On February 11, FM955 Henan News Broadcast "Henan News Network" reported that behind the Beijing Winter Olympics, there are many "heroes" behind the scenes. Henan doctor Wang Fang is one of them. As a team doctor, he practiced skiing for four years and used his technology and speed to protect the mainland Olympic athletes. Listen to the report:
"I followed the team in June and July 2018, and it's been almost four years. At that time, it was a cross-border project that was formed..." Wang Fang, a doctor in the Medical Sports Department of the Third People's Hospital of Henan Province, was selected and dispatched to train with mainland athletes 4 years ago. As a team doctor in snow sports, skiing is a must-have skill. In order to prepare for the Beijing Winter Olympics, Wang Fang took his own skateboard and protective gear, and practiced for 4 years: "I couldn't ski before, like the double black road in foreign countries now, I can slide down casually, and my skiing skills have a very big improvement." When I break through my limits and succeed, it is a very big joy, which is also the main feeling I have when I ski with the team. ”
At this Winter Olympics, Wang Fang served as the team doctor of the freestyle ski obstacle chase national team. This event has one of the highest incidence of injuries at the Winter Olympics, with athletes speeding faster than 90 km/h on The A-Class tracks. If there is an emergency during the training and participation of athletes on the track, the team doctor should rush to the scene within 2-3 minutes, accurately assess, rescue and treat the scene on the spot. Therefore, Wang Fang will also carry a first-aid backpack: "The backpack generally carries these first-aid items that are commonly used, such as neck rests, splints, waist pads, knee pads, and other protective plate supplies." Usually I will stand at the departure platform, the beginning of the project, in that part, if there is an emergency, I will call me on the intercom, and I will be the first to go to that place. ”
As a doctor in Henan, Wang Fang will also use traditional Chinese medicine special therapies to help the team members relax and prevent injuries, and participate in the February 17 freestyle ski obstacle chase event in the best state: "The injuries and illnesses that appeared on the track of our project are some orthopedic diseases, commonly used in the treatment methods of Traditional Chinese medicine, such as orthopedic chiropractic, massage, gua sha cupping in Chinese medicine. Especially when they have muscle strain and are uncomfortable, after doing these treatments of our Chinese medicine, it is very easy. I will also take them to do some of the common exercises that are eight duan jin, not only to make the athlete recover as soon as possible after the injury, but also to prevent him from recurring, to ensure that his body is in a high-level competitive state at any time. ”
Wang Fang has also trained with U-shaped pools, freestyle ski jumps and other projects, and has also intersected with Gu Ailing. Four years of training, the hard work and tenacity of the team members, Wang Fang looked in the eyes. "Check the problem after falling down is not big, pat your ass and then practice" "Winter outdoor training minus 30 or 40 degrees Celsius"... In Wang Fang's view, athletes have long been like his family, he must guard with his heart: "Follow the team, there are doctors standing by, they will be very at ease, to ensure that athletes compete more brilliantly, I want to dedicate all my energy and time with the team." ”
Wang Fang has not returned home for three Spring Festivals, and the child is only 5 months old when he leaves. During this period, he missed his daughter's first shout of "Daddy", the first day of kindergarten... But as a doctor, he said, it was a responsibility, but also a mission: "Following the whole delegation to the opening ceremony of the Bird's Nest, I was so excited that my family kept staring at the screen in front of the TV to find me." 4 years home time is not more than 2, 3 weeks, is very indebted to the family, thanks to their support. When the child grows up, I will tell her that I am really proud to be able to contribute to the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. ”
Speaking of children, Wang Fang said that when the isolation of the event is over, he will come back to teach his children to ski by hand: "I hope that children like this project, taking Gu Ailing as an example, is a challenge to their own guts, turn some impossibilities into possibilities, and break through themselves." ”
