Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 9th. On September 9th, "Xinhua Daily Telegraph " published a report titled "Spreading health and hope in the place where Gesang flowers bloom - the footprints of Chinese volunteer doctors' snowy plateau" .
Qinghai-Tibet Plateau , vast mountains and rivers, vast rivers.
is located in Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in the heart of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It is known as "the source of rivers, the clan of famous mountains, the land of yak , and the hometown of singing and dancing". In midsummer here, the mountains and rivers are full of vitality.
htmlOn August 6, a team of Chinese volunteer doctors jointly initiated by famous medical experts came to Yushu, Qinghai. 32 volunteer doctors from all over the world, who spent 6 days and 5 nights, traveled to many counties and township health centers, including Nangqian, , Zaduo, and Chengduo, and crossed several nearly 5,000 meters in a plateau with an average altitude of more than 4,000 meters. The pass has a trekking journey of more than 1,000 kilometers, nearly 3,000 free medical consultations, 26 surgeries, and 6 county-level Chinese volunteer doctor expert workstations have been established to sow health and hope in the places where Gesanghua is in full bloom.
Everyone broke the record
"Can you ask them to show us the movie?"
"How long can they stay here and what if they leave?"
"Can we go in and see them?"
"Can we go in and see them?"
The first stop is Nangqian County , more than 160 kilometers south of Yushu Prefecture. After arriving at the county people's hospital, they entered the working state without stopping, discussing the patient's various examination results one by one to form a diagnosis and treatment plan.
Here, volunteer doctors are going to undergo more than 20 hip and knee replacement surgeries. Just as the doctors were discussing the plan, many local patients unknowingly surrounded the door of the office.
"I'm here, they're here these days, don't worry." The local doctor told the villagers in Tibetan, which calmed down their anxiety.
came to a strange place, was in a strange working environment, facing unfamiliar patients, and with language barriers, Ling Feng, the first request of the initiator of the Chinese volunteer doctor team and chief expert of the neurosurgery department of Xuanwu Hospital, was to let the medical treatment The team members meet with each patient in charge and communicate fully.
She repeatedly emphasized to everyone: "For a hospital, more than 20 surgeries may not be a big deal, but for patients, they may experience this surgery in their lifetime. No matter how small the probability of an accident is, if it happens to a person , that is 100%. So every detail must be carefully checked, and you cannot be careless at all."
55-year-old Ni Zhong, Baizha Village, Nangqian County, was the first patient to undergo knee replacement surgery that day. For many years, the elderly have been treating oral medications, acupuncture, etc., but the effect is not good. After learning that Chinese volunteer doctors and experts were coming to Nangqian County People's Hospital, Ni Zhong came to see the doctor as soon as possible, accompanied by his family.
After careful examination and preoperative preparation, Chinese volunteer doctor orthopedic experts quickly performed knee replacement surgery on the elderly. The operation took only two hours and successfully relieved the elderly's pain for more than 20 years.
Chinese volunteer doctor and chief physician of orthopedics at Xuzhou First People's Hospital
was assigned to 5 knee replacement surgeries. He told reporters that in high-altitude areas, it is very common for elderly people to suffer from hip and knee joint diseases. Based on the living habits of herders, locals need to squat and milk, and also dig Cordyceps on the mountain, which is very unfavorable to the hip and knee joints.Dojie, a patient in his 60s, told reporters through his family that he used to endure knee pain, and if the pain is severe, take some painkillers to relieve it. However, as he grows older, the pain becomes more and more obvious, which seriously affects his life. I will take advantage of it recently. Experts from a large hospital wanted to do the surgery at their free medical consultation "at the doorstep". During the operation of
, Ma Liwu specifically asked the local doctor to stand aside and carefully explained each operation and precautions. He said that coming to Yushu to treat the people free of charge is of course helpful to local patients, but more importantly, the teaching work during the diagnosis and treatment process. We must keep advanced and mature technologies in order to truly improve the health level of local residents.
Another team of volunteer doctors from the free clinic team passed through the complex and dangerous winding mountain road and arrived at Jiqu Township Central Health Center in Nangqian County, it was already past 4 pm. What experts didn't expect was that there was already a lot of people here.
It turned out that the patients started waiting early when they knew the experts were coming.
The altitude sickness caused by the continuous crossing of the pass along the way has not been relieved, and there is no time to pack up your luggage and settle down. The experts each have an oxygen cylinder and quickly start receiving the doctor. Until the last patient was seen, it was 11 o'clock in the evening.
The next morning, I originally planned to open the clinic at 8:30, but the patients started queuing up at around 6 o'clock, and the doctors entered the working state in advance. At the end of the day, everyone broke their own visit records, and the number of doctors even reached the number of outpatient clinics in a department in the mainland for a day.
