Last winter, an emergency case who got hurt in the leg in an accident was carried to the Orthopaedic Surgery Department of Pyongyang Municipal General Hospital No. 2. Necrosis already started in the leg of comminuted fracture owing to bad bleeding. If the leg was not amputated at once, his life would be at stake.
The patient was a 24-year-old man respected as an innovator at a construction site.
Before the medical conclusion of amputation, his doctor Choe Pyong Gwon writhed with the contradiction that he could not perform an operation readily because of the future of the young man.
Anatomical analysis was made and opinions were exchanged on the patient's conditions at the consultation of the doctors of the department.
Since some blood vessels of the patient had not been cut completely, Choe Pyong Gwon made a bold decision to revive them and buckled down to treatment.
The focus of the treatment was to revascularize the leg and make the blood flow smoothly. Choe studied literature on vascular surgery and, on its basis, applied necessary therapies without leaving the patient.
After 10-odd days, blood vessels of the patient revived and blood began to flow through them.
Then several operations were performed and over 10 consultations held to restore his bones of comminuted fracture.
At last, the patient could walk again after 270-odd days' painstaking treatment, not by the easy way of amputation.
It was a fruition of the devoted efforts and warm sincerity of a true medical worker with genuine love for man.
Choe Pyong Gwon says:
"It is the duty of the medical workers to protect the lives and health of patients, I think. In the future, too, I will show warm sincerity in the treatment and improve my medical art to fulfil my responsibility and duty as a medial worker in charge of the lives and health of the people."
Choe Pyong Gwon is now working hard to bring the patients back to health with warm human love.
