Distance
Abstract：As a community doctor, compared with doctors in tertiary hospitals, we are closer to patients and have more communication. Among the patients I have treated, there is an old man named Mr. Zhao, whose story left a deep impression on me. Mr. Zhao is in his eighties and has been plagued by various chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, heart failure, and asthma for a long time. Every month, he comes very regularly to the community service station to get his medication. However, that day was not his medication day, and Mr. Zhao came into the clinic with a cane, walking slowly. After sitting down, he was breathing heavily and spoke after a while. It turned out that he had felt extreme chest tightness recently, especially after physical activity, and the discomfort became more intense. After a detailed inquiry and physical examination, I concluded that Mr. Zhao's discomfort was likely caused by heart failure.
