救人性命是世上最高贵的工作

上周五我亲自赶往深圳，德国足踝之父Olms教授今年第二次从德国汉堡飞来中国深圳。他在30年前创立了整个德国的足踝外科体系，并创立了德国足踝学会。12月11日至12月15日Olms教授在深圳市第二人民医院开始了国际客座教授的工作。包括门诊、查房、手术指导、手术实操、科室内部培训、科室管理讨论、重点疑难病例讨论、大师公开课等。傍晚时分，天色已暗，一抹橘红色的夕阳，衬着紫色云层，美得叫人叹息。做医生多么神气，救人性命是世上最高贵的工作，应该受人景仰。该院李文翠主任是中国足踝外科第一位著名女医生。她的整个足踝团队非常优秀。十年后，全世界最非比寻常的生活方式只有两种：要么深居简出，要么海角天涯。一边旅行一边工作的时代即将到来。我们在深圳宝安机场分别之时，Olms教授告诉我们：“他要一直致力于全球医院足踝外科的持续发展，这是他工作的意义。”一个国家，如果没有服务于百姓的目标，如果没有这种信仰，人与人之间，就只有自我满足。如果一律为自己精打细算，就会弱肉强食。失去敬畏，整个社会便是恶性循环。人才才能成就一家伟大的医院，医生才是一个国家的良知。这需要全球医院一代代无限真诚地耕耘、传承、相互援助。美德和技能全是依靠医生与医生之间直接传授。只有医疗强大，真正服务百姓，我们这个国家才可能成为真正的世界强国。热爱我们伟大的国家从我做起，从我们身边的每一个人做起。

Last Friday, I headed to Shenzhen in person to meet Dr. Olms, the pioneer of foot and ankle surgery in Germany, who flew from Hamburg, Germany to Shenzhen, China for the second time this year. 30 years ago, he founded the "Foot surgery foundation" in Germany, and is the founding President of GFFC (Association for Foot & Ankle Surgery). From December 11 to December 15, Dr. Olms conducted his work as an international visiting professor at the First Affiliated Hospital of Shenzhen University. His work included outpatient consultations, ward rounds, surgical guidance, internal lectures, discussions on department management and complex cases, and public lecture, etc. At dusk when the sky turned dark, the beauty of the sunset in tangerine with clouds in purple was beyond language. It is proud to work as a doctor. And saving people is the most noble job in this world that should be respected. Director LI Wencui, Head of the Hand And Foot Surgery Dept. in the First Affiliated Hospital of Shenzhen University, is the very first and top-ranking female foot and ankle surgeon in China. She has an excellent foot and ankle surgery team. Ten years from now, there will be only two extraordinary lifestyles in this world. One is to stay at home, the other is to travel around the world. The era that people work while traveling will soon come. When we saw Dr. Olms off at Shenzhen Baoan Airport, he told us that, He will be devoted in the continuous development of foot and ankle surgery of hospitals worldwide. And this is the sum and substance of his medical career. If people live in a country without goals and belief to serve its people, everyone will only work for their self-satisfaction. And if everyone work only for themselves, the society will become a jungle. Without respect, the society will be trapped in a vicious circle. Only with talents can a hospital become great. And doctors are the reflect of conscience of a nation. It needs hospitals worldwide of every generation to sincerely work hard, pass down the spirit, and help each other. Virtues and techniques are all dependent on the direct teaching of skilled doctors to young doctors. Only if our healthcare system is developed and can really serve people, can our country become a truly strong power in the world. Patriotism for our great country starts from me, from everyone around us.
