At 9 o'clock in the morning, in the special needs outpatient clinic of Shanghai Guanghua Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, President Xiao Lianbo was consulting patients. As the leader of the joint surgery department of Guanghua Hospital, outpatient and surgery are still his most important work.
Inquiring about the condition, checking the cases, and examining the patient, Xiao Lianbo was engrossed in every detail, while the reporter's eyes fell on his right hand, which was covered with adhesive tape. Where the tape can't be covered, obvious wounds are still exposed.
As a joint surgeon, Xiao Lianbo often performs five or six surgeries a day, and sometimes has two or three, and has to brush his hands repeatedly with disinfectant before each operation, so that his hands are easy to break, and the wound comes from this. Sticking adhesive tape will make it easier to work in ordinary times.
But it is also such a pair of "scarred" hands that have allowed countless patients with severe deformities due to joint pain to stand up again, and countless patients who can only lie in bed and be cared for have returned to normal life. Patient Xiao Chen is one of them.
Xiao Chen is a patient with ankylosing spondylitis and hip destruction, because of the disease, he is "disabled" and cannot walk, has no job and income, and suffers from both mental and physical torture.
After being introduced by a friend, Xiao Chen came to Guanghua Hospital and found Xiao Lianbo. At this time, Xiao Chen, who was sitting in a wheelchair, had a gloomy face, and his eyes were full of helplessness.
In order to help Xiao Chen get out of his predicament, Xiao Lianbo led multidisciplinary experts from the Department of Rheumatology, Anesthesiology, Nursing and Rehabilitation to perform a total hip replacement for him after several rounds of consultation.
In response to ankylosing spondylitis combined with acetabular defect, Xiao Lianbo told Xiao Chen that the doctor will start with perioperative drug adjustment, anesthesia positioning, flexible bronchoscopy-assisted intubation, intraoperative bone defect treatment, perioperative pain, blood management and early postoperative rehabilitation.
Soon, under Xiao Lianbo's main knife, Xiao Chen's operation was very successful, and the postoperative recovery was also very smooth, and in less than 3 months, he was able to walk on his own without crutches. Later, in order to prevent Xiao Chen's other joints from being deformed, the doctor used biological agents to greatly alleviate the course of his disease.
Today, Xiao Chen runs a shop on his own, and business is booming. Not long ago, he sent a family photo to Xiao Lianbo, looking at Xiao Chen's face full of confidence with his family, Xiao Lianbo was very pleased.
"Suffering from illness, they returned to work and society, got rid of the label of 'burden', and became the support of their families, which is the meaning of our work. Xiao Lianbo said.
