王吉民、伍连德两位先生撰写的《中国臀史》是第一部用英文全面阐述中国膏学历史成就的光辉巨著。此次上海辞书出版社要将其影印出版，我感到十分欣慰。出版社的同仁希望我写几句话，我就将自己近年来的一些思考，进行简单梳理，权作引玉之砖。 其实封臀学史，我也是初窥其径。虽然从读书到工作，几十年间我都没有离开过医学领域，然而真正关注医学史，却是晚近之事。2003午“非典”肆虐期间，我开始研究传染病的历史，之后封医学史兴趣日浓。通过研究医学史，我封医学的本质以及发展规律有了更深入的认识，也深刻地感受到当前医学与人文日益脱离的趋势，这就更让我坚定了医学应当回归人文的理念。 古往今来，各类史作可谓汗牛充栋，然而传世的医学史却寥若晨星。适大概是由于医学史的特殊性造成的，医学史难写，因为它不仅仅是医学科学和技术的历史，更是封生命、生、死以及与之相关的人生问题的认识史；它不仅是经，输的、遭辑的，同时也应是哲学的、审荚的、人文的。回溯臀学史，就是封医学价值的精神回归。
