患者认可我们，是因为我们站在患者立场上
　　

　　曾几何时，“矛盾”成了医患关系中的关键词。频繁的医患矛盾冲突，让人感觉到医患关系似乎陷入了前所未有的“冰点”。患者不信任医生，医生提防患者，在舆论层面来看似乎代表了医患关系的现状。然而，在近期走访广东现代肿瘤医院过程中，我们却能感受到医生和患者和谐相处的美妙时刻，为陷入冰点的医患关系大环境中注入了一股暖流。
　　夏日的清晨格外清爽，在现代肿瘤医院的空中花园，一位身着病服的中年男士坐在凉亭内，手握画笔与画板，对面侧坐着温柔浅笑的护士姑娘。作画人忘情置身于画作之中，对面护士巧笑嫣嫣的神情跃于纸上。护士找了这位“出逃”的病人，将药送到了患者口中;病区主任带着医生团队来到空中花园，“查房”后离开。留下患者和护士安静作画，偶有医生护士前来查看也互不相扰。带着晨露的阳光争先恐后地穿过树叶，稀疏地落在他们身上，空气宁静和谐，生活美好如画……
　　在广州现代肿瘤医院，这样和谐暖心的画面很容易见到。据说，在广州现代肿瘤医院的年度汇总调查中，患者满意度高达95.1%，这在医疗行业可是一个高得让人咋舌的比例!记者不由发问，“在当今医患关系紧张的大环境下，你们如何做到让患者认可的?”广州现代肿瘤医院院长王怀忠回答：“患者认可我们，是因为我们站在患者的立场上!”
　　一个月10封感谢信，根源在于疗效!
　　2015年5月，广州现代肿瘤医院国内病区出现了感人的一幕：一位五十岁的中年人将一封感谢信交到护士手上，握紧护士的手，声音哽咽地说：“感谢您们的医术，感谢你们的照顾，我妈现在终于睡上了一个好觉，我的心也终于放下来了!”
　　这封感谢信来自于70多岁的何阿姨。何阿姨身患神经性头痛和脑动脉硬化，加之心脏支架植入术导致心率偏低、脑部供血不足，因此整日头痛难忍、夜不能寐、疲劳不堪。经过内科主任姜希林的治疗，何阿姨的家人惊喜地发现，何阿姨的整个精神都不一样了!疼痛不见了，睡得香了，脸上很快有了笑意，说话做事也都利索起来，家里的氛围也变得轻松愉快!儿子感慨道“这状态，跟20年前一个模样!”而何阿姨心中明白，之所以有这样的幸福晚年，正是因为有广州现代肿瘤医院医护人员的用心治疗。所以，何阿姨在儿子的鼓励下，写下了两大页的感谢信。她说：“你们救了我一命，所以我一定要写这封感谢信来感谢你们、鼓励你们!”
　　医院的使命在于治病救人。患者进入医院，首先是带着“问题”而来，医院是否能解决他们的“问题”，是患者对医院产生信任的关键。在最近收集到的感谢信中，我们发现，无论男女老少，抑或来自国内国外，他们的出发点都源于广州现代肿瘤医院解决了他们的“问题”。在当今医患关系紧张的大环境下，业内出现了“医护人员戴头盔上班”“医生向患者下跪”等怪相。而事实上，工欲善其事，必先利其器，医院解决医患纠纷的治本方法是勤练内功，提升以人才、技术、设备为核心的诊疗水平，实现患者疗效满意。
　　剥除医生高冷面具，与患者平等对话
　　21岁的罗春玉(化名)因为未婚却意外怀孕走进妇科林三明主任诊室时，神情唯唯诺诺、局促不安。她还深深记得上次去其他医院检查时，接诊医生冷冰冰的态度和讽刺。她生怕来到广州现代肿瘤医院会再次面对这样的难堪。林主任看到她的化验单，询问情况后，表情平和亲切，像家人般问清缘由，十分关切地问她有哪些不适感，并轻声宽慰她，让她一再和家人商量。最终，她放下了压力，听从家人的建议接受了手术。很快，当她术后醒来时，林医生又亲切地问她身体感觉，让她忍不住掉下了眼泪，意外怀孕之后的她每日惶恐不安却又不敢向朋友倾诉，而在广州现代肿瘤医院，她感觉很温暖，很踏实。
