    "Heart was buried lines"
  
    I come from Anhui Province, is a retired country doctor, has been engaged in clinical catgut embedding Looking back twenty years, contained in this medical practice more than twenty years, has countless ups and downs, but fortunately is Kuzhongzuole, when one pain patients, the pain came and satisfied, the mind can not tell with the happiness and sense of accomplishment.
    It was the spring of 1989, I was the next higher, the school promote conscription into the army, I admire the military, from small wanted to be a real soldier. So I can not wait to apply. I finally enlisted the honor, even after leaving recruits, had the honor to the Military Training Team learning, access to the land after graduation teacher catgut embedding therapy building, in the army, the teacher taught rumors body, and I very careful study, and finally the basic master Lu catgut embedding therapy. Three years later a large force troops to save money, I went back home. In the same year was admitted to the county Medical School. And the system studied medicine for three years, officially opened the clinic after graduation. My first patient was a burying fifty years of age, egg collection at home all day sciatica patients. Before he came to my clinic, has seen twelve doctors. He heard I was coming back from the army on the Medical, try holding the attitude to medical treatment, I check, he is blood stasis type of sciatica, walking bent over, only walked a dozen paces away have to bend over, pain, like needle stabbing pain together. He was alone, had no children. I give him free treatment three times, and asked him to rest. Three months later, he sent a silk banner, "noble medical ethics, are instant." Look at his waist straight, and does not bend, he agitated holding my hand and said: "You're a good doctor, is indeed a training from the army surgeon with the treatment without you, I would have paralyzed . is now completely gone. " Since then, he can receive eggs everywhere, do business. He was sleeping, said that thanks to Dr Lo's treatment, so. Catgut embedding back after a hit. The patient received eggs everywhere, where are you where to promote. We all feel very mysterious, very influential in my hometown, catgut embedding therapy began to bear fruit.
     There is also a story has made me forget that a decade ago. My clinic patients admitted to the two stroke sequelae. A forty years old, engaged in interior design company in Beijing, as well as to a sixty-year-old village doctor. Every time I give them after embedding, but also take care of them eat and drink Lazard, massage, psychological enlighten, this time very tired. Fortunately, I love cooked three meals a day, will the food end to their hands, but also to fight foot-washing water at night, I am giving them to the toilet, because the house is small, the patient's family to live high. All of this, only we do it a couple. My daily massage, guide and supervise their proper exercise. After two months of life can basically take care of themselves before discharge, stroke patients and family are more difficult, I only charge a consultation fee. Two people living expenses, I will be fully removed from the. The two families then they go back, many thanks. Patients are reluctant to leave, tears, they regarded me as their home clinics. I only said one sentence. This is what we should do a doctor, the doctor's duty to save lives, grief for the people is the responsibility of party members.
      This year, I see from the Internet catgut embedding training school in Shijiazhuang, I have arranged things at home, he embarked on a learning journey to Shijiazhuang, to school teachers and even the Secretary-General Ma received me warmly. Understanding of the school and the Society, I am excited to say that two decades. I like Lone Wild Goose has always been, and now I finally found the geese. And it's become one of Guanrong a member. I love catgut embedding. It has long been regarded as a part of my life. Numerous experiences of finding my party conversation, so I take up the burden of village party secretary, I once again politely declined. Since I chose medicine, I have carried forward in the future will catgut embedding therapy for patients with more services for the benefit of mankind.
      I sincerely thank Ms Ma, no reservations will be its own technology and experience, taught to me, it allowed me to see catgut embedding of hope.
