The woman was rejected by many hospitals and could only wait for death, and his family members burst into tears with his sentence of "I can cure it".
On the line between life and death, the saving act of a kind doctor
A thrilling rescue operation was staged at Xuanwu Hospital in Beijing. Professor Zhang Yi, Director of Thoracic Surgery, took over a critically ill thymoma patient - Zhang Hua from Hebei.
Just a few months ago, the 41-year-old rural woman was worried about her college daughter, but now she is in a race against death. A malignant tumor of 20 centimeters in size has penetrated deep into the chest cavity, compressing the heart and lungs, and is at risk of dying at any time. What is heart-wrenching is that in the long three years that Zhang Hua's family has sought medical treatment everywhere to no avail, no hospital has been willing to take over this seemingly desperate case.
Just when the family was desperately preparing to say their final goodbyes, Director Zhang Yi took over the heavy "baton". In the hospital, everyone was silent, except for the nervous sound of machinery in the operating room. Zhang Yi led the team to perform a thrilling operation, and after 7 hours of difficult exploration, Zhang Hua finally succeeded in removing this huge malignant tumor. In between the operation, Zhang Hua's husband choked up and cried, and the usually silent farmer finally completely took off his disguise, showing the deepest helplessness and gratitude in his heart.
This operation not only saved a dying life, but also showed the power of the doctor's benevolence. In the current era of tension between doctors and patients, Director Zhang Yi's behavior can be called a clear stream, which has aroused widespread attention from all walks of life.
What is it that sustains him in his struggle against fate on the line of life and death? How did he overcome all the difficulties to finally achieve this "impossible" operation? What is even more curious, why did this peasant woman attract the favor of such a doctor, and what is the story behind her?
Uncover the most touching stories between doctors and patients
Looking back on what happened to Zhang Hua, it is embarrassing. In September 2020, the otherwise healthy 41-year-old woman began to experience severe breathing difficulties, but instead of seeking immediate medical attention, she chose to stay on until 2023. The reason is very simple, as a peasant family, they feel reluctant to spend money on even small cold medicine, let alone a chest X-ray that costs hundreds of yuan.
"Crying me, I said to my husband, we have no rich people and we have the disease of rich people, what can we do. Zhang Hua's words were full of despair. A huge 20-centimeter tumor pressed against her heart and lungs, and after she went to several hospitals to seek medical treatment, the doctors said they could not do anything and gave up on the case.
As his condition deteriorated further, Zhang Hua was unable to even take care of his daily life. Desperate, the family finally decided to take a huge risk and travel to Beijing in search of the last ray of hope. What they never expected was that at Xuanwu Hospital in Beijing, they met a benevolent doctor - Zhang Yi, director of thoracic surgery.
After carefully reviewing the medical records, Zhang Yi immediately said that he was able to operate on Zhang Hua. The simple words "I can cure" made Zhang Hua's family burst into tears. For a patient who has been turned away by many hospitals, this is undoubtedly the greatest encouragement, and it is also a rare "lifeline".
Director Zhang Yi's kindness and professionalism did not stop at verbal promises. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the operation, he prepared a quilt for Zhang Hua's family in advance to cope with the low temperature that may occur during the operation. During the operation, Zhang Yi always watched the movements of his subordinates and accurately controlled every step. He skillfully used his extensive clinical experience to find a "lifeline" between the tumor and the blood vessels of the heart, saving this dying patient.
The operation lasted 7 hours, and the whole process was both difficult and exciting. Even doctors are suspicious during surgery, after all, the tumor has penetrated deep into the chest, very close to the heart, and carelessness can cause serious consequences. But it was with his devout belief in life that Director Zhang Yi finally succeeded in removing this huge malignant tumor for Zhang Hua.
Special surgical measures were taken to stop the bleeding, careful preoperative preparation, and the full cooperation of the surgical team were able to save the day. "It's a big tumor, I'll show you. At the end of the operation, Director Zhang Yi showed the terrifying tumor to Zhang Hua's family, and his face couldn't hide his pride.
Within 10 days after Zhang Hua was discharged from the hospital, Director Zhang Yi's team also arranged preventive radiotherapy for her to completely eradicate the remaining tumor cells in her body. It can be said that this kind doctor has used his professionalism and sincerity throughout the whole process to bring new hope to this dying family.
The benevolence and responsibility of a doctor
It is such a kind and professional healer that makes us wonder: what is it that supports him to fight for patients on the line of life and death?
In the interview, Director Zhang Yi revealed his original intention of treating every patient. "Look at this, this one seems to have no seams, but through experience, I think that her tumor seems to have a regular border, not like that, which is completely open and clawed, and there is a little bit of a very thin one, we call it a gap. Even in the face of such a difficult case, he has always maintained a cautious and optimistic attitude, trying to find every chance of life.
Zhang Yi also showed deep sympathy for the plight of Zhang Hua, a peasant family. "Her husband is actually more honest or honest, and he rarely says anything in the process of contact with him. This man works many jobs outside the home, so not only does he have to maintain the life of a family, but he also has to support or raise several children, so I think it is not easy. He was able to understand the family's situation and could not afford the high cost of medical care, which is why he was determined to do his best to eradicate the family's desperate situation. He told himself that he couldn't let the family despair. Therefore, he led the medical team to make careful arrangements and make various preparations before the operation to minimize the risk of surgery. No matter how difficult the operation is, he has to do his best to give this dying patient a new lease of life.
During the 7-hour operation, Zhang Yi kept a close eye on the movements of his subordinates, operating cautiously and attentively. Even though the tumor had penetrated deep into the chest cavity and pressed on the heart, which brought great difficulties to the operation, he finally found the "lifeline" with his rich clinical experience. In a tense atmosphere, he carefully separated, and finally succeeded in removing the huge malignant tumor.
After the operation, Zhang Hua finally regained his life. When she opened her eyes, the first thing she did was worry that she would be a burden to her family. But Director Zhang Yi had already thought of this, and he comforted her and said that there was no need to worry, and the hospital would do its best to ensure her recovery. In order to completely eradicate the remaining tumor cells, the hospital also arranged for her postoperative prophylactic radiotherapy.
Zhang Hua's family's gratitude to Zhang Yi is beyond words. The husband, who is usually silent, couldn't help but burst into tears during the operation. For an ordinary peasant family, it is undoubtedly a godsend to meet such a kind and professional doctor.
Zhang Yi's actions not only saved a life, but also showed the power of the doctor's benevolence. In the current era of tension between doctors and patients, his deeds are undoubtedly a breath of fresh air. We can't help but ask, what supports him to fight against fate on the line of life and death, and what makes him care so much for his patients and do not hesitate to put in great effort and energy?
Perhaps, as Zhang Hua said, a really good doctor must not only have excellent medical skills, but also have the spirit of benevolence. They are not only skilled technicians, but also warm healers. They don't just complete the operation, but use their whole dedication and sincerity to save lives on the verge of despair.
Zhang Yi is undoubtedly such a doctor. With his professionalism and kindness, he brought new hope to a peasant family. Under his leadership, the medical team of Xuanwu Hospital overcame many obstacles with wisdom and courage to finally achieve this "impossible" operation. I believe that in the future, there will be more doctors like Zhang Yi who will come forward and protect every life with benevolence and professionalism.
This touching story is undoubtedly worth pondering for each of us. As the public, how should we protect the kindness and responsibility of these doctors? How can we let more people learn from their deeds and spread the power of the benevolence of doctors? I believe that only when each of us contributes to it, can this society have more warmth and hope. Let's praise this kind doctor and light the light in our hearts for his deeds!
