One-armed village doctor Wang Wengen: 29 years of guarding the health of 3,000 households, "120" on call
In Dongfang Village, Lishan Town, Suixian County, Suizhou City, Hubei Province, there is a special rural doctor, and he is Wang Wengen. Although he lost his right hand due to bone cancer, the one-armed village doctor used tenacity and perseverance to protect the health of more than 3,000 surrounding villagers.
1. Retired from the army and returned to his hometown, and his original intention did not change
Wang Wengen, born in 1964, embarked on a military career at the age of 18. In the army, he worked as a hygienist and learned basic medical techniques. During that time, he witnessed the fragility and strength of life, and also deeply realized the great significance of saving lives and helping the wounded. The fighting of the forest fire in the Daxing'an Mountains made him deeply feel the impermanence and preciousness of life.
After retiring, Wang Wengen did not choose to stay in the city, but resolutely returned to his hometown and became a rural doctor. He said: "At the beginning, I wanted to help the villagers so that they could see a doctor at their doorstep. This simple and pure original intention has become the source of motivation for him to stick to the rural medical post for 29 years.
2. Practice medicine with one arm and not be afraid of difficulties
However, fate played a cruel joke on Wang Wengen. His right hand had to be amputated due to bone cancer. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow for a doctor. However, Wang Wengen did not give up, and with tenacious perseverance and unremitting efforts, he gradually adapted to the life of one-handed medicine.
"It was really hard at first, I couldn't even do the most basic injections." Wang Wengen recalled. But instead of bowing to fate, he began to try to accomplish these movements with his left hand and teeth. He practiced over and over again until he was able to expertly break open the glass vial for injection with one hand, tear open the needle pack with the help of his teeth, and hold the bottle steady with his legs. These seemingly simple actions require more effort and sweat than others for him.
3. Protect your health and be on call
In Dongfang Village, Wang Wengen is the "120" in the hearts of the villagers. No matter day or night, no matter wind or rain, as long as the villagers are in need, he always rushes to the scene as soon as possible. His phone has become a "health hotline" for the villagers, who call at any time to consult about their condition or ask for help.
Once, at 12 o'clock in the evening, a villager suddenly had a high fever, and his family was in a hurry. After receiving the call, Wang Wengen immediately put on his clothes and rode a motorcycle to the villager's house. After some diagnosis and treatment, the patient's condition was effectively controlled. There are countless things like this in Wang's medical career.
Fourth, the medical skills are superb and the medical ethics are noble
In addition to his on-call service attitude, Wang Wengen's medical skills are also recognized by the villagers. He is adept at using traditional Chinese medicine and folk remedies to treat a variety of common and frequent diseases. At the same time, he also pays attention to learning modern medical knowledge and constantly updating his medical skills.
In the process of practicing medicine, Wang Wengen has always adhered to the "patient-centered" service concept. He treats each patient patiently and meticulously, not only caring about their condition, but also about their life and psychological condition. His noble medical ethics and superb medical skills have won wide praise and respect from the villagers.
5. Stick to the original intention and convey warmth
Over the past 29 years, Wang Wengen has been sticking to his rural medical post and interpreting the profound connotation of "doctor's benevolence" with his practical actions. "The greatest happiness of being a doctor is to see the smile on the face of a patient's recovery," he said. This sentence is simple but sincere, and it expresses his original intention and mission as a doctor.
In Wang Wengen's body, we see the perseverance and responsibility of a rural doctor. With one hand, he held up the hope of the villagers' health, and conveyed warmth and strength with a heart. He is the guardian of the Oriental Village, a role model and the pride of our time.
The story of Wang Wengen, a one-armed village doctor, makes us feel the power of the benevolence of the doctor. He interpreted the sacred mission of "saving lives and helping the wounded" with practical actions, and also let us see the tenacity and responsibility of rural doctors. Let's praise this on-call "120" and pay tribute to his perseverance and dedication!
