There is such an old Chinese medicine doctor, he is 86 years old this year, still see five half-day outpatient clinics every week, using the spare time on weekends to sort out thousands of cases, just to protect the health of more kidney disease patients; there is such an old Chinese medicine doctor, he specializes in kidney disease for more than 30 years, leading the team to participate in the research of iga kidney disease integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine therapy won the first prize of national scientific and technological progress, creating a precedent for the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine in the treatment of iga kidney disease; there is such an old Chinese medicine, he created the first Chinese medicine nephrology specialty in Zhejiang, known as the nephrology department" Whampoa Military Academy", which has cultivated dozens of leaders in the nephrology discipline who have influence throughout the country...
He is Wang Yongjun, a famous expert in the treatment of nephrology in the treatment of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine, and one of the first national famous Chinese medicine doctors with only 3 in our province. He devoted his life's efforts to the research and treatment of various difficult kidney diseases, and his innovative theories such as "rheumatic nephropathy" and "micro-ringing in the kidneys" had a major impact on the nephrology community of traditional Chinese medicine in China, promoted the development of chinese medicine nephrology, and treated countless patients with kidney disease. At the fourth Chinese Doctors' Day not long ago, Wang Yongjun won the "Physician Lifetime Achievement Award" issued by the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government.
The prosperity of a grass and tree must be rooted in the fertile soil under the feet, and behind the long history of Chinese medicine culture, it is the continuous adherence and inheritance of generations of Chinese medicine people like Wang Yongjun. "To develop Chinese medicine, it is necessary to integrate the past and the present, be eclectic, and be honest and innovative; the modernization of Chinese medicine is the only way for Chinese medicine to better serve the health of the people and move toward glory, which is also my lifelong goal." Wang Yongjun said that on the Kangzhuang Avenue of China's traditional Chinese medicine industry towards high-quality development, he is always willing to be a grass and tree on the side of the road and benefit the world in silence.
Heart of the Naked Child: Doctors are not only a profession, but also a "career"
Why choose to be a doctor? Perhaps every doctor's answer is different. But Wang Yongjun's answer must be quite special: it stems from a serious illness of his own.
At the age of 18, he had nephrotic syndrome, and after more than 3 years of watching, many hospitals were helpless. Later, after a traditional Chinese medicine treatment, Wang Yongjun was cured. From the beginning of the unpredictable knowledge of his own diseases, to the despair of the treatment process, it was Chinese medicine that rekindled his hope for life. He felt the abomination of illness and the great merit of medicine, so he quit his job at the Finance and Taxation Bureau and studied medicine instead.
Although the goal is set, the road to becoming a real doctor is so difficult. Wang Yongjun began to study chinese medicine works on his own, reciting "Medicinal Properties", "Tangtou Song Recipe", studying various works such as "The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic" and "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases"; then, he successively studied with 7 well-known old Chinese medicine practitioners such as Wang Xianting, Yu Shangde, zhang Shuofu, etc., and was admitted to Zhejiang Provincial Medical College (now Zhejiang University Medical College), and graduated with excellent results, laying a solid foundation in Chinese and Western medicine.
"Because I have been sick myself and have had the experience of going around seeking medical treatment because of my illness, I can empathize with the pain of my patients." Wang Yongjun said that in ancient times, there was a method of curing diseases called Zhu Youshu: Zhu You, Zhi Ye; If you can explain the ins and outs of the disease to the patient, the tension between the doctor and the patient will be solved.
Patients with kidney disease who come to Wang Yongjun for medical treatment are mostly complex cases, and sometimes patients inevitably have some impatience, and communication with young doctors will be difficult. But Wang Yongjun used care and patience to resolve them one by one. Some complex medical principles will also be explained to patients in simple terms. It usually takes 15 to 30 minutes to see a case in this way, and it is common to see one or two o'clock in the afternoon in the morning clinic.
The famous American surgeon Krut once said: "Sometimes to cure, often to help, always to comfort." This medical proverb, which is highly respected by the Western medical community, is deeply hidden in Wang Yongjun's daily words and deeds.
Sometimes, Wang Yongjun will encounter outpatients because of insufficient money and can not dispense medicines home in time, those patients who are home in other places to come again, more than a travel fee, Wang Yongjun will take out his own money to help patients make up; sometimes, patients have been sick for many years, have no confidence in treatment, affecting the stability and rehabilitation of the disease, Wang Yongjun will patiently encourage him, young patients affectionately call him "Grandpa Wang"...
Wang Yongjun often said that as a doctor, you need a little faith. It is not a simple profession, but a cause that benefits humanity. He said: "After 65 years of practicing medicine, my biggest satisfaction is to see many patients, and my biggest wish is to see more patients. ”
The sun and the moon are not drowned, the spring and autumn are in order; the blue blood is danxin, and the light is flickering. Wang Yongjun's life is like an ordinary herb, because he has dedicated himself, he has released a huge amount of energy, thus benefiting thousands of people in the world.
