翻译人员: Yefen Zhao 校对人员: Zhu Jie

Just to put everything in context,

为了了解事情的来龙去脉

and to kind of give you a background to where I'm coming from,

以及介绍一下我们国家的背景情况

so that a lot of the things I'm going to say,

要说的事情有很多

and the things I'm going to do --

包括我将去做的事

or things I'm going to tell you I've done --

和已经做过的事

you will understand exactly why and how I got motivated to be where I am.

你们会确切的明白我为什么以及怎样被鼓励着走到今天这一步。

I graduated high school in Cleveland, Ohio, 1975.

1975年我高中毕业于俄亥俄州的克利夫兰。

And just like my parents did when they finished studying abroad, we went back home.

正如我的父母在国外完成学业后一样，我们回到自己的祖国。

Finished university education, got a medical degree, 1986.

1986年，我大学毕业取得医学学位。

And by the time I was an intern house officer,

我在做驻院实习医生的时候

I could barely afford to maintain my mother's 13-year-old car --

我只能勉强负担得起维修我母亲那辆开了13年的车

and I was a paid doctor.

那时我是一名挣薪水的医生。

This brings us to why a lot of us, who are professionals,

这也解释了为什么我们当中许多职业医生

are now, as they say, in diaspora.

现在分散在世界不同的地方。

Now, are we going to make that a permanent thing,

那么，难道我们要把这变成无法改变的事实吗，

where we all get trained, and we leave, and we don't go back?

我们都只接受培训，离开后就不再回来了吗？

Perhaps not, I should certainly hope not --

也许不会，我当然不希望这样

because that is not my vision.

因为那和我预料的不同。

All right, for good measure, that's where Nigeria is on the African map,

为了更好的估量尼日利亚，这是一张尼日利亚所在的非洲地图，

and just there is the Delta region that I'm sure everybody's heard of.

那里就是众所周知的三角洲。

People getting kidnapped, where the oil comes from,

在那里人们被绑架，也是石油的来源地，

the oil that sometimes I think has driven us all crazy in Nigeria.

有时我觉得在尼日利亚石油已经把我们逼疯了。

But, critical poverty: this slide is from a presentation I gave

但是，“极端”贫困，这张幻灯片来源于不久前

not that long ago. Gapminder.org tells the story of the gap

我做的一个介绍。Gapminder.org介绍了为什么

between Africa and the rest of the world in terms of health care.

非洲与世界其他地方在医疗方面存在差距。

Very interesting.

非常有趣。

How many people do you think are on that taxi?

你猜在那辆出租车上有几个人？

And believe it or not, that is a taxi in Nigeria.

信不信由你，在尼日利亚那确实是一辆出租车。

And the capital -- well, what used to be the capital of Nigeria -- Lagos,

尼日利亚过去的首都--拉各斯，

that's a taxi, and you have police on them.

那是一辆出租车，还有警察坐在上面。

So, tell me, how many policemen do you think are on this taxi? And now? Three.

所以，告诉我，你觉得上面有几个警察？现在呢？3个。

So, when these kind of people -- and, believe me, it's not just the police

相信我，在拉各斯不仅仅是警察

that use these taxis in Lagos. We all do. I've been on one of these,

乘坐这些出租车，我们都坐，我也坐过，

and I didn't have a helmet, either.

我也没戴头盔。

And it just reminds me of the thought of what happens when one of us

照片让我想到该怎么办，如果有人

on a taxi like this falls off, has an accident and needs a hospital.

在这种车上掉下来，发生事故，急需医院。

Believe it or not, some of us do survive.

不管你信不信，有些人确实是死里逃生。

Some of us do survive malaria; we do survive AIDS.

有人确实战胜了疟疾，我们逃出了艾滋的威胁。

And like I tell my family, and my wife reminds me every time,

我也这样告诉我家人，我妻子每次都提醒我，

"You're risking your life, you know, every time you go to that country."

你知道吗，每次你去那个国家，你是在拿生命冒险。

And she's right. Every time you go there,

她说得对。每次你去到那里，

you know that if you actually need critical care --

你都会明白。如果你真的需要紧急护理

critical care of any sort -- if you have an accident --

不管是任何类型的--如果发生意外，

of which there are many, there are accidents everywhere --

意外又很多，那里到处都是意外，

where do they go?

