“We doctors cannot afford to be ill. If we’re unwell our patients will have to wait. I often worry about the patients. I just want to complete the surgeries quickly and help them recover sooner.

This surgeon felt sharp pain caused by appendicitis while performing surgery. He opted for a pain-killing injection instead of stopping…and choose to soldier on. When the pain worsened and he struggled to carry on he got another dose of painkillers to cope. He was in so much pain his medical scrubs were soaked in sweat.

He completed eight surgeries before getting treatment himself.

The hospital had experienced a power outage the day before causing a huge backlog of surgeries. Fortunately, Liang Fuqun able to recover.
