Zhong Nanshan: Chairman, I want to "please fight", hoping to build a better platform
"As a doctor, I have the deepest experience that life is supreme, not giving up every life when treating patients with new coronary pneumonia. In the face of protecting people's lives, we must do whatever it takes, and we can do it at all costs." 8 Over the past month, 84-year-old Zhong Nanshan has been fighting on the front line of the epidemic.
Not only that, the young team he led has also achieved outstanding results in scientific research and clinical treatment.
On September 8, General Secretary Xi Jinping presented Zhong Nanshan with the "Medal of the Republic" at the National Commendation Conference for Fighting the New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic, affirming his outstanding contribution to the fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic.
Zhong Nanshan believes that obtaining the "Medal of the Republic" is the highest courtesy given by the party and the government to fight the epidemic, and it is more of a responsibility for him.
On September 10th, at the 36th Teacher’s Day meeting at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, Zhong Nanshan revealed that after the meeting, he said a few words to President Xi Jinping: “I will hurry up and express my meaning. The first sentence , Chairman, your speech is very good. In the second sentence, I want to "please fight", hoping to build a better platform to better carry out research on anti-epidemic drugs and vaccines. I have written a letter to you. "
Back in Guangzhou that same day, Zhong Nanshan saw a "starlight" flickering from a distance. It turned out to be a starry sky lit by mobile phone lights by the teachers and students who greeted him. They shouted "Nanshan vigorous, unparalleled scholar", which can be called a large-scale star chasing scene. .
Zhong Nanshan humorously revealed that when he walked the red carpet to receive the award, he deliberately walked faster.
"It means I'm not old yet, so I can do something!"
Dare to speak
In the fight against SARS 17 years ago, Zhong Nanshan said: “Send all the critically ill patients to me!” People who don’t know him may not know. In fact, he has confidence. “After practice, if there is no confidence, no basis, no Sure, I won't do this at all." Zhong Nanshan was 67 years old that year, and his first patient diagnosed with SARS was admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical College.
Under the background that "Chlamydia is the cause" has almost become a conclusive conclusion, Zhong Nanshan proposed and confirmed that SARS is a new type of coronavirus based on objective facts and clinical experience, which played a key role in getting the epidemic prevention and control work on track.
This year, the new crown pneumonia epidemic broke out. Zhong Nanshan, 84, reminded the public that "No special circumstances, don't go to Wuhan." However, holding a seatless ticket, he resolutely squeezed into the high-speed rail dining car from Guangzhou to Wuhan.
How many times, Zhong Nanshan choked and said, "The country helps, Wuhan can pass!" From "there must be human-to-human transmission" to "We survived", at each of the most anxious nodes, Zhong Nanshan can always stand up and tell the truth .
Dare to be doctors, speak up, and take responsibility.
As a leader in the field of respiratory disease research in my country, Zhong Nanshan’s prevention and control strategies and measures have saved countless lives and made great contributions to the prevention and control of atypical pneumonia and new crown pneumonia.
On August 27, using extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to assist with support for 111 days of new coronary pneumonia patient Lao Liu, he recovered from the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University and was discharged, creating a new miracle of treatment.
"Our team has such a tenacity. Rescue is a process from accident to inevitable." When Zhong Nanshan communicated with foreign colleagues, they were surprised that he could solve the patient's bleeding and coagulation problems at the same time in such a long time.
Zhong Nanshan said that everyone in the ICU team chose to stick to it in the face of difficulties. Life is precious and they never give up lightly.
Zhong Nanshan said, don't be imprisoned by old ideas, and don't be restricted by textbooks.
"I see no one in textbooks mentioning using ECMO for such a long time, but he just survived."
The biggest politics of doctors is to do their job well
"Not only must learn medical skills, but also learn how to be a human being." For medical students, Zhong Nanshan said seriously that learning to be a human is learning how to treat patients correctly and how to give them sympathy and courage.
Sang Ling, the first "retrograde" Guangdong doctor in Wuhan, was a student of Zhong Nanshan. This time he was awarded the National Advanced Individual in the fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic.
He said that as a student 17 years ago, he was not qualified to fight the SARS battlefield, but what he saw was the responsibility of defending his family and the country without fear of life and death, regardless of remuneration.
"Mr. Zhong said the most that the biggest politics of our doctors is to do our job well!"
