Chapter 2270 Get an Award

Opening, Wu Lien-teh's welcome speech, election, and Shen Long's introduction to the constitution of the Chinese Medical Association. After these things are completed, the first day of the meeting is over, and then the meeting will continue on the second day.

In the morning, let’s discuss the matter of the Chinese Medical Journal. Since it is an academic exchange organization, it is impossible to not have a journal of its own. At the same time, China also lacks formal medical journals.

Although there are already a number of medical newspapers and magazines, such as: "Wu Yi Hui Jiang" founded by Tang Dalie in 1792, "Customs Medical News" founded in 1871, "Western Medicine News" founded in 1880, "Medical Medicine" founded in 1886 "Newspaper", "Bo Medical Association News" founded in 1887, "Liji Xuetang News" founded in 1897, "Shanghai Medical News" founded in 1908, "Shaoxing Medical News" founded in 1908, etc., but these medical Although sci-tech periodicals were born earlier, they are not published for a long time, and some periodicals cease publication after a few years, and do not have much influence.

However, some of the older and more formal medical academic journals are mostly run by foreign missionaries, and there is a lack of Chinese academic journals. In order to unite medical colleagues and promote academic exchanges, the establishment of their own academic journals has become a challenge for this time. One of the most important tasks of the conference.

Shen Long took out the charter that he and Wu Lien-teh had drawn up, discussed it at the meeting, and after making some revisions with reference to everyone's opinions, he determined the framework of the "Chinese Medical Journal" and elected members of the editorial department, with Wu Lien-teh as the president. As editors, Shen Long, Yan Fuqing, Yu Fengbin and others acted as deputy editor-in-chiefs, and Jin Yamei, Tang Nai'an and others also held important positions in the editorial department. The editorial department was located in Jinmen, and Shen Long used to communicate with Wu Liande.

Then Shen Long announced the submission address of "Chinese Medical Journal", and welcomes colleagues in the medical field to contribute to the magazine. Many people are eager to try. After all, Liyan is one of the three immortals. Its status and influence will definitely be greatly improved.

Then came the speeches of various representatives. Many medical scientists present took out the speeches they had prepared long ago, and began to tell their colleagues about their research experience. Summarizing the experience of training nurses, Yan Fuqing talked about the experience of western medicine in treating dysentery.

Shen Long's speech was quite different from others' speeches. He used the data he obtained after leading his students to investigate and study the villages around the capital, analyzed the medical and health problems existing in the rural areas of northern China today, and called on everyone to pay more attention to the rural areas. It surprised most people except Yan Fuqing.

From ancient times to the present, the status of doctors in China is neither high nor low. If they are high, they are nothing in front of officials and scholars. Unless you are like Zhang Zhongjing, you are originally a scholar, otherwise you are even Li Shizhen. The famous doctors, officials and scholars don't pay much attention to them.

To put it bluntly, doctors are a profession that is highly respected by the common people. Compared with ordinary people, they are much better.

Once they become famous, it is common for them to go to rich and powerful families. They will occasionally ask for help from wealthy and powerful families for some trivial matters, so that they will not face some problems that ordinary people will encounter, such as corvee, excessive miscellaneous taxes and so on.

But in this way, doctors, especially famous doctors, have developed a bad habit, that is, they only look at the rich, powerful and famous people, and ignore ordinary people. After all, they also want to live, and they can Those who can afford consultation fees and are willing to spend a lot of money on medicines are rich people, so what can the poor give them?

For example, Tang Naian, by opening a private clinic, not only built a large family business, but also entered the upper class of Shanghai, allowing his daughter to wear various famous brands and become a well-known socialite in Shanghai; heals the poor , that can have these benefits? I'm afraid I won't even be able to wear pants.

Even if there are a few doctors who meet poor people who really look down on medical treatment, they will occasionally exempt them from the consultation fee and drug fee, but that is only a minority of the minority, and there are really not many people who concentrate on researching rural medical and health issues.

But now it’s the Republic of China, it’s actually hard to say, but those doctors who have returned from studying abroad like to talk about democracy and equality, and traditional Chinese medicine still remembers the words of doctors’ benevolence, so there are not many people He stood up and publicly opposed Shen Long's speech, and received a lot of applause after the speech.

Yan Fuqing and others also put forward their own opinions after his speech. He carefully designed the administrative structure of the health system. In this structure, rural health coverage is the top priority. He hopes that everyone can afford medical care; He respected his ideas, but he also knew that Yan Fuqing's suggestion was not feasible.

To accomplish this feat, there must be a government with a strict organizational structure that truly cares about the people. In the next thirty years or so, the government in charge of China’s political power will obviously be unable to do so. Only In the period of new China, the rural medical and health services will be gradually developed.

From the earliest barefoot doctors to today's targeted poverty alleviation, rural cooperative medical care and other measures, the rural people have the ability to solve common diseases. No country in the world can do this, not even those small countries with money and few people.

What Shen Long can do now is to take out the "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook" in advance, use his school to recruit more rural doctors, or take students to the countryside to teach local village doctors better medical skills, but these medical skills After learning these medical skills, whether he will concentrate on treating ordinary people is beyond his control.

The speech lasted for two days, and the speeches of the representatives at the meeting made everyone feel very rewarding. This kind of peer gathering and exchange is very rare before. Many people have solved long-standing problems here, and they have found Like-minded friends, I believe that after the meeting, they will also maintain close contact and continue to communicate and progress.

Many high-quality speeches have been collected by Shen Long, and these will be published in the first issue of "Chinese Medical Journal",

And on the last day of the meeting, Shen Long initiated a topic, "There are already influential medical awards such as the Nobel Prize in Medicine abroad, but we have no such awards in China, so I propose to establish an award to commend China. excellent physician."
