On August 8, the sixth Chinese Doctor's Day, on this occasion, the reporter visited three medical seniors who have been practicing medicine in Shanxi for 19 or <> years, and sent a message to "latecomers".

Listening to Yang Zhenning and Wen Yiduo, he visited Zhang Boling, and Ran Jiayan, born in 1927, studied at the Affiliated Middle School of Teachers College of National Southwest Union University and Xiangya Medical College. This old man who chose medicine during the war has insisted on practicing medicine for more than 70 years, serving Chinese medicine and Shanxi medicine with his lifelong learning. Since then, she has not only become the founder and discipline leader of hematology in Shanxi Province, but also established her academic status in the field of hematology in China.

I think studying medicine is like a pyramid, laying the foundation, slowly coming up, to a specialty. It can't be like this, it's unstable, it can't be a straight pillar, and it's easy to fall when the foundation is unstable to the top. Don't just rely on instruments to check, but you have to do it yourself and see with your eyes. See, touch, knock, and hear must be known, so that on the one hand, the problem will not be missed, and some unwanted inspections can be avoided.

Zhang Yongxing, born in 1934, graduated from Shandong Medical College and came to Shanxi, an important energy base, to provide support.

Shanxi is located on the Loess Plateau, cold and arid, coupled with serious industrial pollution and high incidence of respiratory diseases at that time. During his tenure as vice president of the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University, Zhang Yongxing established the Department of Respiratory Medicine, established the first Department of Rheumatology and Immunology in Shanxi, opened the first asthma clinic in Shanxi, and took the lead in the clinical application of invasive ventilators in Shanxi... Although he is in his nineties, Zhang Yongxing is still as loud as a bell.

Now that information is very developed, all kinds of information can be seen, and if you want to be a good doctor, you must not only have theory, but also practice. Medicine is practiced medicine, and a successful doctor must be tempered through thousands of trials. There should be such a festival to celebrate how our old-timers have trained a large number of doctors from generation to generation. It is very necessary to establish Doctor's Day and celebrate this holiday, not only doctors to celebrate, but also people across the country to celebrate, which is a very important holiday.

Compared with the two doctors mentioned above, Zhang Nianzu, who was born in 1936, is slightly younger. At the beginning of 2023, he had just finished his outpatient career that he had insisted on for many years.

In 1959, Zhang Nianzu, who graduated from Shanxi Medical College, stayed in school and was assigned to work in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, and successively served as the director of the Department of Otorhinolaryngology and the director of the Department of Otorhinolaryngology of the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University. He has been practicing medicine for more than <> years and has performed tens of thousands of surgeries.

I like to sing, so I also like to see sometimes, who has a hoarse voice, he has a problem with his voice, I always feel sorry for them, I hope I can do a little work in this area, so I signed up for the otolaryngology. I started a voice clinic, and then gradually, I also wrote a paper, sometimes I have to hold some academic conferences, take our articles, to the conference to give speeches, so that gradually we have a little influence on the outside, and everyone has an understanding of us.

As a doctor, we should indeed respect ourselves and be worthy of the expectations of the country and the people, so we should be stricter with ourselves and do more in line with the requirements of the country and the people, I think it should be like this.

【Commentary】Today's medical technology is changing with each passing day, and generations of medical people continue to move forward. Chinese Doctor's Day is not only an encouragement to doctors, but also an encouragement.