　　“病人来院治疗，首先是作为‘人’被充分尊重，然后是作为‘病人’被有效治疗。”广州现代肿瘤医院医务部主任杨纲对于“患者”角色有以上定位。目前国内医疗服务长期处于供不应求的状态，医院在供需矛盾尖锐的大环境下，医生往往容易滋生高人一等的优越感，出现“医生选患者”“看病不看人”等现象，而忽略了对于“人”的基本尊重。
　　“在我们这里，对于医生的诊疗行为，有一套切实可行的管理办法”，医务部杨纲主任说起医生管理见解颇丰。广州现代肿瘤医院一方面出台《文明服务公约》，要求医护人员拿起“人文听诊器”，在关注疾病之外聆听患者其他需求;另一方面，医院聘请非医疗行业的社会人士担任医德医风监督员，不定期明察暗访，确保医生诊疗行为的规范化。
　　特别值得一提的是，2014年广州现代肿瘤医院全面导入JCI体系，“一切以患者为中心”的JCI核心理念被灌输到员工脑中，医护人员工作状态焕发新风貌，患者的每一份需求都会被导医、医生、护士所听取并重视，而患者也表示，“他们(医护人员们)比以前更周到了”!
　　极致人文关怀 医患俨然一家人
　　2014年底，在广东省医院协会年会上，广州现代肿瘤医院院长王怀忠所著服务专题论文《国际住院患者精细化服务的实践与探索》在省医协“精益医疗提升医患满意度”的论文评选中，以第四名的优异成绩获奖。这标志着广州现代肿瘤医院在患者精细化服务方面的探索与实践在业内处于前列。
　　经过多年积淀，广州现代肿瘤医院的医学人文关怀不只体现在医护人员的日常工作中，而且形成了人文关怀机制关心患者的方方面面。为了让患者在院治疗期间始终保持积极乐观的心态，医院开创出60多项极具创新和人性化的增值服务，内容涵盖衣食住行、健康、语言、文娱、旅游、节日庆典、民族风情、宗教信仰等方方面面，在竭尽全力满足患者需求之外，还将人文关怀扩大到患者家属，为患者家属提供免费体检、文娱活动等，确保他们能够身心健康地照顾患者。“患者来到医院治病，已经是作为‘求助者’的弱势群体，这时候如果多给他们一些人文关怀，让他们感受到真诚的关心，医患之间的信任就增加了，关系也就和谐了。”广州现代肿瘤医院客服部总监熊玉梅说。
　　不仅如此，医护人员们在岗位角色之外，还把患者当成自己的朋友、家人一样照顾。7楼病区胡医生看到印尼小患者没有合适的衣服，下班后专门上街为她买裙子;英语翻译海军为了帮患者买到一把趁手的表演用剑，走街串巷寻找;泰国肿瘤患者帕英在院治疗期间生活困难，医护人员不仅为他买营养品，而且组织募捐活动为他筹集生活费……
　　医护人员的付出得到了可喜的回报，82岁的马大爷三写感谢信表扬护士的细致专业，泰国患者阿美娜在出院时专门为医护人员烹制本土美食表示感谢，两位老挝患者住院期间合力绣十字绣送给医院，医患和谐，亲如家人。
　　曾有作家将医院比作没有硝烟的战场，诚然如此。医生与患者是同在一个战壕的“战友”，共同对抗病魔敌人。在“战斗”中，战友之间难免遇到障碍，产生误会，但只要方法得当，依然可以取得最好的结果。得到患者的认可，既是对广州现代肿瘤医院的肯定和鼓励，也为时下紧张的医患关系带来暖流，为如何处理医患关系引导了方向。不忘初心，方得始终，牢记医者使命，传承中华千年医德，以看得见的疗效、感受得到的关心、极致完善的服务，想患者所想，做患者所需，为患者带去健康与希望，这才是当代医疗行业应有的医者风范。
　　编后语：
　　“医生和患者是同个战壕里的战友，只有疾病才是共同的敌人。”但是，曾经如同牧歌般美妙、信任的医患关系，却随着“医闹”、“伤医”甚至“杀医”的风波陷入了冰点，医患关系已经不起的折腾。在患者眼中，医院的门难进、排队时间长、花费高昂的治疗和检查费才能得到医生寥寥数语;而医生也陷入了郁闷：工作辛苦、收入不高，还要受到病人的种种冷嘲热讽，甚至投诉……患者的不满让人同情，医生的窘况也让人唏嘘，但是在这场“没有赢家”的“医患冲突”中，解决问题还需要医患双方的改变和努力。

