The story behind this patient's request to "jump the queue" for surgery is touching and heartbreaking.

"In the first half of the article, I thought it was a stubborn patient, but later I realized it was a doctor's heart."

The original text of Prof. Xu Wen's friend circle is shown above.

More than 5,000 days

He deals with rays every day

He is 48 years old, not tall, wearing a black short-sleeved shirt, with a lot of gray hair, carrying a case bag, standing alone at the corner of the stairs of the first-floor hall, waiting for an eye examination.

In the strict sense, Ye brother is not a clinician, but every day and clinical patients deal with - he is a technician in the catheterization room of a hospital in Wenling.

The catheterization room is primarily interventional, and its daily dealings include interventions for heart attacks, traumatic bleeding, chemotherapy, aneurysms, and strokes, which all require the use of interventional equipment.

In Brother Ye's department, there is only one piece of interventional equipment, and in recent years, with the increasing number of patients and interventional procedures, the equipment is running almost 24 hours a day. And when the equipment is on, he has to be on.

As a technician, Ye's duty is to ensure the normal operation of the machine, which is also related to the safety and success of the patient's surgery, and must not make a little mistake.

Before the start of each operation, he needs to check the function of the equipment, warm up the machine; each operation, he needs to monitor the whole process, and if necessary, he has to put on a heavy lead suit, into the catheterization room to help; after the end of each operation, he needs to review the equipment, debugging the instrument.

From 2003 into the department, such a set of operating procedures, Ye brother repeated 15 years, repeated more than 5000 days, repeated more than 100,000 times. Because of the special nature of the work, he was also called by his colleagues "and rays every day to deal with people".

High myopia + cataracts

To see the queue for fear of delaying the work

You may not have thought that, for Brother Ye, every day is an emergency, especially at night.

The most exaggerated one night, the catheterization room in a row to do 18 surgeries, the main surgeon changed a few waves, while the management of the instrumentation he stayed up all night until 5:00 a.m. to get off work.

Speaking of which, Ye's wife is also quite aggrieved that her husband went to work at 8:00 am during the day and got off at 8:00 pm, and didn't stay at home for a while, and the hospital said there was an emergency, and the couch was not even hot, and the man ran to the hospital.

For Brother Ye, this has been the work norm.

He has never asked for annual leave, "is a bit of hard work, but not because I delayed it." He is a person who worries about the inconvenience he causes to his colleagues and the hospital, even this time to see the doctor and surgery, also came alone.

Brother Ye wears a pair of glasses with particularly thick lenses. He said, I grew up with poor eyesight, high myopia, and now both eyes are more than 2000 degrees.

A high degree of myopia does not affect his daily work, and he has never made a mistake at work. In this regard, his description of the special real, "(equipment buttons) can not see it, then close a little closer to see, certainly have to ensure that the equipment operation is not a problem."

Three years ago, because of high myopia, cataracts also early to find him, the vision of the right eye down to 0.1.

Ye brother came to Hangzhou to see the doctor, outpatient and surgery want to "queue". In the clinic did not say a few words, he thought to see the immediate return to the unit to work. This time, the cataract surgery, leave three days, he also intends to try not to "use up", can go back to early early.

The lead surgeon, Prof. Wen Xu, was checking for Ye while nagging him that he has high blood pressure and high eye pressure, and that he should closely follow up these two "pressures", as the blood vessels in his brain are bursting in a stroke, and the blood vessels in his eyes are bursting in his eyes, which means that he is losing his eyesight.

As a peer in the medical profession, Prof. Xu Wen empathizes with his work, and she herself is clinical, surgical, research, conferences, teaching, and weekends have no rest. "A lot of doctors are like that now, and they are not willing to take time off until their medical checkups are out of the question and a complete red light is on."

In the face of everyone's "nagging", Ye repeatedly promised to pay attention to his health in the future.

Nowadays, society is highly competitive, work pressure is high, and the pace of work is generally faster, but no matter what industry, we do not encourage overwork, not to mention the medical workers who are guarding the health of all of us.
