Today, more than 900 days have passed since the medical injury incident. What is the current situation of Dr. Tao Yong?
In this issue of Ziya's Chronicle of Children's Interesting Characters, we will take you to see ophthalmologist Tao Yong's pursuit of light.
After completing his studies, he returned to China to bring light to patients.
Tao Yong, born in 1980, was admitted to Peking University School of Medicine in 1997, and 4 years later, he studied ophthalmology. With excellent results, he finally received a doctorate. , after completing his studies, he became the attending physician at the Department of Ophthalmology, Peking University People's Hospital, and was given the opportunity to study in Germany.
Tao Yong's superb academic ability in eye diseases won the appreciation of his tutor. The tutor once sent an invitation to let him stay in Germany to continue research, but Tao Yong rejected it.
Because he clearly knows that there are many patients with eye diseases in China and more ophthalmologists are needed. Tao Yong is very good at diagnosing and treating uveitis. Only top doctors in the world can perform the surgery. He is one of the few doctors in China who can perform this surgery. one.
Therefore, Tao Yong chose to return to China and became a master's tutor at the age of 35. In 2016, he came to Beijing Chaoyang Hospital and became the deputy director and chief physician of the Department of Ophthalmology. In his 11 years of practice, he has devoted himself to his duties and professionalism, and has served countless patients. Bringing light to patients with eye diseases.
He is very serious about his work. He seems to be born to be a doctor. He spends most of his life saving patients. He spends more time with patients every day than his family. His overly busy work has caused him to have trouble taking care of his life. , like a three-year-old child, in need of care.
Fortunately, he has a virtuous wife and a well-behaved and sensible daughter, who help him share some of the pressure in life.
Tao Yong goes out every Monday with a large bag of clean clothes. When Tao Yong comes home every Friday night, the bag of clothes has become dirty. His wife will help him take care of his daily affairs. I also have my own job.
So he sent his daughter to boarding school when she was very young, and the family could get together every weekend. Even so, her daughter understood her parents' decision and knew that their parents were doing something greater.
is such a kind doctor who devotes himself wholeheartedly to his work and saves countless patients with eye diseases with both hands. He deserves the gratitude of patients and praise from their families and medical staff. But who could have expected that one day, he would be A patient he was treating with his own hands chased him with a knife.
Why did this patient do this? Let's look down.
After experiencing medical trouble, he continued to pursue the path of light after recovery
One day in 2019, Tao Yong received a patient named Cui Zhenguo. His myopia was as high as 1,500 degrees and he was almost blind, so he wanted to restore his vision through surgery.
But with this degree of myopia, no doctor in the general ophthalmology department or even the whole city dared to perform this operation. Only Dr. Tao Yong stood up and gave the patient hope.
On the day of the operation, Tao Yong's back disease recurred, but he still endured the back pain and completed this extremely difficult operation with superb medical skills. Tao Yong not only restored more than half of Cui Zhenguo's vision, but also helped him save the cost of the operation. , I have exhausted my benevolence and righteousness.
Originally thought that Cui Zhenguo would be grateful to Tao Yong for regaining his sight, but because Tao Yong had not completely cured his eye disease, his vision was still blurry, and his recovery was not ideal, he thought that the operation had failed, and he felt sorry for Tao Yong. I was dissatisfied and thought he was doing it on purpose, so I took revenge.
On the afternoon of January 20, 2020, Cui Zhenguo brought a knife to the ophthalmology clinic of the hospital. After seeing Tao Yong sitting in the consulting room, he was overwhelmed by hatred and rushed to the hospital with the knife. He went in and slashed straight towards Tao Yong.
That knife could be said to have been directed towards Tao Yong’s life, but there were two women in the clinic at that time. One woman brought her daughter with an eye disease to the consultation. After seeing the murderer, she couldn’t even think about it. Without thinking, he blocked it with his hand.
It was through this block that Tao Yong escaped death. However, in the process of avoiding and resisting, Cui Zhenguo, who had lost his mind and was very strong, was stabbed with a knife.
