Wu: Challenge the "King of Cancer"

Wu, an academician of China Academy of Sciences and "the father of hepatobiliary surgery in China", died on 22nd at the age of 99.

On August 5th, 201/2008, Xinhua News Agency broadcasted the manuscript "The Man Who Challenged the" Cancer King "-A Record of Wu, Academician of China Academy of Sciences and Dean of the Oriental Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital of the Second Military Medical University. The full text is as follows:

His hands, deftly and freely shuttling in the patient's body, cleanly separated dangerous tumors; His eyes always pay attention to the pain and needs of patients, and pay attention to every step of the progress of hepatobiliary surgery in China ... Wu, who has been a doctor for 68 years and is nearly 90 years old, still sticks to the outpatient clinic, operating room and hospital bed, writing the legendary life of a pioneer and founder of hepatobiliary surgery.

He accompanied our country's hepatobiliary surgery "to the world"

1922 One day in midsummer, Wu was born in a small mountain village in Baizhang Township, Minqing County, Fuzhou, and moved to Malaysia with his mother at the age of 5. 1937 when War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out, Wu Mengmeng, who had finished junior high school education, had the idea of returning to China to participate in the Anti-Japanese War. Three years later, he boarded a ship and returned home. /kloc-0 In the autumn of 943, Wu was admitted to the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Tongji University School of Medicine.

1in the spring of 956, Wu, then the attending physician of the Second Military Medical University, became famous in one fell swoop under the careful guidance of Professor Qiu Fazu, who is known as the "father of surgery in contemporary China". Qiu Fazu said to him: "The world medicine has developed rapidly, but liver surgery is still a weak subject at present. Liver surgery is almost blank in China. If you are really ambitious, you can develop in the direction of liver surgery. " Since then, Wu He's liver surgery has formed a lifelong indissoluble bond.

1958, after hearing foreign authorities assert that "it will take at least 20 or 30 years for China's liver surgery to reach the international level", Wu wrote eight words that night: "Go to the world". Under the pressure and encouragement, he made one success after another: he put forward the anatomical theory of "five leaves and four segments"; The method of intermittent hilar occlusion and hepatectomy at room temperature was established. Perform the first middle lobe resection; The concept of "second stage operation" for liver cancer was put forward. For giant liver cancer that cannot be resected temporarily, comprehensive treatment should be given first, and then resection should be performed after the tumor shrinks. ...

Wu knows that only by combining clinical surgery with basic research can we find a cure for liver cancer as soon as possible. Since 1976, Wu has led students to conduct a general survey of180,000 people in Shanghai, and explored the experience of early diagnosis of liver cancer. In the early 1980s, Wu took the lead in establishing the first specialized laboratory for liver cancer in China, which accumulated strength for the basic research of hepatobiliary surgery. In 2009, the state approved the establishment of the National Liver Cancer Science Center led by Wu.

He devoted himself to the rescue in front of the patient, like a relative.

China is a country with frequent liver tumors, most of which are in the middle and late stage when diagnosed, and the recurrence rate is high. Liver cancer is known as the "king of cancer", which is extremely malignant and kills tens of thousands of people every year. The patient's pain gave birth to big doctor's dedication. In addition to his firm patriotism, Wu's enthusiasm and selfless love for patients have supported his medical practice for nearly 70 years.

During an operation to instruct students, because hemostatic forceps on the artery was not clamped tightly, blood gushed out, and Wu's glasses were covered with blood instantly. Under the condition of being completely invisible, he blocked the bleeding mouth with his fingers for the first time by experience. Being nervous, the young student stabbed Wu's finger while sewing a needle. Wu poised, command to continue sewing. After the operation, Wu called the students together: "Putting patients first is the basic accomplishment of doctors." When nurse Lawu took the immunization shot, he said, "It's normal for surgeons to encounter this kind of thing, so don't be too nervous."

A patient with advanced liver cancer, cirrhosis and ascites came to Wu's clinic. He took the patient's hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll give you a hospitalization certificate and live here first." After the patient left, the assistant inexplicably asked, "Mr. Wu, this patient can't have surgery, and medication doesn't make much sense." Our beds are tense, why do you still accept him? " "I also know that I can't take him in, but he has been rejected by many hospitals. If we stop taking him in, he will definitely despair and maybe do something stupid. " Wu Shuo: "We should not only see a doctor, but also save people."

"For the way of medicine, morality comes first." Wu always remembers what teacher Qiu Fazu said. He not only dislikes doctors who are too poor, but also likes rich people. I hate the phenomenon of accepting patients' red envelopes and taking drug kickbacks. In his view, there is no distinction between high and low patients, and ignoring patients' lives is blaspheming the sacred title of doctors.

When making rounds, Wu will press the patient's abdomen and tap gently to listen; Slowly lift the patient's trouser legs to see if the legs are swollen; Carefully wipe the patient's forehead and feel whether the patient's temperature is normal; Sometimes I pull the clothes for the patient, then bend down and put the shoes where the patient can easily wear them.

Big doctor is sincere, he selflessly contributed his skills and wealth.

Wu has numerous honors and titles, but he values nothing more than three, one is party member, the other is a "doctor" who treats patients and the other is a "teacher" who treats students.

"My technology belongs to human beings, and I have no patent in Wu." Wu was never afraid that students would overtake him and steal his thunder. From 65438 to 0978, the state resumed the postgraduate enrollment system. "Let China hepatobiliary surgery stand in the forefront of the world!" Wu "dares to be the first in the world" and opened an independent discipline of hepatobiliary surgery; 1979 officially enrolled graduate students. Over the past half century, Wu has trained more than 65,438+000 master students, doctoral students and postdoctoral students, most of whom have become the backbone of hepatobiliary surgery in China.

Wu receives senior doctors from many local hospitals every year. During the operation, senior doctors always get close to him as much as possible and patiently explain the methods, essentials and skills of the operation to them.

Among Wu's seven brothers and sisters, he is the most famous and has the least money. Wu once said to his younger brother who advised him to go abroad for development: "I don't want to make money, but I can become a rich man at home if I want to make money." Money is something outside the body, and only career and spirit will last forever. "

From 65438 to 0996, Wu set up the "Wu Hepatobiliary Surgery Medical Fund" with personal savings of 300,000 yuan and donations of 4 million yuan from all walks of life. At present, the fund has developed into "Shanghai Wu Medical Science and Technology Foundation", with a total funding of 654.38 0.5 million yuan.
