There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand hearts, but every medical student has a hospital that they yearn for, that is, Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Someone once described Peking Union Medical College Hospital this way: "Yama Wang let you go three times, and Concordia left you to five more." "It sounds a bit exaggerated, but it shows how powerful Peking Union Medical College Hospital is."
As the number one hospital in China, Concord has not only treated countless patients, but also trained countless excellent doctors. In the course of the historical development of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, there is such a female doctor who has to mention that she is the first Chinese female doctor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, and she has also delivered more than 50,000 babies, among these babies there are academician Yuan Longping, the father of hybrid rice, Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin's children Liang Congjie, and the three children of The Chinese literary giant Bingxin, so she is also known as the "Mother of Ten Thousand Babies", and she is Lin Qiaozhi.
Lin Qiaozhi was born in 1901 in an ordinary family in Siming Town, Gulangyu Island, Xiamen, and at that time, people generally had a feudal idea of favoring sons over women, and women at that time had no social status at all, but were only regarded as appendages of men. Fortunately, the geographical location of Gulangyu Island in Xiamen is pleasant, so many foreigners and missionaries live on the island, and it is precisely for this reason that the people on Gulangyu Island are more enlightened, and Lin Qiaozhi's father Lin Liangying is an open-minded person, who taught Lin Qiaozhi English from an early age and educated her to be an independent woman in the future.
Lin Qiaozhi did not study medicine at first, and the reason why she chose medicine later was because of her sad past. When Lin Qiaozhi was 5 years old, her mother died of cervical cancer, so on that typhoon-raging night, Lin Qiaozhi's heart planted a bud of wanting to become a doctor.
After the completion of Peking Union Medical College in 1921, Lin Qiaozhi, who taught at Xiamen Women's Normal College, heard the news, and the bud of being a doctor in her heart was completely opened, and she ignored the opposition of her family and applied for the college in spite of her family's opposition.
At this time, Lin Qiaozhi is 20 years old, her family planned for her life route is to marry and have children, if she goes to Peking Union Medical College for a few years, then she will become an older leftover girl, this planned route is completely disrupted, because the road to study medicine is too long. But Lin Qiaozhi didn't care about this, she only wanted to study medicine to save people, and it was precisely for this reason that she spent her life in her studies and did not marry anyone.
In order to successfully enter Peking Union Medical College, Lin Qiaozhi did a lot of preparatory work, with her knowledge at that time, the entrance examination was certainly no problem, but in the process of taking the English test, her friend Yu Qiongying suddenly fainted from heat stroke on the way to the exam, in order to rescue Yu Qiongying, Lin Qiaozhi interrupted his English test, carried Yu Qiongying to a cool place, and quickly handled this emergency. But when she returned to the exam room after solving it, she found that the exam was over.
Lin Qiaozhi thought that her path of studying medicine was over, so she returned to Gulangyu Island in despair, but she did not expect that a month later she actually received an acceptance letter from Peking Union Medical College! It turned out that the teacher in the examination room at that time reported Lin Qiaozhi's rescue to the school, and the school took into account her good qualities, as well as her fluent spoken English and excellent results in other subjects, and finally admitted her out of the box.
In 1929, Lin Qiaozhi graduated from Peking Union Medical College medical college with a doctorate, and was hired by Peking Union Medical College Hospital as a obstetrics and gynecology doctor in the hospital, so Lin Qiaozhi not only became the first Chinese female doctor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Peking Union Medical College, but also became the first Chinese student to graduate and stay in the hospital.
During her time at Concordia, she was the only female doctor in the gynecology department, and although she was just starting out, female patients still liked to see her, after all, it was easier to communicate and understand between the same sex. Feeling the trust of the patients, Lin Qiaozhi worked harder, and in only half a year, she was successfully promoted to residency, while it takes at least five years for the average person to complete the process.
In 1932, Lin Qiaozhi was sent to the United Kingdom for further study, and later to Austria and the United States for further study, until 1940, when she finished all her studies and returned to her motherland, she was promoted to the director of obstetrics and gynecology after returning from study, and she was also the first Chinese female director of Xiehe.
At the end of 1941, Peking Union Medical College Hospital was forced to close because it was occupied by the Japanese. Lin Qiaozhi, who lost her workplace, did not give up her medical career, but instead opened a private clinic in Beijing's Dongtangzi Hutong to continue to admit patients. In these six years, she has treated a total of 8887 female patients, and for those poor patients, she not only exempts patients from medical expenses, but even takes the initiative to help them, and it is for this reason that Lin Qiaozhi is called a living bodhisattva by patients.