Tao Yong escaped from the clinic covered in blood. Cui Zhenguo quickly chased after him. He seemed to have no intention of letting him go. The screams of medical staff, patients and others were also heard around him. Tao Yong ran all the way from the seventh floor. To the sixth floor, blood was left everywhere he passed. During
, two medical staff were stabbed and injured by Cui Zhenguo when they were fighting. It was not until more and more people came forward that they worked together to control Cui Zhenguo.
But at this time, Tao Yong's head was chopped three times, and there were multiple fractures in his left and right arms, left hand and back. Finally, he lost consciousness due to excessive bleeding and fell to the ground. He was pushed to the operating room for rescue.
In that winter, which was supposed to be the Spring Festival for family reunion, Tao Yong's family lived in fear. After Tao Yong came out of the operating room, he had been lying in the intensive care unit with his life in danger.
After two weeks of hard work by the doctors, Tao Yong was finally out of danger. The family gathered around his hospital bed, shedding tears.
After Tao Yong woke up, he learned that his left hand was seriously injured and may never be able to undergo surgery again.
This is undoubtedly the heaviest blow to an ophthalmologist, but Tao Yong still wanted to pick up the scalpel, so he had to undergo lengthy rehabilitation training.
Can Tao Yong finally return to the operating table? Let's look down.
Tao Yong cannot fall, and he is unwilling to fall. Those are not only his own hands, but also the hands of hope that can bring light to patients with eye diseases. Therefore, Tao Yong actively accepts rehabilitation training, but this process is quite painful. .
At first, Tao Yong had almost no feeling in his left hand due to fractures, severed nerves and muscles. He had to soak his left hand in warm water every day and press the edema area to stimulate blood circulation and restore consciousness.
Tao Yong was pleasantly surprised when he regained some feeling in his left hand. Then came the pain caused by a little stretching of the muscles. He could only endure it, continue soaking in water every day, and continue to press his hand, just to make his left hand produce more pain as soon as possible. Much awareness.
At that time, Tao Yong felt that his left hand no longer belonged to him. He could not control his left hand and his fingers were very stiff.
In order to activate his fingers, he could only ask the doctor to break his finger joints. Every stretch, from the skin to the bones to the nerves, was painful. Tao Yong was often sweating profusely in pain, and his face was distorted because of the pain. .
After a long period of rehabilitation training, unfortunately, Tao Yong could no longer pick up the scalpel with his left hand and became disabled forever.
Regarding Cui Zhenguo’s behavior, Tao Yong responded regretfully: If time comes again, I will not treat him. And Cui Zhenguo also accepted legal sanctions and paid the corresponding price because of his impulse.
Although Tao Yong can no longer perform surgeries on patients, Tao Yong still has not given up on bringing light to patients. He still has a brain full of experience and wisdom, which can engage in scientific research and medical education on eye diseases, and cultivate more excellent ophthalmologists. Doctor, he can still see patients.
In the days that followed, he also gave many lectures in various places and appeared on medical-related variety shows to promote knowledge about eye diseases and let more people pay attention to the plight of patients with eye diseases.
Tao Yong has not stopped helping patients with eye diseases. He has overcome all difficulties and established a "Photoblindness Plan Eye Disease Funding Project" to provide financial assistance to patients under the age of 18 who suffer from eye diseases and desire light, but whose family financial conditions are difficult.
Now, Tao Yong, who has gradually recovered from that horrific medical accident, has become calm and calm when faced with Cui Zhenguo's behavior again. He jokingly responded that if it weren't for his superb medical skills, he would have recovered so much. How could the patient's eyesight be so accurate when he slashed at me?
Tao Yong, 42 years old, is still moving forward optimistically and bravely on the road of chasing light. He always believes that the world is full of more kindness, so he is willing to bring light to more people.
also hopes that the relationship between doctors and patients can be eased and they can understand each other more.
