Preface
It was an early winter evening, and Liu Qiang was on duty at the hospital.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man ran into the emergency room, followed by a woman who couldn't stop crying.
Dr. Liu immediately stepped forward to inquire about the situation.
It turned out that the man's surname was Zhang, and he always felt cough and chest tightness recently, and his symptoms worsened tonight, and his wife was afraid that something would happen, so she hurriedly sent him to the hospital.
Dr. Lau calmed them down and performed a series of tests on Mr. Zhang.
The results came out and Mr. Zhang was diagnosed with mid-stage lung cancer.
Upon hearing the news, his wife, Ms. Li, burst into tears.
"Doctor, is there really no way? My husband is only 45 years old, and we are still counting on him to earn money to support the family......
Dr. Liu inquired and learned that Mr. Zhang was a construction worker who usually had a lot of work pressure, so he developed the habit of smoking in order to relieve the pressure.
Especially at night before going to bed, the craving for smoking is particularly great, and I smoke one pack after another.
Dr. Liu sighed and patiently explained to them: "Smoking is the number one culprit of lung cancer.
Cigarettes contain more than 4,000 chemicals, including at least 250 harmful substances and 69 carcinogens.
These toxic substances can damage the respiratory tract, irritate the bronchial mucosa, lead to chronic inflammation, and eventually induce lung cancer. "
"Mr. Zhang's tumor is currently about 3 centimeters in size, and although lymphatic metastasis has occurred, it has not metastasized far away.
However, from now on, we must completely quit smoking, cooperate with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and pay attention to nutrition, exercise, etc., to improve immunity, and we will work together to defeat the disease!"
Dr. Liu's words of encouragement rekindled the hope of Mr. and Mrs. Zhang.
Mr. Cheung was determined to quit his decades-long addiction to cigarettes and actively cooperated with the treatment.
After six months of fighting, his tumor has shrunk a lot and his symptoms have improved significantly.
Although it is not yet possible to say that it has fully recovered, it is undoubtedly a solid step towards a bright future.
Through Mr. Zhang's story, Dr. Liu sincerely sighed that the culprits of many diseases are actually hidden in our daily habits.
Smoking, staying up late, eating and drinking poorly...... All kinds of unhealthy lifestyles are threatening our health all the time.
As a doctor, in addition to doing our best to treat diseases and save people, it is more important to raise the health awareness of the whole people, encourage people to start from small things, cultivate a healthy and civilized lifestyle, and prevention is better than cure.
Only when everyone has mastered a certain amount of medical knowledge and learned to take care of the health of themselves and their families, can the occurrence of diseases be fundamentally reduced.
Health is a responsibility that requires the participation of individuals, families and society.
Respect life, stay away from tobacco, let us work together to build a smoke-free home, defend the health rights and interests of ourselves and our loved ones with practical actions, and jointly paint a better tomorrow!
