“Pediatricians treat children who are in the most vulnerable period in their life”
“But miracles happen a lot in the same period”
My name is Yunhui and I’m the director of Hi Pediatricians
In the current society, there is a lack of pediatricians
One pediatrician may need to treat 2,000 children at the same time
Hunan Provincial Children’s Hospital is the biggest specialized children’s hospital
In the mid-south area
Over 1 million children come here for help every year
A pediatrician deals with not only the sick child
But also his or her restless parents
“Doctor, have you seen a child bitten by a fish”
“He’s 39.4 °C and you shouldn’t covered him in blanket”
“39.7°C”
“Excuse me. Thank you”
“I dragged my son out from under the car”
In EICU
You can see the most ridiculous and miserable things
“A patient was hurt by a laundry hanging pole in his neck”
“The wound extended over the sternocleidomastoid”
“If the pole inserts into the vein”
“There might be a massive hemorrhage”
“The pole goes in so deep”
“If it goes further in a bit, the child might have dead”
“I must criticize you seriously’
“If it goes in straightly, then you might have lost your son”
Showing how miserable life is
That is not what I want to do
I want to show the audience how hard-working and struggling the doctors are
Obviously Yubao suffered from brain development deformation
She was very outgoing
She was only two, but she had had 5 operations
“Craniosynostosis”
“It’s the last malformation found in her”
The last surgery was quite difficult
Her skull was divided into over 20 pieces of different sizes
Her mom wrote 21 books of diary
To record details of her life in the hospital
She wrote with all her heart
“How long has the surgery lasted”
“4 hours”
“Despite the existence of some water on her brain, we don’t think she is less intelligent”
“We have to take our time. We parent her as a one-year-old baby although she is already 2 years and 8 months old”
Because of the parents
Even the child has the cruelest fate
Her life is full of sun
Medical science is not magic. It’s not omnipotent
There was a child suffered from acute myocarditis
In order to save her
Doctors darted the high-speed railway station
But the child passed away before they arrived
“Compression doesn’t work”
She had come to this world
And when she left, she might didn’t know
That several strangers ran like mad in a railway station for her
The moment really touched me
“For a doctor, at such a moment”
“He really can do nothing”
We filmed in the hospital for 3 months
24/7
We also interviewed 105 pediatricians respectively
We followed the protagonist doctors on their ways to work and home
We also have scenes of their assistants opening the doors and calling the patients’ names
One of the purposes of the documentary
Is to provide young parents with some childcare knowledge
That’s also the main reason why the pediatricians are willing to show up in the documentary
Doctors treat patients
But we tend to forget that they’re also ordinary people
When they take off the white coat
The documentary is tended to draw more attention to the occupation
Because they’re protecting our children
The future of the country and the society
