With the growth of parents' age, some minor physical problems gradually appear. But my parents have limited knowledge of the Internet, Baidu's medical information is unreliable, and I don't have any doctor friends. So how to help parents find the correct information related to their diseases? After searching on the Internet, I found a very useful resource and recommended it to everyone, that is, Merck's Handbook of Family Diagnosis and Treatment. This manual is also available in the Apple App Store and can be downloaded from Android phones.

To understand this manual, please stamp /zh/. There are not only Chinese professional manuals, Chinese user manuals, but also veterinary manuals, and all of them are free knowledge. This manual was originally the medical notes of pharmacist George Merck, and the first edition was published in 1899. Later, it was revised and reprinted repeatedly and became a reference book for doctor Yamatonokusushi. It was not until 1997 that the popular version began to appear. By 20 16, this manual has been translated into many languages, including Chinese, Japanese and Korean.

There are not only topics about diseases and symptoms, but also first aid topics in the App. Under the column of resources, there are blood test results, common medical tests, tests, medical terms, weights and measures and abbreviations. For laymen who need basic medical information, this is more helpful to have a basic understanding of the disease than the words and remedies on Baidu.

But why is this manual called Merck for a while and Merck for a while? There is a very tortuous separation story. Simply put, both of them originated from a German pharmacy "Angel Pharmacy". After a hundred years of operation, the Merck family turned this pharmacy into a pharmaceutical company. Later, at the end of19th century, George Merck of the Merck family set up a branch in new york. The branch is booming in North America, and gradually becomes its own company from imported medicine. After World War I, Merck of the United States cut off contact with Merck of Germany, and later with Sharp &; Dohome) merged to form Merk Sharp &;; Dohome, also called merk & in America; Co). Merck in Germany has been running a family business, which has been passed down to this day.

But with such a golden signboard, neither side is willing to give up the name Merck. The final compromise result is that Merck can call itself Merck in the United States and Canada, but Merck in Germany can use the name Merck elsewhere. That's why it's called Merck Manual in America, but the Chinese name in the App is Merck Manual.

Who would have thought that searching online would lead to such an interesting business story? This reminds me of the century-old signboard dispute of Dazhaimen Baijia Pharmacy. In any case, opening medical knowledge to the public free of charge is of great significance to the dissemination of public health knowledge. Merck's actions should have won him a lot of goodwill.
