on the evening of august 25, weihai international airport witnessed this warm and touching scene: jiang dong and li chengyuan, otolaryngologists from weihai central hospital, went to the airport to see off maxime, a patient who was about to leave for china. at the time of parting, maxime repeatedly said "thank you" and "goodbye" in his awkward chinese, and every word was full of deep gratitude and attachment. this was not just a simple farewell, but also a transmission of friendship, bringing the goodwill and enthusiasm from china to the distant land of africa.
back to august 6, the department of otolaryngology of weihai central hospital welcomed a special visitor - maxime, a 27-year-old young man from cameroon. suffering from nasal congestion for 20 years, he, accompanied by his friends, embarked on a journey of seeking medical treatment "across the ocean" and flew from yaoundé, cameroon to china, just to seek the exquisite medical technology here. this trust comes from the recognition of china's medical level and the trust in the good reputation of weihai central hospital.
the seeds of trust were planted more than 20 years ago. at that time, otolaryngologist jiang dong received a 9-year-old boy with tonsillitis. the boy's father worked at sea all year round, and his mother had to take care of the elderly while taking the child to see a doctor. seeing this, dr. jiang dong thoughtfully arranged a bed for the child and performed the operation smoothly, winning the trust and gratitude of the child's family. this trust and gratitude transcended time and space, and ultimately led to maxim's journey to seek medical treatment from afar. in early august, the child's mother recommended weihai central hospital to her friend maxim, which was not only an affirmation of jiang dong's personal medical skills and medical ethics, but also a recognition of the overall medical level of weihai central hospital.
from the moment maxim stepped into weihai central hospital, he felt the enthusiasm and professionalism of chinese medical workers. according to the medical treatment process, chief physician jiang dong received maxim in the otolaryngology clinic, asked him about his condition in detail, and developed a detailed diagnosis and treatment plan for him.
after the corresponding examinations, maxim's condition was fully evaluated. on august 8, with the cooperation of the anesthesia department and the operating room, jiang dong and his assistant li chengyuan performed surgery on maxim. with their rich experience and skilled techniques, they overcame the difficulties caused by factors such as racial and individual differences. after more than an hour of operation, the operation was successfully completed, and maxim's long-standing nasal congestion problem was fundamentally solved. after the operation, maxim recovered quickly and his physical condition improved day by day under the careful care of the nursing team led by head nurse cui yuanyuan. this experience not only freed him from years of pain, but also made him deeply feel the excellence of chinese medical technology.
during his hospitalization, maxim was deeply moved by the professionalism and warmth of the medical staff of weihai central hospital. they not only relieved his pain with their superb medical skills, but also warmed him with their meticulous care. whenever he saw the busy figures of the medical staff, maxim would involuntarily give a thumbs up and express his gratitude and praise to the medical staff in his not-so-fluent chinese.
maxim's story is a microcosm of the experience of patients seeking medical treatment at weihai central hospital. here, regardless of nationality, skin color, or language, everyone can enjoy high-quality diagnosis and treatment services. the phrase "doctors and patients have no borders" has been most vividly interpreted. patients with different cultural backgrounds and different language habits come to weihai central hospital for health needs, which is the greatest trust. the hospital will continue to improve its medical technology level and service quality to provide more high-quality, efficient, and convenient medical services to patients at home and abroad.
