Original title: The Air Force Special Medical Center devotes itself to serving officers and soldiers in remote and difficult areas -- medical warmth and border pass to withstand the cold winter
In the middle of winter, the northwest desert poplar fell, the cold wind was strong, but the clinic of a hospital of a certain air force base was warm and melting.
Sergeant Xiao Xu looked at Mao Gaoping, an expert in the gastroenterology department of the Air Force Special Medical Center, and his eyes were full of expectation. It was the second time in two days that he sat in front of the 63-year-old expert. A few minutes ago, Mao Gaoping recognized Xiao Xu in the long waiting line, learned that he had arrived from more than 60 kilometers away, and asked him to seek treatment first.
Recently, Xiao Xu often felt abdominal pain and weakness, and the resident hospital diagnosed pancreatitis, but his condition did not improve after taking medicine. Xiao Xu's mental pressure was getting stronger and stronger.
While inspecting the test and B ultrasound results, Mao Gaoping carefully inquired about Xiao Xu's recent diet and living conditions. More than 40 years of medical experience told him that Xiao Xu was not suffering from pancreatitis, but irritable bowel syndrome. In the past 3 days, this situation accounted for a large proportion of the patients received by Mao Gaoping.
Mao Gaoping is a member of the medical service team set up by the Air Force Special Medical Center. In order to provide the best medical services to the officers and men of the border customs, this team also concentrated "star" experts such as Zhang Bangshi, a 74-year-old imaging expert, Wu Ji, an orthopedic expert, Xu Hua, a pediatric expert, and Wang Enpu, an ophthalmologist, who enjoyed special government allowances from the State Council.
Special care is given to officers and men in special combat positions. In the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the low quality of sleep caused by lack of oxygen at high altitude is the main cause of heart, brain, nerve and other system diseases of officers and soldiers on the plateau. Two months ago, Gao He, a well-known sleep expert at the center, led a 30-person service team into the plateau to carry out clinical research and diagnosis and treatment services. Not long ago, the center's Ji Baomin led a team into Tibet to patrol the clinic, running through 5 places and 8 counties in 13 days, completing the "super" task of patrolling 23 stations and serving more than 4,000 officers and men.
Doctors visit the border pass, warm winter. During the physical examination of Xiao Bai, a cadre of a certain base company half a year ago, the ultrasound results showed that there was a mass lesion in his liver, suspected of hemangioma, and he needed to go to the resident hospital hundreds of kilometers away for CT examination to further confirm the diagnosis. However, due to the long distance and heavy base training tasks, Xiao Bai has not taken time to review. This time, the center sent a latest domestic spiral CT machine, Zhang Bangshi did an examination for Xiao Bai, and the result was benign. Under the reading lamp, Zhang Bangshi gave a simple explanation, so that Xiao Bai's tightly locked brow slowly stretched out.
In order to facilitate the review of officers and soldiers, this CT machine was settled in the base hospital. At the same time, 11 pieces (sets) of high-definition electronic gastroscopes, non-contact intraocular pressure meters, tumor marker detectors, fetal heart rate monitors, etc., with a total value of more than 3 million yuan, were also sent. In addition, the center also carefully selects clinical, auxiliary diagnosis and equipment experts to pass on experience and technology to the medical backbone in remote and difficult areas.
The center has also taken the initiative to sign a talent training agreement with troops in remote and difficult areas, and has now accepted nearly 200 grass-roots medical personnel to Beijing for further training; it has continued to cooperate with troops in remote and difficult areas to build a medical research service base, a talent training base and a red education base for its scientific research and medical personnel.
