The ancients said: "Those who know are not as good as those who know; It is better to know people and be good at their duties than to know them. " ("The Analects? This passage reveals a very simple truth: people who are unwilling to learn are not as good as those who like to learn, and those who like to learn are not as good as those who regard learning as fun. So is being a doctor. If you want to be a good doctor and make achievements in medicine, you must first be interested in loving your major and enjoying it. Only in this way can you achieve outstanding achievements in your career. It is hard to imagine that a person who is subjectively uninterested and has no ambition can achieve success and achievement in his major. From the perspective of medical history, many famous medical scientists are people who have a strong interest and firm ambition in medicine since childhood.
Zhang Zhongjing (Han Dynasty), a "medical sage", is one of the main founders of the theoretical basis of traditional Chinese medicine. Although it has been nearly two thousand years now, the related theories such as Treatise on Febrile Diseases, which he founded, are still the core theories of Chinese medicine. On this basis, successful medical scientists in past dynasties engaged in theoretical and clinical research of traditional Chinese medicine. The core of his theory is not only unparalleled, but also shines with infinite scientific brilliance. According to historical records, Zhang Zhongjing was known as a "child prodigy" when he was a child, and he had the gift of "memorizing thousands of words every day and never forgetting anything". He studied medicine with Zhang Bozu when he was young. Thanks to hard study and hard practice, he made rapid progress in medical theory and practice, and soon became better in Bozu. Later, he entered the official career and held important positions in Changsha. At that time, Changsha was also a prosperous city in the south. He can also be called an "upper-middle-class cadre" when he was a satrap, but he still didn't forget to study medicine and didn't "only care about fame". According to records, when he was an official, he often took off his official uniform and went to the folk to treat the people, which was deeply loved by the people. In a hierarchical feudal society, he was able to study medicine so persistently. In addition to his good moral quality, he showed great interest in exploring the mysteries of medicine and saving lives. He regards treating patients as a pleasure.
More importantly, he doesn't care about personal fame or promotion. Judging from his age as a magistrate in Changsha, he is in middle age, which can be said to be a good time for officialdom to be proud and possibly promoted, but he has no interest in it. When he saw the tragic scene of "white bones exposed in the wild and no crows in a thousand miles", he resolutely resigned from his post and became a doctor to save the people from "poverty and illness". In order to concentrate on studying medicine, he gave up his official position and returned to his hometown Nanyang to concentrate on studying medicine. He summed up the predecessors' theories and combined his own practice to write Treatise on Febrile Diseases, which became one of the theoretical founders of traditional Chinese medicine.
According to historical records, when he left Changsha, many people felt sorry for him for abandoning his official position and becoming a doctor. Many people who have been treated by him feel even more inseparable from this rescuer who is not a relative but better than a relative. The people who saw me off along the way stretched for more than ten miles, and the crying in the crowd was deafening. It can be seen that he is not only a deeply loved official, but also a good doctor with strong sympathy and sense of responsibility. In Zhongjing, the old saying "either a good doctor or a good doctor" is the most fully reflected. As you can imagine, an intellectual living in a feudal society needs great determination to reach such a state and make such a decision! This shows that his interest in medicine and his great spirit of dedication to medicine are indestructible. It is conceivable that it is no accident that he can make such a contribution to medicine. Generate has exerted great power on his ambition and interest in medicine, which is a powerful driving force for him to resolutely abandon his official position and become a doctor.
Li Dongyuan in Jin Dynasty was one of the four famous doctors in China. His theory of spleen and stomach opened a new era of medical theory at that time, and it is still widely used in clinic by Chinese medicine, and it is also an important part of Chinese medicine system theory. Li Dongyuan was born in a wealthy family. In feudal society, families like him usually chose official career, but he went against the wishes of relatives and friends. Because my sad mother died in vain in a quack, I feel very anxious about my confusion and ignorance of medicine. So I gave up my wealth and attractive career prospects, donated my daughter to study medicine and decided to be a good doctor among the people. With the help of my good cultural foundation, I have devoted myself to studying the medical theories of my predecessors, combined with my clinical practice, and constantly summed up my thoughts and absorbed their essence on the basis of inheriting my predecessors. Later, he became one of the four famous doctors in Jin and Yuan Dynasties. As you can imagine, his main motivation for focusing on medical research comes from his mother's death in vain. Once he became a doctor, he devoted his life to exploring and studying countless mysteries of medicine. His ambition is not only to teach himself, but also to let more people master the correct medical theory, so that more people can benefit and the world can avoid the suffering of quacks, which shows his great ambition. To be sure, without such ambition, Li could not have written Spleen and Stomach Theory.
