Dear Dr. Xie Xiao: Hello! My name is Qiu Rui and I am a recent graduate. I was found to have a shadow in my lung during my medical checkup for the college entrance exam, and I was so scared that I went to the hospital in Hangzhou for a review. I had a CT scan, and the doctor said it was okay, it was just a neurofibroma, and a minimally invasive procedure would be fine, so my family and I put our minds at ease and went on to take the entrance exam. During the summer vacation, my mom took me to a tertiary care hospital in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province and registered for a specialist. I thought a minimally invasive procedure would be fine, but the specialist told us that I had a mediastinal tumor, and that my mass was relatively large and close to my spine, so I had to undergo a major operation. My heart was suddenly cold. We were hospitalized, had all the pre-operative tests (enhanced CT, enhanced MRI, blood tests, cardiac ultrasound, etc.), and had a puncture, and the lab results were benign. So I stayed in the hospital for ten days. When I finally waited for the pre-operative signature, the specialist himself came to talk to us, and he said that my surgery had three major risks: first, damage to the large blood vessels and direct death; second, damage to the spine and direct paralysis; and third, damage to the sympathetic nerves and getting honour syndrome. What’s even scarier is that the failure rate of surgery for the general population is 0.5% to 3%, while mine is 50%. He suggested that we do follow up or go to the United States to see a doctor, and that it was very risky to do the surgery in any hospital in China. Our family’s hearts hit rock bottom and we chose to forgo the surgery. Luckily, we were introduced to Shanghai Xinhua Hospital by my uncle in Shanghai. What was even more fortunate was that I was seen by Dr. Wang Mingsong, the director. The friendly Dr. Wang carefully looked at my previous films, patiently asked about my physical condition and medical experience, and confidently told me that their hospital could do the surgery. I was skeptical, but Dr. Wang seemed to see my worry and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, kid. I instantly felt hopeful. And considering that I was a student and had to travel a long way, he said he would arrange the surgery for me as soon as possible. It felt like a dream, and I came out of the operating room. According to my mother, the doctor said that the surgery was successful and her daughter was still the same. Our whole family gave a thumbs up to the superior technology of Xinhua Hospital. I feel that saying a thank you is no longer enough to express my gratitude to Xinhua Hospital. I will never forget this life-saving gift for the rest of my life and do my best to help others and give back to the society and be grateful.
