A place to entrust your faith

HNN - In the last days of April, like many other families eagerly preparing for the long holiday, a severe pain forced me to put aside all my plans and rush to the emergency room at Hue Central Hospital in the middle of the night. After being admitted, I was transferred to the Pediatric Surgery - Abdominal Emergency Department. The ward was crowded with people of all ages, from many different regions, but everyone was friendly, considerate, and respectful of each other.

The man in the bed next to me, originally from Kon Tum (formerly), shared that this was the fifth hospital he'd been to for treatment this time, and he'd noticed a significant difference in medical ethics compared to other places. While having lunch in the hallway, I overheard two people from Quang Binh (formerly) discussing how everyone from Ha Tinh to the Central Highlands and the coastal provinces of Central Vietnam had flocked here – no wonder it was so crowded! There were so many pitiful situations: wives caring for their husbands had to bring their young children along; even while lying in their hospital beds, they still managed to call home to remind people where to harvest or where to dry their rice…

Every morning, standing on the 7th-floor balcony of the ODA building, looking down at the Phu Xuan bridge spanning the "calm river," I see the bustling crowds of people coming and going. Looking back inside, I see a throng of patients, but everyone is orderly, speaking softly, and adhering to the rules and instructions of the medical staff. Day after day, the medical team overcomes the pressure, wholeheartedly caring for the health of patients. Although the facilities still don't meet patients' expectations, and the patient flow is high, sometimes overwhelming, everyone follows their assigned tasks according to procedures.

All six organ transplant patients in Hue have recovered well.On June 22, Hue Central Hospital announced that patient PMD (41 years old, residing in My Thuong ward, Hue City), who received a heart from a brain-dead organ donor in April 2026, has recovered and been discharged from the hospital. This is the last of six patients who received tissues and organs from the same brain-dead donor to be discharged after treatment.

During my hospital stay, I was particularly impressed by two people. First, the attending physician – a PhD holder and Deputy Head of Department – ​​was always cheerful and witty during examinations, helping patients temporarily forget their illnesses in an atmosphere filled with laughter. Yet, he was extremely serious when advising patients, giving orders, and guiding the resident doctors with decisiveness and confidence, demonstrating truly admirable professional competence and expertise. Second, the operating room technician, while preparing for anesthesia, constantly chatted with patients to ease their tension and anxiety on the operating table, acting like a true psychologist. Just asking about family background and medical history, his way of speaking was so endearing that I'll never forget it!

And there are many other faces and names I know in the department, but I won't mention anyone in particular, because they all leave the same impression on me. What is most valuable about them is their friendly, open attitude, sense of responsibility, and dedication to patients. They always listen, share, and care for patients with thoughtfulness and compassion, just as President Ho Chi Minh once advised doctors: "Love and care for patients as if they were your own siblings, consider their pain as your own pain."

For a long time, many people have expressed their desire to "live in Hue ..." and this is not a coincidence. The hospital by the Perfume River is one of the places where people place their trust.
