"Dad, are you going on a business trip again?" Seeing the child's unwilling eyes and his wife's eyes full of expectation, Wang Jie could only nod, turn around and pick up the child, and then hand it to his wife's arms, pretending not to see the tears in the child's eyes, withstanding the drizzle of late autumn, driving the car away. As a father of two children, he wanted to be able to accompany them at home, but responsibility and mission told him that there were more important things that had to be done.
This year is the second year to follow Professor Xia Tingyi under the grassroots, the most advanced precision radiotherapy technology to benefit more grassroots people, is the most effective way to solve the problem of difficult to see a doctor, high cost, imbalance in medical resources, Wang Jie knows that the cause of radiotherapy is one step closer.
Wang Jie is a precision radiotherapy technician. It took 120 years for radiation therapy to reach the stage of precision radiotherapy, and 70% of patients with malignant tumors require the participation of precision radiotherapy at different stages of their treatment. Precision radiotherapy is a very complex process, from radiotherapy equipment, the use of technology and professional teams need to work the word fine, from the beginning of the acquisition of images, to the end of the treatment, the whole process involves many links. How to ensure that no errors occur in each link, or that errors can be corrected in time, which is very important. Radiation oncology technicians are undoubtedly responsible for the entire radiation therapy process, but in the treatment of cancer patients, the physicist is this special group, they and radiation therapy technicians work closely together to escort the treatment of cancer patients, and jointly protect the health of patients. Physicists are very, very important members of radiation therapy for tumors, and their role in ensuring radiation safety, improving the level of treatment technology, and providing high-quality services to patients is becoming increasingly important. It is no exaggeration to say that without a physicist, radiation therapy cannot be carried out.
Wang Jie's job is to deal with various colorful target lines and dose lines every day, cut lines every day in the face of computer screens, and make radiotherapy plans. Seemingly simple work, may take a short period of 3-4 hours, long takes 2-3 days, using different design ideas, to repeatedly adjust the field angle, field weight, number of sub-fields, objective function and other parameters, in order to achieve the ultimate goal of radiotherapy: so that the radiotherapy target area is subjected to the maximum dose of irradiation, and minimize the amount of radiation around the normal tissue. Such a work, he has been doing for 16 years, in order to give the most accurate radiotherapy plan for the first time, he missed his wife's second birth, the birth of the youngest son was not accompanied by his father, mentioning this matter, Wang Jie always had regrets, but firmly said that in order to give patients the best radiotherapy plan, missed nothing.
He can still remember his experience of studying medicine more than twenty years ago: visiting the medical school, seeing many very handsome senior students, wearing white 'trench coats', hurrying around the campus, there is an inexplicable excitement. Later, after I enrolled in school, I realized that the 'windbreaker' in my eyes was a white coat, and every medical student enrolled in the school, a necessary piece of equipment, will not be taken off again. After graduating from the medical university, he engaged in imaging radiology, engaged in imaging diagnosis in the department of radiology, and became familiar with the clinical application of imaging technology. In the recruitment of professionals recruited by the PLA Hospital, he came to the Beijing PLA Military Hospital to engage in tumor radiotherapy technology work, and successively studied in the Radiotherapy Department of Union Hospital and the Radiotherapy Department of Cancer Hospital, and constantly improved his technology and deepened the depth of professional technology in professional learning.
In March 2009, he met the career leader Professor Xia Tingyi, when Professor Xia was the director of the Radiotherapy Department of the Air Force General Hospital, he had heard that Professor Xia was promoted to the director of the Radiotherapy Department by the Air Force at the age of 38, and was leading the team to undergo earth-shaking changes, which was unique in the radiotherapy industry, Wang Jie also believed that the advanced nature of radiotherapy was not only the progress of medical equipment, but also the innovation and progress of the dosage model, because of the development of Professor Xia's precision radiotherapy, the dose mode change, very resonant, and determined to follow Professor Xia , began the arduous task of making radiotherapy great.
After following Professor Xia to set up the Beijing Huaxia Fine Release Team for 2 years, they realized that it is the limit of the development of radiotherapy that really makes radiotherapy unable to benefit more people, working in Beijing Top 3 Hospital, many grassroots people, even to accept professional oncology diagnosis and treatment opinions are very difficult, not to mention enjoying the diagnosis and treatment of advanced radiotherapy technology. As a result, he went to various places to carry out tumor radiotherapy work, and the countryside and communities became the new position mission of Wang Jie's work. Since then, the number of times I have come home in a month has been even less, and the time to see the children is even more limited, and even after three months of grassroots work, the younger son can't recognize his father when he returns home, and the eldest son cries and says, This is the father. Dad's companionship is limited, but their dad is for the grassroots people to enjoy the best radiation medical treatment, with their own body, for tens of millions of dads to escort their children. Wang Jie said that following the banner of letting radiotherapy technology benefit the grass-roots people, no matter how difficult it is, it is also necessary to move forward.
The development of precision radiotherapy is the precise application of team cooperation, led by Professor Xia, the whole team according to the patient's personal situation, taking into account the patient's professional and technical requirements and patient comfort, the most appropriate position fixation method is adopted, so that the patient can achieve the best effect in the whole radiation therapy process. Before the treatment, the use of image guidance technology, so that Professor Xia's dose model to achieve accurate implementation, Wang Jie engaged in the work is fine and complex, requiring a high degree of responsibility and concentration, "Whenever I see patients with the cooperation of our team, to achieve the efficacy that they did not dare to expect, very happy, this satisfaction is unparalleled." When it comes to the treatment effect, 39-year-old Wang Jie can always show a childlike smile, which must be the smile of an angel of medical workers.
It is the silent dedication of countless precision radiotherapy physicists that makes it difficult to see a doctor caused by the imbalance of medical resources, and can gradually change the people's view of private hospitals, they better ensure the effectiveness, safety and controllability of the radiotherapy plan, serve more people, and make precision radiotherapy great.