　　就医生而言，长久以来医疗界教育和实践都是以专业知识为主，但“瘸”了人文这条腿。在繁忙的工作中，很多医生的眼睛更多的是看到“病”，而不是“人”，对于拥有优秀专业技能的医护人员来说，在短暂的时间内把这些专业知识用通俗易懂的语言来传递给患者，用爱心、耐心把患者当家人来对待，这才能重新获得患者的信任;而在患者方面，应该更多一点理解医生的繁忙、艰辛，把医生当“人”，而不是当“神”看，更重要的是，患者应理解医术的局限，理解“医学有度”，而不是简单地把医疗当成“商业交易”。相互沟通多一点，相互尊重多一点，很多医患纠纷完全是可以避免的。

“Patients Recognized Us Because We Stand for Them”

　　The Xinxi Newspaper reported Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou which dealt with a good relationship between doctors and nurses. The content was translated as followed:
　　“Patients Recognized Us Because We Stand for Them”
　　“Contradiction”is one of the heated topics between doctors and patients. The frequent conflicts make the relationship between doctors and patients tensed. Patients do not trust doctors while doctors are on guard against patients. However, when walking into Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou, we can feel love and care in the warm and harmonious atmosphere there.
　　In the fresh summer morning, you can see a middle-age man sitting under a pavilion in the hanging garden of Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou. The man took drawing pen and drawing-broad and face-to-face sat with a gentle nurse with smile face. The man lost himself in drawing the happy nurse. Another nurse found this “escaped” cancer patient and gave him medicine; the director of impatient area came to the hanging garden with the doctor team and checked his condition. All the people left the patient and the nurse alone. Sometimes the doctors or nurses passed by but they did not brother them. The warm morning sunshine went through the leaves and settle on them. Life was sedate, harmonious and warm in Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou.
　　You can see this harmonious and warm sight everywhere in Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou. A research showed the patients’ satisfaction reached to 95.1%, which was an amazing rate in medical field. One of the reporter asked how did you gain such incredibly recognition when the relationship between doctors and patients was tensed at present. President of Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou, Wang Huaizhong, said, “Patients recognize us because we stand for them.”
　　Due to Good Efficacy of Treatment Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou Received 10 Thank-you Letters in One Month
　　In May 2015, there was a touching scene, which showed in Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou. A 50-year-old man gave a thank-you letter to the nurse and held her hands tightly, “Due to your advanced technology and your love & care, my mother finally sleep tight. And I feel relieved, too. Thank you so much!”
　　This letter was written by Auntie He, who was over 70 years old. She had nerve headache and cerebral arteriosclerosis and she took heart stents implantation, which made the heart rate low and insufficient blood flow in the brain so she suffered from severe headache, insomnia and weakness. After taking treatment by chief physician, Jiang Xilin, families of Auntie He surprisingly found that Auntie He turned to better mental condition and she did not feel painful and slept well. What’s more, she became happy and spoke fluently and walked quickly. All the families felt relieved. Her son sighed, “She seems to return back to 20 years ago.” Auntie He realized that Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou brought her good treatment and happiness so she wrote a two-page thank-you letter. She said, “You saved my life so I must write a letter to express my gratitude to you!”
　　The mission of hospital lies on saving people’s lives. When patients go to hospital with “problems”, the key of building trust between patients and hospital lies on whether doctors can solve their “problems”. No matter patients are men or women, the old or the young, from home or abroad, they write thank-you letters to Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou because they solve their “problems”. Nowadays, patients and doctors are so tensed that some strange events happen. For example, medical practitioners wear helmet to work; doctors get down their knee to patients. In fact, to solve the tensed relationship between doctors and nurses, doctors need to improve their medical skills and hospitals need to increase their level of diagnosis and treatment, which take competent medical practitioners, technology and machines as center so as to meet patients’satisfaction.
　　Doctors Take off the Cool Mask and Have a Fair Conversation with Patients
　　Luo Chunyun, 21 years old, was pregnant before getting married. Walking into the consulting room of Director Lin Sanming, she was nervous and delirious. She still remembered that last time she went for inspections in other hospitals, the doctor was cruel and ironic so she worried that she had to face up the embarrassing scene in this hospital again. However, after knowing her result and patiently asking her condition, Director Lin consoled her in a soft voice and suggested her discussing with families. Finally, Luo Chunyun relieved stress and listened to families’suggestion to receive the surgery. When she woke up after surgery, Director Lin amiably asked for her feeling and conditions. At this time, she cannot help crying. Since she had been pregnant accidentally, she was worried and afraid of talking to friends but in Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou, she felt warm and grounded.
