我的第一份工作與一次難忘的邂逅:一窺1960年代香港的醫療與政界風雲

那是1964年,我剛開始我的職業生涯,擔任美國知名藥廠雅培公司(Abbott Laboratories)在香港的醫藥代表。那時我剛從學校畢業,滿懷熱情,被分派到香港各地的私家診所,向醫生推廣雅培的醫藥產品。


當年的工作遠不只是派發宣傳單張或講解產品資料。它更著重於建立關係,了解每位醫生的專科,並根據他們病人的需要來調整我們的產品建議。我每天穿著西裝打領帶,手提裝滿樣品和資料的皮公事包,穿梭於九龍和港島的繁忙街道之間。


其中有一天,我特別記得,至今仍歷歷在目。我約好了拜訪一位著名兒科醫生章志新医生,他的診所位於九龍的太子道與彌敦道一帶。他的聲譽早已傳開——對小孩溫柔細心,深受同行敬重,並時刻緊貼醫學新知。


當我走進候診區時,已有一位年輕人坐在那裡——衣著整潔、舉止得體,明顯也是一位醫藥代表。他沒有自我介紹,只是安靜地等候,隨即進入診症室展示產品,不久便離開了。


我仍在等候輪到我介紹產品的機會。在那段短短的交談中,章醫生提到了一件讓我多年來難以忘懷的事。他說:「你聽過輝瑞藥廠的曾蔭權嗎?他是我見過最出色的醫藥代表之一。不久他就會加入政府了。」張醫生說這話時語氣中充滿欽佩,讚賞曾先生不僅口才出眾、知識淵博,而且思路敏捷、極具專業風範。


當時的曾蔭權,只是和我們一樣在基層努力工作的年輕人之一。沒有人會預料到,他日後竟能在政府部門一路晉升,最終成為香港特首。想到這位未來的香港領導人,當年也曾如我一樣擔任藥品代表,讓我感到格外感慨。


那天讓我印象更深的,是章醫生的親切與坦率。儘管他身分顯赫,卻樂於與我們閒話家常,不僅談產品,還表現出真誠的興趣與尊重。那一刻,我明白到,在醫藥推廣這個行業中,人與人之間的信任與聯繫,有時比產品知識更為重要。


回望那段六十年代初的香港,是一個充滿機遇的年代——經濟起飛,本地專業人士崛起,許多人的職業起點都是從樸實無華開始。當時的年輕人懷抱理想投入職場,而其中一些人——像曾蔭權——最終改寫了城市的命運。


那次簡短的經歷,雖然看似平凡,卻在我心中留下了深刻的印象。它提醒我,每一張名片與職銜背後,都有一個蘊藏無限可能的人。有時,在候診室偶遇的人,未來也許會成就一段歷史。
