Dr. Feng’s Advice

In a meeting last weekend with Asian-American leaders, Dr. Fauci praised Asian-American medical doctors’ contributions to our medical service, especially in this coronavirus pandemic time. Many of them risk their lives every day trying to save the lives of others.

Dr. Jian Wei Feng, a cardiovascular disease specialist from Houston Memorial Herman Hospital,  is one of them. Dr. Feng is not only an outstanding medical physician, his warm heart and kindness make him an Asian community leader who leads a lot of local organizations.

In the past few years, at almost all the community events we sponsored, Dr. Feng was always the one who gave us his full support.

When Dr. Feng was invited to our STV talk show, again he gave our audiences very practical and very useful advice for this difficult pandemic time.

He said that physically we need to do more exercise, eat healthy, get some sunshine and get enough sleep. He also suggested that we drink ginger, garlic and red carrots juice daily.

Psychologically we need to stay relaxed and not worry too much about the virus and don’t watch too much negative news. Dr. Feng believes that America has the very top medical resources,  especially in Houston, Texas. We have the largest medical center in the world here and we are able to handle all medical emergency cases.

A lot of Asian families have encouraged their kids to work in the medical field. But they still all worry about their safety, but their sacrifice and contributions are always highly appreciated by our community. Dr. Feng is one great model for us all.

We firmly believe that the worst will be over after all this tragic time.

Dr. Feng, we will be united again to celebrate your great work.

         亚裔医疗楷模 丰建伟医生

就在上週末，美国疾管中心传染病主任福其博士在会见亚太裔社区领袖时，就高度讚扬亚华裔对美国医疗界之贡献，尤其在此次新冠病毒在世界各地肆虐时期，前缐之医疗人员冒着生命之危险在抢救病患。

现任德州休斯敦西南纪念医学中心副院长的亚裔心臟科医生丰建伟博士就是其中非常优秀的领军人物，我认识丰医生多年，他的宽宏大量，热衷社会公益并以其便给之口才屡屡领导社区活动，堪称德才兼备。

近年来， 美南新闻集团所主办之各项活动，丰医生都全力支持，他也常说：“ 李兄，你们干媒体真不容易。”

今天丰医生又再度出现在美南电视的访问节目中，他对目前世界遭遇的新冠疫情做了两个非常贴切的忠告， 在生理上，我们要多运动，晒太阳， 有充分之睡眠， 增加适当之饮食营养， 并建议每天吃生姜，大蒜及红萝卜， 更要立即戒烟，它是最大的祸害。

在心理上更要放鬆心情，千万不要太过焦虑，调整个人心理状态，不要看太多负面资讯，他特别提到居住在休斯敦的市民，我们有全球最大的医疗中心及最优秀的医护人员， 我们一定能战胜这场无声的战争。

我们许多亚裔家庭的子女， 都站在新冠疫区之最前缐， 就如丰医生一样， 他对美国社会之牺牲奉献， 绝对是美国社会之楷模。

疫情总会过去，我们再一次向丰医生说声感谢，谢谢你对社区之伟大贡献！
