  21201621389712004 Author of Otolaryngology Color Surgery Atlas. 85941621389712077 Patient evaluation:"Purdue sentient beings’ mind and strict attitude towards treating diseases" On a medical website, there are many patients’ thank-you letters and messages for Director Lu, which are full of affection word by word, and some are extracted by Xiaobian. Let us feel the kindness of Director Lu’s doctors through these words: 

◆ Director Lu is decisive and experienced. Although he knew that Director Lu was very busy, he promised me that he could operate on me personally … Seeing many people looking for him, he still told me patiently, which made my complicated heart calm a lot and increased my confidence in the operation. I sincerely hope that there will be more such doctors, and that will be the blessing of patients. 

◆ In May 2013, my father was diagnosed with hypopharyngeal cancer. He has been to many cancer hospitals in Guangzhou, and most of them suggested giving up medical treatment. Such bad news must have plunged us into a bottomless abyss. Coincidentally, I found Dr. Lu Yongtian. After more than 11 hours of surgery by Dr. Lu, my father got his life back. Now it’s almost a year since the operation, and my father has recovered quite well. Thank you to Dr. Lu Yongtian and his team for their kindness. I mean you. I wish Dr. Lu and his team all the best! 

◆ Hello, Director Lu! I was a patient who had a nose bridge reset yesterday. After the injury, I went to several doctors with no results. I was very anxious and afraid of being disfigured from now on. It’s you. You not only gave me positive injuries, but also gave me psychological counseling. Your noble medical ethics and kindness gave me confidence. Thank you and wish you good health and happiness! 

◆ I was able to get the help of Director Lu only because of Director Lu’s broad mind and rigorous attitude towards treating diseases. During the operation, the risk judgment of preoperative examination was verified one by one. The ruptured septal cartilage in the operation eight years ago, foreign bodies that always spread colds, nasal bone fractures caused by a close fall in the early years, and hard facial bones made the operation risks one after another. Pulling out an maxillary wisdom tooth in India two years ago kept the big doctor busy for two hours. I was so tired that I was paralyzed and sighed that my bones were hard. I’m a layman, and I can only judge by the words of an expert doctor. Director Shi Jianbo of the First Hospital of Zhongshan said that Director Lu took the doctor earlier than he did, and the operation was superb. Several experts who are respected by insiders have said that reoperation is very risky and may not be worth the loss. But without surgery, my family and work are basically at the end of the road. Director Lu successfully completed the operation with decades of skill. After eight years of suffering and depression, once I got rid of it, this is probably what the fortune teller said I would have. I will remember my kindness, work hard, study and live, sow hope, reap happiness and share joy. I wish the Department of Otolaryngology of Shenzhen Second Hospital, under the leadership of Director Lu, to rescue more patients in distress. You are the precious wealth of the country and the backbone of society. …… We really don’t know why such a doctor was killed by this!

No department is a "small department"

From the time when Director Lu was chopped up to now, there are only a handful of related reports and revelations. Xiaobian has no intention to query "Otolaryngologists were chopped up" online, hoping to get more information, but he found a strange phenomenon:

27981621389712215 

I believe you can also see that many people are asking, "Why is the Otolaryngology Department a high-incidence area for medical troubles in the news? !”

In 2007, Dr. Dai Wenhong from the Department of Otolaryngology of Xinxiang Second People’s Hospital was stabbed to death. In 2011, Dr. Xu Wen from the Department of Otolaryngology, Beijing Tongren Hospital was seriously injured. In 2012, Dr. Xing Zhimin from the Department of Otolaryngology, beijing beijing People’s Hospital was stabbed and seriously injured. In 2013, Director Wang of the Department of Otolaryngology, the First People’s Hospital of Wenling, Zhejiang Province, was stabbed to death. ….. How many otolaryngologists have been hacked, stabbed and killed? It scares me, because the tragedy is far more than that! 

In professional medical forums and post bars, some netizens explained this: 

1. Nasal diseases are prone to relapse, and most of them have neurosis. If you feel uncomfortable, you think that the doctor has not given you a good opinion. 

2. Otolaryngology deals with the senses, and patients’ subjective feelings may naturally be stronger than other diseases. 3, involving sensory diseases, it is necessary to eliminate the interference of patients’ psychological problems, especially patients with mental and personality problems.

Perhaps this is just some of the causes of many tragedies, the real root, without too much explanation, we naturally understand.

In the eyes of patients, even some medical staff, otolaryngology diseases are minor diseases, and they simply don’t know the risks inside. In fact, otolaryngology mostly deals with respiratory tract, which is extremely risky. Many otolaryngologists have been chopped, stabbed and killed, which shows that patients have no correct understanding of otolaryngology at all, so it is difficult to understand once they are dissatisfied.

In the face of illness, people are too weak and fragile. In the hospital, no one is a "small department"!

Is pediatrics small? As small as the pediatrics of some hospitals are "run" by pediatric hospitals, they have to close wards and clinics, and medical staff can’t pay bonuses!

Is pediatrics big? Sure! Every family’s eye and parents’ heart are ill and they have to go to see pediatrics. This "small" clinic carries many people’s expectations!

Is dermatology small? As small as some top-three hospitals, the dermatology department only looks at eczema, allergies and boils for one year.

Dermatology University? As big as a herpes zoster, it can torture you for life!

Please, don’t say which department is a small department in the future. It doesn’t matter. This view will subtly affect patients, and I wonder how many doctors will be killed or injured. "Director Lu is now out of danger", but what about the follow-up? Where did it hurt? Will it affect his medical career? We continue to pay attention.