他们去哪里?

Where do they go when they need help for this kind of stuff?

当他们因为这种事需要帮助，要去哪里呢？

I'm not saying instead of, I'm saying as well as,

不仅仅是上面提到的意外，还有

AIDS, TB, malaria, typhoid -- the list goes on.

艾滋病，肺结核，疟疾，伤寒--等等许多。

I'm saying, where do they go when they're like me?

我是想说，当他们处在我的位置上他们会何去何从？

When I go back home -- and I do all kinds of things,

当我回家后--我要做各种事。

I teach, I train -- but I catch one of these things,

我要教学，要培训，但如果我得了其中一种病，

or I'm chronically ill with one of those, where do they go?

或是其中一种病的慢性病，他们要去哪里？

What's the economic impact when one of them dies or becomes disabled?

当他们中有人死亡或残疾，会造成什么样的经济影响？

I think it's quite significant. This is where they go.

我觉得影响很显著。这就是他们去的地方

These are not old pictures and these are not from some downtrodden --

这些不是旧照片，这些人也不是受压迫的人。

this is a major hospital. In fact, it's from a major teaching hospital in Nigeria.

这是一家大医院。事实上，这是尼日利亚的一家主要的培训医院。

Now that is less than a year old, in an operating room.

这是在一个手术室里，用了还不到一年。

That's sterilizing equipment in Nigeria.

这是尼日利亚的消毒设备。

You remember all that oil?

你们还记得我说过的关于石油的事吗？

Yes, I'm sorry if it upsets some of you, but

我很抱歉如果这让你感到不舒服，但

I think you need to see this. That's the floor, OK?

我觉得你还得看看这个，这是地面。

You can say some of this is education.

你可以说这是教育的问题

You can say it's hygiene. I'm not pleading poverty.

也可以说是卫生的问题，我不是在以贫穷为借口

I'm saying we need more than just, you know, vaccination,

我想说我们需要的不仅仅是疫苗，

malaria, AIDS, because I want to be treated

疟疾，艾滋，因为我希望能

in a proper hospital if something happens to me out there.

在一家正规医院接受治疗，如果我发生意外或有病的话。

In fact, when I start running around saying,

事实上，当我开始四处游说

"Hey, boys and girls, you're cardiologists in the U.S.,

‘嘿，年轻人，你们在美国是心脏专家，

can you come home with me and do a mission?"

能和我一起回家进行义诊吗？’

I want them to think, "Well there's some hope."

我想让他们觉得，‘仍然有希望。’

Now, have a look at that. That's the anesthesiology machine.

接下来，看看这个，这是麻醉机。

And that's my specialty, right?

这是我的专长，对吧？

Anesthesiology and critical care -- look at that bag.

麻醉及紧急护理--看看那个包。

It's been taped with tape that we even stopped using in the U.K.

它是用胶带缠住的，那种胶带在英国已经停止使用了。

And believe me, these are current pictures.

相信我，这真的是现在的照片。

Now, if something like this, which has happened in the U.K.,

如果有这样的事发生，在英国发生过，

that's where they go. This is the intensive care unit in which I work.

那就是他们去的地方。这就是我工作的重症监护病房。

All right, this is a slide from a talk I gave

这是我演讲中的一张幻灯片

about intensive care units in Nigeria,

关于尼日利亚的重症监护病房。

and jokingly we refer to it as "Expensive Scare."

我们把它开玩笑的称为‘expensive scare'(贵的吓人)

Because it's scary and it's expensive, but we need to have it, OK?

因为那间病房很吓人，也很贵，但我们需要。

So, these are the problems.

所以，这些就是问题。

There are no prizes for telling us what the problems are, are there?

告诉我们问题是什么是没有奖励的，对吧？

I think we all know. And several speakers before

我想我们都知道，但我之前的几位演讲者

and speakers after me are going to tell us even more problems.

以及之后的几位还是会告诉我们更多的问题。

These are a few of them. So, what did I do?

这些是他们中的几位。那么，我干了什么呢？

There we go -- we're going on a mission.

在这儿，我们正在进行义诊。

We're going to do some open-heart surgery. I was the only Brit,

我们正准备做开胸手术，我是队里唯一的英国人，

on a team of about nine American cardiac surgeons,

其他9人是美国人，包括心脏外科医生，

cardiac nurse, intensive care nurse.

