Chongqing, May 21 (reporter Yang Xi, intern Sun Peiyao) -- She is an ordinary female internist and also a cancer patient. Dr. Chen Jing, aged 55, sees patients regardless of day or night. She said that she feels gratified when she sees her patients recover.
Dr. Chen Jing is an ordinary female internist at the Huilongba Community Health Service Center in Shapingba District. In April 2008, she was unfortunately diagnosed with cancer. However, she did not check into the hospital for surgery until all the patients in her care were properly arranged. In the summer of 2008, three months after the surgery, while recuperating at home, Dr. Chen secretly returned to the health center and submitted a written application. "I don't need special treatment! I can go to work like other colleagues and treat patients." The leadership of the hospital was deeply moved by Dr. Chen's dedication and readily accepted her "request". In May this year, Dr. Chen met a special female patient. After some inquiries, Dr. Chen found that her symptoms were very similar to her own early stages of cancer. Combining her personal experiences, Dr. Chen made an accurate diagnosis of the female patient's condition. Currently, this patient has successfully undergone surgery and chemotherapy and is recovering well.
It is understood that as long as there are patients in need, Dr. Chen will treat them regardless of day or night, and regardless of cold or heat. When she encounters elderly or economically disadvantaged patients, Dr. Chen will assist them with injections and intravenous drips, and even pay for their medication out of her own pocket... According to incomplete statistics, Dr. Chen treats an average of 8,600 patients per year. "When I see my patients recover, I am happy," said Dr. Chen. Her actions have moved everyone around her. In March this year, Shapingba District awarded Dr. Chen the title of "Top Ten Health Guardians".
