Red Net Moment News reporter Liu Dan, correspondent Tao Yan Changsha reported
"Sister Xiao, my throat feels itchy and uncomfortable recently. Please help me take a look." "Sister Xiao, I have taken antihypertensive medicine now, but my legs are now "It's very swollen"... In the clinic of expert Xiao Chunxiang of the Internal Medicine Department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Hunan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Hunan Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine), there is an endless stream of elderly patients.
Due to old age, many chronic diseases such as hypertension , coronary heart disease , and angina pectoris often appear in elderly patients at the same time, and have become diseases that often accompany them and require continuous treatment. Anxiety, uneasiness, and fear of unknown disease development often accompany them, but once they arrive at "Sister Xiao", all their worries are relieved.
"Sister Xiao" as the elderly patient calls her is nearly eighty years old. In the clinic, she always has a friendly smile. Due to a fall and fracture of her leg many years ago, she has a slight limp when she gets up and walks. Over the years, "Sister Xiao" has flexibly used integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine to treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, with remarkable results. She is the most trusted "idol" expert among the "fan groups" of elderly patients.
Being a doctor must be careful and patient, and there is no room for sloppiness.
Xiao Chunxiang’s choice to become a doctor should start from his childhood circumstances.
Xiao Chunxiang was born in Chaling, Zhuzhou, Hunan in 1946, and his family was poor since he was a child. When she was in elementary school, the young Xiao Chunxiang had to walk 15 miles alone and climb over a mountain to reach school; when she was in junior high school, her father passed away. The mother gave birth to a total of 8 children, and only Xiao Chunxiang and 3 brothers survived in good health. For Xiao Chunxiang, reading seems to be the only way to change her destiny. The death of four sisters in the family also made her determined to study medicine.
In 1965, Xiao Chunxiang was admitted to Hunan Medical College (now Xiangya Medical College of Central South University). After graduating in 1970, she entered the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at the People's Hospital of Xiangxi Autonomous Prefecture and stayed there for 22 years. "At that time, I basically stayed in the ward 24 hours a day and was on call. It can be said that I spent my youth there," Xiao Chunxiang said.
While working at
xiangxiang, Xiao Chunxiang went to the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, and the Cardiovascular Research Center of Beijing Anzhen Hospital in 1971 and 1989 for advanced studies, laying a solid foundation in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. In 1992, Xiao Chunxiang came to Hunan Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine as the director of the emergency department. In 1997, he also took over as the director of the hospital's internal medicine department.In the course of many years of medical practice, Xiao Chunxiang was deeply impressed by an emergency case she received. In 1993, a female patient came to the emergency department of Hunan Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine with acute gastroenteritis. After treatment, the patient's condition continued to deteriorate. Xiao Chunxiang asked again and found out that the patient had concealed her relationship status. Combined with her symptoms such as unbearable abdominal pain, she judged that it was most likely a dangerous ectopic pregnancy. After puncture and B-ultrasound examination, the diagnosis was confirmed. Fortunately, after timely surgery, the patient was out of danger.
"As a doctor, you must be careful and patient, and you cannot be careless." This incident decades ago still makes Xiao Chunxiang unforgettable. After decades of practicing medicine, she has encountered countless dangerous situations in the emergency department and cardiovascular medicine department, but this experience made her deeply aware that she should never let down her guard at any time, and this became her The only rules to keep in mind at work.
Flexible use of traditional Chinese and Western medicine to treat cardiovascular diseases
I studied Western medicine when I was studying, but now, many patients come for Xiao Chunxiang’s traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions.
Xiao Chunxiang, who has been engaged in Western medicine for many years, came to Hunan Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine and relied on self-study to supplement the theory of traditional Chinese medicine. The reporter saw in Xiao Chunxiang's clinic that the pages of traditional Chinese medicine books such as "Read Before Clinical Syndrome", "Terminology of Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment of Diseases" and "Prescriptions" have turned yellow after being read countless times.
Through long-term exploration and clinical practice of traditional Chinese medicine theory , Xiao Chunxiang gradually discovered that for chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease that are difficult to be completely cured and require lifelong treatment, integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine treatment is more effective than pure western medicine treatment.
