Having been a doctor for more than ten years, Liu Gang did not expect that one day he would lie on the operating table. In order not to delay the patient's treatment, Liu Gang decided to insist on "falling down" after completing 5 cardiopulmonary bypass operations. On July 28, Liu Gang and his patient entered the same ward and recovered after surgery.

"I am sick,

What about the children's surgery? "

　　"Brother Liu, you must get well soon and continue to be our guardian angel." On July 28, in the inpatient ward of Chengdu No. 1 People's Hospital, several children with congenital heart disease crowded in front of Liu Gang, two of them Liu Gang just pushed off the operating table a few days ago.

　　The children are recovering well, able to run and jump, lively and lovely, and painted a watercolor for Dr. Liu himself. Liu Gang showed his signature smile while taking over the painting.

　　A few days ago, Liu Gang was an extracorporeal bypass doctor at the heart surgery operating table. He and his colleagues participated in the hospital's "Saving Heart Action" and performed operations on more than 50 children with congenital heart disease from Dege County.

　　In mid-July, the third batch of 6 children with congenital heart disease arrived at the Dacheng City First People's Hospital. In order to let the children recover before the end of the summer vacation, the doctors worked overtime.

　　Liu Gang is responsible for cardiopulmonary bypass during the operation. When the heart stops beating during the operation, he relies on cardiopulmonary bypass to maintain his life. Liu Gang plays a key role in every operation of the children.

　　On July 15th, a 10-year-old boy's congenital heart disease operation was completed. Liu Gang got off the operating table and felt a pain in his neck.

　　During the physical examination of the hospital staff more than two months ago, Liu Gang found a mass in the thyroid gland in his neck, and the doctor asked him to observe closely. Ouyanghui, director of the Department of Cardiac Surgery, saw Liu Gang touching his neck, and quickly contacted for a puncture examination. During the examination, the doctor felt very hard through the puncture needle, which indicates that the mass may deteriorate.

　　"Torture, worry, anxiety..." Recalling the few days waiting for the results, Liu Gang said that in addition to fear of cancer, he was also very anxious. He was the only major in cardiopulmonary bypass in the general practice. "Last Monday, the results of the examination came out. It is highly suspected that papillary thyroid carcinoma must be operated on as soon as possible to prevent the condition from getting worse.

After the last operation

The doctor can finally "fall down"

　　When Liu Gang learned of the sad news, four of the six children in the third batch of "Saving Heart" had surgery, and two were waiting for surgery. At the same time, there are other patients in the Department of Cardiac Surgery. Most operations require extracorporeal circulation. "If I lose the link, it will affect the patient's treatment."

　　After communicating with the surgeon, Director Yan Hongli, Liu Gang decided to postpone the time of his operation and "fall down" after the operation of the existing patient was completed.

　　On the afternoon of July 25th, Liu Gang participated in the Ebstein correction surgery for the last child of the third batch of "Operation to Save the Heart", an 11-year-old boy, Tashi. When he personally pushed Tashi out of the operating room, Liu Gang let out a long sigh of relief: The next operation is finally his turn.

　　At the beginning of the operation, Liu Gang did not tell his family members. His colleagues personally pushed Liu Gang into the operating room, accompanied by the director of the department, Ouyang Hui.

　　The operation went smoothly. Although it was a large-scale general anesthesia operation, due to the superb skills of the surgeon Yan Hongli and the minimally invasive incision, Liu Gang was able to get out of bed and walk around the next day. Director Yan Hongli said that Liu Gang's lump was discovered early and it is hopeful that it will be cured.

Colleague: I am afraid of causing trouble to others,

He takes all

　　On July 28, Liu Gang took the initiative to return to cardiac surgery. Because the fourth batch of children with congenital heart disease in the "Saving Heart Action" have already arrived at the hospital, Liu Gang needs to participate in the operation of the children. While recovering from the heart surgery hospital, Liu Gang can also familiarize himself with medical records, participate in department consultations, and prepare for extracorporeal circulation techniques for the fourth batch of children's operations.

　　When the fourth batch of children learned about Liu Gang, they ran to his ward, cut fruits, served food and handed water, and did what they could for him.

　　Because he didn't want his parents to worry about his illness, he kept secrets about his illness, and his parents still don't know. Parents can't be by their side, but the children bring warmth unexpectedly. Liu Gang took the fruit and said repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you!"

　　"Gangzi is such a good person, for fear of causing trouble to others, one person will carry everything." The head nurse Qing Shan said, Liu Gang is a "Liu Sanhao" in the department, always thinking about patients and always helping colleagues. . Be patient and meticulous with patients, and actively adjust and cooperate with everyone at work. Every extracorporeal circulation plan is done extremely meticulously.

　　After Liu Gang fell ill, his colleagues advised him that it was important to treat the illness first, but he chose to persist. Ouyang Hui said: “We respect the choice of the Gangzi, but the doctor is also a flesh and blood body, so the brothers and sisters in the department take turns to take care of them, personally boil the chicken soup and bring them to provide as much logistics support as possible for the Gangzi.”7 On 29th, the hospital’s party committee secretary Zhao Cong, president Chen Zejun, vice president Wang Yongqiang and representatives of the hospital labor union went to the ward to visit Liu Gang. Liu Gang said that he will continue to do a good job in treating patients with cardiac surgery without delaying postoperative physical recovery and ensuring the quality of cardiac surgery.
