As the Spring Festival approaches, the pediatric medical staff of Wuhan Central Hospital received a special New Year gift - a pair of couplets. The first couplet means that everything goes well and the family is happy, the second couplet means that everything is going well for the whole family, and the horizontal line means that doctors and patients are harmonious. This neatly contrasted couplet with profound meaning was actually written by an 8-year-old patient, sending New Year greetings in advance to the hard-working pediatric medical staff. Although it is a cold winter day, it is warm and cozy here.
Xiaoxuan, who is in the second grade, is 8 years old and is an "old patient" in the Department of Pediatrics at Wuhan Central Hospital. He was diagnosed with asthma when he was 3 years old. He usually coughed when the weather was cold. In the past few years, he had to report to the hospital once a month.
Xiaoxuan’s grandfather said that whenever his children felt unwell in recent years, they would go to Wuhan Central Hospital to see a doctor as soon as possible because the children had an indissoluble bond with the medical staff. At first, they had an opinion against a doctor because they didn't understand each other, but after the misunderstanding was resolved, they became friends. That time, Xiaoxuan suddenly fell ill on the eve of the final exam. At that time, he was very anxious and hoped that he would get better quickly. He wanted the doctor to prescribe injections for a few more days at a time, but the attending doctor at that time refused to prescribe it. When he noticed that he was emotional, the doctor patiently explained repeatedly, "The patient's condition is different every day. He needs to prescribe medicine according to the actual situation every day. The symptoms may be milder tomorrow, and some medicines may not be needed." A few days later , Xiaoxuan's condition improved quickly. Only later did he understand that doctors sincerely treat patients from their perspective and are responsible for them.
There is a child with asthma at home, and the whole family takes care of him very carefully. Xiaoxuan's grandfather and five pediatric medical staff have added each other on WeChat and often ask questions there. When the weather gets colder, you will also receive reminder messages from medical staff. The longer I have been in contact with the medical staff here, the more I can appreciate the hard work and difficulty of pediatricians and nurses.
In the past few days, the temperature in Wuhan has dropped sharply, and the number of children with colds and fevers has increased sharply. A few days ago, Xiaoxuan, accompanied by his grandfather, went to Wuhan Central Hospital for an injection and nebulization due to a cough. There were cries and coughs from children in the waiting area, but the medical staff were busy and unhurried. Director of Pediatrics Jiang Hong suffered from a severe cold and was almost speechless during the consultation. However, she tried not to drink water for fear that going to the toilet would delay the treatment of the children. She was too busy to eat at noon.
Recalling the considerate care that medical staff have given to children over the years, they would put a cartoon hot water bottle under their hands during infusion in winter. When the food was cold, they would take the initiative to heat it up in the microwave, and give each injection The nurse would always comfort and encourage me softly... Although they were small things, they were full of touching feelings. Xiaoxuan's grandfather never knew how to express his gratitude to the medical staff. The Spring Festival is coming soon, and he decided to ask his grandson, who can write calligraphy, to write a couplet for the medical staff.
Yesterday afternoon, Xiaoxuan delivered this heart-warming gift to Wang Qian, the head nurse of the pediatric outpatient clinic, and the doctor, and said "Auntie, you have worked hard", which surprised and delighted everyone.
Pediatric medical staff said that they often receive banners and letters of praise from parents of children, but this is the first time they have received handwritten couplets from young patients. I have been busy with work during this period, but I feel very happy to receive such a heart-warming gift. This couplet not only carries blessings, but also shows the harmonious relationship of "doctor-patient family".
