This is the work and rest schedule of a 90-year-old man, Professor Xia Yuqing, a famous old Chinese medicine doctor of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the pioneer of Chinese electrothermal acupuncture therapy.
Get up at 5:30 a.m., wash up, have breakfast, and arrive at work around 6:30 a.m. to give needles to patients with difficult diseases from all over the country, one by one. The hospital goes to work at eight o'clock, and the patient re-registers.
Before 12:30, rush to the next hospital, start another half-day face-to-face consultation and electric thermoid therapy, and often delay until six or seven o'clock at night, or even seven or eight o'clock to leave work. Three hospitals, she took turns to rush to the clinic.
In order to diagnose and treat more patients, she went to another hospital at 12:30, and first gave a group of patients who were waiting to needle them one by one before starting to eat. As soon as the chopsticks are put down, the face-to-face examination or needle is started again.
According to the medical staff, after she went to work, she did not drink water and did not go to the toilet. Because each patient has to take dozens of needles at a time, a considerable number of them are still on their backs and lying on both sides, and at the end of the day, there are more than 100 people.
In November 2016, she fell in a busy state with a comminuted fracture of her right leg and foot, injured everywhere, and nailed three steel plates and 14 steel nails. She was bedridden for three months, caring for the patient, enduring the pain of intensive exercise, and going to work early.
It's still about 10 hours a day, and you still have to stand and bend down to get needles. After a long time, my right leg was sore and my foot was black and swollen. But she didn't rest for half a working day, preferring to go home tired and get a needle.
For decades, she has cured countless intractable patients, from the age of 16 to 90, counting the working hours, she is already past the age of 100. On the road of her life, she engraved the bright footprints of selfless dedication.
She has experienced the storms of the War of Liberation, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and even the "Cultural Revolution", and has been reforming and opening up so far. In 1983, the electric thermotherapy she pioneered officially entered the clinic, first treating skin tumors, so that the tumor body reached 45 degrees of tumor atrophy and fell off. 2 to 3 times more effective than ordinary millineedles.
Young Song Mou on the outskirts of Beijing, difficult and serious, has nearly advanced stages, Chinese and Western medical methods have used a lot of results, the body pain is unbearable, in the summer old place electric heat injection treatment for more than a month, the symptoms are obviously relieved and good.
Li Mou, Fengtai District, Beijing, has advanced lung adenocarcinoma, and brain metastasis and bone metastasis cannot be operated on. In April 2020, he received electrothermal acupuncture treatment from Xia Lao, which showed an effect. She was grateful: "Elder Xia is so nice! ”
Professor Xia Yuqing's medical ethics and benevolence also made the medical staff around him deeply moved and respected. Her profound foundation in the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, unique therapies, and miraculous effects have made some of the world's most difficult and serious diseases solved.
There was a nurse in Wangjing Hospital who had lupus erythematosus and had to be hospitalized with fever every six months, and he could not turn positive for many years after graduating and being assigned to the hospital. Elder Xia gave her a needle to take Chinese medicine, and her illness gradually improved, and for three years, there was no vacation for a day.
Another nurse had a motor neuron disease and was sentenced to death at the West Hospital, saying that he had only lived for three years and treated Xia Lao. "Treating the sick and saving people is my greatest pleasure!"
After she retired, many hospitals hired her for 500 to 1,000 yuan per registration fee for experts, but she insisted on quitting. She made a rule: her expert registration fee should not exceed one hundred yuan. (The writer is a senior reporter of Farmers Daily)
