爱人眼中的黎晓新教授:她的成绩来自奋斗

每到夏天,人民医院不少的人都问,黎夫每天中午就吃条黄瓜,两西红柿,哪来的那么大精神?其实人们不知道,她中午只吃些既不是了减肥,也不是为了节约,而是为了下午有精神工作她说如果中午吃了就要犯困,下午就没精神看病人了,黄瓜、西红柿能解决饥饿感就行。每到她的门诊日,她就是这样保持“精力”的。

有位曾经观摩过她的手术的同行曾经和我说,看她做手术真像看一场精细的雕刻,我们谁都没看见黄斑面有一层膜,她却说肯定有,而且很快就用镊子夹起那薄如蝉翼的膜。另一为同行曾经问她:你净接收别人做失败的手术,你真的没有顾虑吗?她爽快地回答,我也愿意接收容易做的病例,可总不能让那些手术失败的患者对我们医生失望啊!我们的责任就是对病人百分之百地负责。

20年来,她真的就像勾践卧薪尝胆那样,丝毫不敢懈怠,一刻也不放松自己的追求。有人说她的手术已经炉火纯青了,她却从没有满足过。记得前年春节,家里人都希望她能和家人一起过年,她却选择自费到美国去学手术。她说自己只有春节可以抽出时间来,这几天病人少些,过了年病人就又都来了,赶在这时去学点新技术,回来就可以马上开展。

好多人都以为教会了徒弟,饿死了师父。可是晓新从来不这样认为。如今已经有近300名进修医生从他们的眼底病学习班结业。这些医生大多来自边远地区,好多人已经可以独立开展工作。他们遇到任何疑难问题都会电话询问。好多人都知道,晓新每晚写文章时最怕别人打扰,我每天晚上都要做电话的接线员,“过滤”很多电话,但是对来自边远地区医生的电话,她从来没有过不耐烦,总是非常耐心地接听,认真地回答他们的问题。有时这些学生要把最难作得手术留下来,邀请晓新去指导他们作。边远地区的手术条件远不及人民医院,晓新完全可以要求他们把病人转来北京,这样既可以节省时间,又可以规避风险。但是为了培养当地的医生,晓新总会抽自己的休息时间去指导他们。香港中文大学的眼科主任林顺潮先生是一位非常有爱心的教授,他是“健康列车”主要的发起人,林先生特别关心内地基层眼科医生的培养,经常到内地边远地区帮助当地的眼科医生。他非常惊讶地发现自己经常和晓新在西南、西北碰面。林先生非常推崇晓新的这精神。这次推荐“金苹果奖”的候选人,是他把晓新的事迹介绍了出去。

都说当前医患关系紧张,可我从来没听说晓新和病人发生什么纠纷。谁都知道她是急脾气,对科里的医生、护士要求极严,可就是没见过她和病人红过脸。每天几十个病人围着她,她仍能保持和蔼的对待每个病人。有时我劝她别那么累了,不行就少看些病人吧,可她总说病人头一天晚上就排队挂号,他们多不容易啊,我累点没关系。

作为学会的副主任委员,好多学术会议她必须参加,可是她经常是上午坐飞机去,讲完课下午就返回,从来没有说到什么地方去旅游一下。四川她去过几十遍了,什么九寨沟、黄龙、都江堰……她都没有去过。其实她也不是不想去,而是她总觉得那么多病人等着她看病,她不能把他们丢下啊。去年国庆节,我们总算动员她和全家人一道去张家界,连来带去用了4天时间,这是她外出旅游最长的一次了,旅游路上她的手机也是不断地和病房联系,她最不放心的仍然是病人。她去美国参加全美眼科年会,也从来没有超过一周,往往时不等吃上年会的晚宴,她已经登上了回国的飞机。这次从巴基斯坦回来,坐了十多个小时夜航加日航飞机,下午三点钟回到首都机场,四点钟她已经坐到自己的办公室开始办公了。

她的讲课非常生动,内容也总是新。她每次都会把自己最新取得的经验加到讲课内容里。每天晚上,她要在计算机前工作到深夜,没有一天间断。全家人都非常心疼她,老阿姨会给她褒汤,让她尽量保证营养;儿子会主动帮她修计算机;儿媳会帮她翻译一些资料,孩子们有时会风趣地要求给她做秘书。她又何尝不心疼自己的孩子。记得有记者问她有什么遗憾,她说:“我最大的遗憾就是没有更多地时间陪陪孩子们,他们回家时我在忙写书,等我有时间,他们已经入睡了”。

AceVPN for Privacy (Secure Browsing & anonymous Online File Sharing), and access blocked websites

I have known VPN and its benefits for many years, it encrypts your internet activity, thus offering you Privacy (Secure Browsing & anonymous Online File Sharing), and access blocked website, even watch blocked Video Website on Demand. I never tired it out myself until recently I traveled oversea and find myself having trouble accessing my regularly visited websites. I immediately realize the familiar circumstance and know someone is blocking the websites and certain type of internet traffic. I couldn’t watch YouTube or connect with my friends on Facebook. Worse still I hate those film companies who scan my IP address when I am using P2P like torrent downloading and eMule file sharing even I use them for legitimate file sharing. One way to stop being scan is using a free software called PeerBlock, but it is subscription based list updates mean you are not 100% protected. The better way of avoiding being tagged as illegal P2P file sharing is to use a VPN service that support P2P traffic. AceVPN‘s Ultimate Plan offers such service. An alternative may be BTGuard. I haven’t used BTGuard, so I cannot really comment on it.

You can use VPN in your company for accessing blocked websites or in a country which has internet censorship. You activities inside the VPN are invisible.

Some may prefer the use the free proxy server instead of VPN for visiting blocked websites and file sharing, but I cannot really recommended it, especially if you do your banking online or need to access a web service with a user name or password. VPN uses a secure channel to encrypt and transfer your traffic on the internet. Free proxies cannot really protect your data/traffic as well as VPNs, as all your data is saved on the proxy server till the next flush happens.

I came cross AceVPN first from the Australian PC magazine in a tutorial written by the author who recommends the VPN service as top notch. There are other VPN service Providers, but believe me you don’t want to try them out one by one. You can try the VPN service free plan if your chosen provider offers one. AceVPN has been performing excellent for me with fast speed and reliable performance. I will recommended AceVPN if you ask me for advice.

Servers in USA, UK, France, Netherlands, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Canada, Luxembourg, Romania. The idea of having many server choices is you can connect to the VPN server that is closest to the content providers. For example, if you want to watch BBC’s TV program on BBC’s website, or use their iPlayer, you are best to choose AceVPN‘s UK server. While if you want to watch YouTube, you can choose to connect AceVPN‘s USA server for better playback performance, better still they have a dedicated USA TV server you can connect to as well. It should be good for Hulu.com, Fox.com, and pretty much all video sites in the US.

AceVPN Premium VPN plan has all the great features and is available for $5 per month or about 15 cents a day

PS: you can also protect your privacy or access blocked content on your iPhone or iPad or other mobile device which support VPN feature.

Definitely, Maybe

‘Definitely, Maybe’ is a great movie. I am not a fan of love movies, but I enjoyed this one very much.
