Preface
The instinct of the doctor is to save the life, but after saving the person, he is severely punished by the school.
This is a recent incident that has been in a big swing at Southern Medical University.
When the details of the matter gradually surfaced, when life and the system clashed, we can't help but ponder, is the disposal of Southern Medical University appropriate? Does a medical university follow the principle of life or system?
The doctor saves the person, causing him to be late for class
Yu Li is an attending physician with more than 30 years of medical experience and a professor at Southern Medical University.
It stands to reason that she should go back to school to teach that day, but just as she was finishing her duty and packing up her things to go back to school, a critically ill child with a cerebral hemorrhage suddenly came.
Out of the professional ethics of doctors, Yu Li immediately chose to devote herself to the rescue operation.
The emergency rescue behavior did not give her time to report to the department, which eventually caused her to be late for class, and even though she was in a hurry, when she arrived at the school, she was still 29 minutes late.
Southern Medical University has a rule that if a teacher is 15 to 30 minutes late, it is considered a serious teaching accident.
Therefore, Professor Yu Li's behavior has violated the school rules, but it is important to know that Professor Yu Li did not mean it, and after she arrived at the classroom, she made proper arrangements for the lecture content and did not cause adverse effects.
If Southern Medical University takes this opportunity to publicize that its professors not only save lives, but also do their duty in education, I believe netizens will praise it.
However, because Professor Yu Li was 29 minutes late, Southern Medical University fined her 2,000 yuan, and the whole hospital circulated criticism and canceled the qualification for this year's awards.

The disposal of Southern Medical University directly pushed it to the forefront and plunged it into a storm of public opinion.
Many netizens are upset about Professor Yu Li on the Internet, but at the same time, it also makes us think deeply, when facing a critical situation, do we follow the instinct of doctors or the system of the university?
Life comes first or system comes first
Whether it is the promotional video of Southern Medical University or the purpose of running the school, it is written that "life first, save lives and help the wounded".
However, the severe punishment of Professor Yu Li shows that their values are completely contrary to the purpose of the school.
This is no longer "life first", but "system first", but is the system so important in the face of human life?
This can't help but remind people of the sensational "Peng Yu case" back then, the judge's sentence "You didn't hit the person, why should you help it" directly makes people wonder if there is a problem with their three views.
Peng Yu kindly helped people to be sent to the hospital, but in the end, he was slandered and fell into a storm of public opinion.
Now Yu Li follows the doctor's instinct to save lives and help the injured, but she almost lost her career as a teacher, and the handling measures of Southern Medical University are exactly the same as the judge of the "Peng Yu case": "You are not injured by people, why should you save them".
But Yu Li is a doctor, and it is her vocation to save lives, and there is nothing wrong with her actions.
The school's handling was due to her actions that caused a serious teaching accident, but I believe most people don't think so.
Netizens have a very good saying, that is, the teacher was not late at all, and that half an hour was also part of the class.
She used her own practice to demonstrate and tell the students that the first mission of doctors is to save lives and help the wounded, and life is more important than everything.
It's a pity that the school's behavior has made Teacher Yu Li's good intentions go to waste.
As a well-known medical school with a history of more than 100 years, the motto of Southern Medical University has always been "erudition and dedication, virtue and virtue".
Perhaps at the beginning, Southern Medical University has been following the school motto, but it can be seen from this incident that Southern Medical University has long lost its original intention.
It uses extreme behavior to tell teachers and students in the school that you are not trying to violate the system, even if you are facing a patient whose life is in crisis, you must first consider your own interests.
I can't imagine that if Southern Medical University educates future doctors according to the principle of "system first", will patients still be effectively treated?
Some people may say that Yu Li was 29 minutes late, which is indeed a bit big, but the departure of life is in a blink of an eye, if a 29 minutes, a life can be saved, I believe that every doctor knows how to choose.
Yu Li just made the subconscious behavior of a doctor, and explained what it means to be a doctor with practical actions, but unfortunately, Southern Medical University does not think so.
Life or system, saving others or saving oneself? Faced with this dilemma, the Southern Medical Conference regretted its choice.
The system is important, but in the face of a living life, it is so insignificant.
Medical school is a complex place, and the professors in it are almost always two-time doctors, both doctors and professors, which makes its management challenging.
The premise of the establishment of rules and regulations is to effectively maintain the order of medical care and schools, and to ensure the balance and normal progress of teaching and medical work.
But what makes medical school different from other schools is that it trains students to be doctors in the future, and the idea of "life first" should be rooted in their minds.
I believe that Yu Li's matter will not be the last time in medical school, but the handling of Southern Medical University will give other medical schools some warning, in the face of life and system, life must be paramount.
Moreover, the reputation of a medical school is not determined by rules and regulations, but by respect for life.
Whether they are medical students or doctors, they need to learn not only medical skills, but more importantly, have a good medical ethics and style.
Only by knowing how to respect patients and life can we become a real doctor and feel the sense of mission to save lives and help the wounded.
Teacher Yu Li is a good example, she told the students of Southern Medical University with practical actions that the mission of doctors is to save lives and help the wounded, and everything must be compromised for life.
As for the treatment of Teacher Yu Li by Southern Medical University, I hope that the school can face up to its mistakes and regain the teaching concept of "life first".
epilogue
Life first is never a false promise, it is the belief and mission of all medical students and doctors.
The humanistic care and social responsibility contained in it need to be deeply understood by everyone.
It is hoped that through this event, all medical schools, including Southern Medical University, will learn from the lessons, re-examine their own values and educational philosophy, ensure the principle of "life first", and cultivate more medical students who can contribute to society.
