　　"It has been more than 50 years since I came to Jiaxian County after graduation. I earnestly fulfill my duties as a doctor and treat every patient sincerely. The trust of the patient's family is the greatest affirmation and 'return' to me. The recovery and health of the patient are Growth is my achievement." Lu Shengmei said, rooted in northern Shaanxi, I have no regrets in this life.

　　In 1968, Lu Shengmei graduated from Beijing Second Medical College (now Capital Medical University) and responded to the call of the state. At the age of 24, she left her hometown and came to Jiaxian County in northern Shaanxi.

This native Beijing girl, when she first arrived in Jiaxian, felt the "worldly difference" between this place and Beijing.

　　"At that time, Jiaxian County was very barren. We drank the water from the Yellow River, slept on a kang, and lice and insect bites were common." Lu Shengmei said that such a life was completely unfamiliar to her who had just graduated. .

But she struggled to adapt and put her heart and soul into her work.

　　"At that time, the poor people in Jiaxian County were poor, and the villagers who depended on the sky for food suffered from minor illnesses as well as serious illnesses. Medical knowledge was very lacking, and many patients in the mountains could not get out." Lu Shengmei said that she and her colleagues often smoked When it’s time to enter the village and enter the household, take the initiative to come to the door to send doctors and medicines.

　　Lu Shengmei told reporters that once, she walked for an hour at night to see a doctor at the patient's home.

The house was dimly lit, a mother was sitting on a soil bag, and her child had just been born.

The person next to him is preparing to cut the child's navel with black household scissors.

Lu Shengmei stopped immediately, and carefully wrapped the child's umbilical cord with sterile instruments and dressings.

　　Lu Shengmei was deeply impressed by this unforgettable visit.

She said that the medical knowledge of the masses here is too lacking, and the medical conditions are too backward, and this is where she is most needed.

She must change the medical conditions here and popularize health knowledge.

　　"I will work for the party for 50 years and serve the people of Jiaxian for 50 years." This was the promise made by Lu Shengmei back then.

　　In addition to the harsh living conditions, the challenges at work are not small.

At that time, there were few medical staff in Jiaxian County, and the hospital did not divide into departments. Every doctor had to diagnose and treat diseases in internal, external and pediatric departments.

Lu Shengmei, who graduated from the Department of Pediatrics, seized every opportunity to learn the knowledge of diagnosis and treatment in various disciplines in her spare time, and gradually became a general practitioner with knowledge of internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics, traditional Chinese medicine, and acupuncture.

　　After working in Jiaxian for many years, Lu Shengmei gave up the opportunity to be transferred from Jiaxian many times.

"I am a doctor, and the patients here need me, so I must stay." Lu Shengmei said that she is a kite tied with a string. No matter where she goes, as long as the patient pulls the string, she will return to them. around.

　　In order to treat more children more professionally and effectively, Lu Shengmei is determined to establish an independent pediatric department for Jiaxian Hospital.

To this end, she "runs around", and constantly promotes and emphasizes the necessity and importance of establishing an independent pediatric department, and finally separated the pediatric department independently in 1983.

In order to improve medical and nursing skills, she asked all the nurses in the core to go to Xi'an Children's Hospital to study the technique of venipuncture in batches.

In addition, Lu Shengmei and her colleagues often go to the grassroots to train village doctors, promote planned immunization, and popularize medical knowledge.

　　In 1999, Lu Shengmei, who retired, gave up the opportunity to return to the big city, refused the high-paying employment of the big hospital, and chose to stay in Jiaxian.

In addition to free clinics in hospitals and at home, she is also enthusiastic about volunteering.

　　In the cave, a kang, a few simple pieces of furniture... This is both Lu Shengmei's residence and her clinic.

As long as a patient comes, she will immediately put down her work and carefully diagnose and treat each patient.

After Lu Shengmei retired, she had a free clinic at home.

　　"In Jiaxian, Dr. Lu's home address and phone number are almost unknown. Children in the family are willing to let Dr. Lu see when they are sick, and even people around Jiaxian come here." Zhao Lingling, the parent of the child, said that Dr. Lu is not only skilled in medicine , and is very considerate of patients. For many years, he has adhered to the principle of treating diseases without spending money and treating serious diseases with less money. He has never used antibiotics and tonic drugs indiscriminately.

　　Over the years, "Grandma Lu" has already had a set of experience in "dealing" with crying children: she will draw little people on her left and right thumbs to make the children happy, and observe the children's status in the interaction with the children.

Her mobile phone is seldom turned off, and when she misses a call, she will call one by one, for fear that the patient's family will call and delay the child's diagnosis and treatment.

　　"Sister Lu", "Aunt Lu", "Grandma Lu", "Doctor Lu"... Walking on the streets of Jiaxian, there will always be fellow villagers who greet Lu Shengmei warmly. Many generations of local families are here with Lu Shengmei After seeing a doctor, Dr. Lu also became their "old acquaintance" and "family".

　　"The value of life lies in having beliefs and ideals. For the sake of beliefs and ideals, not afraid of setbacks, persevere, and strive forever, even if it takes ten, twenty years, or even a lifetime of hard work." Lu Shengmei said this, also do so.

　　Elected as the party's 20th National Congress representative, Lu Shengmei said that she felt a great responsibility.

In order to better perform her duties and responsibilities, she went deep into the masses, understood the voices of the masses, and continued to contribute to the construction of grass-roots medical institutions and the improvement of grass-roots pediatric service capabilities.

　　"I'm 78 years old this year. I don't know how much time life has left for me, but I will fulfill my promise of 'endless life, more service'." Lu Shengmei said that as a doctor, there is no retirement age for patients to relieve pain , As long as she can still do it and the patient needs it, she will continue to do it.
