Loving morality, cherishing benevolence and helping the poor —— A record of Ding Shuwen, a famous Chinese medicine expert.
"Every great doctor who treats a disease must be calm and determined, have no desire and no desire, and start with great compassion … …” Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, put forward a code of conduct for doctors. He regarded doctors with superb medical skills and noble medical ethics as "great doctors". Ding Shuwen, chief physician of the Department of Cardiology, Affiliated Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, is such a "great doctor".
Medical ethics
As an expert on cardiovascular diseases of traditional Chinese medicine in China and a leader in cardiovascular prevention and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine in Shandong Province, Ding Shuwen, who is over 70 years old, still insists on several expert clinics every week, presides over related research topics, attends authoritative academic conferences and gives academic lectures.
Engaged in clinical, teaching and scientific research of cardiovascular medicine for nearly 50 years, Ding Shuwen gave full play to the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine in the diagnosis and treatment of clinical diseases, adhered to the method of combining traditional Chinese and western medicine, and had his own unique views and rich clinical treatment experience on arteriosclerosis, hypertension, coronary heart disease, arrhythmia and heart failure. His specialist clinic is always crowded with patients who come here.
"My father’s coronary heart disease was cured by you, and this time I came to see you specially." A middle-aged patient started talking before he sat down. Ding Shuwen motioned for him to sit down, and like an old friend, he began to ask about his illness slowly and softly, and then took the pulse, diagnosed the disease and prescribed a prescription … … Until the patient is satisfied.
Attend the west with sincerity.
Ding Shuwen was born in a peasant family in Shan County, Shandong Province. When he was a teenager, his mother and sister often fell ill, so he had the desire to be a doctor since childhood. In 1964, he was admitted to Shandong Heze Medical College. A clinical practice after graduation made him interested in Chinese medicine.
"When I just graduated, I met a patient who came to see a doctor because of chest tightness. The patient is fat, his tongue coating is thick and greasy, and his electrocardiogram shows chronic blood supply deficiency. Many treatment methods have been adopted, and the curative effect is not very good. An old doctor in our hospital gave him Poria cocos, almond and licorice soup, and the patient’s chest tightness eased after eating it. " Ding Shuwen said that from then on, he began to like Chinese medicine.
In 1971, Ding Shuwen took part in the course of Western medicine learning Chinese medicine in Shandong Medical University, and systematically studied the basic knowledge of Chinese medicine theory. Six years later, 36-year-old Ding Shuwen was admitted as a graduate student of Professor Zhou Ciqing, a famous cardiovascular expert in traditional Chinese medicine, and began to study cardiovascular diseases.
Take part in the west with enthusiasm and keep pace with the times. For decades, Ding Shuwen has worked hard, constantly innovated and achieved fruitful results. He has written a lot of papers and books, developed many new drugs such as Zhengxintai Capsule, Zhengxintai Tablet, Shenlong Ningxin Capsule and Xinsuning Capsule, and won 6 provincial and ministerial scientific and technological progress awards, and many projects have reached the international and domestic advanced level. In recent years, he introduced the antimalarial Chinese medicines Artemisia annua and Changshan into the treatment of arrhythmia, which opened up new therapeutic drugs for arrhythmia. In view of the changes in lifestyle and diet structure, air pollution, disease patterns and disease spectrum, Ding Shuwen put forward and established the theory of heat toxicity of heart diseases according to clinical practice, and won the third prize of Shandong Natural Science Award in 2006, which is the only natural science award in the field of traditional Chinese medicine in Shandong Province in recent years.

"Now the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine is divided into two ways, one is school education, and the other is ‘ Teachers and apprentices ’ Way. Since ancient times, Chinese medicine education has always adopted the method of mentoring. Chinese medicine is an empirical science, which requires doctors to understand and grasp the patient’s situation as a whole. " Ding Shuwen believes that a good Chinese doctor needs three decades. In the first decade, he learns the application of traditional Chinese medicine, in the second decade, he forms his own characteristics, and in the third decade, he puts forward his own innovative theories and methods on the basis of clinical accumulation.
In order to summarize and study the experience and academic thoughts of famous and old Chinese medicine practitioners, form a systematic diagnosis and treatment plan, and popularize it in clinic, in November 2010, state administration of traditional chinese medicine issued the notice of "building a heritage studio for 181 famous and old Chinese medicine practitioners", and Ding Shuwen was listed. In March 2011, "Ding Shuwen’s Heritage Studio for Old Chinese Medicine" was officially awarded.
What impressed Li Xiao, the head of the Heritage Studio, was that although Ding Shuwen was over 70 years old, he still adhered to the front line of clinical, scientific research, teaching and discipline development of traditional Chinese medicine. He said: "Every time more than 40 patients are treated in the outpatient clinic, our students who are attending the clinic often feel dizzy and their brains are swollen, while the teacher is still in high spirits, managing the prescriptions and medicines, and being strict in the laws."
Li Xiao told reporters that the next goal of the studio is to comprehensively and systematically collect Ding Shuwen’s academic materials on clinical medical treatment, lectures and academic exchanges, archive management, data mining, refine academic ideas and publish monographs.
"Now I am over 70 years old, and I have entered the old age in physical age, but from the perspective of work experience and career age, I am still young and middle-aged. I also want to innovate and develop in the future. " Ding Shuwen said that fame for him has never been a matter of concern, and only the medical career he loves is his lifelong pursuit.
