In 1948, despite his wife's opposition, he used a knife to cut the back of his daughter, who had just been born for 3 days, and watched his daughter dying and his wife paralyzed to the ground.
This was something that I couldn't think of at the time, and there was no purpose to become famous and profit-seeking, Zhang Jinzhe just looked at his daughter crying, and he couldn't bear it.
She had only been in this world for three days, and she had not yet seen the scenery properly, and it would be a pity to lose her fragile life due to an acute purulent infection of the subcutaneous tissue.
As a doctor in the field of pediatrics, he is duty-bound, and from his father's point of view, he has no reason to regress.
The wife's distressed tears fell straight down, and there was no better way, this disease came rapidly, mostly in newborns, and the mortality rate was extremely high.
These problems are the field of Zhang Jinzhe's research, and some of them are too risky for him to try, but there is really no better choice when he is in a desperate situation.
He wants to operate on his daughter, who was only three days old! Naturally, his wife is strongly opposed, and the risks of surgery are inevitable, not to mention that the child is still so young.
But where is the way to survive? Most people are looking for this answer, and the speed of bacterial infection does not give Zhang Jinzhe and them time to react.
Zhang Jinzhe still took the lead in taking this step, lying on the operating table is his own daughter, once he fails, the torture in his heart for the rest of his life will not last for a few years.
Of course, he will be nervous, but the scalpel he is holding must be fast, accurate, and ruthless, and there can be no hesitation, Zhang Jinzhe cut his daughter's back with a knife.
The infected subcutaneous tissue had to be removed, and the knife was undoubtedly cutting his own flesh, but the process of surgery did not slow down in any way.
Father's love is like a mountain is the most speechless, Zhang Jinzhe knows the fear and expectation in his wife's heart, he can't say anything, he can only wait for the final result.
The sweat on his forehead was wiped and wiped, and the incision of the scalpel was accurate, and Zhang Jinzhe at this time could be said to be unsure of the result.
After all, it was a bold attempt, and the medical conditions at that time were very scarce, and everyone's hearts were tightly pinched together.
The operation was successfully completed, but Zhang Jinzhe did not dare to relax his mind, the real test has just begun, the newborn skin is delicate, the immunity is already low, after this time the bacteria are menacing, the body system is more sensitive to the perception of the outside world, and the slightest mistake is to abandon the previous efforts.
His daughter's short breath and weak moaning sounded to Zhang Jinzhe as hope to live, and slowly, his breathing became long and powerful, and there was hope for wound healing.
The daughter gradually recovered under the careful care of Zhang Jinzhe and his wife, and this special case soon spread in the field of pediatric surgery.
"Infantile subcutaneous gangrene" was named, media reports and regular expert meetings poured in, and Zhang Jinzhe's reputation became more and more famous, but these were not his goals, but the cure of patients was.
The more people who understand the crux of the meeting, the newborns in the world will have one more chance to survive, and even save the lives of tens of millions of babies in China.
Zhang Jinzhe is also the doctor who will warm the stethoscope and put it on the patient's chest, and his pocket is the children's favorite "treasure chest".
Watching the patient be discharged from the hospital healthily and his daughter grow up safely, Zhang Jinzhe feels a great responsibility, and it is his duty to do more for the children.
In this way, he gradually became the founder of pediatric surgery in China, and his reputation grew day by day, but he never forgot the operation he performed on his daughter.
The double pressure of body and mind kept him nervous during the operation, and this habit has accompanied him all his life.
On December 24, 2022, Academician Zhang Jinzhe bid farewell to the world he once loved and passed away at the age of 102, which is of course his blessing.
