On June 16, 2021, Dr. Dou Lianwei of the Department of Neurology of Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital set off with the Luyu Health Cooperation Yantai Branch Medical Team to Wushan, Chongqing, to support the Wushan County People's Hospital.
Due to the outstanding work achievements, the fifth batch of yantai medical teams were rated as excellent in the special assessment of Luyu cooperation in Wushan County, and Dou Lianwei was awarded the "Advanced Individual of Luyu Health Cooperation" by the Wushan County Health Commission and the "Advanced Individual of Luyu Health Cooperation" by the Chongqing Municipal Health Commission.

Thousand Miles of Support is both a responsibility and a mission"This is our duty and mission as a doctor, and when I made a request for support to the hospital, the section chief and leaders still agreed to send me to Wushan for support work despite the shortage of staff in the department." When the reporter asked Dou Lianwei why he chose to support Wushan, he replied.
The total distance between Wushan in Chongqing and Yantai in Shandong is about 1642.36 kilometers, and the lack of doctors and important treatment facilities has brought many inconveniences to the people of Wushan, and many diseases that could have been cured and alleviated have not received enough attention and treatment, which has long endangered the health of the masses. After learning about the situation, Dou Lianwei strengthened his determination to support the Wushan County People's Hospital, because he felt that this was his responsibility and mission as a doctor.
After coming to Wushan, Dou Lianwei and his team helped Wushan County People's Hospital improve the treatment process and standardized diagnosis and treatment of acute ischemic stroke through the whole process management and process optimization of multiple cases, and strengthened the accurate identification of high-risk patients. Dou Lianwei said that what impressed him most was a 74-year-old elderly woman who could not move his left limb to the hospital due to sudden unconsciousness, they gave her a bolt removal operation and comprehensive management of the postoperative ICU, and after a period of treatment, the elderly could already be supported and walked when discharged. He said that the moment he saw that the old man could walk, he truly felt the value of coming here.

It is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish"Blood transfusion" is not as good as "hematopoiesis" and "it is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish". After working for a period of time, Dou Lianwei found that relying on individuals alone, after all, limited ability, must give full play to their professional strengths and leave their skills behind in order to truly escort the health of the people of Wushan. To this end, Dou Lianwei combined with the actual situation of Wushan County People's Hospital, gave in-hospital and intra-department lectures, and taught the concept of interventional treatment of ischemic stroke, especially the treatment of large vascular occlusion embolism, carotid stents, intracranial stents and the progress of treatment at home and abroad. In the surgical work, he teaches and explains the standardized operation of cerebral angiography surgery, and teaches the surgical operation skills of difficult cases to hospital doctors.
"Stent embolic therapy is the most urgently needed technology in Wushan County People's Hospital at present, and this type of surgery has not been carried out before." Dou Lianwei said that for this reason, after they came to Wushan Branch Hospital, they successively carried out more than 20 cases of cerebral angiography and 6 cases of stenting and embolization treatment for stroke patients with large vascular occlusion, filling the technical gap of Wushan County People's Hospital.

During the thrombotic operation, Dou Lianwei and his team taught the specific operation process and precautions of local doctors, demonstrated in detail the use of catheters, intermediate catheters, suction catheters, micro-guide wires, micro-catheters, and thrombosts, improved the prognosis of patients and also led to the improvement of the technical level of Wushan County People's Hospital, so that the advanced medical technology and management concepts of Yuhuangding Hospital took root in Wushan County Hospital and benefited the people of Wushan.
Difficulties and obstacles still forge ahead"At present, the population distribution of Wushan County is relatively scattered, two-thirds of the population is distributed in mountainous areas, it is very inconvenient to seek medical treatment, and the rural areas are mostly left-behind elderly people, and their health awareness is poor, and they cannot seek medical treatment in time after getting sick, which delays the disease." Dou Lianwei said. Due to a series of factors such as the geographical location and inconvenient transportation of Wushan County, there are not a few patients with "small illnesses, major illnesses, and serious illnesses". Some people have relatively poor health awareness, and they know even less about stroke. Therefore, on the day of "World Stroke Day", Dou Lianwei and his team held free clinics and publicity activities together to explain the knowledge of stroke diseases to the people of Wushan County, improve the awareness of stroke prevention among the broad masses of the people, and timely discover the early symptoms of stroke in order to get standardized treatment.

After a period of understanding, the team members found that the multidisciplinary collaboration in Wushan County People's Hospital still needs to be strengthened, the green channel for emergency stroke needs to be optimized, and the multi-mode imaging examination of stroke has not yet been carried out. In addition, there is a general shortage of personnel in various departments, resulting in delays in stroke treatment, and due to insufficient personnel, doctors in Wushan County People's Hospital lack the opportunity to study and study, resulting in their skills being far from enough. According to these conditions, the members of the medical team immediately carried out training and learning, and used their knowledge to help various departments diagnose and treat difficult cases.
It is reported that during the period of supporting Wushan, the doctors of Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital have helped the neurology department of Wushan County People's Hospital to diagnose and treat difficult and rare diseases such as "optic nerve myelitis spectrum disease", "myasthenia gravis", "multi-system atrophy", "mitochondrial cerebromyopathy", "motor neuron disease", "stroke caused by infectious endocarditis", etc. In the future, Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital will continue to carry out a series of work such as assisting Wushan.
