Lin Qiaozhi (1901-1983) Famous medical scientist and medical educator, the main founder and pioneer of modern obstetrics and gynecology in China, "mother of ten thousand babies"... Many recognized titles show the importance of Lin Qiaozhi in the hearts of Chinese people. Dr. Lin's positioning of himself is "a lifelong doctor on duty". He studied fetal intrauterine respiratory distress, successfully diagnosed and treated neonatal hemolysis, and delivered tens of thousands of children... The "doctor on duty" devoted his life to the safety of women and children and the establishment and development of Obstetrics and gynecology in New China. December 23, 2021 is the 120th birthday of Lin Qiaozhi. Today, Dr. Lin's noble character is still praised by the world. Be a good doctor for the motherland and the people In 1921, Lin Qiaozhi, 20, was admitted to Peking Union Medical College with excellent results; Eight years later, she graduated and stayed in the hospital to become an obstetrician and gynecologist of Beijing Union Medical College Hospital; In 1940, she became the first female director of the Department of Chinese nationality in Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Since becoming a trainee doctor, Lin Qiaozhi will take the initiative to stretch out her hands to comfort each other when she sees maternal pain. Sometimes her hands were bruised and swollen by the pregnant woman during uterine contraction, but she didn't say a word. A foreign doctor who worked with Lin Qiaozhi once "disdained" this: would wiping sweat and holding hands for patients become an expert in obstetrics and gynecology? Lin Qiaozhi firmly believes that this is the minimum and most important essence of a doctor and a doctor of Obstetrics and gynecology. In the face of dystocia in a critical situation, as an operation assistant, Lin Qiaozhi took over the forceps calmly operated by foreign doctors, so that the maternal turned the crisis into safety and the baby was born smoothly. At the risk of being dismissed after failing the operation, Lin Qiaozhi just thought: "I'm a Chinese doctor, they don't care, I can't care..." Lin Qiaozhi was not moved by the huge amount of money overseas. In 1949, someone sent a ticket to the United States, but she still declined with a smile. Why stay in the motherland? Dr. Lin's idea is very simple: "this is probably my sense of responsibility, an unforgettable attachment..." The birth of new China gave Lin Qiaozhi hope and a new understanding - only by combining his own wishes with the destiny of the country and nation can he have a way out. Lin Qiaozhi, as a deputy to the first to Fifth National People's Congress, seemed to have endless energy to actively devote herself to national construction and people's health until her life burned out. Work hard for the cause of Obstetrics and gynecology After the founding of new China, Lin Qiaozhi, who served as director of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, thought about an important problem, that is, how to develop obstetrics and gynecology. The answer is two words: talent and specialty. Lang Jinghe, a student of Lin Qiaozhi and academician of the Chinese Academy of engineering, said that in the 1950s, Lin Qiaozhi sent personnel to the Soviet Union to study vaginal cytology and carried out cervical cancer screening after returning home; Then, the division of labor among several professors and lecturer level senior doctors opened up sub specialties of Obstetrics and Gynecology, gynecological tumors, reproductive endocrinology, family planning and other obstetrics and gynecology. "Pregnancy is not a disease, pregnancy should be prevented." This is Lin Qiaozhi's deep insight into pregnancy health care and the basis of perinatal health care medicine. "Dr. Lin warned us that an obstetrician who can only deal with dystocia rather than prevent dystocia has lost more than half of his responsibility." Lang Jinghe said that Dr. Lin stressed that prenatal examination should be carried out in advance. It is best to receive protection from the beginning of pregnancy, regular examination and close monitoring to ensure the safety of mothers and children. Popularizing medical scientific knowledge is an important part of implementing the policy of giving priority to prevention. In addition to the discipline construction of Obstetrics and Gynecology, another work that Lin Qiaozhi attaches importance to is popular science. In 1965, Lin Qiaozhi joined the medical team of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences to Hunan and spent four months on a medical tour in Xiangyin County. The kind and amiable Dr. Lin will be recognized wherever she goes. She patiently answered anyone who asked her questions. She receives many letters every day, and she will read and reply carefully. According to the actual situation of rural grass-roots units, Lin Qiaozhi compiled the Q & A on rural maternal and child health, and later edited popular science books such as family health consultant and Encyclopedia of family parenting. Every book has become a best seller. "Be a doctor on duty all your life" A telephone in Lin Qiaozhi's home has been affecting her heart for decades. Whenever she receives a call from obstetrics and Gynecology, Lin Qiaozhi always asks carefully and gives specific help. Sometimes she even puts down the phone and rushes to the hospital. If you don't call Dr. Lin in time to tell her the results of the treatment, she can't sleep well all night. When Lin Qiaozhi came back from a meeting, he first went to see the patient. "The doctor's time does not belong to himself, but to the patient." When Lin Qiaozhi said this, she had already followed this for many years. Dr. Lin often tells his younger generation that a clinician must never leave a patient. Seeing a doctor is not repairing a machine. You have to go to the patient's bed to do face-to-face work. Until the age of 80, Lin Qiaozhi still wanted to deliver the baby, women and children even in his illness and dream Lin Qiaozhi, who had no marriage or childbirth for life, personally welcomed tens of thousands of new lives. Many parents named their children "Nian Lin", "Huai Lin" and "Jing Lin" to express their love and memory for her. "Dr. Lin is always around us" "Most doctors have never seen Dr. Lin, but everyone will feel her presence." This is the resonance of many Concorde women and obstetricians. Inheriting his mentor's thought, Lang Jinghe pursues such a medical creed: the first prescription given by a doctor to a patient is love. Many doctors of Xiehe gynecology and obstetrics department will personally lay a cushion for gynecological patients in front of them when they examine them; When listening to the fetal heart rate and examining the body, first rub your hands and warm the stethoscope... Dr. Lin's clinical experience and life style have been silently inherited in the daily work of Xiehe doctors from generation to generation. Song Hongzhao, Ge Qinsheng, Lian Lijuan, Wu Baozhen, sun Nianhu, Lang Jinghe, Shen Keng, Zhu LAN, Xiang Yang, Liu Juntao, Yu Qi, sun Zhijing... In order to help more women relieve their suffering, this top expert in obstetrics and gynecology in China continues to climb the medical peak. To improve people's health with lifelong efforts, Dr. Lin will always be around us and in our hearts. (outlook new era)
