His pure heart

“Whether I am practicing medicine or studying and training students

Nothing More Than Three 'Hearts'

Careful, enthusiastic and loving”

His attentiveness is reflected in every detail

He will be late for a few minutes

Bowing to apologize to the patients' families waiting for treatment

I will rub my hands together to warm them up.

Then he helped the patient lift up his clothes and began to examine him.

Will use your forehead

Taking the patient's temperature by touching their forehead

He patiently explained and analyzed the condition and comforted and relieved

To help reporters understand the path of surgery

He carefully wrote on paper

Draw a diagram of the liver structure and explain it carefully

"At that time, Dr. Wu was already 81 years old and had to perform several operations every day. Dr. Wu was approachable and had no airs at all. When he was making rounds, if a patient got out of bed to look for his shoes, he would bend down to help get the shoes. The doctors who accompanied Dr. Wu on his rounds were very respectful to him and would salute him," recalled Qiu Chengzong.

His enthusiasm impressed the people around him.

Mr. Wu is over 90 years old.

He will do everything within his ability.

Don't bother people around you

"Before we met, I thought the academician was very serious. I remember when we first met, we called him Mr. Wu, and he said it was fine to just call him Grandpa. He was also very caring about the staff, asking if they had eaten enough and whether the food was to their liking..." recalled Wu Mengchao's health care worker.

Another time

A patient with advanced liver cancer, cirrhosis, and ascites

The patient who was tortured to death

Found Wu Mengchao

Wu Mengchao holding the patient's hand

Ask about the condition gently

After careful examination, he was arranged to be hospitalized

After the patient leaves

The assistant doctor asked in confusion

“This patient can no longer be admitted.

There's no point in taking medicine.

Why did we take him in?"

“He has been rejected by several hospitals.

If we don't take him in again

He might be desperate.

Even do stupid things."

Wu Mengchao looked at his assistant and said

"Remember, we need to treat patients and save lives"

His love gave countless patients hope of life.

"Mr. Wu has superb medical skills.

Very good to patients

No airs at all.”

After hearing the news that Wu Mengchao passed away due to illness

71-year-old Luo Yongxing choked up as he spoke

“He is wholeheartedly concerned about his patients.

Regardless of the patient's occupation

Have money or not

All are treated equally"

This veteran living in Songjiang

Diagnosed with advanced liver cancer 23 years ago

Many hospitals refused to admit patients

In desperation, Luo Yongxing found Wu Mengchao

Wu Mengchao underwent surgery to remove

The tumor in his liver was 13 centimeters in diameter.

Luo Yongxing later made a silk banner and sent it over

Mr. Wu is unhappy.

"100 yuan is not money? Doesn't your treatment cost money?"

The pennant was not collected

This was given by Mr. Wu."

The family may have spent all their money on medical treatment.

Some are still heavily in debt

As a doctor

Always put yourself in other people's shoes

Consider the patients and settle the accounts for them.”
