Honorees share medical career experiences

Editor's Note: Five honorees of the title "the most beautiful doctors", an award jointly given by the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the National Health Commission and published ahead of this year's Chinese Doctors' Day on Friday, were invited to share their experiences and reflections on their medical careers during a news conference on Friday.

I think to nurture healthy relationships between doctors and patients, communication and mutual understanding is very important. I often tell younger doctors in my department that no matter how busy we are, we should take communication with the family members of patients seriously. In April, a patient passed away after two months of treatment, but the patient's relatives still texted me a message to express their gratitude. At that moment, I felt that we should strive even harder to save lives. I also realize that the doctor-patient relationship is not that complicated, and it is mutual understanding and compassion that matters.
