At the end of December 2020, The floor of the outpatient building of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital was covered with bloodstains. A vicious-looking man was subdued by security guards and pinned to the ground. A dagger next to him was still dripping with blood. He looked at the doctor who was running towards the emergency room in a panic, and showed a hateful and vicious smile...
The Farmer and the Snake
There is a mythical existence in Beijing Chaoyang Hospital. He is the ophthalmologist Tao Yong . As a post-80s generation, he had already obtained a doctorate in medicine early, and at the age of 36, he became a doctoral tutor, professor, and chief physician.
When Tao Yong was about to finish studying in Germany, his supervisor hoped that he would not return to China and continue to do research in Germany.
Faced with the temptation of money and fame, Tao Yong refused without even thinking. He studied medicine not for money, nor for fame and fortune, but because he had a heart to treat illnesses and save people since he was a child. During those days when he was studying in Germany, the blood flowing in his body emphasized over and over again that the motherland needed him and that thousands of patients with eye diseases needed him.
After returning to China, Tao Yong came to work at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University. As a young and promising man, he soon became the chief physician. Uveitis is a world-class eye disease that can only be treated by a handful of top doctors, and Tao Yong is one of them.
Tao Yong not only has outstanding professional skills, but is also very willing to share his surgical experience. Colleagues say that he is the "leader" of the hospital, and patients who have been cured by him call him "the god sent by God to the mortal world to save people in need."
is such a doctor with ideals and ambitions and hopes to make greater contributions to the medicine of the motherland. He never thought that his future would be destroyed at the hands of the patients he had worked so hard to treat.
At 1:55 pm on January 20, 2020, a sneaky man appeared on the seventh floor of the outpatient department of Chaoyang Hospital, wandering around looking for his target.
"Tao Yong! I'm going to kill you!"
Doctor Tao Yong, who was examining the patient, was stabbed by a sharp knife before he could realize what was going on. The cold dagger was dripping with bright red blood.
"Calm down, calm down first!"
Covering the bleeding wound, Dr. Tao Yong tried his best to calm the other person's mood and wanted to ask what happened.
"Calm down? It's all thanks to you that I'm like this now. If it weren't for you, would my eyes be like this?"
Tao Yong looked at the man in front of him and felt extremely chilled in his heart. This man who once almost gave up treatment because of financial difficulties, if he had not paid for his medical treatment out of his own pocket, he might have been living in darkness.
But now, the story of the farmer and the snake is happening to me.
The man had been eroded by hatred. He went crazy and chased Dr. Tao Yong with a knife. From the seventh floor of the clinic to the sixth floor, his pursuit like a god of death never stopped.
There were blood stains everywhere in the clinic building. People were so frightened that they screamed. Some medical staff rushed in front of the patients to protect them, and some wanted to help Tao Yong.
The man who can cut people is too strong and has a sharp knife in his hand. The medical staff with bare hands are no match for him. Soon, two medical staff were slashed during the fight, and one even brought his child to the hospital for treatment. His mother also became an innocent victim.
Cui Zhenguo shouted crazily and raised a knife to chop at Dr. Tao Yong. Soon Dr. Tao Yong was covered with scars, and every step he took would leave pools of blood.
In the end, with the joint efforts of everyone, Cui Zhenguo was subdued, and Dr. Tao Yong was also pushed to the operating room urgently, with his life or death uncertain.
A bolt from the blue
This day is the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month. Every household is busy preparing New Year's goods and looking forward to a year of reunion.
Tao Yong’s family is no exception. The family is making dumplings while laughing.
"Mom, will dad come back to celebrate the New Year with us this year?"
"Should... yes!"
Tao Tao is not surprised at all by this result. His father is a workaholic and has been with her since childhood. There is very little time. When she thought of this, the little girl felt aggrieved and shed a few tears.
The grandfather saw his granddaughter in pain, hugged her and said, "If dad doesn't come back this year, let's go to the hospital and bring dumplings to celebrate the New Year with him, okay?"
The grandfather and grandson were joking when Tao Yong's wife received a call from the hospital. She was still smiling, but her expression changed the moment she heard the call. The phone also slipped from her hand, and she was dumbfounded.
"What's wrong? Did something happen in the hospital?"
"Tao Yong... Something happened to Tao Yong! He was chopped by the patient he once saved. He is undergoing surgery now and his condition is very bad."
