At 8:00 a.m. on November 20, the Ninth People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine opened a simple but special charity event. Eight patients with hearing impairment, cleft lip and palate, cataract diseases received free charity surgery. Since learning that she could come to Shanghai Ninth Hospital for charity surgery for cochlear implants, the tibetan girl Xiao Yicuo's face has bloomed with a long-lost smile. Since then, she will say goodbye to the silent world! Yicuo's father presented the expert with a white hatha, "Thank you, good mamba (Tibetan for "doctor") in Shanghai!" ”
When it comes to shanghai nine courtyards, what adjectives will pop up in the public's mind? Perhaps it is "magical" - many experts such as orthopedic surgery, oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthopedics, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, head and neck surgery and so on are committed to reducing decay and rebuilding self-confidence in life for patients. Here, there are the golden signboards of "one academy and four academicians", and there are also countless "nine people of the nine hospitals who have been working for the public for a long time and forging ahead in unity", continuing the blood of innovation and sowing the feelings of doctors.
In 1920, Bethel Hospital was founded, which is now the Nine Hospitals.
Inspire the "back wave", academician culture is passed on from generation to generation
On the ground floor of Building 7 of the Ninth Academy, there is a large academician wall, which displays the introduction of four professors, including Zhang Disheng, Qiu Weiliu, Dai Yinrong, and Zhang Volunteer, academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. Every day, patients from all over the country flock to the Ninth Hospital, with a desire to regain their lives.
It is an important incubation base for oral and maxillofacial surgery in China. The only two academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Qiu Weiliu and Zhang Volunteer, who are the only two academicians in China's stomatology community, happen to be a pair of teachers and apprentices. About a quarter of an hour's drive from the southern campus of the Ninth Academy to the Shanghai Institute of Precision Medicine, the 88-year-old academician Qiu Weiliu was in good spirits, "I am now going to rush to the seminar and meet with the students." On September 10 this year, Qiu Weiliu gave the first ideological and political lesson to the freshmen of the School of Stomatology, "The people of the Ninth Hospital help patients to pursue physical beauty, and they must achieve spiritual beauty, combine the patriotic spirit, the spirit of science and technology and the spirit of doctors, and they must not be satisfied with seeing several patients step by step." ”
Zhang Volunteer is still unforgettable, "the teacher has 6 tubes inserted in his body, the fever is 39 degrees, the sweat soaks the clothes and keeps dripping, but he still marks the students' graduation papers word by word." Look closely, some of the words have been fainted. "It was 1994, Qiu Weiliu suddenly had acute pancreatitis," I suddenly realized the true meaning of 'gan as a ladder'. ”
Although Qiu Weiliu has now left the operating table, he still maintains a strong curiosity about new things. Last year, the English journal of oral and maxillofacial surgery, Frontiers of Oral and Maxillofacial Medicine, which carries the dreams of Qiu Weiliu, Zhang Volunteer and several generations of people in the Nine Hospitals, was launched, "The journal is the mouthpiece of the discipline and reflects the status of the discipline." We hope to further expand the global influence of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in China." Qiu Weiliu was eagerly looking forward to it.
On January 16 last year, the orthopedic team of the Ninth Academy of Sciences accepted the first medical device registration certificate issued by the Shanghai Municipal Drug Administration to scientific research institutions; on January 2 this year, as soon as the national new regulations on "customized medical devices" came out, the Orthopedic Department of the Ninth Academy obtained the country's first personalized pelvic prosthesis filing. "The two '01' are an affirmation of adhering to independent innovation and taking the road of combining medical and engineering with clinical transformation." Dai Yinrong was full of pride.
For many years, Dai Yinrong's desk hung above the "karma is good at diligence", and Qiu Weiliu's glass plate pressed "Never give up". Just like Zhang Di's encouragement to students to "choose a career without regret" before he was born, the culture of the nine academies of the "four academicians of the first academy" has been passed down from generation to generation, inspiring the "houlang" to continue to expand their territory in the unknown fields of more disciplines.
Spread feelings, public welfare culture throughout the country
Most of the experts here do not like to send business cards, they know that every cured case is a mobile business card. It is also this confidence and responsibility that has made the medical business volume of the Ninth Hospital grow rapidly in recent years: in 2019, the number of daily outpatient emergency departments reached 12,500, and the number of hospitalizations reached 128,800. In the Ninth Courtyard, the scene of "dragging a suitcase to see a doctor" is not uncommon.
However, after all, the energy of a hospital is limited, how to make high-quality medical resources and medical technology benefit more people in more areas? As early as 1963, the Ninth Yuan organized four batches of 13 medical personnel to assist Africa. Since 2010, 21 batches of 110 people have participated in the counterpart assistance work in Yunnan. After 10 years, Xiangyun County People's Hospital has been built from a second-class hospital to a third-class hospital, and more experts have stepped on the most arduous western land.
In 2018, the expert workstation of Academician Zhang Volunteer was opened in Xinjiang, and the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Center of the Ninth Hospital - Kashgar Second Hospital landed. In April, when a Uighur patient came to the clinic, he could not speak or eat. Experts quickly determined that this was the advanced stage of tongue cancer with extensive metastasis of the lymph nodes at the base of the mouth and bilateral neck. After 12 hours, the first case of advanced tongue cancer in southern Xinjiang was successfully completed by bilateral tongue-jaw-neck combined radical resection.
