Medicine has advanced, but the emotions between doctors and patients have become estranged. If the doctor treats the patient only as a carrier of disease, a container of germs, it is a departure from the fundamentals of medicine. Recently, a patient died suddenly in a hospital incident in Henan Province. One morning, Mr. Meng felt chest pain and went to the First People’s Hospital in Nanyang City, where the doctor issued several checklists such as blood tests and ultrasound. The wife, worried about her husband’s accident, asked the doctor if she could prescribe some medicine to take before doing the examination, and the doctor told her to “talk after the examination”. 11:30 a.m., it was Mr. Meng’s turn to do the ultrasound, but the doctor said he was off duty. So, Mr. Meng had to sit and wait. At 2:30 p.m., Mr. Meng died suddenly in front of the ultrasound room, still clutching the checklist issued by the doctor. Yin Donghui of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine at Peking University People’s Hospital, Beijing, said that a fresh life had fallen on the way to a lengthy examination. Perhaps, this is the sadness of modern medicine. Technology is becoming more and more advanced, but medicine is becoming more and more indifferent. Doctors rely too much on machines and forget about living people. Not long ago, Peking University held a painting exhibition called “Medicine on Canvas”. A famous painting, like a mirror, mapped out the strong affection between doctors and patients. For example, the British painter Luke’s masterpiece “The Doctor” is based on a personal experience of the painter: in 1877, the painter’s child was seriously ill and invited the then famous doctor Murray to treat him. In the picture, Dr. Murui’s body is slightly leaning forward, comforting the child with his affectionate gaze while thinking hard about the treatment plan. It is said that this is one of the most beloved paintings in the life of our medical predecessor, Professor Huang Jiayi, and wherever he goes, he hangs it in his office. Another example is the Spanish painter Goya’s “Me and Dr. Arrieta”, which is a portrait of the painter himself in the midst of his illness. On the picture, Goya’s body is hunched over the bed, his hands pulling at the bedding, and Dr. Arrieta is supporting Goya’s sick body from behind, holding a glass of water in his right hand, his face showing concern and compassion, and the doctor and patient are as close as brothers. The artist’s emotions are the richest and most delicate. A painter who is not really moved by emotion will never have a work that will be passed down to the next generation. And a doctor who can make a painter ignite passion must have a compassionate heart. A hundred years ago, doctors did not have white coats, nor did they have many instruments and drugs, but they were devout in their hearts and clung to their patients’ lives and deaths. As a result, doctors often became the “landscape” on the canvas. Unfortunately, today’s medicine has advanced, but the emotions between doctors and patients have become distant, and doctors are disappearing from the canvas day by day. In the hospital, the story between people has become the story of people and machines, people and money. Some doctors don’t even look up when they see a patient, and they don’t even look at the patient’s gender before issuing a large list of tests. A medical predecessor once told a story: the hospital has three levels of registration fees, in the order of 5 yuan, 10 yuan and 30 yuan. A patient came to see the doctor every time, registered 30 yuan, even if only to prescribe some medicine. When the doctor asked why, he said, “When I register for a $5 number, the doctor doesn’t talk and won’t let me talk; when I register for a $10 number, the doctor talks and won’t let me talk; when I register for a $30 number, the doctor talks and listens to me.” It can be seen that doctors are not only the engineers of life, but also should be the masseurs of the soul. This is just like the famous line of the American doctor Trudeau: “Sometimes, to heal; often, to help; always, to comfort.” No matter how advanced medicine is, “machine worship” and “technology first” are dangerous, because medicine is a human science. Without people, medicine loses its soul. Medicine should have the temperature of a person, not just the coldness of a machine. The famous medical doctor Qiu Fazu once met a female patient with abdominal pain during his lifetime, and just after he performed abdominal palpation, the patient’s tears flowed down and said, “You are such a good doctor! He was surprised when the patient said, “I’ve seen five or six doctors, and no doctor has ever touched my stomach.” This incident left a deep impression on Qiu Fazu. He said, “To see the patient first, then look at the film, and finally read the examination report is the “top doctor”; to look at both the film and the report is the “middle doctor”; to read only the report and prescribe the medicine is the “bottom doctor The structure of medicine is just like a “medical doctor”. The structure of medicine is just like a “human” character, with one stroke being the technical medicine and one stroke being the humanistic medicine. Only when technology and humanism are in harmony can the most beautiful “human” characters be written. If doctors blindly rely on and worship technology and treat the patient as just a carrier of disease and a container of germs, then they have departed from the root of medicine.
