1993年,美国圣路易斯的一个工厂传来一声刺耳的爆炸声,旋即,一位名叫Brad Barnes的工人倒在了血泊中。 爆炸时的金属液体以1550华氏度(843℃)的高温喷射到他的眼睛上,让他的眼睛高度灼伤,再也看不见了。

十年的时间,Brad做了四次手术,辗转数家大医院,可眼睛丝毫没有好转,到最后医生给出了最无奈的结论——你的眼睛这辈子都看不到了。
 
满怀期待了这么久,最后得到的却是这么一个结局,换作别人早就崩溃了。
 
但天性的乐观与坚强让Brad没有就此放弃希望,他与几个朋友成立了一个小组叫God Squad(上帝的斗士),专门向年轻人讲述自己的经历,传达自己的信念,鼓舞人心。
 
"虽然眼睛失明了,但我并没有失去对生活的热爱!”这些年,Brad无数次大声地喊出这些话,彰显豁达,鼓励年轻人和孩子们。然而只有他自己知道,失去视力始终是他最大的痛。经过这么多年,他以为自己这辈子,就要靠宣讲维持生活,一直待在“盲人”的身份里。
 
直到2004年,Brad在圣路易斯的医生将他推荐给了在田纳西的王明旭医生, 

由于伤势太重,他已经被多名医生宣布为不可逆的盲人,即便如此,王医生依旧想要试一试。不放弃每一个病人是他的宗旨。

可究竟如何帮助Brad复明呢?

他的右眼受伤太重,已经没有办法再进行任何手术;勉强能看到光的左眼,成为了唯一希望。

但医治这只左眼难度也极大,因为他的泪腺已经被完全损坏,没有办法分泌泪液,这就无法为眼睛营造一个湿润的环境来进行术后恢复。更严重的是,因为长期干燥引发的炎症,让Brad的左眼也疼痛不堪,如果不尽快想办法,他仅存的这只眼睛也要被移除。

病人陷入全盲的危险,是王明旭最不想看到的,为此他花了很多个夜晚开始做相关调查,并打电话给世界各地的医生,寻找着可以缓解干眼症的办法。

终于在2005年的春天,他联系到华盛顿大学的一位教授。这位教授成功完成了将唾液腺移植到太阳穴附近的手术,用唾液代替泪液,起到润滑眼睛的效果。

王明旭立即跟这位教授商量手术方案,在经过这位教授的同意后,2005年3月份,Brad成功完成了唾液腺移植手术。
 
第一个难题解决了,但第二个难题随即而至。
 
人工角膜移植是让Brad复明的唯一希望,但这个手术需要在角膜切出一个“口袋”,将人工角膜放入。但Brad的角膜很薄,单靠人工操作,进行传统的刀片切割,很容易发生失误,切割到他的眼睛。
 
这时,王明旭想到自己拥有一台无刀激光眼科手术设备——飞秒激光器。它可以代替传统刀片,且有更高的精确度。
 
但王明旭却从来没有将飞秒激光应用到人工角膜移植手术中,也就是说,这个手术的风险很大,一旦失败,Brad或许再也没有看到光明的希望。
 
在激光手术前一晚,王明旭久久不能入睡,他坐起来在心里祈祷,希望上帝可以帮助Brad,帮助他。

幸运的是,手术中激光的部分非常成功,经过两个月的时间,Brad陆陆续续完成了剩下的手术。当Brad摘下眼罩的那刻,王明旭看到他左右摇头,对这个世界感到陌生。他把一根手指放到Brad眼前,只见Brad缓缓伸出手,触碰到他的手指,用激动的声音喊着:“I can see you there

这是王明旭执刀的世界首例角膜移植手术,因为堪称“奇迹”,这件事情被当地的报纸和电视台报道,让王明旭声名大振。点击打开下面的视频,看看当年主流媒体的报道,

他让所有美国人知道:一个华人医生,完成了很多美国医生完成不了的事。

 
 

现在有些流言蜚语说王医生拍电影Sight想出名。事实上王医生13年就前名声飞扬,Fox news等主流媒体也报道了他创新精神和高超的医术。

又有人说王医生伪造文凭,下面是我在他的自传书里拍到的文凭。

不知道这些人出自于什么阴暗心理要对本族裔的精英泼污水!令人心寒!!
 
