Hunan doctor's skills, dedication praised in Sierra Leone

　　双语丨大爱无疆 湖南援塞医生被点赞

　　“他出众的能力，已让他成为众所周知的人。”卡努院长在感谢信中写道。

　　"His outstanding ability has made him a well-known person here," Kanu said in the letter.

　　“他是医院有史以来最好的外科医生之一，感谢中国政府能派遣他来到我们医院。”3月20日，一封来自万里之外的塞拉利昂中塞友好医院院长卡努所写的感谢信，被湖南省卫计委转送到了湖南省人民医院。

　　"He is a good Chinese doctor who devoted himself to his work. We really appreciate it that the Chinese government can send him, an excellent surgeon, to our hospital," said a letter written by Dr Alex Kanu, the dean of Sierra Leone-China Friendship Hospital, that was put on the desk of the Health and Family Planning Commission of Hunan Province Wednesday.

　　而被他点赞的“good Chinese doctor”，是来自湖南省人民医院的普外科专家、急诊二科副主任，也是中国（湖南）第19批援助塞拉利昂医疗队队员之一的熊邦文。

　　The good Chinese doctor is Xiong Bangwen a Chinese doctor who won respect and admiration in Sierra Leone for his extraordinary medical skills and dedication during his deployment in the African country.

　　在塞拉利昂，尽管中塞友好医院是最大的综合医院，但医疗设备简陋、医疗资源紧张，当地医生仅有2名。因此，救死扶伤的重担压在中国医疗队员肩上。而医院外科以普外科为主，熊邦文是队里唯一的普外科医生。

　　Xiong, a surgeon from the People's Hospital of Hunan Province, arrived in Sierra Leone with 19 other doctors in May 2017 to provide medical aid to the disease-ravaged country. Based at the Sierra Leone-China Friendship Hospital in Freetown, capital of Sierra Leone, Xiong's daily routine there is packed with surgeries due to a shortage of staff members.

　　3月10日，中塞友好医院收治了一名35岁的当地男子，他急性腹痛3天，且已神志不清。由于病情紧急，院长卡努请熊邦文进行紧急会诊。经检查，患者腹部隆起，全腹压痛、反跳痛，已有感染性休克。由于医院没有CT，诊断不能明确，且病人不宜转运检查。

　　On March 10, for example, a 35-year-old man who had suffered from acute abdominal pain for three days and had fallen into a clouded mental state was sent to the hospital. As the hospital was unequipped with modern medical facilities, such as a type B ultrasound scanner and CT scanner, a diagnosis couldn't be made.

　　危急时刻，熊邦文结合自己多年的临床经验，判断患者可能是乙状结肠扭转，必须马上手术。否则，患者将有生命危险。

　　Based on the limited availability of sophisticated medical equipment, Xiong used his rich clinical experience to diagnose a volvulus sigmoid colon.

　　术中，发现患者乙状结肠扭转并坏死，随后，他果断而谨慎地为其进行了坏死结肠切除术。经过4小时的救治，熊邦文及其团队成功挽救了这名男子的生命。

　　After four hours, Xiong and his team managed to save the critically ill patient in the first sigmoid colon torsion necrosis operation performed in Sierra Leone. More>>