　　The director of medical department in Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou, Yang Gang, said that when patients went to hospital, medical practitioners needed to take respect to them and provided them with effective treatment. Nowadays, China medical service stays in a severe condition that demand has far outstripped supply of doctors. With the intense contradiction of demand and supply, doctors easily feel sense of superiority so they may choose patients or neglect to take respect to patients. “In here, we make a practicable administrative method.”, said Director Yang. In Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou, there is a principle of civilized service, which demands that medical practitioners put “civilized stethoscope” and pay attention to patients’need. What’s more, some society people are hired as supervisors of medical ethic and medical culture, who take investigation openly and secretly so as to normalize the doctors’behavior.
　　In 2014, Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou implemented JCI system. “patient-centered” as the key concept of JCI was inculcated to all staffs. Now all the medical practitioners are fresh with new style. Doctors and nurse listen to and pay attention to the demand of every patient and the patients claim that medical practitioners’ service are more thoughtful.
　　Thoughtful and Humanistic Care & Doctors and Patients Are a Family
　　At the end of 2014, in the annual meeting of doctors association in Guangdong province, Wang Huaizhong, the president of Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou, wrote a featured paper Practice and Exploration of Elaborated Service to International Hospitalized Patients, which was awarded the fourth place, excellence prize, in paper selection. This paper symbolizes that Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou stands in an outstanding place in practice and exploration of elaborated service.
　　Humanistic care in Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou appears in the daily duty of medical practitioners. It also forms a humanistic care system to take care of patients in every aspect. There are more than 60 innovative and humanistic value-added services in Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou, including clothing, food, housing, transportation, health, language, entertainment, traveling, festival ceremony, ethnic culture, religious belief, etc. Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou not only spares no effort to satisfy patients’need but also extends humanistic care to patients’families and provids free body check and recreation, etc. so that they can take care of patients to maintain a good physical and mental condition. Department of customer service in Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou said, “Patients go to hospital for treatment and they are taken as the members of vulnerable group so we need to take care of them and let them feel the sincere care. Patients build trust with doctors and their relationship is harmonious.”
　　All staffs not only are responsible to their duties but also take the patients as friends and families. Dr. Hu in 7th floor knew a little Indonesian patient did not have a suitable cloth so she brought a dress for her after work; an English interpreter, Chen Haijun, in order to find a sword to a patient for performance wandered many streets; A Thailand cancer patient had a difficulty on money so the staffs brought him nourishment and organized an activity to raise fund for him.
　　Staffs got payment for their effort. Mr. Ma, 82 years old, wrote three thank-you letters to nurses to praise their thoughtful service; a Thailand patient, ANAMIDA, cooked local food for doctors and nurses to show her thank-you; two Laos patients cooperated to make a cross-stich and gave it to hospital. Doctors and nurses harmoniously get along with patients; they are a family.
　　One writer takes hospital as a battlefield without smoke of gunpowder. That is true. Doctors and patients are comrades in arms to fight against disease. In the battles, comrades may meet with difficulties and have some misunderstandings but when they deal with them in a proper way, they still can get a good result. The recognition of patients not only is the affirmation and encouragement to Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou but also takes a good example under the tensed relationship between doctors and patients and leads a good way to deal with doctors-and-patients relationship. Do not forget the original aim and you will achieve it one day.
　　Editorials:
　　“Doctors and patients are comrades in arms; diseases are their common enemies.”However, there were some unfortunate accidents that patients hurt and killed doctors so the relationship between doctors and patients were tensed. Patients think that it needs to wait for a long to see a doctor and doctors do not treat the patients carefully and with expensive medical costs while doctors consider that the work is hard with low pay and they also need to face up with some complaints. The dissatisfaction of patients and the predicament of doctors are worthy of sympathy but there is no winner in the contradiction between doctors and patients. To relieve the tensed relationship, both doctors and patients need to change and make effort.

