"The task done by oneself is to be responsible for the patient".On November 30, 1924, Wang Zhenyi was born in Shanghai, under the influence of his maternal grandmother, Wang Zhenyi chose to practice medicine, he studied hard, obtained a doctorate degree in medicine from Aurora University School of Medicine, and then was assigned to work in Guangci Hospital (now Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine), Wang Zhenyi is the only physician among the winners of China's highest science and technology award, known as the "father of cancer-induced differentiation", in 1994, Mr. Wang Zhenyi won the world's highest award in the field of cancer research "Kettering Cancer Medicine Award". In 1999, he wrote the book "Induction and Apoptosis of Tumors**", which was later rated by an authoritative professor in the United States as one of the 86 most influential representative treatises in the world in the past century. Wang Zhenyi sighed at the birthday partyHe looks back 99 years"The task done by oneself is to be responsible for the patient".At every stage of his hematology major, Wang Zhenyi devoted himself to research, and also let students go abroad to learn advanced medical knowledge and concepts Xi and compiled his thoughts and students' thoughts and learnings into booksAs a doctorHe thinksWhenever possible, the breadth of knowledge should be drawnDon't limit yourself to your area of expertiseIn this way, patients can be better benefitedAcademician Chen Zhu and his wife Academician Chen Saijuan is Academician Wang Zhenyi's "open door", he recalled the scene of Mr. Wang's personal teaching, what impressed him the most was that Academician Wang Zhenyi once said that a person's academic experience is always from low to high, and with the change of the situation, it will also decline, so it should be passed on from generation to generation, so that this parabola is superimposed and the highest point is always upward
Holding a "life-saving drug" but voluntarily giving up the patent
Wang Zhenyi once held "all-trans tretinoin", and if he patented the formula, this "life-saving drug" would allow him to "become a billionaire sitting at home".But he simply dropped the patentBecause he was afraid that the poor would not be able to afford medicineThis seriously violated his original intention of developing drugs, so when "all-trans retinoin" was officially mass-produced and put into the market, the ** of ten capsules per box was as low as about 11 yuan, and until now it has only been maintained at about 300 yuan, and at the same time, it also enjoys the national medical security subsidy
When asked about the reason for insisting on not applying for a patent, Wang Zhenyi said:You have to solve the patient's problem firstIt cannot be said that the patient's problem is solved laterYou can make moneyOr my reputation can be raisedWouldn't think about itI just want the patient to be wellBecause of Wang Zhenyi's pioneering work, he and his students established the "Shanghai Program" for acute promyelocytic leukemia, making the disease the first basic leukemia patient, with a 5-year survival rate of more than 9%.At the age of 98, he still insisted on ward roundsAccording to CCTV's previous report, at the age of 98, Wang Zhenyi was still working on the front line of medicine, teaching and research, and he once said:"With the state's allowance, you can't eat for nothing. ”Every Thursday morning, Wang Zhenyi will discuss the treatment plan with everyone after consulting the information for the cases of patients admitted and the incurable diseases raised by students, and persist in this "ward round method" for 18 years, which he calls "open-book examination".
For a case, Wang Zhenyi spent 3 days consulting more than 200 literature, and personally made more than 30 pages of PPT, and at the age of 72, he began to learn to Xi and use computers.
In Wang Zhenyi's eyes, there are two things to live the greatest happiness in life: one is to learn Xi "turn what you don't know into knowing", and the other is to cure the patient's diseaseSalute to the 100-year-old academician!
