Not long ago, Yuha Henessiemi, a top expert in the international neurosurgery field, came from his hometown finland to Zhengzhou, Henan Province, to "settle down". From July this year, he will work in the Henan Provincial People's Hospital for 3 years, becoming the first foreign medical expert to be introduced full-time in our province. July 10 was the first day of the foreign specialist's consultation.

At 8:00 a.m. on the same day, in the second floor of the Inpatient Department of the East Branch of Henan Provincial People's Hospital, in the No. 1 consultation room of Henan International Medical Center, a "foreign face" wearing a white coat attracted the attention of many people, he was Yuha. He was accompanied by two other doctors, one who assisted in the diagnosis and treatment and acted as an interpreter, and the other who was responsible for recording the patient's complaints and improving the case data.

At 8:48, the consultation room welcomed a patient, Ms. Bian, 75, from Puyang. Standing up, nodding and smiling, and signaling the patient to sit down, Yuha began to consult the patient.

Ms. Bian described that two years ago, the right half of her face began to be tormented by trigeminal neuralgia, and she went to zhengzhou, Beijing and other hospitals for treatment, and after some treatment, the symptoms were alleviated, but the pain has recurred again in recent months.

After careful consultation and careful viewing of the film, Yuha gave his own diagnosis and treatment suggestions, "I think you can do a microvascular decompression surgery, because you have done other treatments before, there is damage to the nerves, this operation may not be 100% sure, but I think it is worth trying." ”

At 9:20, Ms. Bian's visit ended. "I looked at it very carefully, and the doctor's advice was also very thorough." I thought that there was a language barrier for the first time to see a foreigner, but Ms. Bian felt smoother than expected after experiencing it herself.

As of 1 p.m. on the same day, Yuha had received a total of 10 patients. "Nodding" before the diagnosis and "shaking hands" after the diagnosis, his image of a gentleman and gentleman was praised by patients and their families.

Professor Yuha, 71 years old this year, is an authoritative expert in cerebrovascular disease recognized by the international neurosurgery community. In his 43 years as a physician, he has performed more than 16,000 microsurgery operations, of which more than 1,000 surgical videos have become recognized as classic textbooks in the neurosurgery community.

"In the international neuromedicine community, as long as Professor Yuha is mentioned, no one does not give a thumbs up." Li Tianxiao, executive vice president of the Provincial People's Hospital cerebrovascular disease hospital, told reporters that the biggest feature of Yuha's surgery is "clean, sharp and effective", and the patient's admission to discharge generally takes only 5 days, which is two-thirds less than the general hospital stay.

According to the agreement signed with the Provincial People's Hospital in December last year, Yuha will carry out surgical teaching, consultation, discussion of difficult cases and scientific research here for three years, and the weekly arrangements are full. He was accompanied by 6 medical staff of different nationalities, including assistants, anesthesiologists, etc., who together formed his medical research team.

"The working environment and management here are very good, and I am honored to be able to exert my residual heat in China after retirement." In the interview, Yuha excitedly said several times, Thisismynewhome (this is my new home).

Although the number of hours signed up is limited, he intends to work here for longer periods of time. "I want to focus on developing young doctors because they have a lot of potential." Yuha said.

At the end of the interview, Yuha praised his "new home" with a simple Chinese: "Henan, zhong! ”