　　Doctors are mainly cultured with theoretical knowledge and practice but without humanistic care. In busy work, many doctors are interested in the “disease” but not “patients”. An excellent doctor or nurse need to convey the professional knowledge with easy-to-understand words to patients and also need to treat patients with love & care as a family so as to gain trust of patients; patients need to understand doctors’ hard-working and take respect to doctors. What’s more, patients need to understand the limits in medical field and do not take medical treatment as a business. Mutual communication and mutual respect help avoid contradiction between doctors and nurses.

开斋节：在中国感受家一样的欢乐

开斋节是伊斯兰教三大节日之一，这一天，穆斯林除沐浴净身，到清真寺参加节日宗教聚礼活动外，还要穿上节日盛装，走亲访友，互道“塞俩目”(祝你平安之意)，祈求来年幸福。
　　2015年7月17日，广州现代肿瘤医院一楼的咖啡吧里，聚集了数十名来自印度尼西亚的伊斯兰教患者和家属。在遥远的异国他乡，他们在广州现代肿瘤医院医务人员的帮助下，庆祝了一场别开生面的开斋节。
　　活动在当天下午5点开始，早在听到医院将为他们举办开斋节庆祝活动的消息时，很多患者便抑制不住自己期待的心情，开始做各种准备。包括沐浴净身，准备好自己最喜欢的衣服等。伴着熟悉的庆典音乐，患者在家人和医院护士协助下进入会场，一直以来彼此陌生的患者，此刻像往年在家乡与亲朋好友共度佳节一样，开始平和愉悦地互相交流，一边品尝医院准备的丰盛水果，一边互相问候。
　　

　　大家围坐在一起互相祝福

　　庆祝活动随着一首首优美的歌曲高潮迭起。患者杨念城首先自告奋勇，上台表演了一首中文歌曲《往事只能回味》，优美的旋律让人不禁回想起过往幸福的点点滴滴。另外还有两位患者和医院的员工一起合唱了《月亮代表我的心》和《明天会更好》。音乐可以拉近人心，节目同样也充满趣味。广州现代肿瘤医院的员工还表演了精彩的魔术，惹得大家纷纷拿起手机拍下那神奇的过程。
　　自由交流的环节，多名患者纷纷拿过麦克风，表达自己对广州现代肿瘤医院的感谢，认为来到这里是很幸运的事情，对医院各方面的服务也都很满意，对战胜癌症充满信心。

　　医院员工表演精彩的魔术

　　开斋节上还有一道亮丽的风景线——美食。在医院七楼厨房里，经过几位患者家属和医院员工的辛苦忙碌，玉米饺子、扁豆肉汤等美食香味四溢，瞬间勾起了人的食欲。异乡的开斋节少了街头狂欢，少了熟悉的面孔，但在医院这样一个小小的咖啡吧里，熟悉的食物的芳香让人想起了家的味道，味蕾的记忆是不会改变的。
　　

　　现场制作的美食

　　大家分享美食

　　据悉，作为一家国际化JCI认证医院，广州现代肿瘤医院一直将“以患者为中心”作为医院的服务标准，充分尊重医院外籍患者的宗教信仰和生活习惯，除了开斋节外，每年的圣诞节、复活节等重要节日医院都会组织患者共同庆祝，让他们能够在接受治疗之余能够感受到家乡节日的气氛，取得更好的治疗效果。

Eid al-Fitr: Feel at Home in China

　　Eid al-Fitr is one of three major Islamic festivals. On this day, Muslims will take shower and go to mosque for religious activities. Additionally, they are putting on festival clothes to visit families and friends, saying “salaam” (that means wish you peace) towards each other and praying for the happiness in the next year.
　　On July 17, 2015, dozens of Islamic patients and their families got together at the café on the first floor of Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou celebrating Eid al-Fitr with the help of the hospital staff, in such a foreign place far away from home.
　　The activity began at 5 pm on that day. On hearing the news of that Eid al-Fitr celebration was held for them in the hospital, many Muslim patients could not help expecting, and began to make various preparations including taking a bath, choosing their favorite clothes etc. With familiar celebration music, patients arrived at the venue under the help of their families and the hospital nurses. All patients turned into friends from strangers. They celebrated the festival like at home. They communicated and greeted peacefully and cheerfully with each other, and ate delicacies which were prepared by the hospital.
　　

　　Everybody was sitting around and greeting each other.

　　Celebration reached its summit as beautiful songs played one by one. The patient DJONG NYAM SANG firstly volunteered to sing a Chinese song “Past events can only be reminisced” on the stage. The beautiful melody made them spontaneously think of their previous happy life bit by bit. Another two patients sang Chinese songs “The moon represents my heart” and “Tomorrow will be better” with the hospital workers together. Music could make people’s heart link together, while the show also was full of fun. The staff of Modern Cancer Hospital performed magic, which attracted the audience to take photos with their phones for recoding the magical process.
　　During the free chat part, many patients took up the microphone to express their gratitude to Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou, satisfaction for the hospital services, and confidence of fighting against cancer. They also felt lucky to get treatment in Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou.
　　

　　The patient DJONG NYAM SANG was singing a song.

　　

　　A staff of Modern Cancer Hospital was performing magic.

