"As a doctor, you must have a high sense of responsibility. It is a great trust in you for patients to give their lives to you. Respect life and practice medicine, you must have the mentality of walking on thin ice." said Wen Zhong, director of the Otolaryngology Department of Shaoguan Hospital of Qianhai Life Insurance.
More than 30 years ago, Wen Zhong was still studying for a doctorate at Xiangya Medical College of Central South University. When he went out of the clinic, he received a patient with bloodsnoring. After Wen Zhong performed a routine examination on him, no abnormalities were found. At this time, Wen Zhong's doctoral supervisor carefully examined him again and said, "Look carefully again and don't miss any details." Wen Zhong picked up the indirect nasopharyngeal mirror and checked it carefully several times before he found a little abnormality in a very inconspicuous part of nasopharyngeal . After taking biopsy, he confirmed that it was nasopharyngeal carcinoma . This incident deeply touched Wen Zhong and benefited him for life. The examination of every patient needs to be carefully done to ensure that there are no missing parts, which has become his professional habit in his bones.
Time passes by like a flash. After many years, Wen Zhong has grown from a young medical student to a professor of otolaryngology with profound qualifications and titles. He cures countless patients and has trained more than 30 doctoral and master's students. Coincidentally, when he took his graduate student to the clinic, he met a patient with ears and on one side. After seeing it, his student directly performed an audiological examination on the patient. The result report showed that there was tympanic effusion and he planned to be admitted to the hospital for surgery. At this time, Wen Zhong relied on his rich experience and comprehensive and meticulous guidelines to ask the student to have another nasopharyngeal scope for the patient, and it was found that there was a lump in the nasopharyngeal area, which was confirmed to be nasopharyngeal carcinoma after biopsy. It is both a coincidence and a necessity. Careful habits avoid two misdiagnosis.
In the career of a doctor, it is inevitable that there will be some very urgent cases. Wen Zhong said: "For some people suffering from dangerous and acute diseases, the doctor's judgment and decision-making in a few seconds may determine his life and death."
He once met a young patient in his twenties. When he was sent to the emergency room, he had a painful expression and shortness of breath. The young man who sent her said, "Doctor, doctor, look at my girlfriend quickly, she can't breathe." Wen Zhong checked the patient and asked in detail about the situation and learned that the patient suddenly had shortness of breath and there was no sign of relief in the short term. Based on his years of experience, it should be acute epiglottis . This condition is very dangerous, and if not treated immediately, the patient will be suffocated to death.
Wen Zhong made a quick decision and decided to perform tracheotomy on the spot. He immediately notified the outpatient nurse and carried the patient to the outpatient treatment room. He raced against time to complete the tracheotomy. After the operation, the patient's breathing returned to normal. After the electron laryngoscopy, it was confirmed that it was acute epiglottis. If the rescue was not prompt and the admission to the hospital in accordance with the routine procedures, this life might not be saved.
"Responsibility and conscience are the original intention, prudence and carefulness are the basic qualities, and insight into finding the roots and laws through complex appearances is also indispensable." Wen Zhong said that behind these traits is decades of deep cultivation and valuable experience summarized in countless times in the face of patients.
Now, Wen Zhong joins Qianhai Life Insurance Shaoguan Hospital with his valuable experience and empowers the entire otolaryngology department team, aiming to provide each patient with a more rigorous, comprehensive and authoritative diagnosis, so that they can receive more timely, professional and more effective treatment.
