Recently, the medical emotional care drama " Thank you for your doctor " starring Yang Mi and Bai Yu was popular on CCTV-8, Tencent videos and iQiyi, attracting the attention of the medical industry and the public.

The drama is adapted from the novel "ICU 48 Hours" signed by the Star Project. It takes medical emotional care as the entry point and locks its perspective in the EICU (Emergency Intensive Care Unit) of Tongshan Hospital. It tells the story of medical workers represented by "Xiao Yan" and "Atractylodes" who put the needs of patients first. While saving urgent and severe patients, it also gives them the greatest respect and understanding, and helps patients and their families rebuild their hopes for life.

Real character creation, professional medical checks, and warm medical ethics. The play takes reality as the background and true feelings as the link, touches more people's emotional care and triggers deep social thinking.

As of now, the drama's ratings on CCTV-8 have continued to break through and are rising steadily, and its popularity continues to rise in Tencent Video and iQiyi sites.

It is reported that once "Thank you Doctor" was broadcast, the extraordinary male and female protagonists of "Xiao Yan" and "Atractylodes" in the play caused public controversy. One motorcycle was racing fast, with a cold and hot personality on the outside; the other was obsessed with studying coffee beans and showed its "too sharp" at work - is such a doctor's image reasonable?

In the view of Yang Mi, the actor who plays "Xiao Yan", such "liveness" is what attracts her the most. "The biggest special thing about this character is that she has overturned some people's stereotypes about doctors. For example, when she rescues patients or performs surgery, she is a very professional doctor image, but in private she can ride a motorcycle in leather clothes, which is very cool. Who says that doctors can't ride motorcycles?"

actor Bai Yu also believes that "Atractylodes" is a non-perfect male lead, but he is also a very pure and firm person. "In fact, what he values most is whether the patient receives the most timely and effective treatment, which is also some of the disputes between him and Xiao Yan in terms of philosophy in the early stage. Later, through the treatment of different cases one by one, he also has a deeper understanding of the profession of doctors. It is not only the disease, but also the heart."

As Bai Yu said, the growth of "Atractylodes" is not a highlight growth in the traditional sense. From the initial complete rationality to the later emotional empathy of , the growth of the character is more like what this drama wants to express, thinking about the relationship between medicine and humans.

It is reported that "Thank you Doctor" was first filmed in 2019. The entire crew filmed in an emergency department area that has not yet been opened in the real hospital. The actors can see real patients coming and going in the hospital every day. Bai Yu, wearing a white coat, was once considered a real doctor. "What impressed me the most was that I went to the bathroom in a white coat. Some patients would come over to ask me where the department was. I was stunned for a moment. It really felt like a doctor."

But the actors were not professional doctors after all. How to play a good role in medical staff and grasp the real state of the doctor's rescue makes the audience feel that it is true and the real doctor cannot pick up the sting after seeing it. This has become the biggest challenge for the actors.

"The biggest challenge for this character is some interpretation of medical skills. Because we have cases during filming, in addition to memorizing medical terms, medical techniques are also very important. For example, surgery, Xiao Yan herself is a doctor with many years of experience. If you don't have a very professional gesture or technique during surgery, it will make people question the credibility."

Yang Mi's professionalism on the set was praised by Bai Yu. "I think she (Yang Mi) is very powerful. We have many professional terms, which I have tried very hard to say. Even if you understand it, it will be difficult for you to remember. But I feel that she says it very well every time, which is really amazing."

To ensure the medical professionalism of the play to the greatest extent, the crew invites professional doctors to "sit in" throughout the entire process and strictly control it in every link of the series preparation, shooting, editing, and post-production.Whether it is the emergency treatment process, the high restoration of the sense of atmosphere, or the correct use of a large number of professional terms in the play, the credibility of the plot content has greatly improved.

"When a doctor is not facing a disease, but a patient, our mission is to accompany them, we should accompany them to overcome diseases and death. Even if we cannot, we should be with them and face unchangeable destiny together, so I think medicine is ultimately human learning." This is the dialogue between "Xiao Yan" and "Bai Shu" on the riverside after Yu Mingming died in the play, and it is also the line that impressed Yang Mi the most.

"I used to think that doctors are just treating diseases and saving people. After filming this drama, they know that they need to understand medicine and people. Because in addition to how to treat diseases, doctors also need to communicate with patients and their families, and how to express themselves safely. Each of our cases has a series of stories behind them, including the relationship between doctors and patients, the relationship between family members, and how to communicate in a way that they can better accept the doctor's proposals."

Bai Yu also felt the same about this, "Doctors are a group of people who help patients overcome the disease. No doctor hopes that the patients are not good. Doctors are on the same front, and they are more like comrades in the face of pain and death together. Both sides are equal and respectful."

In the drama, the doctors in Tongshan Hospital not only treat the disease, but also treat the heart. They will do their best to treat the patient, but they will not forget to convey warmth outside of the treatment: when the young patient is only one week old and his only wish is to leave a beautiful photo of his father, the doctor will dress up and take photos of her while ensuring her health; when the father of autistic children sells barbecue near the hospital to treat the child, the doctor will specially buy barbecue for help; when the mother refuses surgery, the doctor will contact her daughter who is far away from home and has emotional barriers, try her best to ease the relationship between mother and daughter, and persuade the mother to receive treatment with emotion.

"This drama is not only about talking about medical skills, or common sense of curing diseases and saving lives, but more about emotional care." Speaking of what kind of value this drama can convey to the public and society, Yang Mi believes that it is more about emphasizing the healthy relationship between doctors and patients, communication between people and emotional care.

"It's like the transformation of the role of "Atractylodes"," the actor Bai Yu felt deeply. "From the beginning, I just wanted to cure the disease and save the patient, to the end I would have emotional care for the patient, it was a transformation of growth."

"Thank you Doctor" added many references to real cases when writing the script. It shows about 70 different case units in 40 episodes, not only telling stories about medical professions, but also through the small window of the emergency department, telling the most ordinary and real life happening around the public.

Yang Mi has experienced the story of wanting to say "thank you" to the doctor. During the filming of "Thank you Doctor", her eyes had some problems at one time, "One eye was red, and she couldn't work or film during that period. Later, after it was cured, I went to consult with Dr. Tao Yong, I knew. He told me that the disease was a little more serious than I thought, and he also told me the treatment method in detail. I realized that I should not ignore any small signals from the body. If you have any questions, you must consult a professional doctor."

Speaking of health, Bai Yu also shared his tips for a healthy life, "I think this is more important to maintain a positive attitude. I hope everyone can maintain a positive attitude."
