As the saying goes, people are iron, rice is steel, and only "eating Ma Ma Xiang" can be healthy. If the digestive system is the "supply line" that sustains life, then the gastroenterologist is the "guardian" of this "supply line". Hu Jinglan, director of the Department of Gastroenterology of the Central Hospital, has been deeply involved in the diagnosis and treatment of digestive diseases for 26 years, and has been committed to protecting the digestive health of the people.
"This medicine can be taken for about 10 days, and the time should not be too long. Anti-inflammatory drugs should be taken after meals...... "At 12:20 on April 15, in the gastrointestinal medicine clinic of Zhumadian Central Hospital, Hu Jinglan was busy.
Hu Jinglan sits in the outpatient clinic, which is a well-known "love towing hall", and almost every morning consultation time is delayed until about 12:30 to 13:00. Her clinic is very busy, and many patients come to her, but she does not try to compress the time she spends on seeing patients, but is extremely patient with each patient. For patients with mild symptoms, Hu Jinglan repeatedly told them not to take it lightly, to pay attention to their diet, not to be greedy, and to review on time. For patients who need further examination, she always carefully prescribes examination items, explains the possible results, and proposes a diagnosis and treatment plan.
Gastroenterology covers a wide range of areas, involving various parts of the digestive system such as esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, hepatobiliary pancreas, etc., and even some seemingly unrelated other systemic diseases may also be manifested by digestive system symptoms, resulting in a wide variety of diseases and challenging diagnosis. Taking abdominal pain as an example, its causes may be acute and chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, pancreatitis, cholecystitis, cholelithiasis, intestinal obstruction and other digestive diseases, as well as ectopic pregnancy, myocardial infarction, aortic dissection, ureteral stones, herpes zoster and other cross-system diseases.
"The level of diagnosis is an important criterion for the quality of a gastroenterologist. Other systemic symptoms may not be typical in gastroenterology patients, and doctors must communicate with patients more often to ensure a correct diagnosis. Hu Jinglan said that this is very similar to the police solving a case, and they must be good at finding out the key points of diagnosing diseases from the clues.
"Dr. Hu, after taking the medicine you prescribed, I feel much better!" said Aunt Liu, who was returning to the hospital, excitedly. She suffered from intractable constipation for a long time, relied on laxatives and was afraid of colonoscopy. Hearing that Director Hu Jinglan had superb medical skills, Aunt Liu finally mustered up the courage and came to ask for help with years of unspeakable secrets. Hu Jinglan explained to her in plain language: "Constipation is not a trivial matter, and random medication may cause colorectal melanosis." Once early warning symptoms appear, colonoscopy and other examinations must be carried out in time to rule out organic lesions, and there can be no delay. Under Hu Jinglan's patient persuasion, Aunt Liu dispelled her worries and immediately followed the doctor's instructions for an examination. When the results were released, Hu Jinglan carefully customized the treatment plan for Aunt Liu's specific condition. In just one month, Aunt Liu's constipation symptoms have improved significantly, and her quality of life has been greatly improved.
Conscientiousness: the duty of a doctor
Hu Jinglan's daily routine is to go deep into the gastroenterology ward, patiently ask each critically ill patient one by one, and record the changes in his condition in detail. For patients with complex conditions and tortuous course of disease, she pays close attention around the clock, makes frequent ward rounds, adjusts the diagnosis and treatment plan in a timely manner, and tries her best to help them break free from the shackles of the disease, so that countless families can see the light of day again in the haze of the disease.
"Director Hu often comforts and encourages me, and I praise her for strengthening my belief in treatment. "She gave me a sense of security, and her treatment gave me more confidence to overcome the disease." ”
Most of the patients in the Department of Gastroenterology are chronically ill, and although most of them are not life-threatening, they suffer from long-term pain and physical and mental exhaustion. Patients who encounter some health problems in their daily lives will also seek help from Hu Jinglan. These questions are very trivial, including what to do if you have a fever and a cold, what medicine to bring when traveling, how to use medicine for diarrhea, etc. Every time, Hu Jinglan took the trouble to answer every patient's question.
In addition, Hu Jinglan also shoulders a large number of in-hospital consultation work. In the face of each case, she regarded it as an incurable disease, and personally asked for medical history, carefully examined the body, and studied the medical records, striving to peel back the cocoon and reveal the cause. This dedication has won the high trust and praise of colleagues. Hu Jinglan said frankly: "It is the duty of doctors to save lives and help the wounded, and I am deeply happy to be able to solve problems for patients. ”
Inheritance: The mission of the healer
Looking back on the 26 years of being a doctor, Hu Jinglan is very emotional. After graduating from Xinxiang Medical College in 1998, he has been engaged in clinical work. From a fledgling resident physician to a highly respected chief physician, Hu Jinglan's persistent search for medical truth has enriched her professional knowledge like a sponge absorbing water, and her professional skills have become more and more perfect. He is especially good at dealing with complex diseases such as gastrointestinal hemorrhage, acute and chronic abdominal pain, diarrhea, ascites effusion, early cancer of the digestive tract, refractory Helicobacter pylori infection, inflammatory bowel disease, decompensated liver cirrhosis, and acute severe pancreatitis.
For every medical worker, the phrase "sometimes to cure, often to help, always to comfort" is both sacred and simple, Hu Jinglan has always engraved it in his heart, and practiced the original intention of the doctor with practical actions, not only committed to the treatment of diseases, but also paid more attention to giving patients warm help and affectionate comfort. Her professionalism and humanistic care have created a shining path of struggle for doctors.