Chen Suai from Chaling, Zhuzhou is Xiao Chunxiang’s fellow villager.In 2015, the 73-year-old was diagnosed with grade 3 hypertension, coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, atrial fibrillation, grade 3 cardiac insufficiency, and cerebral infarction in another hospital. After treatment, he still suffered from recurring dizziness, chest tightness, and pain. , , palpitations, , and edema of both lower limbs. After being introduced, I went to Xiao Chunxiang for treatment. Xiao Chunxiang considered that the patient's heart and liver fire were strong and his heart and kidneys were not harmonious, so he gave Danshen Zaoren Decoction a modified version to nourish blood and calm the nerves, clear the liver and relieve fire, replenish qi and activate blood circulation. After taking this prescription, the patient's symptoms improved significantly.
Grandma Chen was diagnosed with hypertension , 2 diabetes , and renal cancer in another hospital in 2014. After gastric cancer resection, her kidney function was damaged, urinary protein 3+, serum creatinine, urea Increased nitrogen, fatigue, dizziness, poor appetite, dry mouth, and frequent urination. Xiao Chunxiang considered the patient's overall condition and prescribed prescriptions with functions such as promoting fluid and nourishing blood, clearing away heat and quenching thirst, replenishing qi and activating blood, replenishing qi and nourishing yin. The patient began to see results after taking it for more than a month. In about a year, serum creatinine, urea nitrogen and other indicators were completely normal.
"Traditional Chinese medicine focuses on the overall regulation of the human body and pays attention to syndrome differentiation and treatment. For chronic diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, on the basis of Western medicine treatment, traditional Chinese medicine can be flexibly used for conditioning, which can complement each other's advantages and achieve better clinical outcomes. effect," Xiao Chunxiang said.
For the sake of old patients, I must keep reading
"Like the respected Professor Xiao Chunxiang, a benevolent person loves others." On the wall of Xiao Chunxiang's clinic, there is such a piece of stationery, with the four words "A benevolent person loves people" written in Qiujin's brush It stands out under the writing. A benevolent person loves others, these are the four words given to Xiao Chunxiang by the patient Gu Yiyang, and they are also the most vivid portrayal of Xiao Chunxiang in the patient's heart.
"Sister Xiao, I feel better when I come here. I am not irritable anymore even though I have some problems." Luo Sisi, who was born in 1947, is a little younger than Xiao Chunxiang. Like many patients, he affectionately calls her "Sister Xiao" ". Luo Sita underwent angiography in the hospital in 2019 due to coronary heart disease. She has been seeing Xiao Chunxiang for many years since then, and she comes to see her almost every month.
"Sister Xiao is so kind to people. I will contact her anytime if I feel uncomfortable. She will reply every time I send a WeChat message. She is very enthusiastic." Talking about "Sister Xiao", Luo Sisi took the initiative to start chatting, Thumbs up to reporters.
83-year-old Grandma Ling has been seeing Xiao Chunxiang for more than ten years due to coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, etc. Now she has Alzheimer's disease. Sometimes she doesn't even recognize her own children. When she goes to the hospital, she always drags Xiao Chunxiang to chat. I always talk about "Dr. Xiao".
Being serious, responsible, enthusiastic and thoughtful is the common impression that old patients have on Xiao Chunxiang. Because she truly treats patients with kindness, Xiao Chunxiang has become old friends with her patients.
Eighty or ninety percent of Xiao Chunxiang’s patients are older patients. Out of their absolute trust in Xiao Chunxiang’s medical skills and ethics, they have become Xiao Chunxiang’s “hardcore fans”. In order to keep this group of "fans" of elderly patients from going "empty", Xiao Chunxiang has insisted on the habit of sitting in the clinic on Saturday mornings after retiring. In order not to increase the financial burden on the elderly patients, she has insisted on not paying the registration fee for many years. Price increase.
Because Xiao Chunxiang broke her leg in a fall in 2000, she still walks with a slight limp. But every time she went to the clinic, she arrived at the clinic before seven-thirty, and her old working habits had long since become natural. How long can she, who is 76 years old, stay in the outpatient clinic for treatment? Xiao Chunxiang didn't know. She said that as long as her body allows, she will continue to do so. She hopes to solve more diseases and sufferings for the people and give more spare energy to the hospital.
Mentioning the old patient whom Xiao Chunxiang misses most, Xiao Chunxiang made a simple wish, "I hope that through my treatment, the patients can live to be 100 years old."
