All along, medical aid to Xinjiang has been praised by the masses of all ethnic groups as "the most down-to-earth project to aid Xinjiang" and "the most popular project to enhance national unity". On August 26, 2021, Dr. Zou Biao of the Department of Radiology of Shanghai Fifth People's Hospital crossed the Wanshui Mountains to Zepu County as the director of the Imaging Center of Zepu County People's Hospital.
Image examination is sometimes like a police solving a case, it is necessary to find the clues of the "criminal" from countless pictures, coupled with scientific reasoning analysis, and finally draw conclusions. Diagnostic imaging doctors are like the "Sherlock Holmes" of the medical world, solving some difficult puzzles for clinicians layer by layer. In the new project of mammography examination carried out by the Imaging Center of Zepu County People's Hospital, Zou Biao received a Uyghur aunt with breast occupation. Through mammography, he found that the diagnosis of benign and malignant tumors on both sides of the patient was contrary to the auxiliary examination issued by other departments. He immediately contacted the surgeon to remind them of the surgical modalities. The postoperative results confirmed his judgment, so that the patient received the best surgical treatment, reduced the damage, preserved some functions, reduced the cost of treatment, and reduced the financial burden for the Uyghur mother's family.
During his work at the Zepu County People's Hospital, Zou Biao went to the countryside many times to carry out free clinics, and some time ago he followed the Shanghai Xinjiang Aid Medical Team to Shache, Yecheng and other four counties to carry out roving free clinics. There are many patients in each free clinic, and he patiently answers every people of all ethnic groups who come to the consultation, bringing them professional and intimate guidance. At the time of Yecheng's free clinic, a Nearly 70-year-old Uyghur uncle had leg pain for more than ten years, Zou Biao checked his CT photos, and carefully advised him of the seriousness of the disease, and if the lesions of the intervertebral discs could not be treated in time, it would cause him to be unable to walk and need surgery as soon as possible. Uncle heard that the need for surgery, a sense of fear, very worried, Zou Biao patiently explained the necessity and safety of surgery to the uncle, the uncle gradually put down the psychological baggage after listening, gladly said that he would go to the hospital for surgery as soon as possible. Soon after receiving feedback, the uncle went to the hospital for surgery, and less than two weeks after the operation, he was cured and discharged from the hospital, and recovered well.
Uncle Amudong Maimuti, 65 years old, is Zou Biao's family and now lives with his younger son. The uncle has four sons and two daughters, all of whom have started a family. Every time he went to his uncle's house to visit relatives, Zou Biao would bring some daily necessities to the uncle and always care about their lives and physical health. "Our family has cattle and sheep, there are orchards and vegetable fields in front of our homes, there is water and electricity, and there is a warm and comfortable big house to live in, the way out is smooth, medical treatment is guaranteed, children's schooling is also guaranteed, the party and state policies are good, and everyone's life is getting happier and happier." Looking at the uncle's face full of satisfied smiles, his heart was also full of joy.
Zou Biao often said to colleagues in the department: "Here, I feel more about what 'national unity and family affinity' is, and more deeply appreciate the deep affection of all ethnic groups like pomegranate seeds hugging together." As imaging diagnostic doctors, we must integrate this spirit of national unity into our daily work, strive to be another pair of eyes for clinicians, do a good job in reading black and white images behind the scenes, give full play to the pioneering role of imaging in clinical precision medicine and standardized diagnosis and treatment, and cooperate sincerely with clinicians to jointly protect the health of compatriots of all ethnic groups. "From consolidating the achievements of poverty alleviation to rural revitalization, in ordinary medical posts, Zou Biao has been silently bringing his own light and heat to patients, and resolutely does not let a patient become poor due to illness and return to poverty due to illness."
Not every flower is a snow lotus, blooming on the top of a snowy mountain; not every tree is a poplar, standing proudly in the desert Gobi; not everyone has the honor to let their own value bloom in the hot land of Xinjiang. "A road to aid Xinjiang, a lifetime of aid to Xinjiang, love stems from national unity, only release and dedication, can be linked to a life without regrets." Zou Biao said this, and even more so.