In 1948, at the invitation of medical educator Li Zong'en, Lin Qiaozhi closed her clinic and returned to Xiehe Hospital.
On the eve of the founding of New China in 1949, Lin Qiaozhi received an invitation to the founding ceremony. But she did not participate, because she thought that she was a doctor, should be mainly to treat the sick, and she has never cared about politics, in the previous period of the Liberation War, Chiang Kai-shek's health doctor Lu Zhide once wrote to her, hoping that she could take sides with the Kuomintang, but Lin Qiaozhi did not reply, but directly ignored.
Although the reopened Union Hospital has become civilian, so that ordinary people can also afford to be sick, but there are often some patients with special identities to see the patient.
One day, the nurse led two plainly dressed women, and they hung up Lin Qiaozhi's expert number (the price of the expert number was 10 times that of the ordinary number). After Lin Qiaozhi saw it, he said directly: "In the future, you don't need to hang up the expert number, you have to spend a lot of money, and the ordinary number can also be, that is, you need to wait a little longer." ”
After sending the two women away, the nurse asked in surprise, "Don't you know who that patient is?" Lin Qiaozhi shook his head after listening, the nurse saw that Lin Qiaozhi really did not know, said: "The patient who saw the patient was Premier Zhou's wife", Lin Qiaozhi quickly turned over the case after listening to it, and saw the patient's name - Deng Yingchao.
This contact with Deng Yingchao made Lin Qiaozhi change her impression of politicians, and later she received a notice from the zhongnanhai meeting, and she did not ignore it this time, because this meeting was presided over by Premier Zhou, and she wanted to see for herself what a political party is like today.
After this meeting, Lin Qiaozhi found that the Communist Party and the Kuomintang are completely different, and today's ruling party is not focused on the struggle for rights like the Kuomintang, but a political party that really does practical things for the people. It is precisely because of this that Lin Qiaozhi changed her previous stereotype of the Communist Party.
One day in 1962, Lin Qiaozhi received a letter named Jiao Haitang. Jiao Haitang is a female worker in Baotou City, Inner Mongolia, she has given birth to 4 children before, but in addition to the first childbirth, the other 3 children are all yellow and died after birth, and now she is pregnant with her 5th child, she does not want to experience the pain of losing her son, so she sent a letter to Lin Qiaozhi, wanting to ask Lin Qiaozhi what she should do.
Through the description of symptoms in the letter, Lin Qiaozhi determined that Jiao Haitang's children were suffering from jaundice, that is, neonatal hemolysis, which was a homogeneous immune disease caused by the blood group discord between the baby and the mother.
Lin Qiaozhi was very distressed about Jiao Haitang's experience, but she did not know whether she could help Jiao Haitang, because at that time, there were no cases of newborns surviving jaundice in China, and it was also rare internationally.
Lin Qiaozhi could not bear to let Jiao Haitang experience the pain of losing her son again, so she went through the international medical materials, looking around for a cure, and finally customized a special plan for Jiao Haitang's fifth son.
After delivering Jiao Haitang at that time, the child did begin to slowly turn yellow, the red blood cells were destroyed, and hemolysis began to appear, and if the bilirubin became high enough, the child would die prematurely.
At this time, Lin Qiaozhi began to draw blood for the child every minute, drawing 15 ml of dissolved blood and injecting 8 ml of new blood. Because the newborn is very fragile, if a little mistake is made, then the child is gone, so Lin Qiaozhi is stuck every minute with time and blood volume to draw blood for the newborn, which lasts for more than an hour before the newborn's syrupine is replaced. It was precisely for this reason that the child was finally successfully saved, and later Jiao Haitang, in order to thank Lin Qiaozhi and other doctors, specially named the child Xiehe. This is also the first case of neonatal hemolysis cure in China.
In 1978, Lin Qiaozhi suffered from several comas due to "ischemic cerebrovascular disease", and her relatives and friends often advised her not to work anymore, but she still insisted, and even asked the nurse to notify her if she encountered an emergency patient, even if she was sleeping in the middle of the night.
In 1983, Lin Qiaozhi's condition deteriorated, and she intermittently shouted in her coma: "Give me forceps, another fat doll." On April 22 of the same year, Lin Qiaozhi finally passed away at the age of 82.
Before her death, Lin Qiaozhi made a will to donate the thirty thousand yuan she had saved in her life to the hospital nursery to do the last thing for the children.
Although Lin Qiaozhi did not marry and have children in this life, she delivered 50,000 newborns through her hands, and for her, these 50,000 newborns are her children, and this is also the medical career she cherished in her life.
