Keep an aspiration to help the world with an indifferent heart

Some people are born with wings, but still choose to move forward with their feet. Professor Wu Liwen was born into a scholarly family. He was favored by God and was born into a scholarly family. His family once had one of the four major libraries in the late Qing Dynasty. His family was deeply educated and he was blessed with reading. There is a saying in the Wu family's family motto: Only when you are blessed can you sit down and study. When you become a talented person, you must not forget to worry about the country.

The four outstanding figures of the Wu family from his father's generation are all scholars, and the greatest wealth brought to him by his family is Complete personality, independent thinking and a calm and indifferent heart. His wife said he didn't fight for anything, and his Japanese teacher said he had no ambitions. He knew how to keep himself in a noisy era, stay focused, and focus on walking his own path.

Professor Wu Liwen studied under Professor Feng Yingkun, the founder of clinical epilepsy and electroencephalography in my country. In the 13 years after graduating from graduate school in 1981, he spent nearly half of his time studying abroad, including two trips to Japan Shizuoka and Tokyo, and then to Columbia University, USA.

In 1991, Professor Wu Liwen participated in the founding meeting of the Asia and Oceania Affairs Committee of the International League Against Epilepsy in Shizuoka, Japan. He was one of the first neurologists in mainland China to join the international organization on epilepsy. This put him at an international starting point from the beginning of his career as a doctor, focusing on learning and researching epilepsy. At that time, he became one of the few neurologists at Union Hospital who focused on epilepsy.

Only by understanding EEG can we diagnose epilepsy more accurately.

The picture that Professor Wu Liwen has seen most in his life is EEG. He was the first to carry out routine and long-term video EEG monitoring in China. Through systematic observation and analysis, he summarized different The clinical and EEG characteristics of type epilepsy greatly improve the positive rate of EEG diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy. He also classified Chinese epilepsy patients at the epilepsy syndrome level based on the latest international classification, which enabled individualized treatment of epilepsy and greatly improved the prognosis and efficacy.

In order to understand EEG more deeply, he inherited Professor Feng Yingkun's practice. He required students to not only be able to read diagrams, but also be able to draw diagrams. Union Hospital still maintains the tradition of doctors issuing EEG reports themselves.

Dr. Jin Liri, Department of Neurology, Union Hospital, said: "We grew up standing behind him and watching EEGs, often standing there for most of the day.

Shao Xiaoqiu, a neurologist who studied with Professor Wu and is now at Beijing Tiantan Hospital, said : “Our EEG training starts with the placement of electrodes, done patient by patient, and read picture by picture. ”

He is committed to promoting the development of epilepsy treatment in China

He knows that multidisciplinary cooperation can provide more diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy. He is committed to establishing a multidisciplinary cooperation platform nationwide, and promoted and planned the establishment of China’s first epilepsy center. The international model of multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment was introduced into China. This seed with international genes was sown throughout the country through students and more than 300 doctors who came to study, which greatly promoted the standardized diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy in my country. Today, many grassroots hospitals The diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy is still using the Concorde model, which has contributed to the integration of China's standardized diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy with international standards.

As a physician, he earlier proposed that some patients with drug-resistant epilepsy should consider comprehensive system surgery. Under the premise of pre-assessment, surgical treatment is performed. He understands the role of the scalpel on the patient and the huge risks for the surgeon. In order to improve the accuracy of locating the epilepsy-causing area and improve the surgical effect, he was the first in China to introduce the following methods: Magnetic resonance hippocampal imaging technology, Wada test and ictal SPECT examination.

Dr. Jin Liri from the Department of Neurology of Union Hospital recalled the scene at that time: "Twenty years ago, the conditions were relatively poor. During preoperative evaluation, we often recommended Go to the ward with a device that can play back the ictal electroencephalogram and conduct a multidisciplinary preoperative evaluation with the neurosurgery radiologist."

The standardized diagnosis and treatment of a few people can only benefit a limited number of patients, but the promotion of a subject can benefit patients all over China. As the first chairman of the CAAE Electroencephalography and Neuroelectrophysiology Branch, I know people and make good use of them, and cultivate capable people. Young people, make every effort to promote nationwide electroencephalography professional training and proficiency examinations Peking University First Hospital Dr. Liu Xiaoyan of Pediatrics said: "Professor Wu Liwen is my alumnus and senior. It was my first time to go to Union Hospital 28 years ago. Come and ask Professor Wu about EEG. He gave us very patient guidance and explanations at that time. In the eight years since the EEG branch of the association was established, we have done a lot of work under the leadership of Professor Wu Liwen. Professor Wu has given unreserved support to many of the things we want to do on this platform. "

Teaching by words and deeds

As a mentor, Professor Wu Liwen trains young epilepsy doctors by words and deeds, giving them enough space to cultivate a wide range of interests and develop creativity. Now most of the students have grown into the backbone of my country's anti-epilepsy cause.

Professor Wu Liwen and his students

Professor Wu Liwen said, "I think the path of students is supported, guided, and encouraged by us."

"I just want to be a good doctor, and I also hope that young doctors will have the ability." "Caring, patient and perseverant, he is an explorer who is good at learning and a social person with integrity." His words and deeds have always influenced his students.

In 2012, Professor Wu Liwen became the second person to receive the Outstanding Contribution to Epilepsy in Asia and Oceania. Award-winning Chinese doctor. The honor is recognition of him, but Professor Wu Liwen has always maintained the indifference he had when he first became a doctor. He said: "As a doctor, asking a good medical history is half of the diagnosis. "Clinical first, all examinations and research are for clinical service."

Everything he has done after practicing medicine for many years has only one purpose: to treat patients well and be a good doctor.

Professor Wu Liwen is at Beijing Youmai Medical Clinic

The epilepsy clinic is a special specialty clinic of Youmai Clinic, led by Professor Wu Liwen. He has accumulated rich clinical experience in preoperative evaluation and postoperative follow-up of epilepsy and various seizure disorders, as well as refractory epilepsy. The top domestic epilepsy expert team provides services to patients, and the team members also include many famous experts from Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Tiantan Hospital, Xuanwu Hospital , and Sanbo Brain Hospital
