Kunming City, First People's Hospital.
As the only tertiary hospital in Kunming, it has a long history and inherits the aura of the Jiangnan water town.
The entire hospital is like a big park, with green trees everywhere, pavilions and pavilions everywhere, and the scenery is very beautiful.
There is an artificial pool at the main entrance of the hospital. The water is clear and translucent. From time to time, dozens of goldfish swim in groups and circle around a landscape stone in the center of the pool.
Dean Fang stood in front of the pool, surrounded by a group of hospital leaders, chatting and laughing.
From time to time, he glanced into the distance once or twice, with a hint of expectation in his expression, as if he was waiting for someone.
About five minutes later, I saw a bus approaching from a distance.
Dean Fang's eyes lit up, he waved his hand and shouted: "Here we come."
Everyone immediately fell silent, and everyone watched nervously as the bus drove over and stopped directly in front of the hospital.
The car door slowly opened, and Director Xia of the hospital office was the first to get out of the car.
Immediately afterwards, figures in suits and leather shoes appeared one after another.
These people all have Western faces, either blond or blue-eyed, or black-haired and brown-eyed. Some are tall or short, some are fat or thin, and there are more than ten of them.
Director Xia said something to the foreigners, and they all smiled happily and waved enthusiastically at Dean Fang.
Dean Fang showed a reserved smile and led the people around him to greet him.
"Hello, Dean Fang, nice to meet you. I'm Harrison from Cleveland."
The leading foreigner was Dr. Harrison. His fluent Chinese suddenly surprised everyone.
Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, Dr. Harrison couldn't help but show a sly smile: "I have been to China many times. I can speak a little bit and can carry out daily communication. No more."
Dean Fang laughed and said, "What a surprise. It seems you don't have to worry about communicating with patients anymore."
Translators from both sides were working hard to communicate.
After the greetings, we took a group photo together at the gate.
Afterwards, the group of people, led by Dean Fang, walked towards the outpatient building.
"Dr. Harrison, welcome. We will first visit the outpatient building, and then go to the surgical building and general building to meet with the directors of each department. We will have a meeting with them to get to know each other. If you want to exchange anything, you can come to the meeting. Let’s talk.” Dean Fang introduced as he walked away.
About ten days ago, he received a letter from the Cleveland Clinic in Eagle Country. At first, he thought it was a scam email, but then he thought it was wrong. The medical topics involved were too professional to be fake, so he called directly. This confirmed the authenticity of the email.
When he learned that the other party wanted to come from his hospital to study and communicate, he suddenly fell into ecstasy.
The Cleveland Clinic is the second-ranked private hospital in Eagle Country, and even the second-largest private hospital in the world, with some strong departments even ranking first.
Such a top-level hospital with extraordinary strength is far beyond what ordinary municipal-level tertiary hospitals can compare with.
Director Fang knew that for some special reasons, Cleveland cooperated with hospitals in China and would send some symptomatic patients for treatment.
But they are very picky about partners, and they only chose Xiehe Hospital in Beijing and Ruiji Hospital in Haicheng. These two are also top tertiary hospitals in China and among the best in the country.
Dean Fang never expected that such a hospital would bypass Xiehe and Ruiji and come directly to apply for study exchange.
At this moment, he was like a mouse falling into a rice vat, extremely happy.
"Haha, our hospital in Kunming is actually so attractive."
"In other words, aren't we more awesome than Concord and Ricky?"
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt relieved and instantly smiled from ear to ear.
After the matter was finalized, Dean Fang reported non-stop to the province and got the matter done before the year.
To this day, when he saw Harrison appearing in front of him, he still felt like he was in a dream.
However, he also knew very well that the other party came all the way here not to appreciate those crappy surgeries and treatment plans, but to come here for Sanqing's clinical trials.
Dr. Harrison also made this very clear.
Because of Sanqing Group’s latest research results, it will only consider applying for FDA review in Eagle Country with the trial data after completing clinical trials in China.
By the time foreign colleagues can see this new technology clinically, at least a year has passed.
During this period, foreign doctors could only look at domestic doctors with envy in major journals, desperately writing water-related clinical papers.
