Changsha Evening News, December 6 (all-media reporter Peng Fang, correspondent Su Qingmei) What should a good doctor be?
Chen Ying, an intern at Changsha Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital (Changsha No. 8 Hospital), found the answer from a patient's thank you letter.
In the past two days, a thank-you letter signed "an old man" has been spread in the circle of friends of the hospital's medical staff, which has triggered everyone's thinking on "how to be a good doctor."
On the 6th, the reporter learned in the hospital that the old man who wrote the letter was named Zhou Guoying, an 81-year-old retired teacher.
During the recent hospitalization in the Department of Gastroenterology, the old man used the treatment gap to record the stories with the medical staff and compiled them into a thank you letter of nearly 4,000 words.
The stories of doctors and patients about "listening", "instructing" and "smiling" connected the warm memories of her visits and hospitalization.
Worry
Zhou Guoying thinks that he is "a patient who is sensitive and thinks too much, and is a type of patient that doctors do not like."
Some time ago, she visited the Gastroenterology Clinic for several times due to more serious chronic gastric disease, and finally chose to be hospitalized.
In the outpatient clinic, Li Yilan, the director of the Gastroenterology Department, and Xu Xianfeng, the deputy chief physician, visited her many times. The two doctors "always listened patiently to the patient's statement, never interrupted rashly, looked attentive, and thoughtful light in their eyes." , Let the patient trust and relax instantly... After prescribing the prescription, they always instruct the patient how to take, where to pay the bill, where to get the medicine, and even write a few floors on the prescription corner and make a circle. For fear that the patient will not understand".
On the day of admission, Zhou Guoying went to the doctor's office many times to talk and consult because of concerns about her condition.
How has the condition changed?
Why modify the previous medication plan?
What are the side effects of the new medicine... The doctor in charge Yang Tingting stopped her work time and time again, patiently listening and answering.
Until 20 o'clock that day, Zhou Guoying found that Yang Tingting was still busy in the office. Upon asking, she learned that she had admitted 18 inpatients that morning and had to work overtime to write in the hospital records.
rest assured
Zhou Guoying is a "frequent visitor" in the doctor's office. She will be warmly received when meeting other doctors on duty. It is Dr. Huang Lei who impressed her especially.
During the conversation with Zhou Guoying, Huang Lei learned that she was particularly afraid of being alone when she was older, so he asked the 56-bed patient in the ward to chat with her more.
When she was discharged from bed 56, Huang Lei not only instructed her to pay attention after returning home, but also specially asked her to stay one more night, waiting for the new patient to arrive the next day before leaving.
"Listening to her (patient in bed 56) said this, I heard my heart pounding, tears of gratitude quietly falling. This is clearly the care for the dearest and beloved talent!" Zhou Guoying wrote.
Zhou Guoying is also very grateful to the nursing team of Gastroenterology.
The head nurse Yu Lu always calls her Teacher Zhou with a smile on her face, and tells her "call me whenever you have anything."
Yu Lu's exemplary role affects every nurse in Corey. Everyone's smiling service makes the elderly feel relieved, and often makes her forget her illness.
Especially the responsible nurse Tang Jing, who often helps the elderly open the water, heat up the food, and accompany her to do check-ups, and smiles in her ward every day before leaving get off work and says "See you tomorrow."
Tang Jing knew that Zhou Guoying was afraid of pain, and his blood vessels were brittle and easy to break. Every time he took a shot, he was very careful and gentle. One shot was in place. After the shot, he would ask "How is it like the last time?" There was no bruise for a few days, Zhou Guoying often praised her as a "marks shooter".
During the hospitalization, the elderly Zhou Guoying used the treatment gap to record the story with the medical staff and wrote five pages full of paper.
Warm heart
During the hospitalization period, Zhou Guoying used the treatment gap to carefully record the experience of many times of medical treatment in Changsha Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
The old man remembered the names of every medical staff who helped her: orthopedic and traumatologist Yi Hanwen, radiologist Xiang Hongping, gastroenterologist Shi Xiaoling, and anorectal physician Li Yijun.
When he was discharged from the hospital, Zhou Guoying sorted the five-page doctor-patient story into a thank you letter of nearly 4,000 words, and asked someone to print it out and hand it to the medical staff.
The old man wrote at the end of the thank-you letter: "A good doctor is a good medicine... It's great to know you!"
Reading Zhou Guoying's thank-you letter, the medical staff were also deeply moved.
"We just did our duties as medical staff, but we were seen by the patients bit by bit and remembered in our hearts, which made our hearts warm." Li Yilan said.
