What kind of college entrance examination is suitable for students to choose medicine？

Original Huang Zhiheng Pediatric Dr. Huang Ge Huang　

Recently, the results of college entrance examinations in many places have come out one after another. From time to time, people consult medical majors and want to apply for medicine. I gasped.

With the development of China’s economy and the improvement of people’s health awareness, many people hope that someone in the family will study medicine, hoping to get the moon first.

The ancients said: "Parents who don’t know medical treatment are unkind; Children who don’t know medical treatment are called unfilial ",which means that parents who don’t know medical knowledge are not kind;" Children who don’t know medical knowledge are unfilial. It’s too important to study medicine.

However, medicine, especially Chinese medicine, is extensive and profound, and not everyone is suitable for studying medicine. Not Jin Gangzuan, don’t do porcelain work. So what kind of students are suitable for choosing medicine?

First, to study medicine, you should be smart.

Medical knowledge is vast, from basic to clinical, from Chinese to foreign languages, from classical medicine to modern medicine, and there are many knowledge points. The textbooks of internal medicine and surgery for undergraduates are thick and heavy like bricks, and they will be disabled if they are hit on the head.

Therefore, people who are not smart should not study medicine, especially those with poor memory. When I was in college, I got 59 points in one course, and I was ashamed to say it.

At present, the admission scores of medical colleges generally need to be at least 50-100 points higher than the undergraduate level. I am very happy to see this. Excellent students studying medicine can better care for the health of ordinary people.

Second, it takes a long time to study medicine, and you must be able to bear hardships.

Choose medicine, don’t just see the experts wearing brand-new white coats in TV series in high spirits, don’t just see their wonderful hands rejuvenating, Hua Tuo is alive, in fact, those are fairy tales, deceiving sand sculptures.

The ideal is full, and the reality is skinny. Although studying medicine can’t be rich and expensive, the work is relatively stable, and you can eat and wear well, but it takes more than ten years of investment and family support. Sometimes one person studies medicine, and the whole family is involved.

The period of studying medicine is very long, 5 years undergraduate +3 years master +3 years doctor +1-3 years standardized training for residents +1-3 years specialized resident training +1 year general resident =14-18 years, and then you become a resident. At this time, the age is about 32 to 36 years old.

I thought that when I was studying medicine, I was young; When I finally became a qualified pediatrician in a third-class hospital after constant tossing, the children could play soy sauce. There is still a plan for 3 years of attending doctor +3 years of deputy director doctor +5 years of chief doctor waiting for me. If it goes well, it will be 3+3+5. If it doesn’t go well, it will take longer.　

Studying medicine requires not only interest, but also hardship. It is difficult to study medicine, and it is even more difficult to learn it well. For those children who are not very clever, it may be more difficult to choose medicine, and if they want to achieve something, they must endure hardships more than others.

I am a stupid person, and I am also fascinated by medicine stupidly, and I am fond of reading and don’t ask for much understanding; Every time I know something, I will gladly forget to eat.

It was the night when Huang Ge studied medicine.

It’s hard to study medicine, and it’s also hard to go to work in the hospital. I often have no rest on holidays and often have no time to spend with my family. Others went out to play during the holiday, but we don’t have a holiday because the earth doesn’t explode! We won’t rest until the universe restarts!

Third, studying medicine requires a good psychological quality.

Unreasonable medical system, tense doctor-patient relationship, clinical and scientific research pressure, etc. will make you feel physically and mentally exhausted, and pay and return will never be directly proportional. There are often doctors who get depressed slowly after thinking hard, and suddenly commit suicide after thinking hard, which makes people sigh.

"Those who are not close to the Buddha can’t be doctors, and those who are not close to the immortal can’t be doctors." Not only should they have the moral character of the Buddha and the level of the immortal, but they should also have the inclusive mind of the Buddha and the immortal.

China has a large population and a large patient base, and there will always be some rubbish. At this time, it is necessary to complain without anger, and take it lightly. We can continue to "remember the mission of Do not forget your initiative mind" and continue to "heal the wounded and rescue the dying", even if it is to dry blood and tears.

Third, people with bad morals should not study medicine.

Talent without virtue is a villain, and virtue without virtue is a mediocrity.

If talented people with low moral character study medicine, it is easy to regard medical skills as a means of making money, and it is easy to be greedy, trading power and money, and finally being jailed. Some students have been admitted to famous universities, and their colleagues and roommates have been harmed by trivial matters.

If people with good conduct but poor level study medicine, they will easily become quacks, miss diagnosis and misdiagnosis, and lead to medical accidents. We don’t want to see these two kinds of people.

Patients often praise the doctor’s words as "superb medical skills and noble medical ethics", which shows that a good doctor should be not only talented but also virtuous, so as to have both ability and political integrity. I think of a word "great doctor is sincere", which specifically means that excellent medical practitioners should have both superb medical skills and noble moral cultivation. For example, Academician Zhong Nanshan and Academician Wu Mengchao, who just passed away, have both ability and political integrity and are our role models.

Yesterday after work, I met a child with inflammatory bowel disease with single gene defect. The child was in critical condition in infancy, and there was no way to seek medical treatment. Finally, he came to our hospital and was cured by stem cell transplantation with the help of digestive and blood departments. Now he is a sunny boy. At that time, I also participated in the treatment of this child, and my inner excitement and pride could not be expressed in words.

Brother Huang took a group photo with the children.

Having said that, do you think you are suitable for studying medicine? Welcome to your arrival!
