回答: 芝大救落水孩童死亡的全职教授也是上海千人教授,有没有人质疑? 由 通知 于 2012-08-07, 10:20:05:

Donald Liu, MD, PhD, section chief of pediatric surgery and surgeon-in-chief at the University of Chicago Medicine's Comer Children's Hospital, drowned Sunday, Aug. 5, after rescuing two children who were caught in a strong current while kayaking in Lake Michigan near the town of Lakeside, Mich. He was 50 years old.

The children Liu saved were knocked out of their kayak by heavy waves, according to the Chikaming Township Police Department. The pair, two 12-year-old boys, began to struggle in the choppy waters. Neither was wearing a life preserver.

Liu "saw the children were in trouble and immediately went out into the water to help them," said Bruce McKamey, a patrolman with the Chikaming Township police. The children made it to shore, but the surgeon was swept away by the rip current, he said.

"This is a man that would wake up at 2 o'clock in the morning, be in the operating room in 10 or 15 minutes, literally save a child's life who was bleeding to death from trauma -- a car accident, gunshot wound, a beating," said colleague John Alverdy, MD, professor and vice chairman of surgery at the University of Chicago Medicine. "Then he would go home and go back to sleep. An hour later he would wake up, come to the OR, operate for five hours, maybe grab some lunch, go to another hospital and save another life -- all in a day's work."
