The whole family is relieved!

Zhou Li (not her real name) is 58 years old. She came to Beijing this time to take care of the children of her daughter and son-in-law. She also wanted to accompany her husband to recheck his previous polypectomy.

"I'm from Sichuan Province. My husband have had a general gastroenteroscopy done in my hometown before, and I thought about doing it for myself when I grew older. But I heard that the procedure of gastroenteroscopy was particularly uncomfortable, so I didn't have the courage." Zhou Li is 58 years old and her husband is 66 years old. Gastroenteroscopy is more necessary for people of this age. Routine physical examination can also find problems and treat them in time. However, the regular gastroenteroscopy is painful, and it is difficult to make an appointment with a good doctor in grade A hospitals. "My son-in-law told us last week that the Healstar Clinic wiich was close to his home was promoting painless gastroenteroscopy test. All the doctors to perform the gastroenteroscopy were invited from the digestive department of the famous top three hospitals in Beijing. We wanted to take advantage of the promotion and go together us four family members."

Considering that Ms. Zhou has diabetes, the head nurse and Dr. Su of internal medicine department arranged Ms. Zhou for the first person to do the gastroenteroscopy. At 8 a.m. on June 7, Zhou Li and her husband came to Healstar Clinic. Liu Jianxiang, director of digestive department of Peking University First Hospital performed the procedure.

"On the day before the examination, there was indeed some fear and worry. My husband suggested that the competition should be held to see who had a clearer stomach. My shape is relatively small, after two or three times of normal defecation, it was clear water very quickly to defecate, that I got the first place. They went to the toilet more times Ms. Zhou said jokingly.

"After the recovery of the anesthetic, I had a little hypoglycemia which maybe because I haven't eaten for a long time, and I was fine soon after I drank some porridge." Ms. Zhou told us that after anesthesia, she felt no pain or uncomfortable, the previous tension and worry have disappeared.

At 12pm, all the painless gastroenteroscopy examinations of four family members were finished. Dr.Liu explained the examination results carefully for them one by one. Fortunately, there was no polyp in the gastrointestinal tract of the members, and there were no other serious problems. Only Ms. Zhou's husband had a little gastritis. "After the examination, Dr. Su said that my husband's gastritis was not very serious. She prescribed some medicine for him. We were told that as long as he took the medicine on time and checked regularly, he would be fine. We were relieved."

"There's no need to line up here, no need to run upstairs and downstairs for examination. All the nurses are around you. After the examination, there are special rest rooms and nurses to take care of you. I will definitely recommend the painless gastroenteroscopy of Healstar Clinic to my friends when I go back." Ms. Zhou said happily.
