mother often wears sunscreen on you, and she is right.
16. Be calm when faced with stress and confusion. This allows you to make sober decisions and also allows others to notice your calmness. I often have a hot head, and now I often regret it.
17. Be sure to arrive early when you have an appointment. By doing so, you can not only keep yourself efficient, but also make a good impression, because most people are late and others are late every time.
18. Once you have a clear understanding of yourself, Remember who you are and hold on. Sometimes I get lost, get emotional, or do things I’m not good at. When I look back, I really want to kick myself and be honest with myself. For example, when I invest, I sometimes follow my feelings. I often regret that I didn’t stick to my best territory, whether investing or doing something else.
