They marched backwards in white armor
They're battling disease and a race against time
They lift up the hope of life with their mortal bodies
Their name is: Doctor
August 19
It is the fifth Chinese Doctors' Day
Listen to their stories together
Emergency Doctor: This is the "battlefield"
At 4 a.m., Qi Xuan, an emergency department doctor at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, was preparing to hand over shifts with colleagues. This night, there was no rescue of critical patients, and she was relieved.
In Qi Xuan's eyes, the emergency room was like a battlefield, full of unpredictability. "You never know how the next patient will appear" and when the "battle" starts, the harsh reality will come at any time. Once, a father lost his beloved daughter bitterly, and many years later, this scene still made Qi Xuan unforgettable. The father and daughter came to the hospital together, and as a result, the daughter died due to ineffective rescue, which became a thin "death certificate" in the father's hand.
"We made so much effort, why didn't we keep her?" In the face of such a parting of life and death, Qi Xuan would sometimes be very sad and helpless, asking himself this over and over again. But she never allowed herself to bring such emotions to work, because there were still many patients waiting for her in the emergency room, and time did not allow them to stay for a moment.
Child Anesthesiologist: Being a "Spokesperson" for Children
At 12:30 p.m., in the operating room of the Children's Hospital affiliated to the Capital Institute of Pediatrics, a heart operation that lasted more than three hours was still in progress. Every change in the child's signs touched the heart of Pan Shoudong, chief doctor of the anesthesia department at the operating table.
Many people think that the anesthesiologist is as simple as giving the child an injection before the operation, and Dr. Pan, who deals with the child every day, explains that this is not the case. For anesthesiologists, the anesthesia process of surgery is comparable to operating an airplane. Preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative correspond to the three stages of aircraft take-off, flight and landing, which require the doctor to constantly change the state, and the must not be relaxed. Pediatric anesthesia requires more of a process, including the precision with which doctors control medication and targeted humanistic care. From the waiting area to the operating room to the child waking up and entering the anesthesia recovery room, the anesthesiologist has always been there, they are like the "spokesperson" of the child, they need to judge the child's state through various indicators at all times, and do their best to make these children who have to bear the pain of surgery at a young age have no pain and no fear.
Ophthalmologist: My eyes are all the eyes of patients
At 3:30 p.m., Dr. Wei Wenbin, chief specialist of fundus disease at Beijing Tongren Hospital, finished the day's outpatient clinic and prepared to eat lunch. After 36 years of practicing medicine, Wei Wenbin has deeply engraved the images of the patients' eyes in his heart. He said that the ophthalmologist's eyes are the eyes of the patient, and it is this pair of eyes that guides him to continue to move forward to overcome difficulties.
In the past, the outbreak of intraocular bleeding during cataract surgery was called "the disaster of ophthalmologists and patients". Unfortunately, as the attending physician, he also experienced such a disaster. After the operation, the patient comforted him and asked him to pay more attention to and study this kind of condition, which touched Dr. Wei a lot. Later, Dr. Wei studied overseas, found new surgical methods step by step, and boldly practiced after returning to China, solving this domestic ophthalmic problem. Dr. Wei said he was particularly excited because he had finally finished the homework left to him by the patient. Now, a cataract surgery can be completed in 5 minutes, and the success rate is extremely high.
"Retaining light and hope for patients" is Wei Wenbin's pursuit and goal that has not changed since he joined the doctor, and he sees hope and surprise in a pair of double bright eyes, which further prompts him to continue to move forward and find light for more patients with eye diseases.
