"An "Medicine" Leye" is a humanistic case collection project
cooperated by Beijing Chen Jumei Public Welfare Foundation and Yimaitong.
The series of interviews with urologists will focus on the field of prostate cancer, discuss the significance of standardized diagnosis and treatment path of prostate cancer and the management of the whole course of prostate cancer to clinical patients based on real clinical needs, and highlight the research spirit and professionalism of urological oncologists
.

From stepping into campus with a dream, to the completion of the Hippocratic Oath, to abandoning the immaturity of his student days and becoming a healer in a white coat, the road has been full of ups and downs
.
The road to the growth of a healer is bumpy and long
.
When the first generation of healers has become a generation, carrying the teachings of the older generation to preach to the next generation, the later wave healers gradually become the mainstay
.
The training of urologists is extremely difficult, and in this issue, we invite Professor Ma Limin from the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University to share his medical growth experience and the training requirements and expectations
for young doctors.

Both internal and external repair, both refined and knowledgeable, urology casting

After graduating from Nanjing Medical University, Professor Ma Limin obtained the qualification of postgraduate qualification without examination and continued his studies
in the field of gastrointestinal surgery at Nanjing Medical University.
After obtaining his master's degree, Professor Ma Limin entered the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University, where he was attracted by the unique and rich connotation of urology and became deeply interested in
this field.

Professor Ma Limin said that urology is a department that combines internal and external training, and urologists should not only be committed to surgical treatment like thoracic surgery and brain surgeons, but also clinical fields such as chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, and immunotherapy
.
For example, surgical treatment of prostate cancer only accounts for one-tenth of the whole management of prostate cancer patients, and non-surgical treatment links such as drug treatment, screening, and puncture are still organized and managed
by urologists.
Even in the field of surgery, urology can be subdivided into a variety of procedures, ranging from major surgeries such as tumor resection to delicate minimally invasive procedures
.
Both profound and broad, this is the charm of urology
.

Professor Malimin, a young talent who was born in gastrointestinal surgery, became associated
with urology.
Time is in a hurry, and now Professor Ma Limin has been engaged in urology for more than 20 years, from youth to old age, the young man has devoted all his most beautiful years to this medical road, and the blood and sweat sown along the way have turned into seeds into the soil, and when he turns his head, the years have irrigated a green apricot forest
.

Unconventional, choose the best, and the original intention is the first

Urology has distinctive characteristics and a deep relationship with men, so it is easy to form an inherent impression that this is a department that belongs to men
.
But medicine is a very pure discipline, the essence of medicine is to work hard for human beings to survive better, the original intention of doctors is "cookie-cutter", that is, to cure patients' diseases and protect their health
.
Professor Ma Limin said that urology is not only a department for male patients, let alone a department for male doctors
.
In fact, there is also a subspecialty of urology called female urology, and there are also many outstanding female doctors in the field of urology, and urology professors will never be based on gender when selecting students
.

As a mentor, Professor Ma Limin said that when selecting students, he pays the most attention to the original intention and ambition - the original intention should be enthusiastic and the ambition should be firm.

Professor Ma Limin believes that children who are willing to study medicine are very good, because studying medicine is a very long process, and being able to go to clinical positions has already shown their ability, even if they lack experience, they will be able to make
up for it in time.
But practicing medicine is far longer than studying medicine, it is no longer a road that can be completed in five or three years, but a hard journey
year after year.
Let me ask, without the original intention of enthusiasm, who dares to cross the endless sea? Without firm aspirations, who dares to climb the peak? Enthusiastic and ambitious young people are like jade, with a little polishing, they can bloom with lustrous brilliance, and they will shine with the unique light of "back waves" in clinical positions
.

Benefit from many teachers, choose good and follow, learn endlessly and sharpen

Steer the sails in the vast sea of learning, and heal and save people
on the road of healing.
Of course, a doctor's success is inseparable from his own efforts, and the figure of a good teacher cannot be absent
.
Speaking of good teachers, Professor Ma Limin first thought of Professor Wu Wenxi of Nanjing Medical University and Professor Wang Zhong of the Ninth People's Hospital of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, who are respectively Professor Ma Limin's master's supervisor and doctoral supervisor, the enlightener who taught Professor Ma Limin how to do scientific research, and the guide
who led Professor Ma Limin into the clinical field 。 Recalling the harvest in the past, Professor Ma Limin lamented the thick character of the mentors, who not only helped students lay a solid foundation for scientific research with rigorous academic spirit, but also taught knowledge and techniques selflessly in the internship, and set an example to help students fully understand the connotation of a doctor - not only to cure diseases, but more importantly, to save people; It's not just about being a doctor, it's about being a person
.

The guidance of his mentors made Professor Ma Limin in his youth take many detours, not only learned a skill, but also established a correct concept of practice, and these valuable gains were also passed down by Professor Ma Limin, the former "back wave", and transformed into precious nutrients for the new generation of "back waves
".

It is naturally fortunate to have a mentor, but doctors need long-term or even lifelong learning, and maintaining a thirst for knowledge and a positive view of learning is the foundation of
continuous progress.
As the saying goes, "If you go threesome, you will have my master; Professor Ma Limin said that in his work practice, he will not only learn from his colleagues who perform well, but also focus on learning and reflecting on his own or his colleagues' "omissions", because the lessons contained in failure are as valuable as
standard teaching models.
Just like a small seedling, only by working hard to absorb all the nutrients can it grow into a strong tree, to become a good clinician, the ability to actively learn is essential, which is especially important for young "houlang" doctors!

Guard against arrogance and irritability, be quiet and far-reaching, and keep in mind that you are down-to-earth

Clinical is like a battlefield, life is not a child's play, doctors who struggle on the front line bear the double high pressure of body and mind, the error tolerance rate is very low, and a slight flaw is likely to bring great threats
to the lives of patients.
For this reason, Professor Malimin has very strict requirements
for his students.
First of all, we must be practical, clinical treatment is very precise work, do not allow the slightest sloppiness, only calm down, step by step, in order to lay a solid foundation for their career, so as not to live up to the honor and recognition
obtained after more than ten years of hard study.
Secondly, it is necessary to be motivated, success is a process of accumulation, young people you catch up with me is a benign learning atmosphere, to consult with each other and make progress together, not more than who will "rot", than who "lies" flat
.
In addition, young doctors need to have a clear career plan, from what stage to study, how many research results are achieved each year, to what books to read recently, to work towards an existing goal every day, perseverance, and the trajectory of progress will be very obvious
.

Expert Talk

As a senior, Professor Ma Limin has witnessed the growth of many young doctors along the way, and he is very pleased
with the strong forward momentum of the "back waves".
Just as when he chose to devote himself to urology, the endless "back waves" have made urology still maintain full vitality, and Professor Ma Limin is also very happy to be able to fight in such a field that is always surging with fresh blood
.

In the blink of an eye, it will soon be the beginning of the 2022 school season, and a new generation of students will embark on this long road of medical practice, Professor Ma Limin hopes that this wave of "back waves" can be prepared for long-term struggle, learn knowledge, cultivate good character, and train skills, wishing them a regretless youth after wearing white clothes
