30、 we dont want to cause an unfortunate event to happen again,we need to be aware that a worst situation that can be imagined doesnt necessarily mean we did anything wrong.When we overthink,we fail to rely on thinking based on what we know or have experienced.Instead,we mayinvoluntarily overanalyze an

31、d come to the wrong conclusion.I have treated dozens of patients who presented with the same illnesses as my first patient,who died morethan a year ago.Instead of second-guessing myself,I trusted my clinical instinct(本能)and stayed the course.Every one of those patients survived.You should trust your
