”The heart polishes the windows of the soul” “Today’s retinal surgery, one of them is a seventy-something-year-old grandfather, right eye blind for many years, and now the left eye retinal detachment visual acuity decline sharply, we choose the plan carefully and cautiously, surgery carefully and carefully. The surgery went well, and I hope the old man will spend his lifetime in the light.” This text comes from Professor Yuan’s personal web page, and the words are the devotion of a healer to this profession. In the welcome message on the homepage she also wrote, “Polishing the windows of the heart with heart.” Looking back on her more than twenty years of working in ophthalmology, Professor Yuan proudly says, “Over the years, I have felt the respect of each and every patient as they have experienced my sincerity as well.” Professor Yuan has a large clinic volume, sometimes seeing 70 to 80 patients a morning, and often adding numbers for patients who come from far away. Professor Yuan said that many patients from Sichuan, Guizhou and other foreign countries, it is quite difficult to come to Chongqing to see a doctor once, and I would rather sacrifice my rest time to solve problems for them as much as possible. In addition, she has more than 800 vitreoretinal surgeries every year, so the intensity of her work can be imagined. Despite this, Professor Yuan still insists on treating every patient seriously and sincerely, and has received numerous heartfelt thanks from patients since she started her practice. To preserve a patient’s eyes is to save his family. Professor Yuan specializes in the surgical treatment of vitreoretinal diseases and fundoplication, and with her dexterous hands under the microscope, she has brought light to countless patients. “One patient with one eye was just discharged from the hospital. The patient’s family was in poor condition and one eye was beyond salvage and the other eye was blind before he came to the clinic. But gratifyingly, we ended up saving one of his eyes and saving the family.” And the patient Professor Yuan mentioned had vitreoretinal disease. The male patient, who was in his forties, had already undergone multiple surgeries at outside hospitals and was considered hopeless by doctors. He was seen by Professor Yuan, who performed an eye examination and developed a detailed treatment plan. After the surgery, he was able to go out to work and earn money, and the family is back to their old laughter. An old woman who had been blind and suffered from diabetic retinopathy (referred to as “sugar retina”) also saw Professor Yuan. At the first visit, the granny’s blood pressure shot up to 200mmHg as soon as she heard she needed surgery, and the doctors couldn’t do anything about it. Professor Yuan went to her personally to counsel her, and then invited doctors from internal medicine and anesthesiology to assist her during the surgery. Now her eyesight has gradually recovered and she can come to the hospital alone for follow-ups, and she has also referred many friends and relatives who suffer from eye diseases. When talking about the granny’s case, Prof. Yuan did not forget to remind readers that “‘glycosuria’ is one of the common complications of diabetes, and it has a serious impact on vision. Many diabetic patients are unaware of the relationship between the two and miss the best time for treatment which eventually leads to blindness, so diabetic patients must have their fundus checked once a year.” In addition to his busy work schedule, Professor Yuan gives lectures or training sessions to popularize a lot of knowledge about the “sugar network” for patients and ophthalmologists, so that more patients can understand the “sugar network”. The first female doctor to arrive in the Wenchuan disaster area As a military doctor, Professor Yuan not only fulfills her duties as a doctor, but also upholds her vocation as a soldier. 1998, Professor Yuan joined the national medical team of “Vision First China Action” and went to Changdu, Tibet to perform cataract surgery for local patients. Enduring altitude sickness at an altitude of 4,500 meters, Professor Yuan worked continuously for one month and performed cataract surgery on more than 400 patients. ”The local transportation was not convenient, and we were touched by the fact that some patients had to travel for three or four days to find us. On one of the days, we performed more than seventy surgeries in a row. Although we were already tired, the sense of accomplishment made us so excited that we couldn’t sleep. Many Tibetans offered us haddas and brought us fragrant yak meat, which was the best beef I’ve ever eaten!” When recalling the scene more than ten years ago, Professor Yuan’s face still showed that satisfaction. Ten years later, in 2008, an 8 magnitude earthquake struck Wenchuan. Professor Yuan actively petitioned to join the Third Military Medical University Wenchuan Earthquake Medical Rescue Team. On the way to the disaster area, she and her comrades drove through the rocky mountain streams, circled around the snow-capped Jinshan Mountain, and nearly fell into the river several times. After the treacherous journey, they became the first rescue team to reach the disaster area in Wenchuan, and as the only woman among them, Professor Yuan also became the first female doctor to reach the disaster area in Wenchuan. After the earthquake, the sky was full of dust and the conjunctivitis epidemic was on the verge of breaking out. Prof. Yuan and her comrades were brave enough to go into the disaster area to provide medical treatment and prevention work, not only rescuing hundreds of injured victims, but also preventing a large-scale conjunctivitis outbreak. Both the sincerity in communicating with patients and the rigor in treating patients come, in Professor Yuan’s opinion, from her love for the profession. These two special experiences in her life have made her realize the value of a healer and make her cherish the happiness brought by this profession even more.