Although Tao Tao is young, he knows from the words of his grandfather and mother that his father is going through a big difficulty and may not even come back.
For the next two weeks, every second was a long torture for Tao Yong’s family. Tao Yong suffered a broken left hand, neuromuscular and blood vessel rupture, craniocerebral trauma, and occipital bone fracture. He has been in the intensive care unit since he came out of the operating room. His life is not out of danger and he may leave everyone at any time.
"Mom, why did that person kill my dad? My dad is a good man! Why would a person hurt another person who had helped him?"
Tao Tao's question silenced the adults. Even the children understood. Why can’t adults understand the truth?
The optimistic and open-minded Dr. Tao Yong
Two weeks later, everyone finally got the good news they had been dreaming of. Dr. Tao Yong was finally out of danger of death.
The first person to rush into ICU was Tao Yong's wife. She saw her husband lying on the hospital bed, his body covered with gauze, his head was swollen larger than usual, and his body was covered with various tubes. No matter how strong he was, She couldn't bear such a scene and looked at her husband with tears in her eyes.
She really wanted to hug her husband, but she almost lost him, which made everything become precious. But looking at her husband's seriously injured body, she just gently rubbed the fingers of his right hand and asked softly: "Does it hurt?"
Unexpectedly, Tao Yong smiled, as if he was not the one who experienced the disaster of life and death, comforting him. The wife said: "Fortunately, I was the one who was chopped down. I am young and can run fast!"
Tao Yong's optimism and open-mindedness made his wife even more uncomfortable. She could no longer hold back her emotions and immediately burst into tears. The sadness that had been suppressed for months suddenly burst out.
"Oh, why are you crying? Look, am I still alive?"
After being transferred to the general ward, Dr. Tao Yong's main treatment work became rehabilitation training, which has also become the topic of greatest concern to everyone.
For a surgeon, hands are weapons given by God to treat patients. Especially a doctor with superb medical skills like Dr. Tao Yong, whose hands can be described as "magic hands." Throughout the country, there are only a handful of doctors who can match his surgical prowess.
Many people can’t help but wonder, can Dr. Tao Yong return to the operating table after being injured?
This problem also troubles Dr. Tao Yong.
Therefore, during the rehabilitation training, Dr. Tao Yong’s strength was touching.
Not only was the left hand fractured, but the nerves and muscles were also severed. For a long time after the operation, the entire left hand had no feeling.
Finally, I was able to have some feelings, but I still couldn't control it flexibly. Most of the time, I was hit by the cold like falling into an ice cellar, with slight twitches from time to time, which made my flesh painful.
In order to recover as quickly as possible, Dr. Tao Yong soaks his hands in warm water every day and presses the edematous parts to stimulate blood circulation and restore body functions as soon as possible.
Next, someone needs to help Dr. Tao Yong to break the joints every day. The reason why he cannot do it by himself is because the pain of the whole process is very unbearable. Dr. Tao Yong, who was lying on the bed undergoing rehabilitation training, always endured the pain, but often cried out because of it. His whole face was twisted and red due to the pain, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.
I don’t hate him
After Dr. Tao Yong became popular, netizens affectionately called him “Tao San Sui” and made many support gifts for him.
After his daughter Tao Tao learned about it, she agreed with the nickname very much.
“My dad is just like a three-year-old child, who doesn’t even have basic self-care abilities, but he is as strong as a three-year-old child. No matter how big a fall he can immediately stand up and continue rushing. ."
Some people will ask this nine-year-old girl if she hates the person who hurt her father, but the little girl smiles and answers like this:
"My father said that he does not want to bury himself in hatred. Since he does not hate him, Then I don’t hate it He. "
" My dad is now a three-year-old child. He can't twist his own towel or peel an orange. He can only walk on my left side when going out and hold me with his right hand. But it doesn't matter. I am nine years old. I am six years older than my father. I can take care of daddy!”
If it were a child from an ordinary family, he would probably have a psychological shadow after encountering these things, and he might even have a fear of the profession of a doctor.
Even an adult will be unable to calm down for a long time after witnessing Dr. Tao Yong's situation.
And why can Tao Tao be so calm, smiling at the wind and rain? The answer lies with Tao Yong.
