Study in the United States to serve the country
Professor Xie Yuanfu loves talents very much. In 1983, he managed to send Yang Xia to the United States for further study at the University of Chicago. Yang Xia's mentor, Professor Huggins, was the founder of modern endocrine therapy for tumors and a Nobel Prize winner. She admired this young Chinese very much and tried every means to keep Yang Xia in the United States. At that time, the University of Chicago was undergoing extensive construction to build a research building for Huggins. Huggins placed a blueprint in front of Yang Xia, pointed out sincerely and said: "This is your laboratory..." Huggins also promised attractive benefits and mobilized Yang Xia to pick up her family members. However, Yang Xia was unmoved. She was thinking about who could save the disaster-ridden motherland under the weight of three mountains. She already understood this. With a pure heart and a sincere attitude towards serving the country, Yang Xia gave a firm answer with a clear attitude. She didn't even bring any luggage, and hurried back to her motherland on the eve of the birth of New China. In less than a month, the ancient city of Guangzhou welcomed the mighty People's Liberation Army. Yang Xia was deeply pleased that she had a way to serve the country, and she began to write a new historical chapter of her great achievements.
Yang Xia returned to the Fourth Military Medical University and treated, taught, and conducted research in the First Affiliated Hospital. He became an associate professor in his thirties and became a professor a few years later. She believes that the Communist Party respects knowledge and cherishes talents. She is fully trusted and feels that she has great potential. She has served as director and vice president of surgery. He has made an indelible contribution to the construction and development of dermatology surgery in my country and is recognized as a leader in the discipline. In her intense and busy work, Yang Xia has also done some philosophical thinking on issues such as the value of life, ideals and beliefs. In the early days of liberation, Yang Xia saw clearly how the Communist Party played a leading and core role and what brilliant results it achieved in just a few years. She also absorbed positive nutrients from the intellectual transformation movement. She confided her long-held true feelings to the party. What an unforgettable year 1976! She remembers the day she raised her clenched fist and swore an oath under the party flag on January 27.
The scene of "struggle for a lifetime for the cause of communism". This is a serious choice made by a scientist after years of careful observation and thinking; it is a leap from quantitative change to qualitative change in the thinking of a senior intellectual. Yang Xia, like many scientists, is calm-minded, diligent in thinking, and unsmiling. At first glance, she has an almost cold face. At this time, there is still no big change in her face, but her heart is constantly warming up and full of emotions. Passion turns into infinite power. She feels that starting from the specific business of serving the people, all work is extending into the distance, and every step forward is one step closer to the big goal. Politics is not an empty concept. The task of revolution is not only to understand the world, but also to transform it. Isn’t this exactly the bounden duty of a scientist?
Yang Xia's students said that she is a typical example of "first majoring and then becoming famous". They not only learned medical knowledge from her, but also learned her scientific thinking methods that are good at thinking, analyzing and identifying things. The relationship between red and expert should be very clear, but some intellectuals are still hesitant and talking about it. This is naturally a normal phenomenon, so let it continue to be a topic of discussion among people! Yang Xia is very knowledgeable. She has analyzed and compared the old and new societies and differentiated between her motherland and foreign countries. Her experience is profound. Facts educated and prompted her to establish lofty ideals and find a satisfactory and reliable home.
Yang Xia, who returned, tied her personal ideals, pursuits, and fate of success or failure to the highest interests of the motherland, and dissolved everything she had into the cause of the party and the people. She felt that the sky was high. With a broad mind and a far-reaching mind, I can soar and gallop wherever I can. She entered a higher realm of thought, used her talents and skills to become even more powerful, and her endless potential burst out.
Yang Xia has always opposed studying to death, so how can she live? She didn't know much about it at the beginning; after becoming a doctor and starting to be exposed to reality, she slowly summarized some experiences. She feels that knowledge does not give people the ability to solve practical problems. Only through application in practice and continuous thinking can one improve her abilities. Therefore, she believes that we must first solve the problem of combining practice, knowledge and thinking. She kept in mind the famous saying of Pasteur, the founder of modern microbiology and the famous French microbiologist: "Opportunity favors the prepared mind." She consciously trains herself to have a prepared mind, asks herself questions at any time, urges herself to think, and develops the habit of thinking. She does not commit the problem of "opportunity knocks on the door but ignores it" and does not let go of any opportunity to improve herself. Chance. This became her inexhaustible "magic weapon".
Being a doctor is not easy.
