"I think this department is very interesting. It is not as everyone imagined. Every time a patient is treated, it is like reading a story." said Tang Shuyu, a resident in the ward of the psychiatric department of the Mental Health Center of Xianyang Central Hospital. Dr. Tang has been practicing medicine for six years and has maintained his love for the psychiatrics department, and is committed to helping every patient return to society normally and start his own new life.
6 years have maintained a love for mental psychology . She communicated with patients and their families with heart
At 1:30 pm on September 22, a reporter from Huashang Daily met Dr. Tang Shuyu who was receiving patients at the outpatient clinic of the Department of Psychiatric Department of Xianyang. He told reporters that he would spend most of the month in the inpatient department of the Psychiatric Department of the Dongjiao Branch of Xianyang Central Hospital, because if you want to help patients, you still have to have more face-to-face contact with them and establish a good trust relationship in order to get into the hearts of patients and understand their illnesses.
"I came from 1992. This is my sixth year in the psychiatric and psychological department. In fact, there were many departments to choose from at that time, but I was quite interested in psychology, so I chose this department now. Through the years of contact with patients, I found that the psychiatric and psychological department is actually very interesting. Because of the special nature of the department, we need to listen to and explore the stories behind each patient in order to find their pathogenic factors. Our case requirements are to be written like a book. Even if you have never seen this person, after reading her case, you can know what the person has experienced, what happened, and what he is experiencing, like a story." Dr. Tang said.
is different from ordinary internal and surgical departments. The cause can be determined through examinations between instruments and doctors. Psychiatric departments often require in-depth communication and layered evaluation of doctors before diagnosis and treatment can be carried out. The most common question they ask is "Doctor, how do you prove that I am sick?" Faced with the patient's question, Dr. Tang said that first of all, you must answer the patient positively with professional but easy-to-understand knowledge. Only when he believes in you and trusts you will be more conducive to the smooth progress of subsequent treatment.
We usually need to communicate not only with patients, but also with our families, because most mental and psychological problems are closely related to family environmental factors, which is also an important part of our search for pathogenic factors. In the later treatment process, the cooperation of family members is also very important. Therefore, during the treatment process, we must use our professional knowledge to help them see hope for recovery and let them hand over themselves to us with greater confidence. Dr. Tang told reporters.
In the psychiatric and psychological department, only professional knowledge is far from enough, because they are often asked by patients about "unimaginative" questions. Therefore, Dr. Tang is still learning knowledge in philosophy, literature and other aspects in his spare time. Only when the doctor's knowledge is enriched can he deal with various problems of the patients with ease. When the patient said something like "Doctor, you are depriving me of the right to be a fool", she said it was really funny and helpless.
She walked into the patient's heart and helped them return to their family and society
Precisely because she often walked into the patient's heart, she could empathize with the patient's pain. Three years ago, Dr. Tang saw a girl who was in her sophomore year. The girl suddenly found that she had problems with her joints and could not walk. However, after her parents took her to the hospital for examination, she found that everything was normal. Finally, she was diagnosed with physical cognitive impairment caused by mental and psychological diseases. At the same age as the best in his twenties, Dr. Tang often chats with her when he saw the girl in such a situation, like a good friend, encouraging the girl to follow the doctor's advice and insist on treatment. Although I was suspended from school in the middle, as the disease gradually recovered, the girl has now passed the master's degree and can live a normal life.
helps patients return to their families and society. This is the ultimate goal of treatment for mental and psychological diseases. Doctors will also face some dangers in this process. Patients' mental illness will cause them to have different emotional and physical manifestations. If they are anxious or irritable, they may experience some extreme behaviors and harm others around them, and doctors are the most vulnerable to harm.Dr. Tang said: "Last year, I was kicked by a male patient and spitted, so during the treatment process, we will carefully evaluate his psychological condition to ensure the safety of medical care. The back cannot be left to the patient."
Whether it is the happiness of the patient after healing or the harm they may bring, Dr. Tang said that it is actually the learning process of doctors, and there are currently a shortage of doctors in psychiatric and psychological departments. At present, there are no more than 200 specialists in psychiatric and psychological departments in Shaanxi Province. Because of the environment, pressure, etc., the number of patients is increasing year by year, which also makes her feel the heavy responsibility. For her, these six years of medical experience are also a process of self-study, which makes her heart stronger and draws life experience from the patient's stories.
Post-Plan: Continue to study majors, and expand to other aspects
Currently, Dr. Tang is about to graduate from graduate school and has passed the attending physician exam. Regarding future plans, she said: "I hope I can continue to make breakthroughs in professional knowledge, expand to teenagers and family education , hold some lectures, popular science activities, etc., so that everyone can pay more attention to mental and psychological aspects."
An Bang, director of the Mental Health Center of Xianyang Central Hospital and director of the First Ward of Psychiatric Department, said in an interview with the reporter on September 25: "Dr. Tang has been very spiritual since he entered our department. He is very serious and motivated. He often participates in various professional-related competitions to train and improve himself, and has achieved good rankings. I hope Dr. Tang will work in the future. First, I hope she can stick to herself, second, remember the concept of patients' no trivial matters, and third, while making progress in work, you can also take good care of your family."
