医生最重要的是认知和雄心

医生必须要先有价值，医院才会重用你。你现在手中什么有价值的东西都没有。医院凭什么给你花钱？去年12月有个医生打电话通知我，医院决定让他做副院长了，因为他2023年5月从广州到柏林，他成为了德国著名关键学术领袖的博士生了。2月16日我从广州飞到柏林。我与他的德国导师开一个闭门会议，并有两场晚宴。今年这位医生就将毕业了，他也是中国这家三甲医院第一个德国临床医学MD博士。这个月医院也主动报销了他在德国的博士学费。如果两年前他沒有投资自己到德国读博，他永远就是一辈子呆在那科室。中国大多医生只知道门诊和手术。这仅仅是基本能力。其实医生最重要的是认知和雄心。你花钱买的衣服最后会破破烂烂，你花钱买的房会卖不出去，你花钱买的股票会套牢。只有你花钱出国学习，是求名师找贵人。最后你才会有了有价值的文凭，这是你进入顶级学术圈的入场券。这是提高你的认知，提高你的职业在线，为你未来几十年的职业生涯遮风避雨。你只有从一个普通医生变为优秀医生，你在医院就不用看任何人的脸色行事，商业的本质就是互惠互利，只要你有价值，医院就会求着你，都会捧着你，连院长都可以来哄着你。院长也要面子，院长也要帮他干活的人，院长也要业绩。在中国，你看随便一家三甲医院，过去有几个医生是德国临床医学MD博士，过去医院根本没有。没有的东西就有价值。努力学习，一是学好英文，二是搞好科研和临床，三是多发文章。

Doctors must first have value before the hospital will truly value and promote you. If you don’t have anything valuable in your hands right now, why would the hospital invest in you? Last December, a doctor called me to inform me that the hospital had decided to promote him to the position of Vice President. Because in May 2023, he went from Guangzhou to Berlin, and became an MD student under a renowned academic leader in Germany. On February 16, I flied fly from Guangzhou to Berlin. I had an internal meeting and two dinners with his doctoral supervisor. This year, the doctor will get his MD degree, becoming the first doctor in this Grade Ⅲ Class A hospital who holds a German MD degree. This month, the hospital also offered to reimburse the expenses for his doctoral stay in Germany. Had he not invested in studying for an MD degree in Germany two years ago, he would’ve stayed in his department for his entire career. Most doctors in China are dedicated only to outpatient consultations and surgeries. But that’s just the basic skill set. Actually what matters most for doctors is their vision and ambition. Clothes you buy will wear out eventually. The property you invest might not be easy to sell. Stocks you purchase may get stuck in a loss. Only money spent on studying abroad gets you career mentors and life changers. Eventually, you’ll gain a valuable degree. It is your ticket into top academia. This is how you expand your vision, enhance your professional visibility, and shield your career for decades ahead. Only when you transform from an ordinary doctor to an excellent doctor, will you no longer need to please anyone. The core of business is mutual benefit. Only when you are valuable, the hospital management will come to you. Everyone will support you - even the Hospital President will try to win you over. The Hospital President also cares about reputation. They need capable people to work for them. They also need performance results. In China, how many doctors in a Grade Ⅲ Class A hospital have been a German MD degree holder in the past? There was none at all in the past. Whatever is rare holds value. So work hard: First, improve your proficiency in English. Second, promote your research capability and clinical expertise. Third, publish more papers.
