Medical examination is not a formality

  These two weeks, the hospital’s medical examination center team medical examination is more, and are large groups, after the department coordination, I as a more “shortage” of female surgeons were seconded to help the medical examination center. As a newcomer, I observed the medical examination and the medical examination center from a new perspective, and experienced what it was like to tell everyone.  On the first day, I met the medical examination of the retired senior staff of the hospital, and I saw our Secretary Wang and Secretary Wu at the entrance to meet and visit the senior staff, which really touched my heart.  There were really a lot of women who had medical checkups this morning, and I looked at them more carefully because they were old workers of the hospital, thinking that they had worked all their lives on the health front and felt the same way. One of them is a 70-year-old aunt, at that time I found her right mammary gland has a soy-sized mass, the texture is a little hard, the surrounding area is quite smooth, considering her age, I advised the aunt should be done away with the mass. Auntie said she found it last year during her medical checkup, and it’s been more than a year, so it should be fine. Although I considered that my aunt used to be a medical professional and had her own insight, I still said clearly at that time that I should pay attention to it and left my aunt’s phone number. I am proud of myself for being able to find the problem in the physical examination and insisted on the opinion, and feel lucky to have my aunt diagnosed and treated in time.  It is very important to treat the physical examination properly, for both the client and the doctor. Clients should not take physical examinations as a formality, do not think that it is just a welfare of the unit, the results of the physical examination will reveal their secrets, and ask the doctor to see less or even not to see, which is a practice that is irresponsible to their own health and their health. And we doctors, do not mind the trouble to reduce the examination of the customer, it is possible that in your thought you let go of the early screening of the disease. Only by taking the examination seriously, we can find the problem early to solve the problem, and control the disease in early detection and early treatment, which is not only beneficial to each of our individual treatment, but also very meaningful to the health indicators of our whole nation.