Zhong Nanshan often said: "I'm just a doctor who sees a doctor." In the eyes of his students, this kind of precepts and deeds is more of a kind of inheritance.
In the war "epidemic" that began this spring, the post-80s, post-90s, and post-00s have all rushed to the forefront.
"We are living in the best times, and there is no reason not to work hard." Sang Ling recalled, talking on the phone with Zhong Nanshan on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Zhong Nanshan said that he was too busy at work to take a break, but said to him, "Hello. Rest and come back alive for me".
Sang Ling said that he has always been the dullest among all the students of Academician Zhong, but the dumb bird can fly first through hard work.
"I hope that in the future, Teacher Zhong can say to outsiders: Among so many students taught, Sangling is still a relatively qualified one."
Zhong Nanshan always praised young people, cared about frontline medical staff, and sworn to join the party after the 90s. He emphasized that "Chinese medical staff have always been angels in white" and affirmed the main role of young people.
"Young people are here, I am the happiest!"
Xu Yonghao, who fought the "epidemic" in Iraq for 50 days this year, was still assisting Tibet in Linzhi at the beginning of the epidemic.
Zhong Nanshan sent him a "difficult" errand and returned to Guangzhou to fight the epidemic, during which he joined the party under the oath of Zhong Nanshan.
As a student of Zhong Nanshan and an expert in critical care medicine, he feels extremely proud, because it is the duty of a doctor to save the dead and heal the wounded.
In Zhong Nanshan, Xu Yonghao saw the responsibility of party members and medical staff and the rigorous and meticulous work. Perseverance is the obsession of being a doctor.
"I will go wherever I am needed. This is taught to us by Academician Zhong." Xu Yonghao led the team to complete the first transfer of patients with critically ill new coronary pneumonia supported by ECMO in Guangdong; successfully unplugged the tracheal intubation for critically ill patients with new coronary pneumonia Management; participated in remote video consultations for many times, and actively made suggestions and suggestions for the optimization of treatment plans for critically ill patients in various regions...
Science and technology need young people to fight the epidemic
After the epidemic spread around the world, Zhong Nanshan has always been on the front line of international medical research while guiding treatment on the front line, connecting with colleagues around the world to exchange China's anti-epidemic experience.
Zhong Nanshan believes that “as long as one country does not intervene, the global new crown epidemic will not disappear. We must support each other.”
From fighting against SARS to fighting against new crown pneumonia, my country's scientific research capabilities have been tempered in the fight against the "epidemic".
Zhong Nanshan said that in the fight against SARS, more emphasis is placed on treating patients; in the "epidemic" of the new coronary pneumonia war, we have raised scientific research to the same important position as clinical treatment.
Not only wrote the thesis on the motherland, but also on the earth.
"Modern anti-epidemic warfare is a science and technology war, and scientific and technological breakthroughs must be raced against the virus. Whether it is virus detection or the law of virus transmission, whether it is the screening of therapeutic drugs or the formulation of treatment plans, they must run ahead of the virus. We must be precise and fast!" On January 23, Academician Zhong Nanshan brought student Yang Zifeng to the Guangdong Province Epidemic Response Symposium. This clinical virus research expert finally understood the teacher's intention.
A few days ago, "Zhong Nanshan Youth Science and Technology Innovation Award" and "Zhong Nanshan Youth Science and Technology Innovation Award Fund" were released.
Zhong Nanshan said with deep experience that innovation is the first driving force for development, and technology is the biggest weapon to overcome difficulties.
He hopes to inspire young people with potential through the Youth Science and Technology Innovation Award.
With 60 years of medical experience, Zhong Nanshan has been committed to promoting the construction of the national major respiratory infectious disease prevention and control system, leading the team to establish an internationally advanced new and idiopathic major respiratory infectious disease "prevention-monitoring-treatment-control" chain cycle management system, and establishing coverage National influenza surveillance sentinels have created early warning technology for respiratory virus titer to achieve longitudinal dynamic monitoring throughout the course of the disease.
Zhong Nanshan is always full of positive energy. He said that the key to a nation is to have a breath.
If this breath is always there, this nation cannot be defeated.
He also encouraged the students: "Not only must there be requirements, but also pursuits; not only must be ambitious, but also be upright; not only must have enthusiasm, but also have passion."
