When I first started working, I had to rotate to various departments. When I was transferred to the respiratory department, I met an old gentleman who was hospitalized because of fever, and the orthopantomogram of his chest only suggested the presence of lung infection. I communicated this to the old man and his family and hoped to do a lung CT. The old man readily agreed and took my hand, saying, “Just do the tests you need to do.
It was such a simple sentence that moved me for a long time, and always inspired me to work hard and do my best. Later, the old man was diagnosed with lung cancer and it had metastasized. That’s when my rotation ended. After March, I met his son in the elevator and told him that he had passed away. Before he died, he repeatedly asked his child to see me for a consultation, even though I was not a respiratory physician.

After hearing this, I couldn’t feel calm for a long time. This is a trust from a dying old man to me, and a reflection of a harmonious doctor-patient relationship. At present, there is a relatively tense doctor-patient relationship in domestic hospitals, doctors are careful to do things, and patients are prickly in everything, in the face of these, in fact, the most aggrieved is the doctor, the ultimate impact is the patient’s treatment, doctors are doing their best to treat patients, no doctor wants to treat the patient more and more serious, in the process if the fear of error, and not to do some should do and have a certain risk In the process, if we do not do some tests or treatments because we are afraid of making mistakes, the patient’s treatment will still be affected in the end. The doctor-patient relationship requires mutual understanding and support from both sides, because we all have the same goal, to cure the patient.
The establishment of a harmonious doctor-patient relationship requires the joint efforts of both doctors and patients!