　　Besides, delicious food was noticeable in the celebration. In the kitchen on the seventh floor of the hospital, several patients’ families and the hospital workers had cooked corn dumplings, gulai buncis and other delicious food. Although the celebration of Eid al-Fitr in foreign place lacked street entertainment and familiar faces, the fragrance of familiar food and the hospital’s care made them feel at home in such a small café of the hospital. Memory of taste had never been changed.
　　

　　Delicious food on the spot

　　

Everybody shared the delicious food.

　　It is reported that as an international hospital which has been accredited by international JCI (Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations), Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou takes “patient-oriented” as service standard all the time. The hospital fully respects foreign patients’ religions and living habits. Except for Eid al-Fitr, the hospital also holds other celebration activities on Christmas, Easter and other important festivals for patients, so as to create the festive atmosphere of their hometown during their days of treatment for better therapeutic effect.

　　From August 9th to August 11th, there were 10 media representatives from Malaysia visiting St.Stamford Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou (St.Stamford MCHG), including the broadcasters and journalists from Malaysian government TV2 and TV7, MY Fm Radio, and the editors from Global Fortune online magazine and CARI website. It was known that they came for having a more comprehensive knowledge of new anticancer technologies, medical team, service and so forth in St.Stamford MCHG, so as to promote technical development for treating cancer and benefit more cancer patients in Malaysia.
　　The meeting was held in multifunctional conference room on the second floor of administration building in hospital on August 9th. The Chairman Wang Huaizhong from St.Stamford MCHG delivered his welcome speech. During the meeting, the Chairman Wang Huaizhong highlighted the oversea development, operating section, products classification and technological advantage in St.Stamford MCHG to the media delegation.
　　

Chairman Wang Huaizhong is being interviewed.

　　The Chairman, Wang Huaizhong pointed out that the predecessor of St.Stamford MCHG was Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou. The hospital was in the early preparatory period before 2011. However, the hospital began to enter a rapid growth period as conditions like medical technology, facilities and service were getting ripe gradually. Especially since accredited by the American JCI (Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations) in 2014, the hospital had accelerated development in the world, such as setting up the first China-Singapore joint venture JCI hospital with the Singapore Perennial Real Estate Holdings Limited, establishing partnership with the most prominent international institutes, such as the National University of Singapore, the National Cancer Center Singapore, and Mayo Clinic.
　　At last, Chairman Wang Huaizhong hoped that the media group should seize this visiting opportunity to deepen understanding of St.Stamford MCHG in all aspects, such as technological advantages and service characteristics ,and deliver more information and hope to the cancer patients those in need. And then, Director He Liangqiong showed the media representatives around the reception center of the international clinic，diagnosis and treatment department, VIP ward, nutritional diet room , and other service facilities. The media representatives admired greatly the considerate service and the warm and comfortable environment.

In the end, the media group visited the inpatients to know their situation in St.Stamford MCHG.

　　With this visit, the Malaysian media group not only further familiarized with St.Stamford MCHG, but also had a more comprehensive understanding of the minimally invasive therapy. In addition, they were impressed by the expertise of Director Bai Haishan, a minimally invasive expert. They said, “The Director is so amazing. By his explanation, even the difficult specialized medical knowledge can be easily understood.” Finally, they hoped that more and more Malaysians could know about the minimally invasive technique form their reports so that more Malaysian cancer patients could be benefited.

一针一线，一牵一引，缕缕医患情

　　图为吴氏秋香姐妹俩(左三、右三)与圣丹福广州现代肿瘤医院医护人员合影

11月28日上午，圣丹福广州现代肿瘤医院五病区收到了4幅来自越南患者的手工挂画。据悉，这些挂画是结肠癌患者吴氏秋香与姐姐，为了感谢肿瘤科主任彭晓赤，以及病区主任马晓颖、主治医生王增海、越南语翻译苏永朝等人员的悉心照顾所手工制作。

　　为什么会想到送这样的手工作品?

