 详细介绍 / Introduction

美国医生爱德华·特鲁多，生于 1848 年 10 月 5 日，死于 1915 年 11 月 15 日，是一位结核病防治专家，也是公共卫生领域的先驱。在他的众多名言里有这么一句：“有时可治愈，常常去帮助，总是去安慰。”这句格言简洁而富有哲理，也是特鲁多医生的职业总结，展现了当医生直面病患求助而受困于医学局限性时的心灵拷问。这其中蕴含了医者的一份复杂情感，体现了大医超越世俗的理性谦卑和崇高境界。这句格言既道出了医学科学不完美的现实，又揭示了医疗服务的真谛和医生应尽的人文关怀。简短三句话，看似满含无奈，却格外温情与柔软，从另一个角度对医学进行了诠释，展示了医学的真实面貌，表达了医学对生命的敬畏和对人性的尊重。 这幅粤秀（广绣）作品是南方科技大学张健教授捐赠，由匠人手工一针一线刺绣而成，制作时长超过 2 个月。

Dr. Edward Livingston Trudeau (October 5, 1848 – November 15, 1915) was a tuberculosis expert and a pioneer in the field of public health. One of his famous quotes is: "To cure sometimes, to relieve often, to comfort always." This simple yet philosophical motto encapsulates Dr. Trudeau's profession, which demonstrates the mental anguish a doctor faces when confronted with a patient who seeks help but is limited by the boundaries of medicine. It encapsulates the complex emotions of a healer and embodies the transcendent rational humility and noble ideals of great doctors beyond worldly matters. This motto acknowledges the imperfect nature of medical science while also highlighting the true meaning of medical service and the humanistic care that doctors should provide. The three short sentences are seemingly full of helplessness, yet extraordinarily warm and soft. They offer a different perspective on medicine, revealing its true essence and expressing medicine's reverence for life and respect for humanity.
