政情：李心平嘆醫科生太功利

今年係拔萃男書院建校一百四十周年，港大醫學院院長李心平提起母校有乜感想呢？

自幼立志做詩人嘅李心平，一九六三年喺男拔中五讀文科。十六歲會考嗰年，父親肺癌離世，佢哀痛之餘亦改變志向，希望日後當醫生，拯救其他人嘅父親。幸好當年男拔校長郭慎墀批准佢中六棄文從理，結果佢順利考入港大醫學院，展開醫學生涯。佢慨嘆依家嘅醫科生太物質主義：「醫學院唔係職業培訓所，為社會地位同搵錢而入行嘅諗法係錯嘅。」

Li Sum Ping has always wanted to be a poet since he was small. In 1963 he was studying arts. At the age of 16 when he was taking the school certificate exams, his father died of lung cancer. He had changed his intention with the sorrow then, hoping to become a doctor in the future so that he could save the fathers of others. It was lucky that the headmaster then approved his transference to science and he later entered HKU and started his medical life.He lamented that the Medical students nowadays are too materialistic: 「Medical School is not a place simply for vocational training.It is wrong if you think that you enter the profession just because you want to pursue social status or money。」
