The letter from the head nurse of 96-year-old leading surgeon three times a week made Dong Qing cry on the spot.
A recent issue of The Reader, with Wu Mengchao as the "father of hepatobiliary surgery in China", caused a heated discussion.
In the program, the letter written by the head nurse who has cooperated for many years to Wu made Dong Qing cry. What exactly did the letter say?
Wu Mengchao: 96-year-old insists on three operations every week.
According to CCTV reader, Wu Mengchao, 96, saved more than 16,000 patients for the rest of their lives.
He performed the first successful liver surgery in China.
He translated the first Chinese edition of the introductory monograph on liver surgery.
He made the first cast specimen of liver blood vessels in China,
He created the method of intermittent hilar occlusion and the method of bloodless hepatectomy at room temperature.
He completed the world’s first hepatectomy,
He also removed the largest hepatic cavernous hemangioma in the world, weighing 36 kg.
He completed the world’s first laparoscopic surgery to directly remove a liver tumor.
He removed the hepatoblastoma for a 4-month-old baby girl, setting a record for the youngest removal of hepatoblastoma in the world.
He won the highest national science and technology award and became the first scientist in the medical and health field to win the award since its establishment. He said forcefully: "I will devote my life to medicine and science!"
Because of him and his students, the five-year survival rate of liver cancer in China has increased from 16.0% in the 1960s and 1970s to 30.6% in the 1980s and 48.6% since the 1990s.
Up to now, 80% of the backbone of hepatobiliary surgery in China are students from Wu Mengchao, students of students and students of the third and fourth generations.
My father died of gallstones and bile duct stones. He learned this trade in order to save the country, but he didn’t have a chance to treat his father. At the grave of his parents, he said, Mom and Dad, I have done something for my motherland.
The right hand of the father of liver surgery in China has held many trophies, but it fits the shape of hemostatic forceps best — — The tendons are knotted, and the fingertips of the right index finger are slightly bent inward; But it is unusually soft and delicate, and the nails are neat and moist — — The index finger is distorted because of thousands of liver operations in the past, and it is delicate and flexible in order to help another life in the future.
In the face of the patient’s abdominal congestion, everyone can only see the red eyeful, but Wu Mengchao’s hand can reach in directly instead of his eyes, and the blood will stop immediately.
The word "thank you" is the most frequently heard word in Wu Mengchao’s ear.
In the face of a tumor as big as basketball, when others were afraid to have surgery, Wu Lao said, "What is reputation? I am just a Wu Mengchao. It is my bounden duty to treat patients."
In 2004, 82-year-old Wu Mengchao accepted a complicated liver tumor resection despite public opposition. The object of the operation is a girl named Tian Tian, whose liver tumor is bigger than basketball, so big that everyone thinks that liver transplantation is the only way to save her life.
Colleagues secretly advised Wu Mengchao that no one else dared to cut it. If you cut it, your reputation would be lost if something happened!
At an age when others care more about the "Evening Festival", Wu Mengchao only recognizes that "human life is a matter of heaven". He decisively said: I am just a Wu Mengchao, and it is my bounden duty to treat patients — — Reputation is nothing!
On September 24th, 2004, from 8 am to 6 pm, Wu Mengchao underwent a full ten-hour operation to remove the tumor from the girl. The girl said, "Then I chose September 24th — — Let me be reborn and walk down the red carpet hand in hand with my beloved. Today I can have a complete life, thank you. "
The letter written by the head nurse who has cooperated for many years to Wu made Dong Qing cry.
In the program, Dong Qing shared several letters of thanks written by others to Wu Lao.
"I have known you for more than 30 years,
In the eyes of many people,
You are a legend,
But only I have seen it,
After the operation, you leaned back in your chair,
The surgical gown on the chest is soaked through.
Two arms on the armrest,
Hands with palms up are shaking slightly. "
"said with a sigh,
The strength is getting less and less,
If one day I really fall down in the operating room … …
You know I love cleanliness,
Remember to clean it up.
Don’t let others see my sweaty face. "

Because he and his scalpel,
It has become a life of all people.
Like it! Salute!
