Whether it is a community resident or a white-collar worker in a nearby office building; Whether it is a chronic disease in the elderly or neck, shoulder, back and leg pain, Xie Zhijin, deputy chief physician of the general department of Tianshan Street Community Health Service Center, will always sincerely give patients warm and effective treatment.
Walking into the Lianjian Community located on the street of Tianshan Road, after a narrow aisle and turns, a small courtyard called "Traditional Chinese Medicine Pavilion" appeared in front of you. The creeper winds around the wooden gate, the warm yellow lamp in the courtyard leans on the wooden climbing frame, reflecting the grass and trees on the shelf, and a traditional Chinese medicine culture propaganda wall opposite is quaint, which is the joint community health service station of the Tianshan Street Community Health Service Center.
In the service station, Grandma Xu, who lives in the Lianjian Community, chatted with Xie Zhijin while talking about her recent physical discomfort.
"Dr. Xie, I have been insomnia lately, and I always dream when I fall asleep." When she told Xie Zhijin about her discomfort, Grandma Xu seemed particularly relieved.
After listening to Grandma Xu's words, Xie Zhijin took her pulse, "How is the diet lately?" Is blood pressure and blood sugar high? After taking the pulse, Xie Zhijin inquired about Grandma Xu's daily life, while prescribing a prescription for her to nourish yin and qi, and cooperated with traditional Chinese medicine Tuina techniques for treatment.
There is a response in every sentence, and there is guidance from time to time, which is Grandma Xu's evaluation of Xie Zhijin. "Dr. Tse is usually very busy, but he is always very welcoming to us, and I also enjoy coming to the health post because every time I see Dr. Tse, I feel like family." Having lived in the Lianjian community for nearly 40 years, Grandma Xu said that she has watched the Lianjian Community Health Service Station develop little by little in the past ten years, and she has also established a deep relationship with the doctors at the site.
In addition to community residents, surrounding white-collar workers are also a major service group for the joint construction of community health service stations.
Ms. Zheng, 35, a white-collar worker, suffered from itchy throat cough, cold and cold in the back, and repeated eczema on the joints of her limbs due to her long-term exposure to work in an air-conditioned environment. On the recommendation of her colleagues, Ms. Zheng came to the Lianjian Community Health Service Station and found Dr. Xie Zhijin.
Xie Zhijin combined with Ms. Zheng's physique, gave Du Pulse Moxibustion and "Winter Disease Summer Treatment" dressing, and gave her a month-long TCM treatment in Sanfutian.
"I didn't cough much during this season, the eczema attack area was very small, and it subsided quickly." When she came back for the follow-up consultation, Ms. Zheng said happily to Xie Zhijin.
On the basis of managing the key population in the jurisdiction, intervening in the lifestyle and health status of health and sub-health occupational groups has always been the focus of Xie Zhijin's attention.
"Family doctors serve the whole population, and as a general practitioner with a TCM background, we can also give appropriate health guidance and appropriate techniques of TCM from the aspects of TCM diet, life and living, such as acupuncture, fire pots, patches, tea recipes, etc." To this end, Xie Zhijin launched the family doctor into the building activity through the street party building platform, and launched the "noon medical hour" activity in the white-collar service center in the street, actively promoting the service of TCM diagnosis and treatment and family doctor contracting. Gradually, many white-collar workers went to Lianjian Community Health Service Station.
Time passed in a hurry, and Xie Zhijin has also been rooted in the community for nearly 15 years, with nearly 1,000 signed residents in his hands. Although the work is increasing and the burden is getting heavier, "allowing residents to enjoy convenient TCM services at their doorstep" is still his original intention.
Now, with the efforts of Xie Zhijin and his team, the community health service station is a small hospital full of medicinal fragrance, where chronic kidney disease, arthropathy and other chronic diseases common to the elderly, insomnia, cough, eczema and other symptoms of occupational groups can come here to find suitable and traditional treatment methods, and the health station has also been established as a community health service station with traditional Chinese medicine characteristics in Shanghai this year.
"I hope to relieve their pain and improve their quality of life through Chinese herbal medicine treatments and lifestyle interventions." This is Xie Zhijin's greatest wish.
