"My Grandpa" by Christine Shan

My granddaughter, Christine Shan, an 8th grade student in Fairfax, Virginia, wrote her home work on “My Grandpa” and got an “A” grade. It seems she caught the essence of her Grandpa’s biography, “The Pushing Hands of Hopsice Movement in Taiwan” which was written in Chinese and available in website book store PUBU BOOK STORE, http://www.pubu.com.tw/document/17747 or at the Lotus Foundation http://www.lotus.org.twor at the Chou Ta-Kuan Foundation http://www.ta.org.tw.

My Grandpa by Christine Shan What do Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and brain tumors all have in common? Every year, millions of lives are saved by neurologists. Neurology is a very challenging field of science. Also, being a neurologist is a stressful career since the brain is the most complicated organ in the body. I admire my Grandpa, Dr. Rong-Chi Chen, because he is compassionate, knowledgeable, and actively involved in his job as a successful neurologist. Nothing is scarier than stepping into the doctor’s office so it is extremely important that the doctor is compassionate. Dr. Rong-Chi Chen treats all patients with the respect they deserve. He listens to his patients thought and complaints very thoroughly and carefully. Also, he patiently explains all treatment options in great detail. He tells fellow doctors and medical students to treat patients like their own family. Lots of people like Dr. Rong-Chi Chen and would wait in lengthy lines just to see him because he is so compassionate. To be a professional in neurology, you must have an abundance of knowledge. If a neurologist happened to give a false diagnosis, the patient would be in serious, life-threatening trouble. That’s why it is important to be knowledgeable.

Promotion of Buddhist Clinical Chaplaincy in Hospice Palliative Care in Taiwan

Promotion of Buddhist Clinical Chaplaincy in Hospice Palliative Care in Taiwan.● Rong-Chi Chen [http://www.lotus.org.tw] The caring domain of a physician is from birth to death, from “womb to tomb”. At the end of terminal care, physicians should maintain a religious and holistic spirit of “removal of suffering and provision of happiness” to their patients, as much as he could. Hospice palliative care was introduced into Taiwan in 1990 by the Christian Mackay Memorial Hospital. In 1994 the Buddhist Lotus Hospice Care Foundation (Lotus Foundation) was established. In 1995 a Palliative Care Unit was opened in the National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH). Since more than 70% of the Taiwan population are Buddhist or followers of Buddhism, Buddhist monastics are very much needed in the hospice care. However, there was no training or tradition of Buddhist monastics to participate in the medical care facilities in the past. Since 1998, Lotus Foundation initiated the training program of Buddhist monastics at the NTUH Palliative Unit. Ven. Huimin Bhikshu and Professor Ching-Yu Chen, MD were invited to co-chair the training program. It started the first effort of training Buddhist monastics as chaplains to participate in medical care in the Buddhist history. Many trainees are currently serving in many hospice palliative units as chaplains. In 2007, the trainees joined to establish the “Taiwanese Association of Clinical Buddhist Studies”. Buddhist chaplain became an important team in Taiwan’s hospice care. We are trying to promote the“clinical Buddhist monastics training program” in the curriculum of the College of Buddhism in the university systems. ● References: (1).