据介绍，这些挂画全是由吴氏秋香姐妹俩从越南带过来的材料，然后通过一针一线所勾勒而成。完成一幅作品，最快也需要3天的时间。据吴氏秋香的姐姐介绍，制作这样的挂画十分考验人的耐心，每个操作步骤都要非常细心，马虎不得。而之所以选择给圣丹福广州现代肿瘤医院医护人员赠送这样的手工挂画，是因为这种制作风格为她们首创，具有唯一性，且有长久的纪念价值。同时，“我们也希望通过自己的耐心，制作这样一份礼物回馈给医护人员，感谢他们对我们的耐心照顾。”吴氏秋香的姐姐说道。
　　图为吴氏秋香的姐姐亲手为彭主任送上手工挂画，还有给彭主任小孩的帽子与衣服。彭主任接过礼物感动地说道：“等我小孩穿上这帽子跟衣服，我一定拍张照片给你看。真的十分感动，感谢患者及家属对圣丹福广州现代肿瘤医院的赞赏与肯定。”
　　

　　每一幅作品都有特别的含义

这四幅手工挂画分别包含了独特的意义。吴氏秋香的姐姐介绍道：“彭主任的性格十分温和，我就在送他的挂画上制作了两只白天鹅，也借此祝福他和他太太的感情幸福美满。” 同时，“马主任长得漂亮，挂画上我便用了玫瑰花来作点缀，右上角还有一个吉他，希望她的工作和生活都像音乐一般美好。”而对于主治医生王增海和翻译苏永朝，她们也分别在挂画上使用了借喻的表现手法，以此祝福他们生活愉快，家庭幸福。
　　广州的天气寒冷了起来，吴氏秋香又开始不亦乐乎地为圣丹福广州现代肿瘤医院某越南语翻译勾勒小孩子的帽子。她说道：“这些工作人员都很好，但常因工作不能与孩子团聚，我希望能为她们做一些事情。”

　　“只要你们需要，我将全力以赴支持”

　　2015年7月份，吴氏秋香因结肠癌术后复发来到圣丹福广州现代肿瘤医院，目前这已是她第10次返院复诊。据病区主任马晓颖介绍，之前吴氏秋香的病情时有反复，但此次经过医院的综合治疗，其病情已控制稳定，精神状态良好。在圣丹福广州现代肿瘤医院治疗将近一年半，吴氏秋香姐妹俩早已把医院当作自己的家，把这里的医护人员当成自己的家人。“每次她们回来，都会给病区的主任、医生们带来一些自己手工制作的越南工艺品。”越南翻译关百江介绍道。对于圣丹福广州现代肿瘤医院的发展，吴氏秋香的姐姐肯定地说道：“我相信这里的医生，相信这里的技术，因此只要圣丹福广州现代肿瘤医院在越南有需要我们的地方，我们都愿意全力帮助。”

While taking the gifts Director Peng said, “I will send you a picture of my child wearing the hat and clothes. I am deeply touched by your appreciation of St. Stamford Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou. Thank you!”

　　Every Painting Has Its Special Meaning

These paintings had their own respective and special meanings. According NGO THI THU HUONG’s sister, “Director Peng is gentle and nice, just like the swans and so I am painting two swans and wish him and his wife all the happiness.” “Director Ma is as beautiful as a rose. I added a guitar on the right corner to symbolize a beautiful music altogether.” All their paintings expresses everyone fulfillment in life and happiness.
　　

　　Despite the cold weather in Guangzhou, nothing can stop NGO THI THU HUON making a hat for the baby of one of our Vietnamese interpreters. She said with pleasure, “all medical staffs are nice. They couldn’t always accompany their children due to work, so I hope I can do something for them.”

　　这名患者在贺卡上只简单写了四行字，但字里行间却充满了感激之情。她表示：“感谢圣丹福广州现代肿瘤医院，给我们带来好的疗效之余，还给我们提供如此贴心周到的人文关怀。感谢你们。”
　　

　　这名来自菲律宾的患者家属则写了满满一页纸，都是围绕着如何感谢圣丹福广州现代肿瘤医院的医护人员。在主持人的邀请下，他把自己撰写的感言在现场大声朗诵出来与大家分享。之后又向工作人员拿了许多感恩卡，他说他还有很多需要感谢的人。
　　活动进行到自由交流环节时，来自不同国家的患者及家属们此时都已成为朋友。在寒冷的冬天，他们通过这样的活动联系在一起，忘记不快，忘记疾病痛苦，畅叙心中的情感与喜悦。
　　据了解，举办这样的节日性活动是圣丹福广州现代肿瘤医院的传统。由于医院的住院患者95%均来自印尼、菲律宾、马来西亚、泰国、越南等东南亚地区的十多个国家，而为了消除这些患者跨国治疗远离家乡的孤单感，医院特别为他们增设了60多项人文关怀服务，

　　如医疗旅游、宗教服务、饮食指导等。这次感恩节主题交流活动，正是圣丹福广州现代肿瘤医院践行“一切以患者为中心”服务理念的又一次体现。

6 Cancer-Fighting Superfoods

Win the war

To reduce your risk of cancer, look no further than your fridge. "All the studies on cancer and nutrition point to eating plant-based foods for their phytonutrients and other special compounds," says Richard Béliveau, PhD, chair in the prevention and treatment of cancer at the University of Québec at Montreal and author of Foods to Fight Cancer.

