"It's okay for me to work a little harder, his financial burden can be lighter." The person who said this sentence was Xu Zuhao, a doctor in the intervention team of the Department of Encephalopathy.

The story begins on April 16. At 17:40 on the same day, the emergency department of the Second Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Guangdong Province received a call for assistance. On the phone, a friend of the patient He Cheng said urgently: "His left limb is weak and he can't walk." ”

After receiving the call, Zhou Min, an emergency department doctor at the Second Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Guangdong Province, immediately went to the patient's place of residence, and at the scene, he judged that the patient was an acute ischemic stroke and must be treated with intravenous thrombolysis immediately.

At 18:30, the patient arrived at the emergency department of the hospital, but there was no family member to sign the surgical consent form at the scene, the patient did not have Guangzhou medical insurance, the cost of thrombolytic drugs and interventional surgery was more expensive, and He Cheng was hesitant to treat for a while.

"He is only 23 years old, very young, still the main labor force of the family, or try to treat." After obtaining the informed consent of the family, the emergency department of the hospital decided why intravenous thrombolysis was carried out in accordance with the principle of "saving people first", and at the same time asked the intervention team of the Department of Encephalopathy to consult.

After receiving the consultation call, Xu Zuhao rushed from home to the hospital in less than 10 minutes, and then called He Cheng's parents to inform him of the necessity and benefits of the current interventional vascular recanalization treatment. After obtaining the consent of He Cheng's family, Xu Zuhao immediately admitted him to the hospital and formulated the most effective and economical treatment plan.

At 20:50, the interventional embolic therapy was urgently initiated; at 21:30, the puncture was successful; at 22:15, the blood vessel was re-opened, and it took only 45 minutes for the doctor to complete the treatment. After the operation, He Cheng's left limb returned to normal activities and has been successfully discharged from the hospital.

"The 3,000 yuan vascular blocker was too expensive, and I didn't think about it so much at the time, so I started to help him press it. Xu Zuhao told reporters that if patients do have financial difficulties, doctors still have to find ways to save lives, after all, money can be found, but people are gone, nothing is gone.