In the clinic of the ultrasound department, MD Department attending physician Wang Tao picked up the ultrasound probe with his right hand, picked up the oxygen bottle with his left hand, took two mouthfuls, and quickly took two mouthfuls, then quickly checked the patient. "We have been seeing it since 8 am and 9 pm, and we just slap a few bites of food in the middle." Wang Tao said, "The patients started queuing up from six to seven in the morning. We really couldn't bear it. No matter how late they were, they had to finish it. ." 》
Jiqu Township Central Health Center Director Gama Naowu said: "The arrival of volunteer doctors has made local herders very pleased. They have brought high-quality medical resources to the grassroots level, and the knowledge and skills imparted are also very useful. We hope In the future, we can have more opportunities to learn and communicate. "
's high-intensity work has caused Chen Mingguang, the leader of the surgical team of Chinese volunteer doctors and director of the orthopedic department of Shaanxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, to relapse and the pain is unbearable. But he still insisted that he completed 21 operations with three other orthopedic experts in two and a half days, which was much beyond the scheduled plan. He said: "I can't bear to refuse when I see the patient's illness and anticipated eyes."
" last kilometer "
0:00 on August 8, at Jiqu Township Health Center, Nangqian County at around 9 pm on August 8th, at Jiqu Township Health Center, Nangqian County After the day of free medical consultation, the medical team members were resting after dinner. Some were communicating with local doctors, and some were asking colleagues from the acupuncture and rehabilitation department to do back relaxation therapy.
At this time, a Tibetan father with a child in his arms came to everyone and asked anxiously if he could see his child.
What comes into everyone's eyes is a thin Tibetan child crying, his tongue stretched out and he drools, which is very painful. His father said in unskilled Chinese that the child had a tongue problem and could not eat, which had been several days. Wen Luye, a volunteer doctor who received the treatment, wanted to bring the child over, but the child cried and refused to touch him.
"I consider that it is a serious malnutrition caused by the development of the gastrointestinal and digestive duct glands and smooth muscles. You can use traditional Chinese medicine massage to solve the current symptoms." Wen Luye said.
After three times of spinal massage, the child immediately stopped drooling, his tongue returned to his mouth, and his crying stopped. Wen Luye reached out to take the child, but the child stopped resisting and gradually smiled on his face.
The father of the child said in Tibetan: "You are so amazing, thank you!"
Wen Luye said that as a Chinese volunteer doctor, I feel very honored to be able to treat Tibetan people on the spot in the hometown of Tibetans.
Due to the limitations of natural environmental conditions and economic development level, medical technology in the plateau areas is relatively backward, and many diseases of local residents cannot be treated in a timely and effective manner. In addition, the incidence of congenital heart disease in children here is significantly higher than that in other regions of the country. .
Next to the Jiexiao Township Health Center in Nangqian County, there is a boarding primary school where more than 200 children are studying here. The volunteer doctor team made a temporary decision to conduct a physical examination for the children for free.
After lunch, the children came down to the health center under the guidance of the teacher and lined up for inspection. To endure the headache caused by altitude reflux, the experts kept using hearing aids to carefully screen each child's condition, and quickly sucked two mouthfuls of oxygen while waiting for the next child to sit down.
Hou Xiaoping, chief physician of the Department of Cardiology at the Air Force General Hospital, accidentally fell down when she got up because of severe altitude recurrence, and her nose was broken, but after taking a rest of oxygen, she insisted on continuing to work.
On the same day, the medical team screened 6 cases of congenital heart disease, 23 cases of myocarditis, 7 cases of sinus tachycardia and sinus arrhythmia, and informed the school teacher to provide advice for the next step of diagnosis and treatment.
"I know that the conditions in the plateau are relatively poor, but it was really unexpected after I came up." Li Jianhua, deputy chief physician of the Fourth Medical Center of the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army of China, said, "Here diabetes and heart disease drugs are not very complete. In addition, , Due to irregular diets among local Tibetans, high oiliness in food, and less intake of vegetables and fruits, the stomach, gallbladder, and other digestive system diseases are generally high. "
Li Jianhua said that here, everyone has discovered stomach disease "Cruel" - painkiller. "Because the medical treatment is too far away, take a pain pill first whenever there is a pain. If you can withstand it, you can withstand it. However, pain pills do not cure the disease, which will also stimulate the stomach. In the end, the disease is not cured and the stomach will be damaged. "Li Jianhua said.
Ling Feng sighed: "For the plateau area, there is probably still a lot of work to be done to open the 'last mile'. We are here to help solve this problem."
