安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导

I was still dreaming and so excited that I could not sleep and had caught cold in the bargain. The natural result of this was a fever. I lay in uncle's house for six weeks, a part of that time in a critical condition. Scottish medicine was then as stern as Scottish theology (both are now much softened), and I was bled. My thin American blood was so depleted that when I was pronounced convalescent it was long before I could stand upon my feet. This illness put an end to my visit, but by the time I had reached America again, the ocean voyage had done me so much good I was able to resume work.

白话

卡内基在苏格兰探亲时兴奋得睡不着,结果着凉发烧,在舅舅家躺了六周,一度病危。当时苏格兰医术和神学一样严厉,医生给他放血,把他本就单薄的血放掉不少,以致康复后很久站不起来,探亲只好中止。但回美国的远洋航行让他恢复得不错,又能上班了。核心是:过度兴奋伤身,而当时“放血”这类严苛疗法反而拖慢恢复。今天看,生病时别硬扛,也别盲从当时当地最“正统”的疗法,要给身体留出真正修复的条件。

上下文

你最近一次因过度兴奋或劳累而病倒,事后调整了什么?