Fusion of Chinese and Western: "Really good Chinese medicine is best to understand some Western medicine"
The debate between Chinese and Western medicine has a long history. Some people think that Chinese medicine is Chinese medicine and Western medicine is foreign medicine; or that Western medicine is the new medicine and Chinese medicine is the old medicine. But Wang Yongjun disapproved of both titles: "Chinese medicine, Western medicine, the common enemy is a disease." The West is used in China, the ancient is used in the present, as long as it is good for patients, it should be learned and integrated. ”
Wang Yongjun's philosophy in this regard was deeply influenced by his teacher Yu Shangde. He remembers visiting Mr. Yu in 1956 and seeing a doctor holding up an X-ray and concentrating. That was the first time he had seen a Chinese medicine practitioner who could watch X-rays. Yu Shangde was the director of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Hangzhou First Hospital at the time, and was good at digestive diseases. He is rigorous in his teaching and full of innovative spirit, and it is under his inspiration and leadership that Wang Yongjun gradually embarked on the road of modernization of Chinese medicine.
"The means of Western medicine must not only be used, but also used to be smooth and pure." Wang Yongjun said that when he went to study Western medicine, some old Chinese medicine doctors joked that he was a "traitor to Chinese medicine." But his heart is very bright: good doctors do not have the view of the portal, and learning Western medicine is not to change to the portal, but to "learn from the long skills" and learn from each other's strengths.
Discuss medical cases
According to traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment, the treatment of kidney disease mainly relies on the "naked eye" of Chinese medicine, but Western medicine at that time already had advanced instruments and tools such as optical microscopes. Wang Yongjun and his colleagues boldly tried to carry out renal puncture technology in the field of traditional Chinese medicine nephrology, relying on optical microscopy, immunofluorescence, and electron microscopy to observe the pathological changes of kidney tissue. This directly provides an intuitive basis for the microscopic dialectics of traditional Chinese medicine for kidney deficiency, blood stasis, rheumatism and other symptoms of the kidneys.
In 1986, he was transferred to Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine as vice president of business and director of the Department of Internal Medicine of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and created the first specialty of Chinese medicine nephrology in Zhejiang. In addition to carrying out renal puncture technology, he also led the team to create a number of firsts in domestic traditional Chinese medicine hospitals: the first to establish a kidney disease laboratory, the first to carry out systematic dialysis therapy, the first to carry out renal puncture biopsy technology... It not only provides an innovative platform for the modernization and development of traditional Chinese medicine in China, but also plays a resounding brand of kidney specialty in Hangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
"Chinese medicine has a history of thousands of years and is a precious property of the motherland. If we don't carry it forward, it's our sin. Wang Yongjun said that at present, China's traditional Chinese medicine is in a new stage of rapid development and going to the world. In order to make Chinese medicine move towards modernization, we must take the road of integrating traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, combine it with modern science and technology, and promote Chinese medicine to better serve the construction of a healthy China, benefit the people and benefit the world.
Chenggu Tuoxin: A leader in the development of the discipline of nephrology in traditional Chinese medicine
The most important reason why Wang Yongjun is "famous" is to study and conquer the treatment of kidney disease; and the most important reason why Wang Yongjun sees a doctor is "spirit" is that he knows how to integrate and innovate.
20 years ago, Wang Yongjun found that there are many patients with chronic kidney disease, especially the incidence of iga kidney disease is quite high, so he decided to study it. After studying and analyzing 1148 patients with iga nephropathy, Wang Yongjun and his team pioneered the five types of differentiation of iga nephropathy: rheumatism, kidney deficiency, stasis, liver wind, and drowning, and found that the development law of the disease was invaded by rheumatism, and gradually led to kidney qi yin (blood) deficiency, renal network stasis, liver wind internal movement, and drowning retention. He considered integrating the holistic view of Chinese medicine into the clinical practice of Western medicine, and revealing the mechanism of progression of iga nephropathy from the perspective of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine.
Under his leadership, Wang Yongjun's team successfully established a new program for the treatment of iga kidney disease in integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine: individualized, combined and sequential therapy. Individualization, that is, the disease is the same, but the individual is different, the performance is different, the treatment methods should also be different; the combination, that is, the "Junchen Zuoling" of Traditional Chinese medicine, is played by a variety of different drugs, which can be several different Combinations of Western Medicine, or it can be a combination of different Chinese medicines and Western medicines, each performing its duties and being orderly; Sequential therapy, for example, after long-term use of a drug, change a drug with the same efficacy to avoid side effects.
