Two residents, wearing white coats with their names and "Department of Orthopaedics" conspicuously embroidered on them, boarded a hospital elevator crowded with physicians, employees, and visitors. In a clearly audible voice, one resident began a story: "You should have seen the patient I saw in my clinic the other day. She was beautiful. I should send her to see Dr. W. He would love to see her!" This comment drew the undivided attention of everyone in the elevator and cast a ghastly silence over the rest of the ride. In recent years, interest has expanded regarding professionalism and its importance in medicine and surgery. Orthopaedic surgery is no exception, as the topic has recently reached prominence in our literature and policies. It is unlikely that professionalism is a universal and innate characteristic of college students entering medical school, yet it becomes a necessary value in medical practice. Somewhere in the ongoing process of medical education, the issue must be addressed.
两名住院医生穿着白大褂，上面醒目地绣着他们的名字和“骨科”字样，走进了一部挤满了医生、员工和访客的医院电梯。其中一名住院医生用清晰可闻的声音开始讲一个故事：“你真该看看我前几天在门诊见到的那个病人。她很漂亮。我应该把她送去给W医生看。他肯定会乐意看她的！”这番话引起了电梯里所有人的全神贯注，在接下来的行程中，整个电梯陷入了可怕的沉默。近年来，人们对职业精神及其在医学和外科领域的重要性的关注有所增加。骨科手术也不例外，因为这个话题最近在我们的文献和政策中备受关注。进入医学院的大学生不太可能天生就具备普遍的职业精神，但它却成为了医疗实践中的一项必要价值观。在医学教育的持续过程中，必须解决这个问题。