Being able to see, hear, and speak, these simplest needs may be the luxury of many patients. As the most common intraocular malignancy, more than 90% of patients with retinoblastoma are young children under 3 years of age, and may eventually have their eyeballs removed or even killed. Early and timely diagnosis can save lives, but many families miss the best time for treatment due to financial burdens. In 2017, at the initiative of Fan Xianqun, the leader of the Ophthalmology Department of the Ninth Academy, the Ninth Hospital established the first child care fund for retinoblastoma in China. 4-year-old Xiao bai from Shandong, after the pupil area of both eyes was diagnosed, he has lost his right eye, the tumor is not completely controlled, has exhausted all the family savings. Through funding and the most advanced ophthalmic artery hyper-selective interventional chemotherapy, the left eye was eventually saved and the condition gradually stabilized.
Qu Tso, a 9-year-old Tibetan girl, still remembers "Uncle Wu" and other uncles and aunts. Due to congenital deafness, she became an orphan and was brought up by her aunt. The silent world makes her personality somewhat withdrawn, prone to tantrums, and very repulsive and resistant to strangers. In 2016, Wu Hao, the leader and dean of the department of otolaryngology head and neck surgery who took advantage of the National Day holiday to go to Qinghai Guoluo Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture for free clinics, found her, and after preliminary examination, Qu cuo was included in the first batch of small patients with free electronic cochlear implants. After the operation, the experts of the Ninth Academy would go to Goluo every 3 months to debug for her, and the closed door of Qu Tso's heart gradually opened.
Every year, the Ninth Hospital also has charity activities such as orthopedic surgery on scars and hemangiomas, ophthalmology on orbital diseases, ocular malignant tumors, cataracts, and free surgery for congenital deafness and other diseases in the Hearing Center; urology and other departments also organize and participate in national charity surgery and other activities every year. Wang Guomin, chief physician of the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, has been actively participating in various international and domestic charitable activities to fund children with cleft lip and palate for decades, and his footprints have spread to remote and poor areas at home and abroad. In 2019, Wang Guomin won the International Cleft Lip and Palate Fund Humanitarian Award, becoming the first person in Asia.
Sink the grassroots, and the service culture benefits the people
In 1920, No. 565 Arsenal Road (now Manufacturing Bureau Road) in the south city landed at Bethel Hospital, which was the predecessor of the Ninth Hospital. At that time, the "Little Nine Hospitals", which had less than 100 beds, have now grown into a veritable "Big Nine Hospitals". In October 2015, the Third People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine was merged into the Ninth Hospital, thus ushering in a new round of development in Shanghai. At the same time, the hospital has set up three medical consortiums in the city, such as Huangpu, Fengxian and Baoshan, so that high-quality medical resources can continue to sink and be the health guardians that can be reached and felt by the people.
Since 2014, the Physical Examination Center of the Ninth Hospital has cooperated with the Community Health Service Center of Luojing Town, Baoshan District, focusing on the implementation of the people's livelihood project of "funding free physical examinations for residents over 60 years old every year". More than 6,000 residents do not have to go to the top three hospitals, and the ninth hospital brings backbone strength and equipment to deliver services directly to the doorstep. In recent years, through the regionalized party building platform, the party committee of the Ninth Yuan has signed party building agreements with the party committees of Bansongyuan Street in Huangpu District and Dengmin Village in Fengcheng Town. In the winter of last year, together with more than 10 experts, they went to Dengmin Village, and 500 electric hot water bottles were donated to the elderly. Warming the heart is the greatest comfort that the doctor gives to the patient outside the diagnosis and treatment.
When the connotation of health extends more widely from disease diagnosis and treatment, the Ninth Hospital has also taken the lead in exploring and practicing the deep integration of medical science popularization and community education volunteer service. During the epidemic this year, the Ninth Hospital published the 4th series of books "Talking about Medicine and Talking about Health" as scheduled; just after October, there was a collection of 100 popular science articles written by experts of the Ninth Hospital. Today, in more than 5,000 learning sites in various community (elderly) colleges in the city, residents can get the most concerned and practical authoritative science nearby. As a result, the Ninth Academy has been approved as a key project of "Shanghai Community Education Volunteer Service Brand" for four consecutive years. As Luo Meng, one of the editors-in-chief, executive deputy secretary of the Party Committee of the Ninth Academy of Sciences and an expert in general surgery, said, "No matter how far we go, the experts of the Ninth Academy always keep in mind where their homes are and where the people are." This 'where' is the place of healthy enlightenment that we cannot be absent. ”
The Ninth Yuan in a hundred years now coincides with the beginning of the new chapter of the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan". Dean Wu Hao said, "In the first hundred years, the predecessors left us with a thriving and vigorous Ninth Courtyard. From this moment on, we must condense the accumulation of a century and continue to contribute to the creation of a first-class medical center city and an influential global science and technology innovation center in Shanghai. Guo Lian, secretary of the party committee, said that the hospital will continue to uphold the strategic thinking of "cultural construction, cultural honor, and cultural strength", and constantly enrich the cultural connotation of the nine hospitals with academician culture, service culture, charity culture, integrity culture, volunteer culture, and harmonious culture as the core, and practice the original mission before starting.
