In the eyes of patients, he is a good doctor with high medical ethics and excellent skills; in the eyes of colleagues, he is a workaholic who only knows how to work but does not know how to rest; in the past 16 years of practicing medicine, he has always adhered to the principle of the heart of the doctor's parents to relieve the pain of patients. He is the 2021 Yulin City Labor Model Winner, the president of Yulin Neck, Shoulder, Waist and Leg Pain Rehabilitation Hospital - Gao Liqiang.
"Uncle Yang, how have you recovered in the past few days?"
"Oops! It doesn't hurt at all! ”
When the reporter saw Gao Liqiang, he was on a video call, and on the other end of the phone was one of his patients, Yang Haicheng, who had recently undergone surgery at the Yulin Neck, Shoulder, Waist and Leg Pain Rehabilitation Hospital because he lived in Wushenqi, Inner Mongolia, and it was inconvenient to come over for a review, and Gao Liqiang learned about the patient's recent situation through WeChat video. Yang Haicheng suffers from a common low back pain disease, which is spondylosis caused by lumbar disc herniation, spinal stenosis compresses the nerves will cause pain in patients, the narrower the spinal canal, the more serious the pain.
"At that time, the pain was so painful that I couldn't stand, I couldn't sit, I couldn't sleep, I felt like a knife was stuck in, boiling water was poured on, and I couldn't stand the pain." Recalling the pain of the illness at that time, Yang Haicheng still remembers it vividly.
Yang Haicheng, who was tormented by pain, came to Yulin Neck, Shoulder, Waist and Leg Pain Rehabilitation Hospital in April this year, and fortunately the chief surgeon happened to be the dean Gao Liqiang. Gao Liqiang's best is minimally invasive spinal endoscopic surgery, which specializes in treating pain patients like him. "At that time, I heard that Gao Liqiang had operated on me, and I was particularly happy, as soon as the operation was done, it didn't hurt, I had to know how bad this disease was, and now it was completely two worlds, Dean Gao was so powerful, I especially thanked him." Across the screen, Yang Haicheng couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
Spinal stenosis and disc herniation are the two most common pain diseases, usually due to aging degeneration, sedentary and poor living habits, the use of minimally invasive spine surgery only requires a small incision of about 0.7 cm in the patient's back, the trauma is small, the recovery is fast, but the operation is difficult, and the doctor's level is extremely high.
"The thickness of the adult spinal canal is similar to the thickness of the adult's index finger, and the spinal canal is similar to the thickness of the chopsticks after spinal stenosis, so it is more difficult to establish a channel, and the hand, eye, and foot must be coordinated when the spine is minimally invasive, and it must be studied for a long time to reach the point where it can be skillful." Gao Liqiang, president of Yulin Neck, Shoulder, Waist and Leg Pain Rehabilitation Hospital, said.
In order to alleviate the pain of patients, Gao Liqiang founded the first pain specialist hospital in Yulin In 2007 - Jingbian Neck, Shoulder, Waist and Leg Pain Hospital, and in 2010, he established the Yulin Neck, Shoulder, Waist and Leg Pain Rehabilitation Hospital, which not only filled the gap in regional pain medical specialties, but also was the first hospital in the city to carry out spinal endoscopic minimally invasive surgery. Under the leadership of Gao Liqiang, the hospital can independently carry out a variety of difficult minimally invasive spinal surgeries such as nucleus pulposus removal and spinal fusion and fixation. In recent years, the two hospitals have carried out more than 2,000 cases of minimally invasive operations on the spine every year, and the hospital has also built a platform for poverty alleviation and medical assistance, and has reduced medical expenses for patients in difficulty by more than 7 million yuan. Nowadays, Gao Liqiang has long been accustomed to taking the solution of patient pain as a daily "compulsory course" and leading the team to serve patients with dedication.
"I often tell my team of doctors that we must treat patients like our own relatives, not only must we be technically proficient, but also have to keep up with the service, and what we pursue is long-term efficacy, reducing the recurrence rate of pain patients, minimizing patients' pain, and improving the quality of life of patients, which is also the goal we pursue." Gao Liqiang, president of Yulin Neck, Shoulder, Waist and Leg Pain Rehabilitation Hospital, said firmly. (Author: Zhang Yu, Cui Ruini, Liu Hong)
