"The whole flight lasted about 6 hours. When it reached one third, the radio on the plane suddenly sounded." Professor yang sijin, president of the institute of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine and affiliated hospital of traditional Chinese medicine of southwest medical university, recalled the situation at that time. after hearing the radio, professor yang sijin stood up decisively, walked quickly to the sick passengers, and immediately took care of the patient together with fellow orthopedic doctor Shi houyin, a Pakistani staff member and aviation crew member.

Yang Sijin immediately helped the patient to the seat, laid the patient flat, gave first aid, and continued to pay attention to vital signs such as the patient's pulse and blood pressure. About 20 minutes later, because there was no special emergency medicine on board to relieve gastrointestinal acute abdomen, yang sijin carried out traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture treatment for the patient. the patient's abdominal pain symptoms eased and his vital signs gradually stabilized. Although the patient has improved, yang sijin has been waiting beside the patient, observing and comforting him. All of a sudden, the patient began to vomit. Yang Sijin once again applied acupuncture treatment to the patient, pressing Zusanli, Hegu and other points. Thirty minutes later, when the patient's condition eased again, all the passengers on board breathed a long sigh of relief. The captain stepped forward to thank Yang Sijin and others for "well done." After the plane landed, Professor Yang Sijin and his entourage helped the patient to the stretcher waiting at the exit, put the patient into an ambulance, and entrusted Dr. Wang Qiong, affiliated traditional Chinese medicine hospital of Southwest Medical University, and airport medical staff to escort the patient. At present, the patient has been able to walk on his own and will fly to South Korea after receiving further examination and treatment.