Aim for five to nine daily servings of all kinds of fruits and vegetables—especially these six superstars.
　　

Broccoli

All cruciferous veggies (think cauliflower, cabbage, kale) contain cancer-fighting properties, but broccoli is the only one with a sizable amount of sulforaphane, a particularly potent compound that boosts the body's protective enzymes and flushes out cancer-causing chemicals, says Jed Fahey, ScD. A recent University of Michigan study on mice found that sulforaphane also targets cancer stem cells—those that aid in tumor growth.

Helps fight: breast, liver, lung, prostate, skin, stomach, and bladder cancers

Your Rx: The more broccoli, the better, research suggests—so add it wherever you can, from salads to omelets to the top of your pizza.
　　

Berries

All berries are packed with cancer-fighting phytonutrients. But black raspberries, in particular, contain very high concentrations of phytochemicals called anthocyanins, which slow down the growth of premalignant cells and keep new blood vessels from forming (and potentially feeding a cancerous tumor), according to Gary D. Stoner, PhD, a professor of internal medicine at The Ohio State University College of Medicine.

Helps fight: colon, esophageal, oral, and skin cancers

Your Rx: Stoner uses a concentrated berry powder in his studies but says a half-cup serving of berries a day may help your health, too.
　　

Tomatoes

This juicy fruit is the best dietary source of lycopene, a carotenoid that gives tomatoes their red hue, Béliveau says. And that's good news, because lycopene was found to stop endometrial cancer cell growth in a study inNutrition and Cancer. Endometrial cancer causes nearly 8,000 deaths a year.

Helps fight: endometrial, lung, prostate, and stomach cancers

Your Rx: The biggest benefits come from cooked tomatoes (think pasta sauce!), since the heating process increases the amount of lycopene your body is able to absorb.
　　

Walnuts

Walnuts Their phytosterols (cholesterol-like molecules found in plants) have been shown to block estrogen receptors in breast cancer cells, possibly slowing the cells' growth, says Elaine Hardman, PhD, associate professor at Marshall University School of Medicine in Huntington, West Virginia.

Helps fight: breast and prostate cancers

Your Rx: Munching on an ounce of walnuts a day may yield the best benefits, Hardman's research found.
　　

Garlic

Phytochemicals in garlic have been found to halt the formation of nitrosamines, carcinogens formed in the stomach (and in the intestines, in certain conditions) when you consume nitrates, a common food preservative, Béliveau says. In fact, the Iowa Women's Health Study found that women with the highest amounts of garlic in their diets had a 50 percent lower risk of certain colon cancers than women who ate the least.

Helps fight: breast, colon, esophageal, and stomach cancers

Your Rx: Chop a clove of fresh, crushed garlic (crushing helps release beneficial enzymes), and sprinkle it into that lycopene-rich tomato sauce while it simmers.
　　

Beans

A study out of Michigan State University found that black and navy beans significantly reduced colon cancer incidence in rats, in part because a diet rich in the legumes increased levels of the fatty acid butyrate, which in high concentrations has protective effects against cancer growth. Another study, in the journal Crop Science, found dried beans particularly effective in preventing breast cancer in rats.

Helps fight: breast and colon cancers

Your Rx: Add a serving—a half-cup—of legumes a few times a week (either from a can or dry beans that've been soaked and cooked) to your usual rotation of greens or other veggies.
　　

What not to eat: Animal fats

While researchers are still trying to determine which foods have the most cancer- preventing benefits, we do know what not to eat if you want to protect yourself, says Cheryl Forberg, RD, author of Positively Ageless:

Animal fats: Meat, cheese, and butter can be rich in saturated fat, which has been linked to obesity—a big cancer predictor. Opt for leaner protein sources, such as fish, low-fat dairy, and those good-for-you beans.
　　

What not to eat: Processed meats

A ballpark hot dog or a few slices of bacon once in a while won't kill you, but don't make them a staple of your diet. Some cured meats tend to be high in nitrites and nitrates, preservatives that can, in large amounts, potentially increase your risk of stomach and other cancers.
　　

What not to drink: Excessive alcohol

Stop after one drink! Too much tippling is associated with an increased risk of cancers of the mouth, esophagus, and breast.
