The obstetrician has a beauty that "captivates thousands"

After 11am, the 31-year-old doctor with wavy hair, holding a transparent white umbrella, hurriedly walked to the meeting place in the spring rain on the streets of Hanoi. Seeing him enter the shop, the customers there turned to look at the tall guy, wearing a black and white checkered vest that matched his face like a Korean actor. The night before, obstetrician Tran Vu Quang was on duty, only performed two surgeries so he was lucky to get some sleep. Changing into a white blouse after work, he returned to his artistic look, with a passion for photography and modeling.

Quang currently works in the obstetrics and gynecology department of the Central Obstetrics Hospital. His working day starts from 7:30 am to 4:30 pm. In addition to his time at the hospital, he also has a weight loss and beauty center for postpartum women. During his lunch break, he goes to these places to meet and consult with customers. On his personal page, the hot boy in white blouse also diligently interacts with patients; is ready to answer pregnancy questions, and even patiently listens to pregnant women confide. The doctor is happy when patients trust him and often attaches his name to each photo of their children. For many families, he is a benefactor and close friend.

The opportunity to become a midwife

Quang confided that the medical profession came to him as a destiny. He was admitted directly to the IT major of Lam Son High School for the Gifted, Thanh Hoa, thanks to winning a national prize. After finishing 10th grade, Quang switched to Biology because he loved natural subjects and won second prize in Biology when he was in 11th grade. After graduating from high school, he went straight to Hanoi Medical University. After 6 years of diligent study, combined with academic achievements and extracurricular activities, the young man from Thanh Hoa worked at the Central Maternity Hospital, which had a large number of patients and required high professional qualifications.

His family also has a tradition of working in the medical field. Quang initially planned to major in surgery, but after graduating, he switched to obstetrics. Up to now, he has been working as an obstetrician and gynecologist for 7 years and the more he works, the more he loves his job.

Sipping tea, the doctor slowly talked about his job of saving people and the moment of welcoming babies into the world. He confided that an obstetrician must have the skills of an internist because he knows how to prescribe medicine; the skills of a paraclinical doctor because he knows ultrasound and imaging; and the ability to do surgery because he can perform surgery. His department is considered the place to receive all cases of pregnant women with medical problems. There are so many patients that sometimes he has to perform 10 surgeries a day, each lasting 40-50 minutes, or even 1.5 hours, depending on the difficulty. Many times when performing emergency surgeries on patients, he and his team do not have time to eat; lunch often runs late.

Quang remembers clearly his first emergency surgery on an overweight pregnant woman. To hone his clinical skills, a surgeon must spend many years assisting the main surgeon in tying sutures, stopping bleeding, and suturing before he can actually perform the surgery. After two years of assistance and training, his surgical incisions are now as beautiful and safe as they are now.

According to Dr. Quang, many people think that cesarean section is simple, but in reality, it requires the doctor's concentration and experience. If the knife or scissors are even slightly careless, the prognosis of the surgery will be different because it is related to the lives of both mother and baby.

When it comes to emergency surgery, he is most afraid of cases of placenta accreta. His department often encounters cases of placenta previa and complications of placenta accreta. This disease is common in people who have had cesarean sections for the second time or more. The placenta penetrates the incision, penetrates the bladder, causing hypervascularization and massive bleeding during cesarean section.

Normally, the doctor will use an ultrasound to diagnose the condition of placenta accreta. However, many pregnant women go into labor and are suddenly admitted to the hospital for emergency surgery without having time to evaluate, consult, or do an ultrasound. The team thought it was a normal placenta previa but did not expect to have placenta accreta. During the surgery, before the fetus could be removed, the blood vessels had already flooded the patient's abdomen, forcing the team to act quickly, otherwise they would have to consult with a more specialized doctor.

"Once, I encountered such a serious case, the patient's face was completely bloodless from fear. At that time, the patient's life was in the doctor's hands. The whole team needed to remove the fetus as quickly as possible, then resuscitate the baby and immediately stop the bleeding for the mother. If there was a lot of blood loss, the pregnant woman had to be actively transfused with blood. In many cases, the uterus had to be removed, otherwise the bleeding would be extremely heavy. The anesthesiologist also had to be strong and transfuse blood continuously," said Dr. Quang.

To gain more experience in his work, Dr. Quang often follows his patients closely until they give birth, both to support them and to check whether his treatment plan, examination and ultrasound results are correct. If the surgery is not on the day of his duty, he tries to arrange to go to the hospital to follow his patients as closely as possible.

During his years of working, he has encountered many impressive cases, including the case of a pregnant woman over 50 years old carrying twins in Hai Duong. This woman became pregnant through IVF (in vitro fertilization) and was hospitalized when she was over 30 weeks pregnant. She and her husband had an only son but unfortunately passed away in an accident. She did IVF when she was over 50 years old due to pressure from the family line and psychological stress. Doctor Quang took care of and kept the pregnancy for the elderly pregnant woman until full term and then successfully performed a cesarean section. The twins, one boy and one girl, were finally born smoothly to the happiness of the family.

At work, Dr. Quang is serious and meticulous, but every time he welcomes a baby into the world, he always pays attention to the smallest details of each child because he sees the artistry in them.

"I cherish every moment of my children. I am a bit of an artist so I want to 'slow motion' when taking the baby out of the mother's womb. Besides professional matters, I also like to look at the baby's face to see if it is round or baby, old or young and try not to miss any details, even though it happens very quickly. I feel excited and tiredness disappears when I see the baby being born," Dr. Quang shared.

The doctor loves beauty

At the hospital, Dr. Quang is loved by pregnant women and their families not only for his dedication, enthusiasm and openness, but also for his "showbiz-like" appearance. Many patients who come to see him for the first time are hesitant because of his youthful appearance. But then, he makes them trust his skills thanks to his friendly way of speaking and his meticulousness in work. By now, colleagues and patients have "got used to" his appearance and like that style. The doctor's personal page has a large number of followers, mainly patients who have been treated by him.

The doctor is passionate about beauty and has been a famous beauty consultant at major cosmetic centers and hospitals in Hanoi for many years. Dr. Quang cares about appearance, likes a youthful, colorful life and lives according to his age. He always pays attention to his lifestyle and exercises to have a balanced body, no wrinkles, a fresh and vibrant look. In addition to his work at the hospital, he participates in many artistic fields to balance his life.

In the near future, Dr. Quang plans to participate in several film projects, while continuing to work as a photo model and ambassador for many prestigious beauty and medical brands.