After Tao Yong's condition improved, reporters came to interview him one after another. When talking about Cui Zhenguo, the murderer who hurt him, Tao Yong said: "In fact, his condition was more serious than he imagined. If I had not cured him at that time, How is he Can you chop me so accurately?"
In fact, Tao Yong is right. If Cui Zhenguo had not met Tao Yong, there would be a 90% chance that he would not receive any treatment, because there are basically no doctors in the country who can treat him. Eye disease.
According to the current medical level in China, it is a medical miracle that his eyes can recover to this extent.
But Cui Zhenguo believed that since Tao Yong had performed surgery on him, he must be completely cured, not half cured like now. Blinded by hatred, he put all the blame on his savior, and wanted to make Dr. Tao Yong experience the darkness he had experienced.
Crazy people actually have no three views on the world.
Cui Zhenguo didn't know that the waist disease recurred on the day Dr. Tao Yong performed surgery on him. Previously, Dr. Tao Yong had six nails hammered into his waist due to lumbar vertebra fracture. During the two hours of surgery on Cui Zhenguo, Dr. Tao Yong kept his back straight and endured the severe back pain.
"If I see him again one day, I want him to see the wounds left by my lumbar spine surgery. I want to tell him that we were really kind and righteous to him when we performed surgery on him, including saving him money. I I want him to know that this society is not as dark as he thinks."
记. The interviewer asked him whether he hated Cui Zhenguo, and Dr. Tao Yong showed a faint smile:
"No matter what legal sanctions he receives, I am still me. Whether I am happy or unhappy in the future, or whether I am happy or not, actually has nothing to do with him. , I can think about it. If I keep immersing myself in hatred and cannot get out of it, and even seek revenge on others and society, then I will become the second him."
"I have seen too many tragic fates, so I am more tolerant and can accept more and heavier blows. "
Dr. Tao in the eyes of her daughter
In a speech program, Tao Tao mentioned the father in her eyes.
If the little girl had not said it herself, it would be difficult for people to imagine that she has been living in a boarding school since she was in elementary school. The reason is not To train the children, Tao Tao's mother is too busy, not only to work, but also to take care of Dr. Tao Yong's life.
In Tao Tao's view, her father is the child who will never grow up and does not know how to do housework. Not to mention taking care of his family.
Because he is busy with work, Dr. Tao Yong will go out every Monday morning with a big bag of dirty clothes and stinky socks.
When she was a child, Tao Tao once asked her mother a funny question.
"Mom, is it because Dad doesn't have clean clothes when he comes home?" "
Children always think of something and say it. There is no secret or fuss. When these strange questions are raised, Tao Yong feels angry and funny.
Although Tao Yong is at home on weekends, in fact he still doesn't have much Spend time with the children. Tao Tao always opens the door of the study and asks: "Dad, there is still a home in his mobile phone. When he comes home, he is either on the phone or writing in front of the computer. "
Tao Yong didn't know how to answer his daughter's question. He was helpless and a little sad at the same time.
He devoted his youth and energy to medicine. He always hoped that he could work harder and have greater achievements in the field. Achievements, so that more patients can see the light again.
But all this is based on his sacrifice of his family.
Fortunately, he has a good wife who not only takes care of his family in an orderly manner, but also educates his daughter. She has to be well-behaved and sensible. Although Tao Tao doesn't want to go to boarding school and wants her father to spend more time with her like other people's fathers do, she knows how to support her father's work and respect his choices.
She can also do it when her father is sick. Cheering up her father with optimism and open-mindedness.
At a young age, Tao Tao has a thinking ability that exceeds that of children her age. When she heard someone say that she hoped there would be more good doctors like Tao Yong in the future, Tao Tao said: "If everyone really Wish there were more doctors like my dad, then stop hurting them. If doctors are considered our enemies, why should they fight for us? "
"We have only one common enemy, and that is disease! As for my father, what he hopes most is that "there will be no disease in the world, and doctors will cure it." "
What is Dr. Tao Yong doing recently?
Because Dr. Tao Yong's hand was too seriously injured, he can no longer pick up the scalpel and bring light to the patient. This has become his regret and everyone's regret.
Many people are very curious, if Dr. Tao Yong can no longer perform surgery, can he still do the work he likes?
"Can he conduct medical education and scientific research and do some medicine through lectures? Propaganda, and helping clinical treatment through the transformation of scientific research results-surgery is just one way to treat patients, and there are many things I can do. "

Postscript
