Suddenly gone
Stay behind and sigh
Shi Yingkang's personal microblog stayed on May 4 this year.
This Weibo certified by Sina Weibo, Shi Yingkang did not speak much on it, since the opening of Weibo on April 29, 2014, he has only sent a total of 8 Weibo, which has his views on doctors signing contracts and not receiving red envelopes -
"If the post has dignity, talents will cherish it, and management can do nothing to achieve the highest realm." Signing a contract seems to look at people with minimum ethical standards. Did you sign it? There is also a discussion of medical ethics: "Being a doctor is in my heart... The doctor thinks that he is the hand of God, in fact, we are all ordinary people, and there are clumsy and warm hearts among our teachers, and the results of the doctors and patients are different. ”

On the day of death
A man in the community where he lived once fell to his death
Yesterday afternoon, a reporter from Chengdu Business Daily came to the community where Shi Yingkang lived in front of him, and many residents of the community said that at noon yesterday, a man fell from the high floor of the community.
"It's true that a man fell from the stairs, but I don't know exactly what the situation is." A resident of the community said that the man fell into the garden of the community, causing a number of residents to watch, and a guard in the community confirmed her statement, "There was indeed a man who fell from the upper floor." ”
A media reporter who was at the scene at the time told the Chengdu Business Daily reporter: "When I came, the person had already covered it with a white cloth and had already confirmed his death. So we couldn't see what he looked like, and we couldn't be sure who he was. According to one witness, the man who fell from the building appeared to be wearing overalls. ”
The Chengdu Business Daily reporter failed to confirm whether the man who fell from the building was Shi Yingkang.
At the helm for twenty years
Laying the groundwork for West China Hospital
Professor Shi Yingkang is a well-known cardiothoracic surgery expert in China, the longest-serving president of a public hospital in China, and has been at the helm of the West China Hospital of Sichuan University for 20 years, creating the largest hospital in the country. A number of innovative reforms have been implemented in the hospital, pushing West China Hospital to the peak and becoming the hospital with the strongest comprehensive strength in the western region.
From 1993 to 2013, he served as the president of West China Clinical Medical College/West China Hospital of Sichuan University (formerly the First Clinical Medical College of West China Medical University/First Affiliated Hospital), making outstanding contributions to the development of the college/hospital; in the 20 years as dean, he was at the forefront of China in the theoretical research and practical application of hospital management, making the college/hospital a national diagnosis and treatment center for difficult and critical diseases in western China, a demonstration base for higher medical education, and a national base for medical scientific research and technological innovation It has ranked second in Fudan University's China's Best Hospital Rankings for many consecutive years, and ranked First in the China Hospital Science and Technology Influence Rankings for many consecutive years, with 32 specialties entering the National Clinical Key Specialty Construction Project, ranking first in the number of national hospitals.
As the dean, he is far-sighted, forge ahead, reform and innovation, unite all teachers, students and staff to achieve leapfrog development of the college/hospital, and embark on a road of West China in the Chinese medical field.
Think differently
West China "grew" into the world's largest
At the beginning of his appointment in 1993, the number of discharged patients in West China Hospital was more than 18,000, and until 2009, the number of discharged patients was more than 140,000. During Professor Shi's tenure, the hospital grew rapidly, and now Huaxi is the largest single hospital in the world.
How to grow the hospital?
President Shi once said that the practice of many hospitals is to keep building new hospitals, in fact, after each institution comes out, there will be internal friction between each other. In addition, the management cost is relatively high.
So West China Hospital chose an innovative thinking and made a hospital bigger. There is also the integration of management service resources to save costs, for example, we have a central canteen, but can supply tens of thousands of meals for the whole hospital.
At the same time, the hospital has reduced many unnecessary meetings and streamlined many organizations. There has always been a culture in the courtyard called "Pass the ball out": give everyone a way of thinking, let everyone think about what to do about this matter. Increases efficiency and reduces management costs.
Leave your post and don't let it go
The future of Huaxi, he is equally concerned
On the afternoon of January 21, 2013, the Party Committee of Sichuan University announced the decision on appointment and dismissal, and Professor Shi Yingkang stepped down as the president of West China Hospital.
Professor Shi Yingkang said in his parting speech: "I thank the leaders of Sichuan University for their affirmation of their work and comrade Zheng Shangwei's work, and for their recognition of our character and mind. Thanks to the middle-level cadres and all employees of the hospital, in the past 20 years, we have fought together in the same boat, faced the vicissitudes of the times, internal and external challenges together; these 20 years we have dreamed together and dreamed of the world, and now the dream has come true, and we have reached the leading position in the country; in the past 20 years, we have taken responsibility together, created together, and shared together, and we truly feel the spiritual satisfaction and sense of achievement that cannot be embodied in the materials of this team and every discipline and every person in the team. ”
In the face of the future of West China, he put forward four suggestions: "First, unity. In the case of increasing scale, discipline and personnel, how to improve the new model, through democratic concentration to give every employee a fair space for development, so that everyone can enjoy more sense of achievement in work and hard work. Second, have a dream. Only when there is a dream will the dream of the future come true. Third, we must innovate and unite everyone to innovate together, and the future development of West China is immeasurable. Fourth, we must work hard, have a sense of service, and have a sense of dedication. In particular, leading cadres should set an example in serving and dedicating themselves. ”
Retirement is not "retirement"
At the age of 64, he embarked on the journey of "Internet +"
After Professor Shi Yingkang stepped down as the president of West China Hospital, he did not stop moving forward. At the age of 64, he embarked on the entrepreneurial road of "Internet +" and established Zhonghui Medical Technology Co., Ltd. as chairman.
Shi Yingkang had previously worked as a workshop worker, barefoot doctor, and worker, as an intellectual youth, also studied in medical school, worked as a doctor in a small hospital, and then worked in West China Hospital, serving as the director and president of the department. During this period, he also studied in foreign countries. Shi Yingkang believes that he is a person who can accept new things and is willing to innovate and reform.
After 20 years as the president of West China Hospital, busy for 20 years, it is hard to rest, but at the age of 64 years, I challenged myself again.
"China has rapidly entered an aging, and most of the elderly suffer from chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes. Treatment after illness is expensive and costs money for lifelong treatment. Shi Yingkang said that whether it is the basic medical security of the country or the people's own expenditure, the burden is very heavy, and the resources are not enough. This is where we have to find a way to change. In fact, one of the changes has now been made, that is, we have risen the Internet.
Shi Yingkang believes that medical treatment under the Internet is mainly to save time and cost, and now through online social networking, consultation, online appointment registration, you can save time and cost. However, in terms of the cost of medical treatment, so far no good solution has been found. Although online consultation can save transportation costs, these are peripheral and cannot solve the fundamental problems, and the most fundamental problem is the way doctors see doctors. If everyone sees the doctor the way it is, the cost is very high, "so far, no good way has been found." That's why I do Internet medical treatment. ”
"I'm a person who loves challenges and innovations." Shi Yingkang said that although he is 64 years old, he still wants to try to do a smart medical project, really promote medical reform, and do practical things for the people.
Shi Yingkang: My values have not changed for so many years. Life is very short, and being able to do more things and do something innovative is the greatest glory of life. If anyone still talks about you, whether it's good or bad, it's the value of your existence.
Infinite shock and sorrow,
Infinite confusion and mourning.
No matter how abruptly you leave,
It doesn't matter what the story behind it is.
The legend left by Professor Shi Yingkang,
It will always remain in the hearts of the people of West China.
Bowing for Huaxi for twenty years, Dean Shi has gone all the way!
