Dr. Hunter “Patch” Adams decided early in his life that he wanted to help make the world better. Many of the patients who have visited his hospital would agree that he has done just that.

Adams was born in Washington, DC., but lived in many parts of the world while growing up. As a child Adams performed well in school. When he grew up. Adams decided to become a doctor. During his medical training he developed his own style of working with patients.     1    

He was friendly and thought of ways to make them laugh, hoping to make them feel better. Some of Adams’s teachers were not pleased with his way of treating patients. These teachers believed that being friends with patients could get in the way of being a good doctor. Adams did not let his teachers’ attitude stop him from trying to make patients laugh. One day he dressed in a clown costume.     2     After that, Adams continued to wear silly costumes while studying to be a doctor.

After he finished medical school, Adams and 20 of his friends opened their own hospital. They named their hospital the Gesundheit! Institute. Gesundheit means “health” in the German language.     3     Like at all hospitals, the doctors and nurses at Adams’s hospital worked to make sick patients well again. But Adams’s hospital also provided fun activities for patients. They could garden and fish.     4     Adams thought the patients would begin to feel better if they were engaged in things they enjoyed doing.

Adams has written books about his style of healing patients. He writes that you don’t have to be a doctor to help someone feel better.     5     Sometimes letting someone know you care can be the most powerful cure of all.

Hua Tuo

Hua Tuo (145 — 208), famous physician of the late Eastern Han dynasty, also named Fu, was born at Qiao County in Peiguo (now Bozhou, Anhui Province). He led a simple life, away from fame and fortune. He would rather become a traveling physician for ordinary people.

Hua Tuo was an expert in several medical fields, such as internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics and acupuncture. He was the first person to perform surgery with the aid of anesthesia (by applying Ma Fei San, a herbal anesthetic he invented) some 1,600 years before Europeans did.

During his time, with warlords (军阀) fighting for their own territories, many people were infected with fertility, an illness caused by fever. Zhang’s family was no exception. The experience stimulated his motivation in medicine.

7 . A woman whose social media searching for a nurse who cared for her almost 40 years ago went viral this week has found the mystery woman—in only 24 hours.

Amanda Scarpinati has wondered all her life about a nurse who helped her in the Albany Medical Center in 1977. At three months old, Scarpinati caught a cold, so her parents put her on a couch near a hot steam humidifier. She was in the living room by herself and rolled off the couch and landed right on the humidifier. She remained there for a full minute, suffering third degree burns on her face and hands.

Scarpinati spent seven weeks in the hospital and went through many surgeries during her youth as a result. All through elementary school, she was picked on and laughed at because of it. But one person Scarpinati knows treated her with only loving care—a nurse at the burn unit, whose photo Scarpinati had seen for years. “There is a picture of us together in an annual report for Albany Medical Center from that year. I don’t know how our family got hold of it, but I’ve always had the report and I would stare at the picture and wonder who she was, ever since I was a kid. But I’ve never had a name to go with the face,” Scarpinati says.

Scarpinati says she tried to locate the nurse 20 years ago, but with no luck. “I went to Albany Medical Center and they did some research but weren’t really able to find anything,” she says. “I just wanted to thank her.”

Nurse’s work is important to Scarpinati, whose mother is also a nurse. “What they do is truly amazing. Most of the time it’s not the doctors who have the beside manner, it’s the nurses that comfort you. I remember as a kid having one surgery and my mother couldn’t be there but a nurse was,” Scarpinati says.

8 . We experienced a horrible winter because of the national outbreak of COVID-19. My aunt is a doctor. 2 days before the Chinese New Year’s Eve when hearing the urgent news that she should perform her duty in Wuhan, my family sank into a great panic. How long would this duty last? Could my auntie be safe? More and more confirmed cases and deaths were reported. Hubei Province was locked down. People were restricted to homes. The whole country was under a cloud of terror.

At this time, a group of medical staff, including my aunt, came forward. They sacrificed their Spring Festival holiday and charged on the front line to defeat the disease. Regardless of personal safety, they took their professional mission to head for Hubei Province.

In addition, Zhong Nanshan, Li Lanjuan, Zhang Boli, Chen Wei and other top scientists immediately made up the epidemic expert group, trying to find out pathology and effective prescriptions as soon as possible. Many truck drivers had been devoted to transporting all kinds of goods to support Hubei Province.

Throughout the country, the Party members have played their exemplary role at all posts in routine work of disinfection and sterilization, registration and inspection. Moreover, a lot of volunteers have kept on duty day and night, insist on publicizing the common knowledge of epidemic prevention. In this way, our government could take measures step by step.

In peace times, there are also heroes. They can be medical staff, scientists and all fighters in this fight against CONVID-19. In the face of the epidemic, in spite of their personal concerns and their family’s worries, they can still make their courageous choice.

In February, 2014, the largest Ebola outbreak in world history began in the west African countries of Guinea (几内亚), Liberia and Sierra Leone (塞拉利昂).