心脏外科护士，特别护理护士。

We all went out and did a mission and we've done three of them so far.

我们全部外出进行义诊，到现在已经做过3次了。

Just so you know, I do believe in missions, I do believe in aid

我想让你们知道，我真得相信义诊，相信帮助

and I do believe in charity. They have their place,

我也相信慈善。他们是有作用的。

but where do they go for those things we talked about earlier?

但他们如果遇到我们之前谈到的那些意外或疾病要去哪里呢？

Because it's not everyone that's going to benefit from a mission.

因为不是每一个人都能享受到义诊。

Health is wealth, in the words of Hans Rosling.

健康就是财富，用汉斯罗斯林的话说就是

You get wealthier faster if you are healthy first.

首先要健康才能更快的致富。

So, here we are, mission. Big trouble.

所以，我们在做义诊，但有很大的困难。

Open-heart surgery in Nigeria -- big trouble.

尼日利亚的开胸手术--很困难。

That's Mike, Mike comes out from Mississippi.

那是麦克，麦克刚结束在密西西比的义诊。

Does he look like he's happy?

It took us two days just to organize the place, but hey,

光是整理这个地方就用了我们两天的时间，但是，瞧啊，

you know, we worked on it. Does he look happy?

Yes, that's the medical advice the committee chairman says,

是的，这是委员会主席提出的医疗建议，

"Yes, I told you, you weren't going to be able to,

’是的，我已经告诉过你，你根本做不了，

you can't do this, I just know it."

你干不了，我确定。‘

Look, that's the technician we had. So yes, you go on, all right?

看，那就是我们的技工。那么，你来接着干，怎么样？

(Laughter)

（笑声）

I got him to come with me -- anesthesia tech -- come with me from the U.K.

我说服他跟我一起来的。麻醉技术，和我一起从英国来的。

Yes, let's just go work this thing out.

让我们一起解决问题。

See, that's one of the problems we have in Nigeria and in Africa generally.

看，那通常是我们在尼日利亚和在非洲遇到的问题。

We get a lot of donated equipment.

我们得到了许多捐助的设备。

Equipment that's obsolete, equipment that doesn't quite work,

过时的设备，不怎么好用的设备。

or it works and you can't fix it. And there's nothing wrong with that,

或者是能用但没法修理。这种现象没什么不对的，

so long as we use it and we move on.

只要我们还能用它，我们就能继续前进。

But we had problems with it. We had severe problems there.

So what we going to do now?

but it was one of these. Even older than the one you saw.

但它只是其中一件，甚至比你看到的这个还要老，

The reason I have this picture here, this X-ray,

之所以要给出这张照片，这张x光片，

it's just to tell you where and how we were viewing X-rays.

就是想告诉你我们是在哪儿，以及如何观察x光片的。

Do you figure where that is? It was on a window.

看出是在哪儿了吗？是在窗户上。

I mean, what's an X-ray viewing box? Please.

拜托，难道不是有x光片机吗？

Well, nowadays everything's on PAX anyway.

现在做所有事都能用PAX。

You look at your X-rays on a screen and you do stuff with them,

你在屏幕上看x光片，然后进行诊断，

you email them. But we were still using X-rays,

And we were doing open-heart surgery.

我们正在做开胸手术。

OK, I know it's not AIDS, I know it's not malaria,

我知道那不是艾滋，不是疟疾，

but we still need this stuff. Oh yeah, echo --

氧饱和度是67%，正常是97%。

Her condition, open-heart surgery that as she required,

她的情况，她所要求的开胸手术，

would have been treated when she was a child.

当她是个孩子时就该治疗了。

We had to do these for adults. So, we did succeed and we still do.

我们还得为大人做。我们确实成功了，因此我们还在做。

We've done three. We're planning another one in July

我们已经做过三次，正准备在7月

in the north of the country. So, we certainly still do open-heart,

在这个国家的北部再做一次。因此我们当然还在做开胸手术，

but you can see the contrast between everything that was shipped in --

但你们能看出装运前后所有东西都有差别

we ship everything, instruments. We had explosions

我们什么都要运输，设备会爆炸

because the kit was designed and installed by people who weren't used to it.

因为制作安装设备的人以前不是做这个的。
