来源:www.cqsgmx.com 2024-10-16

The worried well are everywhere: an estimated one in four GP appointments is now taken up by someone who has absolutely nothing wrong with them.

疑病症病人真是无处不在:据估计,普通门诊预约中有四分之一是被身体毫无异样的人占据的。

The term worried well generally refers to people who are healthy, but fear becoming ill and take medication they don't actually need to try to prevent it. In other words, they do not actually have the disease.

疑病症统指那些身体本身非常健康,但总担忧得病,所以时常服用一些药物防病的人。也就是说,他们其实根本就没病。

For example:

The worried well are using up all the flu vaccines1.

那些疑病症病人都把流感疫苗给用完了。