Can you not work hard? Domestic doctors have finally waited for such an opportunity to publish the world's first clinical case, so they have to work hard to publish papers.
You know, after an advanced and breakthrough treatment method comes out, the first person to publish a clinical paper will definitely come out on top, become famous, and even leave his name in the history of medicine.
In the past, such good things only fell on foreign doctors, and it was never their turn.
Because there are no breakthrough new technologies, there will naturally be no clinical cases.
They often know that there is such a new method that can save patients after seeing papers published by foreign doctors who have cured patients.
In the past, it often took several years for many new technologies to be introduced into the country.
Coupled with the time spent practicing in the hospital, to put it bluntly, it has caused a technical generation gap in the medical field at home and abroad for nearly ten years.
Now, this phenomenon has been completely reversed.
The first clinical case of using artificial blood to rescue a patient with massive bleeding.
First clinical case of using nanopills to treat superbugs.
These world-first hospitals now belong to Kunming First People's Hospital.
It is undoubtedly a huge improvement for the hospital's medical skills and reputation.
Subsequently, a steady stream of new cases also appeared in major hospitals in China.
It has nothing to do with foreign doctors.
They become the person who can only look at the paper and exclaim in amazement.
Everyone knows the reasons for this phenomenon.
The emergence of Sanqing has brought many changes and improvements to the Chinese medical community.
As a result, knowledgeable people abroad can no longer tolerate the continuation of this phenomenon.
They thought very well. Since they couldn't wait abroad, they came to Chinese hospitals to study and participate in Sanqing's clinical trials in advance.
Dean Fang couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he thought of this.
"Want to come and get the first publication of the paper? I won't let you succeed."
"It needs to be at least the third clinical stage before you can participate. At the same time, you have to work hard for me in the hospital."
"Since it is learning and communication, it must be a mutual behavior. There cannot be only one-sided teaching, otherwise it would be unfair."
"We will take this opportunity to open the eyes of the doctors in the hospital and see what the medical skills of the doctors in the best hospitals in the world are like. We must learn from them and improve our own skills."
Dean Fang made up his mind, with a hint of the smile of an old fox after his conspiracy succeeded.
Of course Dr. Harrison didn't know all this.
He took 12 department directors to visit the outpatient building, emergency room, ICU, and surgical building.
As we all know, the doctors in Eagle Country belong to the upper class. All of them are high-level elites, especially the department directors of top hospitals. They are the elites among the elites and the authority among the authorities. They are all elegant and generous, and full of momentum. You can tell at a glance. Not an ordinary person.
When such a group of people, dressed in crisp custom-made suits, appeared in the noisy outpatient hall, they instantly caused a sensation.
The patients' eyes were all attracted by these foreigners, and they were all whispering to each other.
"Why are there a group of foreigners here? Their clothes look expensive."
"The dean brought it with him personally. He must be a foreign guest."
"Their temperament is not simple at first glance."
"Could he be some foreign rich man?"
"Please, this is Kunming City, just a small county town. I want to go to Hangzhou City and Suzhou City. How can I come here?"
"Don't make such a fuss. Domestic medical technology is now very advanced, and it is normal for foreigners to come to see you."
"But they don't look like patients. Instead, they seem to be conducting inspections."
"I don't think he's a patient either. If he were a patient, wouldn't he just go to a few chief experts for consultation? Why are he wandering around so stupidly?"
The patients didn't know why after guessing for a long time, but they were all deeply impressed by these foreigners who stood out from the crowd.
When Dr. Harrison went to Ricky Hospital, he had seen big scenes. After all, the flow of people in Kunming was still not comparable to that of first-tier cities, so his expression was very calm and he remained calm from beginning to end.
But the other directors all exclaimed as if they had never seen the world before.
"Wow, there are actually so many patients?"
"As expected of China, it can manage so many patients in an orderly manner and allow them to come in with pain and come out healthy."
"These are all outpatients, there shouldn't be so many inpatients."
"Oh my God, if I had to treat so many patients every day, I would be exhausted."
"Maybe you will stay in the hospital every day, just like when you were an intern."
"Isn't this a good thing? He can have more wives."