In the medical history of our country, there is also a famous figure, who not only occupies an important position in the medical history of China, but also has a great influence in the history of world science. Ming dynasty famous doctor, author of Compendium of Materia Medica. His contribution laid the foundation for China's world botany research and medicine. According to records, his father is a businessman and his family has some savings. In addition, Shizhen has been smart and studious since childhood, and her intelligence is extraordinary. His father expected him to enter the official career and honor his ancestors. Li Shizhen took part in the first trial when he was young and was successful. He was also awarded an official position. However, Li Shizhen was interested in medicine, and although he won the official position, he failed to shake his ambition. When he was determined to abandon his official position and study medicine, he repeatedly begged his father to meet his requirements for studying medicine. When his father reluctantly agreed to study medicine, he wrote such a touching poem to his father: "The heart is stronger than iron, and the body is like sailing against the current." I hope that my father will follow his son's wishes and will not be afraid of difficulties until he dies. " It is because of his firm belief and lofty ambition to become a doctor since he was a child that he was able to set foot in Qian Shan, travel across mountains and rivers, collect herbs himself, almost traveled all over China on foot, went deep into the people and read more than 800 kinds of books. After more than 30 years, he finally wrote Compendium of Materia Medica. Hard work is very tolerable. If we look for his intrinsic motivation, it is his heartfelt ambition to join medicine. Practice has proved that most of the medical scientists who have made outstanding contributions to medicine have set up great ambitions to join medicine or have a strong interest in exploring medical mysteries since childhood. It can be said that this is an important feature of the success of famous medical scientists at all times and all over the world. Traditional Chinese medicine is like this, so is modern western medicine. Many outstanding medical scientists also have a strong interest in medicine. Now list one or two.
British bacteriologist Alexander? Fleming (188 1 ~ 1955), born in a poor peasant family, lost his father at the age of 7, and lived alone with his half-brother. In the basic education stage, he mainly relied on hard self-study. From this point of view, his childhood family environment did not give him unique conditions, but he loved nature from an early age and had a strong interest in all phenomena in his living environment. This interest in the surrounding things has gradually grown into an ambition to join science and become its own internal motivation.
When he was a child, one of his relatives fell ill. He went to the hospital with his mother to visit him. He asked his sick relatives, "What's wrong with you and how did you get it?" The patient can't answer. He went to ask the doctor again, but the doctor couldn't answer the real reason, saying, "Son, there are still many diseases that people don't know." Fleming remembered the doctor's words and made a great ambition to study diseases and uncover countless medical mysteries. In World War I, he was drafted into the army. Although he was promoted to colonel after the war, he did not accept the advice of his relatives and friends and became an officer with both fame and fortune, but returned to medical research. Twenty-five years later, he finally applied penicillin to clinic in 1944, which opened a new era of human medical science. 1945 won the Nobel Prize in Medicine. Penicillin is still benefiting countless people.
Swedish biochemist Hugo? Theorel was born in the family of a surgeon. Influenced by his family since childhood, he developed a strong interest in medicine and decided to devote himself to it. Unfortunately, he was paralyzed by illness at the age of 27. However, this misfortune did not shake his ambition to devote himself to medicine. When he was leafing through the information in his hospital bed, he saw a passage written by Betzerius, one of the founders of the Swedish Medical Association, in the Yearbook of Medicine 1935: "There is such a new force that produces chemical activities in the human body, which belongs to both the inorganic world and the organic world. This power is undoubtedly more extensive than we have imagined so far, and its essence is still a mystery to us ... "He was very excited after reading this passage and firmly believed that it was a catalytic force. He temporarily forgot that he was a patient, and the whole sick body and mind were attracted by this "mystery" and determined to do everything to solve this physiological mystery. Although he was promoted to associate professor of medicine and physiology at Uppsala University in 1932, in order to realize his great ambition. Still declined the family's dissuasion, and resolutely went abroad to Berlin, Germany with a disabled body. He engaged in enzymology research with amazing perseverance, and finally achieved gratifying results, and won the Nobel Prize in Medicine in l955. This is enough to illustrate the importance of its own factors. A person with disabled legs can achieve such great achievements. It is conceivable that he encountered many more difficulties than normal people. If he doesn't have a firm ambition, I'm afraid he can't achieve it.
The above examples show that the internal motivation of medical scientists who have made outstanding achievements depends largely on their own interests and wishes. Under modern conditions, many doctors who want to achieve clinical success also need to have firm aspirations. In recent years, the media constantly reported that some doctors who have been working at the grassroots level for a long time have also made admirable achievements. From the objective environment, it does not provide them with a unique advantage. Their working environment is much worse than that of qualified hospitals in big cities. However, with their persistent pursuit of medicine and persistence in medicine, they have made achievements that are difficult to achieve in big cities and hospitals. Zhou, for example, was born in a big city and rooted in a remote rural area. He has made outstanding achievements in microsurgery for 20 years. Although his working environment did not have the conditions to carry out this work at first, he had to overcome the difficulties and create conditions to meet the needs of patients and realize his responsibility as a doctor because he saw that many local patients needed replantation of severed limbs and needed this work. Professor Li Guoqiao searched for the regularity of malaria occurrence in order to prevent malaria. He risked being infected at any time regardless of his own safety. He often travels alone in the backcountry where wild animals haunt and roads are rugged. For eighteen years, he has walked through the formidable jungle. What strength does he rely on? It is also a firm belief, a strong enterprising spirit, and has a strong interest and great ambition in countless "mysteries" and problems in medicine.
