Rip the band-aid off：it is an idiomatic expression that means to deal with a difficult or unpleasant situation directly and quickly, without hesitation or delay, even though it might cause discomfort or pain in the short term. The phrase draws a parallel to quickly removing a band-aid, which can cause a brief moment of discomfort but is done swiftly to avoid prolonging the discomfort. （撕下创可贴，迅速采取让人难过的行动或应对方案，喻：撕下保护人身体及心灵创伤的覆盖物）
