Woman，73，Takes Long Trip to Thank Doctor for Cure “We meet again at last” was all Cao Xiaoshan, 73, could say when she saw Wang Xiujiang, a doctor, in Changchun, Jilin Province after a 200­day absence. Cao, from Wuhan, Hubei Province, had visited Wang in March, and he helped cure her novel coronavirus pneumonia1.He was a visiting member of the first medical team from Jilin to support Hubei Province. Wang comes from the department of lung disease2 at the Affiliated Hospital3 of Changchun University of Chinese Medicine. He started work in the Tongji Hospital right away after his arrival in February. Cao was his first patient. She was still in a serious condition when she came to him after 28 days of hospital treatment. Her age and underlying4 diseases, including bladder cancer5, made her a high­risk patient. “I was suffering from severe chest tightness6, chest pain，breathing difficulties and other symptoms caused by the novel coronavirus. It made me feel helpless，” she said. “Wang's encouragement helped me calm down.” After about two weeks of treatment by Wang, Cao tested negative7 for the novel coronavirus three consecutive times and left the hospital on March 16. Twelve days later, Wang and his teammates returned to Jilin after they finished their support task in Wuhan.“It was really a pity that I couldn't see them off, because I was still in quarantine，” Cao said. “When my life gradually returned to normal, I sent a letter to express my thanks to the hospital and Doctor Wang. But I still felt it was not enough, as I couldn't say thanks personally.” With her husband, Cao flew to Changchun, 2，000 km away from her home. In the hospital, Wang examined Cao and found she was recovering well. “Those who don't have such an experience may never understand my feeling，” she said.“I will never forget the Jilin medical team in my whole life, especially Doctor Wang.” [词汇梳理] 1．novel coronavirus pneumonia新型冠状病毒肺炎 2．disease /dɪ'ziːz/ n．疾病 3．Affiliated Hospital附属医院 4．underlying
