"Jingle bells, jingle bells..." The phone at the guidance desk has been ringing, looking at the phone, Wang Rong, a guide from the Respiratory Department of Jiangsu Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, approached but did not dare to pick it up.
"Is it true?" The voice on the other end of the phone seemed urgent, but what he didn't know was that the same question had been asked more than once, and he didn't know how many times the phone had ringed... Among the people who called, there were men and women, old and young, inside and outside the province, the same point, they were all patients who had been treated by Dr. Shi Suofang.
Wang Rong, who answered the phone, could not hide her sadness, the tear marks had not yet been wiped away, and the tears could not help but flow down again, and she choked up and replied: "It is true." The memorial service will be held on October 15th, and you will have time to come and bid farewell to Dr. Shi for the last time. There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, and then a trembling voice came: "The last time he promised me to come to my house to eat dumplings, why didn't he fulfill his promise..."
In January this year, 59-year-old Shi Suofang took command and sent experts from the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine to Changchun, Jilin Province, to guide the clinical frontline diagnosis and treatment of new crown pneumonia. Chinese New Year's Eve day, Dr. Shi was about to end his last battle. Passing by the ward, he saw an old man standing in front of the bed looking out the window for a long time. Looking at the old man's lonely back, he hurried downstairs to buy dumplings and beckoned the old man to eat together. The old man shook Dr. Shi's hand and said emotionally, "When I am well, you come to my house to eat dumplings, and I will give you a bag." Dr. Shi smiled and replied, "Good! Hello I'll go! Looking at the lights of wanjia outside the window, the old man's smiling face was blinded by tears.
In the impression of his colleague Wei Yu, Dr. Shi is tall and has two white sideburns, "as soon as he puts on the protective clothing, it is like being full of electricity, and when he puts in the work, he will never be able to make it endless, always putting the needs of patients first, never considering himself." Last year, during the epidemic in Hubei, as the secretary of the provisional party branch of the National Traditional Chinese Medicine Medical Team (Jiangsu), Shi Suofang took the lead and quickly rushed to jiangxia fang cabin hospital to charge the front line of the fight against the epidemic. During her work, Shi Suofang did not eat or drink in the isolation ward for seven or eight hours a day, and insisted on consulting every patient admitted. His actions have won the high praise and full trust of patients, and everyone sees Dr. Shi as cordial as they see their relatives.
In addition, Dr. Shi Suofang has always adhered to the self-confidence of Chinese medicine, he thinks diligently, loves to read books, and his lectures are very infectious, and he always quotes scriptures, which arouses students' enthusiastic cheers. During the epidemic period, he gave full play to the traditional advantages of traditional Chinese medicine in fighting the epidemic, and discriminated and treated according to the characteristics of each patient, comprehensively used acupuncture, massage, moxibustion therapy and other special chinese medicine therapies, and applied special parties in addition to the unified party, truly achieving "one person and one side", achieving remarkable curative effects, and highlighting the unique wisdom and strength of traditional Chinese medicine in the process of fighting the epidemic.
"Teacher Shi is like a beacon, guiding us forward on the road of Chinese medicine. He is full of hope for the future of Chinese medicine, and under the inspiration of his spirit, we firmly believe that Chinese medicine will be able to carry forward and expand, and we students in Guangdong University will certainly be able to shoulder the mission and responsibility of inheriting and carrying forward the culture of Chinese medicine, and live up to our teacher Shi. Shi Suofang's student Zhang Wanru said.
The good doctor is clean and dustless, and the soft voice is more amiable. Because of Shi Suofang's superb medical skills, many patients from all over the country come to him every day for consultation. Because the distressed patients run back and forth, Dr. Shi always starts from the patient's point of view and often adds a number to the patient, but what many patients do not know is that Dr. Shi suffers from a serious eye disease, the retina has fallen off, and the eye state has been very bad.
Dr. Shi also wrote well, and whenever he saw a patient, he would always write some words of blessing on the medical record to express his wishes. The attitude of benevolence and benevolence also made him receive heartfelt thanks from patients. Especially after each anti-epidemic task, the guidance desk always receives thank-you calls from patients, and the words are full of greetings and gratitude to Dr. Shi.
In July this year, when the epidemic broke out in Nanjing, Dr. Shi Suofang once again took up the battle as the leader of the Chinese medicine expert group for covid-19 rehabilitation of the Jiangsu Provincial Health Commission. At any time, he always adhered to the frontline of the fight against the epidemic, using superb medical skills and noble medical ethics to give patients careful and considerate diagnosis and treatment and care, until the last patient was discharged from the hospital, he was evacuated. "His body was fine, but this time he was really tired and fell down." Recalling the past bits and pieces, Dr. Shi Suofang's colleagues are all unmoved and difficult to sustain themselves.
At 1:06 a.m. on October 13, 2021, Dr. Shi Suofang died at the age of 59 due to the ineffectiveness of treatment for a sudden illness in the fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic. All things are endless, and the survivors are wounded. On October 15, the memorial service was held in the Zhiyuan Hall of the Funeral Home of Xitian Temple in Nanjing. On this day, the rain poured down, and the people who came to mourn him were all sad, and everyone refused to leave the spiritual hall for a long time.
October 19 is Dr. Shi Suofang's "first seven", Chinese, sad and sad. Jinling City is still rainy, the phone at the guidance desk rings from time to time, and the words of thanks still echo in the hospital from time to time, but Dr. Shi Suofang can no longer hear it... (Li Yuze)
