For the health of hundreds of millions of people —— The "most beautiful doctor" lifts his life with great love (II)

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, August 18 th: For the health of hundreds of millions of people-"the most beautiful doctor" lifts his life with great love (part two)

Since the founding of New China 70 years ago, the average life expectancy in China has increased from 35 years to 77 years, and the main health indicators have been in the forefront of middle-and high-income countries, which is inseparable from the unremitting struggle and selfless dedication of generations of health workers.

From Gu He to Ge Junbo and Yao Yufeng, several generations of medical workers in China have cherished the Chinese dream, reported the national conditions, inherited the great doctors' sincere way of helping the world, and worked hard for the health of hundreds of millions of people.

Realize "one skill" and help the world.

1April, 1993, at an altitude of 10,000 meters, Yao Yufeng, who made a budding appearance in the field of ophthalmology, faced a life choice.

He has two tickets in his hand, one is to land in Beijing, the other is to go to Harvard University, and the destination is carefully arranged by his Japanese tutor. Where are you going?

He remembers the excitement when he read the story of mathematician Chen Jingrun when he was young; I remembered the letter Zheng Shu, the old president of Zhejiang University, wrote to myself: I believe you will come back eventually. ...

The plane landed and Yao Yufeng came back.

1995 in may this year, Yao Yufeng presided over a corneal transplant operation, which adopted the latest stripping technique and broke through the rejection problem that has plagued the ophthalmology community for a century. That year, he was 33.

He taught this technology to the next generation of corneal disease professionals without reservation, and has trained 5000 people so far.

In the past 20 years, Yao Yufeng has treated 300,000 patients, and nearly 30,000 patients have recovered from his operation. Since he returned to China for 20 years, he has never taken a Chinese New Year holiday, and he has lost a lot of care for his favorite daughter. ...

"I have no choice but to stick to it!" Yao Yufeng said.

The achievement of "one skill" to help the world runs through the life of Shi Xuemin, a master of traditional Chinese medicine and a "ghost hand and needle".

Seeing the lack of medicine and infectious diseases in his hometown, Shi Xuemin felt that "what China needs most is doctors". This young man who came out of the troubled countryside chose to study Chinese medicine and inherit acupuncture.

"To be a good doctor, only persistence"-after decades of persistence, Shi Xuemin finally got the "ghost hand" and persisted with a needle, which is a real example; The combination of traditional Chinese and western medicine, acupuncture medicine ... profound medical skills have saved countless lives.

"Chinese medicine should learn from the past, be brave in innovation, and be scientifically verified before it can spread all over the world." Shi Xuemin, 8 1 year-old, is still not satisfied.

Be merciful and tide over the difficulties together.

Ge Junbo, an academician of China Academy of Sciences and a cardiologist, likes reading Jin Yong's novels and compares himself to Xiao Feng, a great soldier. Helping American passengers on the plane, incarnating as a "barefoot doctor" to help passers-by ... His "blur" magically flashed where it was most needed.

1999, 37-year-old Ge Junbo just returned to work. In order to "grab time" for patients with myocardial infarction, she applied for three BP machines.

In 20 10, a child with congenital heart disease was in tears because of slow development. His heart blood vessels were too thin to insert any catheter. Later, he contacted a special catheter abroad, successfully performed the second operation, and managed to avoid the expenses of the child's family.

Ge Junbo didn't stop: he led the team to develop a new domestic coronary stent, which can save a lot of money for patients and the country and greatly reduce the safety risk.

The first case of high-frequency coronary rotational atherectomy, the first case of percutaneous aortic valve replacement and the first case of apical mitral valvulotomy ... He touched countless people with his hands that were repeatedly cramped due to high fatigue.

"Practicing medicine is like being a man, knowing everything, and the most important thing is to be conscientious." Ge Junbo said.

Since March 2007, a team of volunteer doctors wearing white medical team uniforms and red "heart" badges have often appeared: free clinic, poverty alleviation, disaster relief and foreign aid. ...

The organizers are Professor LAM Raymond from xuanwu hospital Neurosurgery Department of Capital Medical University and Professor Hu Dayi from Peking University People's Hospital. Up to now, 1770 doctors have become practitioners of "volunteerism".

Spontaneously do free clinics, do health surveys, build workstations, and leave a "medical team" for poor areas ... China volunteer doctors are coming.

LAM Raymond said that the volunteer doctors in China should not only sow technology, but also sow medical humanistic spirit.

Give great love to save lives

Zhuang Shihua, honorary president of the Xinjiang Armed Police Corps Hospital and chief physician of the Hepatobiliary Surgery Center, remembers that from airplanes and cars to horseback riding, camel riding and walking, the group set off from Urumqi for three whole days and had to climb over two snow-capped mountains of more than 4,000 meters in succession before arriving at the border guard station of Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County on the Pamirs.

This is just one of the six times he went to the grass-roots level in 1.

"I can't stand the patient's disappointed eyes, and I can't stand the patient's lack of treatment." He said.

After visiting more than 70 border guards, Zhuang Shihua learned that there was another Tajik petty officer Madali alone at the grazing point 10 km away. He ignored the dissuasion and set off with his medicine box on his back.

Zhuang Shihua stayed in Xinjiang for 47 years and traveled nearly 400,000 kilometers. He turned himself into a "mobile hospital" and created a miracle of protecting health with great love: more than 390,000 people visited the hospital; More than 654.38+03 thousand cases of minimally invasive gallbladder surgery were carried out; Volunteer to help rural health centers and clinics in 26 remote and poor agricultural and pastoral areas improve medical conditions. ...

Wang Xinhua, a nurse in the Fifth Medical Center of PLA General Hospital, also created a miracle. In the "bloody hell" ravaged by Ebola virus, she rushed to Emma, the African mother, and recalled her will to live with love.

In the 20 15 season, Wang Xinhua won the 45th Nightingale Medal. But she felt the most glorious moment was when Emma hugged her and said, "You gave me a second life! “

"The post of nurse is ordinary, but it has extraordinary significance and glorious mission." She said.

Fighting against SARS, earthquake relief, conducting disaster relief exercises in the ASEAN region, and medical rescue after the strong typhoon in the Philippines ... On the most dangerous "battlefield" in peacetime, Wang Xinhua burned itself again and again, illuminating others and "snatched" countless lives from the hands of death.

On the occasion of the second "China Physician's Day" in China, let us remember and pay tribute to these health guards.
