For Zhong, plain speaking becomes meaningful only when it changes diagnosis, treatment, prevention, or public communication. This lesson is about learning when plain speaking deserves to lead and when it has to be balanced by evidence and public health.
This stage is about one pillar at a time. The goal is not definition-memorization but better diagnostic use of plain speaking.
概念定义What this concept really does
