Pediatricians in their 70s stick to the front line of saving lives

Original title: seventy year old pediatrician: "it's very happy to be a doctor."

Liu Shenshi, who is over 70 years old, is about to celebrate his first "Chinese doctor's Day" after his official retirement. Recently, in the office of Neonatology of Guangxi maternal and child health hospital, colleagues specially held a simple and warm celebration for Liu Shengli. The patients and their families who he treated more than ten years ago also attended.

In the crowd, Liu was hale and hearty, thin and straight. "It's a happy thing to be a doctor!" sighed the old expert, who has been a doctor for decades.

"I had a lung infection the day after I was born. It was grandfather Liu who saved me. My parents said that he treated patients like relatives!" Chen Jun, who was present, said that he was 19 years old and admitted to Peking University last year. For many years, the whole family would greet and visit prophet Liu every Spring Festival. Chen Jun is also one of the tens of thousands of newborns treated by prophet Liu. Many of them have kept in touch with grandfather Liu all the time and have endless thanks.

'I participated in the first neonatology department in Guangxi, the first batch of pediatricians entering the delivery room, the first medical team to exchange blood for treatment of jaundice, and the first perinatal medical association. "Working hard for decades, Liu said that it is a kind of happiness to harvest the gratitude of patients and their families.

The Department of Neonatology of Guangxi maternal and child health care hospital was founded in 1981. After more than 30 years of development, with the efforts of his team, the Department has made a positive contribution in reducing various complications of premature infants, improving the success rate and quality of life of premature infants.

The 70 year old pediatrician gains happiness from treating patients

In the Department of Neonatology, children's condition changes rapidly, and sometimes a general practitioner has to go out. Liu said that in the 1980s, the dormitory had not yet been equipped with a telephone. As soon as he heard the doorman slapping the door and saying that there was a rescue task, he immediately sent out no matter how late. Later, when he got a phone, he went to the rescue without saying a word as long as the bell rang in the middle of the night.

Premature infants are small in birth weeks, light in weight, immature in organ development, prone to various complications, and difficult in follow-up care. The joy of welcoming the freshmen is mixed with the worry about the illness. "Doctors should be willing to spend time explaining the illness patiently with their families, calming their emotions, and doing a good job in science popularization. "Liu said.

Prophet Liu is also grateful to his patients. "Every doctor can't improve his medical technology without his patients. Every patient has made contributions to medical progress. 'he clearly remembers his first medical experience after graduation: in the 1960s, Liu Shengli went to the countryside to work in Leye County, Guangxi. There was a 13-year-old girl in the production team suffering from rheumatic heart disease. After diagnosis, he made a special trip to the county hospital far away to get medicine, and then rushed back to the patient's home for treatment. Finally, he stabilized his condition.' their trust gave me strength. This is my first experience To the happiness of being a doctor. '

After his retirement, Liu still insisted on returning to the Department for ward rounds every week and guiding young doctors. "Young people should have a dream, set up a ambition to serve their country, have a strong body, and think more about giving back to society. "Prophet Liu told Chen Junyi at the celebration meeting that this was also his expectation for the small patients who had been treated.
