Formed a multidisciplinary joint expert medical team

Deep into the front line of the Tibet Shigatse border

Carried out the special tour of "Red Army Doctors at the Border"

23 days, over 6000 kilometers

Served thousands of officers and soldiers

The plateau is vast and sparsely populated

Sentinels are scattered

The mountain roads are rugged and difficult to traverse

Many locations are above 4500 meters in altitude

All members of the medical team traveled day and night

Overcoming difficulties and discomfort

Delivering high-quality medical services

To the border-defending officers and soldiers

On the high-altitude border front line

Some officers and soldiers are troubled by insomnia

Dr. Zhao Yikun from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department of the Army Medical University Xinqiao Hospital

As soon as his medical box was opened

Several soldiers gathered around

"Come, sit here, relax your shoulders"

Dr. Zhao gently and skillfully

Massaged the soldiers' shoulders, necks, and calming acupoints...

For officers and soldiers with severe insomnia

He also supplemented with acupuncture treatment

To help them regain their long-lost natural sleep rhythm

And improve the quality of nighttime rest

Dr. Fan Ye, an expert in critical care medicine at the Army Medical University Xinqiao Hospital

Optimized the oxygen therapy and targeted drug combination plan

For some officers and soldiers screened for

Pulmonary hypertension tendencies

During this tour

The medical team regarded health education

As an important part of this tour

Acting expert Gu Qiang from the hospital

A proactive disease prevention health awareness

Teaching everyone scientific rescue methods

At the same time

The medical team also organized on-site

Training on the use of emergency equipment

So that officers and soldiers can be prepared, capable, and effective in emergencies

Physical health has support

Mental health should not be neglected either

"Today we won't talk about work

Just chat about feelings"

Dr. Zhu Zhiru, an expert from the Department of Medical Psychology at the Army Medical University

Conducted psychological screenings for the officers and soldiers one by one

For those officers and soldiers who could not communicate face-to-face due to dispersed duty tasks

She specifically left contact information

To conduct "cloud-based heart-to-heart talks"

Through this "remote" psychological counseling

Providing reliable support for the physical and mental health of the plateau officers and soldiers

During the tour

Director Xie Shenwei from the hospital's health examination center

Reviewed each officer and soldier's health examination report

From blood routine, liver and kidney function

To electrocardiograms and chest X-rays

Marked key points and analyzed strategies for each person

After interpreting a report

The officers and soldiers exclaimed

"In the past, looking at the health examination report was like reading a book in the sky

Today, after the director explained

I feel much more at ease

What to pay attention to in future training and life

Is clear as day"

During this border tour

The medical team also brought portable equipment

To conduct routine health examinations for the officers and soldiers

Establishing and updating electronic health records for each person

For any abnormal indicators found during the health examination

On-site verification and immediate feedback

Without leaving the camp

The medical team also held ideological and political education classes

Throughout the tour

Observing and learning in the honor room of various border defense units

Listening to frontline officers and soldiers

Share battlefield diaries and family letters

Specifically visiting and comforting three elderly women

Who have been delivering vegetables and letters to the officers and soldiers of a certain outpost for over 40 years

Feeling the loyalty on the border line

The deep affection for the country and the military

Accompanying political theory instructor Fang Da from the Army Medical University

Documenting the touching stories of officers and soldiers

Who bravely face the wind and snow

And loyally guard the border

He stated

These vivid examples from the border

Will become living teaching materials in the university's red military medical spirit

Education classes

Inspiring more military medical students

To understand the loyalty, faith, and dedication of revolutionary soldiers in the new era

The more steadfast the original intention

The heavier the responsibility