Chinese volunteer doctor team built 12 rehabilitation and health care facilities in Qinghai. In the cabin, each cabin is equipped with 10 types of rehabilitation equipment, 3 types of physiotherapy instruments, , electrocardiogram machine, , blood pressure monitor, , smart screen projection color TV and other equipment, which can meet the basic rehabilitation and treatment needs.
At the Jieduo Township Health Center of Zaduo County, a two-hour drive from Xiaoxiang, local herder Dorje Zhuoma is using equipment for rehabilitation training. She said that in the past, she didn't know that she needed rehabilitation training after seeing a doctor. Now she can also conduct regular rehabilitation training in a health center not far from home. She didn't dare to think about it before.
"If clinical medicine , rehabilitation medicine , preventive medicine is regarded as an aircraft, then prevention is the 'head', while rehabilitation and clinical are the two 'wings'. Only the same attention is paid to Only by rehabilitation and clinical practice can we pass the journey of life smoothly." Ling Feng vividly compares it.
Yushu Maternal and Child Health Hospital Dima Danzhou, director of , said that the service of volunteer doctors "delivered to their doorstep" has solved the problem of actual difficulty in seeing a doctor for Tibetan compatriots. In the future, to open up this "last mile", it may still be necessary to still open up this "last mile" in the future. More "movable" medical resources.
The dream of Tibetan girls
Yushu girl Sang Zhou Lamao (hereinafter referred to as Sang Zhou) is 20 years old this year and is a junior student in clinical medicine at Qinghai University School of Medicine. By chance, Sang Zhou accidentally saw the free clinic mobilization meeting of the Chinese volunteer doctors' visit to Qinghai.
"As a medical student, I have never seen so many expert teachers from major hospitals across the country at once. At that moment, my legs were shaking with excitement." Sang Zhou told reporters, "I tried to ask the staff, Can I go with the team as a volunteer? Although my medical expertise is not enough, I can speak both Tibetan and Chinese. The teachers go to the Tibetan area to go to the countryside for free medical treatment. I may be able to help me."
Sang Zhou studied medicine because Has experienced the Yushu earthquake. "At that time, my mother and sister were hit by falling stones, and it was the People's Liberation Army who rescued them. My mother didn't know Chinese and couldn't ask the names of the kind-hearted people who helped them. It was a pity. But she never had this kind of kindness. Forgot, so my mom especially hopes that I can become a good doctor to help those who need treatment,” Sang Zhou said.
Sang Zhou was so excited that he couldn't say anything when he met Ling Feng and the experts from the Chinese volunteer doctor team. "As long as we can help others, I will be willing to pay any price. Because we have received help from others, and now we have the ability to help others, I am really happy."
"We just miss a volunteer who is proficient in the local language. Sang Zhou's appearance was too timely." Chen Mingguang said.
This made Sang Zhou overjoyed.
At the morning of the next morning, Sang Zhou simply packed his luggage, put on the red volunteer vest, and embarked on the journey of volunteer internship as he wished.Before leaving, my mother repeatedly reminded Sang Zhou to study hard with the teachers and help more and do more things.
When she arrived at Nangqian County People's Hospital, Sang Zhou helped volunteer doctors sort out the patient's situation, arrange the operation time and bed, enter the operating room to observe, and assist the doctor in the rounds. This Tibetan girl was everywhere.
In the busy intervals of the operating room, Sang Zhou and another Chinese volunteer doctor, Duan Desheng, deputy chief physician of orthopedics at Anyang Third People's Hospital, also had to go to the ward for routine rounds to check the patient's postoperative recovery.
" intensively performed 21 surgeries in three days and two nights. Our biggest worry is that we have language barriers and make mistakes in the middle. Thanks to Sang Zhou, we helped us repeatedly check the condition with our family, and after the operation, we conducted translation rounds for us, and communicated with patients. "The surgical team member and director of the Orthopedic Department of the Affiliated Hospital of Shaanxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine told reporters, "The postoperative care of orthopedic surgery is very important. The more we communicate with our family, the more we feel at ease."
" The herdsmen here need it too much Helped. "After returning from the rounds, Sang Zhou sighed, "I saw that many patients have received good treatment, and I am now more respectful to the profession of doctors. If I have the opportunity, I hope to go to remote places to help more Those who need it. ”
In Tibetan, “Sangzhou” means to realize a good wish, while “ramao” means fairy. "My parents gave me this name, hoping that my dream will come true. Now, my dream is to become an angel in white like a volunteer doctor." Sang Zhou Lamao said.
Ling Feng often said that Chinese volunteer doctors should do "conscientious work" with practical actions. "Being able to help others is the greatest happiness. This feeling of being needed is the compassionate feeling of every doctor from the heart. It is also the highest level of medical practice. "