在当今纷繁的现实社会和虚幻的网络世界中,坏人坏事,五花八门的怪象环生,缺乏的是像王明旭医生这样勤奋努力,兢兢业业,脚踏实地的劳动者。

王医生当年英俊潇洒,聪明能干。

当年在费城做眼科fellow 的时候,曾经与一位美丽的眼科住院医生相恋。

两人无论是长相,才华,专业,宗教信仰都十分般配。

长达5年的恋爱,最后都到了要谈婚论嫁的时候,

但由于女孩妈的坚决反对,这场刻骨铭心的爱情最后无疾而终。

用王医生的话说:最主要的原因是王医生不是anglo-Saxon的人种:这是王医生无论如何努力都是无法改变的。

二十多年过去了:不知道现在的情况是否有所不同。

Researchers reconstruct lifestyle and face of 7th-century Anglo-Saxon teen

by University of Cambridge

Face of Anglo-Saxon teen VIP revealed with new evidence about her lifeTrumpington Cross burial facial reconstruction created by forensic artist Hew Morrison using measurements of the woman’s skull and tissue depth data for Caucasian females. Credit: Hew Morrison ©2023

The face of a 16-year-old woman buried near Cambridge (UK) in the 7th century with an incredibly rare gold and garnet cross (the "Trumpington Cross") has been reconstructed following analysis of her skull. The striking image is going on public display for the first time on 21 June, with new scientific evidence showing that she moved to England from Central Europe as a young girl, leading to an intriguing change in her diet.

 

The image and artifacts from the mysterious woman's burial—discovered in 2012 by the Cambridge Archaeological Unit at Trumpington Meadows on Cambridge's southern limits—including her famous cross will be unveiled in a major new exhibition at Cambridge's Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (MAA). "Beneath Our Feet: Archaeology of the Cambridge Region" will run from 21 June to 14 April 2024.

Forensic artist Hew Morrison created the likeness using measurements of the woman's skull and tissue depth data for Caucasian females. Without DNA analysis, Morrison could not be sure of her precise eye and hair color, but the image offers a strong indication of her appearance shortly before she died.

Hew Morrison said, "It was interesting to see her face developing. Her left eye was slightly lower, about half a centimeter, than her right eye. This would have been quite noticeable in life."

New "you are what you eat" isotopic analysis of the young woman's bones and teeth conducted by bioarchaeologists Dr. Sam Leggett and Dr. Alice Rose, and archaeologist Dr. Emma Brownlee, during Ph.D. research at the University of Cambridge also reveals that she moved to England from somewhere near the Alps, perhaps southern Germany, sometime after she turned seven years old.

Leggett and Rose also found that once the girl had arrived in England, the proportion of protein in her diet decreased by a small but significant amount. This change occurred close to the end of her young life, showing that the period between her migration and burial near Cambridge was tragically short.

 

Dr. Leggett, now at the University of Edinburgh, said, "She was quite a young girl when she moved, likely from part of southern Germany, close to the Alps, to a very flat part of England. She was probably quite unwell and she traveled a long way to somewhere completely unfamiliar—even the food was different. It must have been scary."

Previous analysis indicated that the young woman had suffered from illness but her cause of death remains unknown. She was buried in a remarkable way—lying on a carved wooden bed wearing the cross, gold pins (also on display) and fine clothing.

Hers is one of only 18 bed burials ever uncovered in the U.K. Her ornate cross, combining gold and garnets (third quarter of the 7th century), is one of only five of its kind ever found in Britain and identifies her as one of England's earliest converts to Christianity and as a member of the aristocracy if not royalty. The best known example of such a cross was found in the coffin of St Cuthbert.

In 597 AD, the pope dispatched St Augustine to England on a mission to convert the pagan Anglo-Saxon kings, a process which continued for many decades.

Dr. Leggett said, "She must have known that she was important and she had to carry that on her shoulders. Her isotopic results match those of two other women who were similarly buried on beds in this period in Cambridgeshire."

"So it seems that she was part of an elite group of women who probably traveled from mainland Europe, most likely Germany, in the 7th century, but they remain a bit of a mystery. Were they political brides or perhaps brides of Christ? The fact that her diet changed once she arrived in England suggests that her lifestyle may have changed quite significantly."

Dr. Sam Lucy, a specialist in Anglo-Saxon burial from Newnham College, Cambridge, who published the Anglo-Saxon excavations at Trumpington, said, "These are intriguing findings, and it is wonderful to see this collaborative research adding to our knowledge of this period. Combining the new isotopic results with Emma Brownlee's research into European bed burials really does seem to suggest the movement of a small group of young elite women from a mountainous area in continental Europe to the Cambridge region in the third quarter of the seventh century."

"Southern Germany is a distinct possibility owing to the bed burial tradition known there. Given the increasingly certain association between bed burial, such cross-shaped jewelry, and early Anglo-Saxon Christianity, it is possible that their movement related to pan-European networks of elite women who were heavily involved in the early Church."

Dr. Jody Joy, the exhibition's co-curator, said, "The story of this young woman goes to the very heart of what our exhibition is all about—new research making visible the lives of people at pivotal moments of Cambridgeshire's history. MAA holds one of Britain's most important collections of Early Medieval archaeology and the Trumpington bed burial is so important. It looks like it still has much more to teach us."

In the exhibition, the Trumpington Cross will be displayed together with the delicate gold and garnet pins connected by a gold chain, which were found near the teenager's neck. These pins probably secured a long veil to an outer garment of fine linen. The pins would have caught the light as she moved. The burial bed's decorative headboard will also be exhibited.