"A doctor who works so hard should have a high income."
"Shh, don't talk about such sad topics. I heard that doctors in China don't earn much, at least compared to us."
"Okay, let's change to a more pure topic. With so many patients every day, medical skills will definitely improve very quickly."
"So Chinese doctors are more skilled than us and have seen more difficult and complicated diseases."
"Okay, I'm already starting to worry. We won't be compared. That would be really embarrassing."
"It's certainly not the case in all departments, but your department needs to be careful. That's where Sanqing will work."
After visiting the outpatient clinic and surgical building, the morning activities ended successfully.
After having lunch in the cafeteria, Harrison and his team came to the complex and entered a spacious conference room.
It was already full of people, all doctors from Kunming People's Hospital.
There are not only directors of major departments, but also deputy directors, attending physicians, and some outstanding young doctors.
A large conference room was packed to the brim.
After both parties took their places, Dean Fang showed a satisfied smile and spoke slowly.
"Let us give a warm welcome to President Harrison of Cleveland Hospital and all the experts from far away Eagle Country."
Warm applause instantly echoed throughout the conference room.
Dean Fang raised his hand, and the applause gradually subsided. He smiled and said, "Since there are so many people here, I will get down to business."
"Dean Harrison, I already have a general understanding of the purpose of your visit. Generally speaking, there is no problem."
"We are currently conducting some clinical trials that you can participate in."
Hearing this, the foreigners all smiled happily.
"However," Dean Fang continued, "in exchange, you all have to do some work for the hospital. This request is not too much."
Dr. Harrison pondered for a moment and asked, "Can I ask what kind of job it is?"
Dean Fang raised three fingers and said: "It's mainly about teaching work. You are all the top doctors in the world. These young doctors in our hospital are very eager to learn. They all want to learn medical skills from the best people."
"There are about three aspects. Every day we have to go to the clinic for two hours, do a demonstration teaching surgery, and give a one-hour lecture."
"How's it going? It's not too demanding."
"Don't worry, since the Chinese New Year is approaching, there will be far fewer patients, which will not affect your participation in clinical trials."
Harrison suddenly showed a wry smile. Clinic work and lectures were fine, and there wasn't much time.
But if you encounter a major surgery, you will have to work overtime.
This is really taking advantage of them.
But who told them to ask for help from others?
He discussed it with his subordinates for a long time, then pinched his nose and agreed.
Dean Fang was immediately overjoyed: "Great, let's do this. I won't take advantage of you. We can end the afternoon meeting early and let you participate in clinical trials and study later."
"Currently artificial blood and nanopills are being carried out. In addition, we also have capsule gastroenteroscopy here that you can learn how to operate."
"Don't worry about the outpatient clinic tomorrow morning. With the director of our department accompanying you, you only need to see the patient and make a joint diagnosis together, and then our people will prescribe the medicine. As for the teaching surgery, we will make arrangements for it."
Dr. Harrison was also very happy, rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "That's great, thank you very much."
“It’s really exciting to be able to participate in clinical trials and learn advanced treatment techniques as soon as I come here.”
"By the way, do you have any other questions?"
he asked impatiently.
A female doctor raised her hand and started asking questions in fluent English.
"Dr. Roman, I am Dr. Jane from the Department of Neurosurgery. You are a master in neurosurgery. I would like to ask about neuroendoscopic surgery for brainstem bleeding."
"This kind of surgery is extremely risky, extremely difficult, and has a high mortality rate. What are the aspects that need to be paid attention to during the surgery? Do you have any experience to share?"
Dr. Roman has black hair and black eyes, and seems to be of southern European descent. He was a little surprised and said: "Wow, beautiful lady, you are really an ambitious doctor, impressive."
"Brainstem hemorrhage is the most serious disease among cerebral hemorrhages. Whether surgery can be performed on the brainstem is the most important indicator for evaluating a neurosurgeon's level, and it is called the most difficult surgery."
"In my experience, to successfully complete the operation, the most important thing is to accurately position the patient, then enter the hematoma cavity under a neuroendoscope, and remove the hematoma while protecting the brainstem."
"In this regard, I have some trivial experiences to share..."