In 2016, Wang Yongjun's team participated in the "Creation and Research and Application of The Law of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine and the Key Technologies of Diagnosis and Treatment of iga Nephropathy" won the first prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award. It is characterized by the whole chain innovation of the development of "theory- dialectics, treatment rules and new drugs" combined with traditional Chinese and Western medicine, which significantly improves the awareness rate and treatment rate of iga nephropathy, reduces the new uremia caused by iga nephropathy by 10.5%, and estimates that the national medical cost will be reduced by 2.1 billion yuan. Many of the achievements of the iga nephropathy series of projects have been promoted and applied to more than 1,700 tertiary hospitals across the country, benefiting the majority of patients.
In addition, Wang Yongjun was also inspired by the "elephant thinking" of Chinese culture, put forward the diagnosis and treatment thinking of "disease recognition - dialectic - treatment / evidence", improve the correctness of dialectics, and successively completed the "Eleventh Five-Year" Science and Technology Support Plan of the Ministry of Science and Technology and the "Tenth Five-Year" Traditional Chinese Medicine Experience Inheritance Research project of the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People's Republic of China as the first undertaker, won 9 provincial and ministerial scientific research achievements, edited 4 academic monographs, and participated in the compilation of 4 works such as "Nephrology of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine" and "Nephrology of Traditional Chinese Medicine".
"Medicine is developing so fast that if you don't watch it for a week, you feel like you can't catch up." Wang Yongjun said that although he is over eighty years old, Wang Yongjun has not stuck to the honors he has won, and still maintains the mentality of learning, "Medical progress, can not recognize your age." As long as you've been practicing medicine, as long as you're a doctor, you have to keep learning. ”
In front of him, the diseases that change with all kinds of changes are endless mountains and rivers that cannot be crossed. With a tireless mindset, he has always pursued and explored the disease endlessly. This sense of urgency and responsibility is the common responsibility and responsibility of countless doctors.
Teaching by example: The department is known as the "Whampoa Military Academy" of the Department of Nephrology
Xianfeng Dao bone, long whiskers fluttering, alone, cloud deep do not know - this is many people's understanding of traditional Chinese medicine. But Wang Yongjun told us that today's Chinese medicine is no longer a "chivalrous era" that is no longer a single-handed, and must rely on the strength of the team.
China's "14th Five-Year Plan" proposes that to comprehensively promote the construction of a healthy China, it is necessary to strengthen the cultivation of talents with Traditional Chinese medicine characteristics, strengthen the inheritance and innovative development of Traditional Chinese medicine culture, and promote traditional Chinese medicine to the world.
Excellent talent team is the key to realizing the revitalization of traditional Chinese medicine. Wang Yongjun still remembers that he had just been transferred to Hangzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, and there were only 2 doctors and 1 nurse in the nephrology department besides him. After more than 30 years of development, the Department of Nephrology now has a high-quality medical, teaching and research team. It is a training point for doctoral and master's degrees in traditional Chinese medicine in Zhejiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the doctoral and master's personnel in the department account for 80% of the total. It is known as the "Whampoa Military Academy" of the Department of Nephrology, and many outstanding clinical talents of traditional Chinese medicine in china are disciples of Wang Yongjun.
Teach on site
Today's famous doctors Zhu Caifeng, Chen Hongyu and Yu Dongrong are all the academic heirs of Wang Yongjun. Chen Hongyu is currently the president of Hangzhou Renal Disease Hospital of Hangzhou Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In her view, Wang Yongjun is the pioneer of the nephrology department and a banner; now the medical, teaching and research team composed of doctors, nurses and technicians in the whole department is the inheritor, leader and innovator. It is these energetic and innovative young people who have pushed the development of nephrology to a whole new level.
Wang Yongjun is also a kind elder, and many young doctors have learned the principles of doing things from him. For example, every time he goes to the ward to check the room, Wang Yongjun will always greet the patient first, give the patient a check, always rub his palms first, and then touch the patient's skin...
Many details have melted into the blood and become a natural habit of behavior; it is precisely this kind of hearing and teaching, passing on the culture and spirit of Chinese medicine.
In the past 65 years of medical practice, Wang Yongjun has trained 5 nephrology specialist/discipline leaders, 4 national famous old Chinese medicine expert academic guidance teachers, 5 zhejiang provincial famous chinese medicine practitioners, and 12 hangzhou famous chinese medicine doctors. He has served as a master's supervisor and doctoral supervisor of Zhejiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, training 8 doctors and 21 masters, and cultivating 6 heirs. Among these people, many of them have won the Special Contribution Award of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine in China, the Youth Contribution Award of Integrative Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine in China, and the National 100 Outstanding Chinese Medicine Practitioners.
In Wang Yongjun, we not only see the life of an "old Chinese medicine doctor" who works tirelessly to treat diseases and save people, but also sees the long-standing Chinese medicine culture and the spirit behind it. This spirit continues to promote the high-quality development of China's traditional Chinese medicine cause, and contributes to the construction of a healthy China and the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