"Repairing" the bodies of advanced animals with various special functions is not like repairing machines, which can be disassembled at will and done intuitively. Whether a doctor is skilled and innovative often depends on whether she is good at thinking and diligent in exploring. Acute appendicitis is a common disease. It is not difficult to diagnose and the surgery is simple. Yang Xia did not simply do it. She thought carefully and analyzed carefully. Is the location of the patient's appendicitis on the left, right, upper, or lower part of the intestine? Although the appendix is ??not ruptured, what impact might it have on the peritoneum? Are there fecal stones in the appendix? ...Try to ask yourself to think carefully and concretely before making a diagnosis. This kind of surgery is generally successful, but Yang Xia's surgery is more "beautiful", causes less pain for the patient, and avoids other problems caused by poor consideration in advance. She feels that she has different new gains every time she undergoes surgery. She treats any patient in this way, and does not allow herself to just follow the old methods that have been used for many years. In this way, you not only need to think carefully, but also deliberate over and over again. Experienced doctors are well aware of the complexity of diseases and their own shortcomings, so they treat diagnosis and treatment as if they are facing an abyss or walking on thin ice. Being a doctor has a heavy responsibility. This is a major issue related to a person's life and human health.
Yang Xia is original and has achieved results of "five years and more than ten years", thanks to this extremely charming "prepared mind". At the Institute of Dermatology Surgery of the Fourth Military Medical University, Professor Gu Fangliu, who is in his early 50s, talked about Yang Xia’s academic achievements and outstanding contributions with admiration and cordiality that was beyond words. She was the first graduate student brought out by Professor Yang Xia in the early 1950s. She has been studying, researching and producing results with her mentor. Professor Gu first mentioned Professor Yang Xia's new concept of contralateral hydronephrosis in renal tuberculosis in 1953. He said that this innovative idea has enabled many patients who had been considered to have bilateral renal tuberculosis to be incurable in the past to receive correct treatment and regain a new life. . This is a breakthrough in dermatological surgery, which immediately received great attention at home and abroad and was widely adopted.
The Institute of Dermatology Surgery led by Yang Xia is nationally famous. Over the past decades, it has trained a large number of doctors and researchers from all over the world for further study. 120 of them have become the backbone of their respective units, and some have become outstanding. Contributors include Professor Mei Hua from Sun Yat-sen Medical College.
The patients who are most grateful to Yang Xia are the patients who have been deeply affected by her life-saving grace.
On September 11, 1992, "People's Daily" published an article by Lei Jiangbin of Wuhan City, thanking Professor Yang Xia for personally diagnosing her twice in more than 20 years and curing her 20-year-old disease. I have suffered from skin eczema for many years. She said that Professor Yang Xia is so approachable and cares about ordinary patients. This is such a serious and responsible attitude! She deserves to be a real doctor!
Yang Xia also had the experience of failure. When she first started to become a doctor, due to negligence, she missed examination items when seeing a doctor, and was criticized by the old professor; but more importantly, she felt the relief and joy after success, which made her Be more conscientious and conscientious.
Two years ago, a Yugoslavian patient sought treatment, and Yang Xia cured her disease. She became famous after returning to China. Later, friends from Yugoslavia came to see Yang Xia if they were sick, no matter which department they belonged to.
This versatile and famous doctor is so charming, and his influence far exceeds our 9.6 million square kilometers. Yang Xia has undertaken various special medical and health care tasks at home and abroad for decades. There should be more fascinating stories, but they are beyond the scope of this article. Yang Xia gets up at 5:30 every day, never sleeps in bed, takes a nap at noon, and goes to bed at 10 pm. She lives a very regular life to keep her "biological clock" running normally. Not only is he very rhythmic in his life and work, he also pays special attention to three meals in a ration, a combination of meat and vegetables, and he is never picky about food or overeating.
Secretary Liang Li said that as long as her physical condition allows, Yang Xia will write a diary every day to record the contents of her daily work and life. There is a special compartment for diaries on the bookcase at home, which is neatly arranged by year. Once, an old expert called to verify the specific date of an important academic trip in order to write a memoir article. Yang Xia took out her past diary from memory and quickly found the exact date, which amazed the seeker.
When she was young, Yang Xia had a wide range of interests, including literature, art and sports. When she got older and could no longer play tennis or badminton, Yang Xia's interest turned to watching sports programs on TV every night. She said: "Sports programs are highly competitive, and watching them can refresh people's spirits."
