Warm news| after 95 doctors insist on donating 4400 ml of blood for 3 years

Red Net Moment, January 21 (Correspondent Cao Yifei) It is easy to donate blood, but it is rare to insist on donating blood regularly. A few days ago, in the machine collection hall of the blood station in the center of Chenzhou, Li Chao, a post-95 cardiovascular physician, came to donate platelets to donate the machine after half a month. According to statistics, he donated blood 11 times in 3 years, which is equivalent to donating 4400 ml of whole blood.

Born in 1996, Li Chao, who became a medical student after the college entrance examination, recalls the first blood donation, and he still remembers it vividly. "When we went to school, there was a blood donation truck parked under the dormitory all year round, and I thought it was a very honorable thing to donate blood." After learning the significance and importance of blood donation, he decided to join the ranks of unpaid blood donation, and as soon as the interval came, he would come to the blood station to participate in the blood donation.

Li Chao is donating machine platelets.

If the first blood donation gave Li Chao a preliminary understanding of unpaid blood donation, the subsequent events made him understand the profound meaning behind unpaid blood donation.

During his junior year, Li Chao was assigned to the hematology department for an apprenticeship, during which he often faced life and death. Most of the hospitalized patients in the hematology department are severely ill, of which leukemia patients account for the majority, and what they lack most is platelets. "Some patients have the conditions to be treated, but it is a pity that the lack of platelets in their cities has led to delays in treatment, thus missing the best treatment time." Li Chao said that due to the lack of publicity on platelet donation, many people do not understand platelet donation. "Donating platelets can help more people."

Watching patients suffer greatly due to complications such as severe anemia and low thrombocytopenia causing bleeding, as a doctor, Li Chao felt that what he could do about it was very limited. "It was really hard to feel at that time, and I wanted to do everything I could to help them alleviate their pain." What he saw and heard during his clinical work made Li Chao more firm in his belief in donating platelets, and even if his family had some worries, he had no remorse.

Platelet donation generally takes 1-2 hours, which is longer than ordinary blood donation. Many times he has used his rest time to spend most of the day donating platelets, hoping to send hope to patients who are in urgent need of blood transfusion treatment. "As a doctor, I am well aware of the importance of blood for clinical treatment, not to mention that there is currently no blood substitute to completely replace human blood." Li Chao said: "I will continue to persevere, always ready to provide blood to patients, always in a critical moment." ”

At work, Li Chao treats diseases for patients and relieves pain; Outside of work, he donated his blood to give his patients hope for life. He said: "As long as the quality of the blood is qualified, I will continue to donate." ”
