Hold the people's interests high above our heads —— Zhou Xiang, deputy chief physician of the central theater General Hospital ■ special reporter of PLA Daily Liliang, liuhuibin, correspondent qinliping [biography of people] Zhou Xiang, male, deputy chief physician of the Department of Anesthesiology of the central theater general hospital. He has devoted himself to the cause of military medicine for 21 years, and has successively participated in major tasks such as medical support for the world military games and the fight against the COVID-19. He was honored as "national outstanding communist youth league cadre" and won the third class merit once. At 8 a.m., a femoral head replacement operation was about to begin in operating room 15 of the central theater general hospital. 10 seconds, 22 cm - when Zhou Xiang, deputy chief physician of anesthesiology department, accurately inserted a soft catheter into the patient's airway, the clear and regular breathing sound was transmitted to the ear through the stethoscope. Zhou Xiang, who has been a doctor for 21 years, is familiar with such scenes. Grandma Zhang, 103, was one of the patients treated by Zhou Xiang. She is a patient with femoral neck fracture, complicated with more than ten basic diseases, and has been in bed for nearly one month. "The anesthesia risk is too high. If there is a slight mistake, the patient may not be able to get off the operating table." During the consultation, Zhou Xiang was embarrassed by the words of the orthopaedic expert. After repeatedly checking the medical records and adjusting the anesthesia plan for several times, Zhou Xiang said firmly: "even if there is only one percent hope, we should make 100% efforts!" "Grandma, the operation is not difficult. Just sleep." Zhou Xiang and she started a family business. Zhou Xiang pushed the medicine gently, grandma Zhang fell asleep slowly, and the operation started smoothly. To make the patients feel at ease, they should not only have excellent skills, but also have patience. On one occasion, a 6-year-old child was in urgent need of craniotomy. During the preoperative examination, the child vomited continuously due to intracranial hypertension, which blocked the mouth and airway, and even was inhaled into the lungs. The situation was critical. "Come on! Suck the vomit out!" Zhou Xiang took a fiberoptic bronchoscope and sucked out vomit little by little. The operation lasted more than 4 hours, and Zhou Xiang continued to deal with it for more than 4 hours. "The people are supreme and life is supreme. Whether in the operating room or in the front line of anti epidemic, I always maintain a charging posture." Recalling the scenes of the task of combating the COVID-19 in 2020, Zhou Xiang was still excited. At the time of the outbreak, Zhou Xiang was on vacation in his hometown in Jiangsu Province. From his hometown to Wuhan, he took more than 5 hours by car and 3 hours by train. After entering Wuhan, he rode a shared bike for more than 2 hours before arriving at the hospital. Seeing that there were many critically ill patients in the hospital and there was great pressure for treatment in the intensive care unit, Zhou Xiang immediately appealed to the hospital Party committee and entered the intensive care unit with the most arduous and dangerous tasks. Central venipuncture, endotracheal intubation, sputum aspiration through fiberoptic bronchoscope... These operations that directly contact the patient's blood and secretions may be at risk of infection if they are not careful. No matter how big the risk is, Zhou Xiang always puts saving the patient's life first. Zhou Xiang said, "as a member of the people's army, my growth is inseparable from the cultivation of the party and the nurturing of the people. To integrate into the current of the times, I must hold the people's interests high above my head." (outlook new era)
