Dr. Roman talked a lot and added a few more words.
"Young lady, as a neurosurgeon, it is a good thing to be ambitious, but I want to remind you that this operation is still a bit difficult for you. You are still too young. It is best to do more. For third-level surgery, you must undergo sufficient practice before performing the surgery on the stage.”
Jian Jian Yun smiled slightly and said: "Thank you for the reminder. In fact, I have performed seven or eight cases of this kind of operation. Although the operations are all successful without exception, I still feel that my experience is too little and there are many technical problems. Areas that need improvement.”
"I feel I have benefited a lot from your experience and I am very much looking forward to my joint teaching surgery with you tomorrow."
"Huh?" Dr. Roman was stunned for a moment, with a look of disbelief on his face: "You are so young, how can you do this kind of surgery?"
Jian Lian Yun nodded and smiled without saying a word.
After being confirmed again, Dr. Roman's expression instantly lost control and he became a little lost.
"Oh my God, at your age, I was just a struggling medical intern."
"China is such a magical place. Are all neurosurgeons here geniuses?"
Other doctors, including Dr. Harrison, looked at Jian Lian Yun in shock at this time, with expressions of surprise and uncertainty on their faces.
Dean Fang couldn't help but grin, feeling extremely proud.
The questioning strategy of this meeting seemed to be very successful. He played his trump card at the beginning and asked the youngest and most promising doctor in the Department of Neurosurgery to take action. As expected, all the slightest suspicion in the other party's bones was put away.
He explained calmly: "Maybe there are too many patients in China. We can give young doctors ample opportunities to practice. Under such circumstances, truly capable doctors will naturally stand out."
Dr. Roman thought of the bustling queue in the outpatient hall with no end in sight. He suddenly nodded as if he had a sudden realization, and his expression returned to normal.
However, he still expressed his approval politely: "After seven years of neurosurgery training, I fully mastered this technique when I was in my early 40s. Young lady, you are very talented and you can have a promising future." Come on, come on!"
"I'm also looking forward to tomorrow's surgery."
In this way, the two sides had a heated discussion at the meeting, exchanging the most cutting-edge medical technology and the medical conditions of both hospitals.
After some exchanges, Harrison and his team were secretly shocked. The strength of this hospital in Kunming City was beyond their expectation. It was not much worse than the two hospitals they cooperated with, Xiehe Hospital and Ruiqi Hospital.
Not only is it excellent in terms of case accumulation, clinical experience and surgical skills, it is also excellent in the application of cutting-edge technology and equipment. As for its scientific research output, it is even more admirable.
Perhaps it is in terms of hospital population, surgical volume, and medical expenses that the Cleveland Clinic can open up a significant gap.
The First People's Hospital of Kunming has only more than 2,000 employees, while Cleveland has more than 40,000 employees.
Cleveland performs nearly 100,000 surgeries a year, while Kunming People's Hospital only performs one-third of that.
As for medical expenses, the difference is more than ten times.
Even taking into account the exchange rate difference, there is still a gap that is difficult to bridge in terms of size and scale.
In such a sharp contrast, there is not a huge gap in the overall medical level. In the eyes of Harrison and his colleagues, Kunming First People's Hospital has created a miracle.
This idea reached its peak when they watched the process of loading drug molecules into nanopills under a microscope.
To be honest, in the past, the high-ranking deans and directors, after witnessing the magic of nano-pills, cheered for joy, as happy as a 200-pound child.
"Wow, is this what nanotechnology is all about? It's amazing."
"It's so cute, just like little green elves."
"I'm really looking forward to seeing how it performs in patients."
"This trip is really worth it, and I don't know when we can start clinical practice in Eagle Country."
"Haha, this time we are ahead of Mayo, those people will definitely be angry to death."
They became even more excited after seeing patients infected with superbugs and forced to participate in clinical trials.
Some patients were still awake. When they saw a group of foreigners in white coats rushing in and dancing excitedly around them, they cried in fear.
"Mom, what's going on? Am I going to die?"
The patient looked around in horror, finally found a familiar face, and immediately screamed as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
"Doctor, do I have some terminal illness?"
"Why are so many people coming to watch? I don't want to die yet."
"Haha, it's okay. They are all experts from Eagle Country and want to observe and learn about the clinical trials of nano-pills."
The doctor in charge of the bed tried to calm the patient down.
Dr. Harrison smiled awkwardly and gave the others a look.
The foreigners were as quiet as chickens for a moment and watched the treatment process attentively.
****
Kunming First People's Hospital.
Uncle Zhang, accompanied by his son, walked into the outpatient hall.
They didn't make any stops, but went straight to the elevator, preparing to go to the third floor to see the cardiology clinic.
Not far away, I heard a commotion in the hall.
The two of them looked back together and saw that most of the people in the hall were gathered in front of the display wall, talking about something.
The buzzing sound kept coming from far away, and it was as noisy as a vegetable market.
As this man was older, he liked to watch the excitement. As soon as Uncle Zhang's footsteps moved, he couldn't help but walk over there, wanting to see what so many people were doing together.
The son quickly grabbed him and said, "Dad, don't go. You finally got the expert number, so you can't be late."
Uncle Zhang looked at it reluctantly for a few times and then looked away: "You can go and have a look after you get sick."
The two went to the cardiology clinic on the third floor and found the specialist clinic. They saw a notice posted above.
“We hereby inform you that experts from the Cleveland Clinic in Eagle Country have come to our hospital for study and exchange. In order to better serve patients and improve the outpatient level of our hospital, foreign experts will participate in the consultation at the expert clinic from February 3rd to 10th. "
The two of them were stunned for a moment, then became elated.
The son said happily: "Dad, this is a great thing. The doctor from Eagle Country has also come to Kunshi to treat your old problem of coronary heart disease. You need to see him to take a good look at it. You must not miss it."
"Look, I was right to ask you to come to see a doctor before the new year. Fortunately, there are few people this time. You can only make an appointment for a specialist in the first two days. Otherwise, when the number of people increases after the new year, it will not be so easy to get an appointment."
"By the way, there are probably notices posted on the display wall downstairs, so that's why so many people are looking at it."
Uncle Zhang nodded happily, and the two waited for a few minutes before it was their turn.
As soon as they opened the door, the two of them were stunned.
I saw the director of the cardiology department and a blond foreigner sitting at the desk together. In addition, they were surrounded by five or six young doctors, looking at me with bright eyes.
Being the focus of everyone's attention all of a sudden, Uncle Zhang was still not used to it. He was stunned for a moment before sitting down.
Director Gao smiled kindly and said: "Old man, you are the patient, right? What are you feeling uncomfortable about?"
At this time, the son took out a document bag and took out the previous medical records.
"Hello doctor, my dad has always had angina pectoris. He was diagnosed with coronary heart disease last year. He has been taking medicine since then and has gotten a little better."
"But the number of attacks has increased recently, and angina also occurs when there is no obvious activity, so I took him to have a look."
Director Gao took the medical records, flipped through them carefully, and said, "Let's put the medical records here with me. I'll do a CT scan first, and I'll also do an electrocardiogram and a cardiac color Doppler ultrasound."
After saying that, I opened the order with two swipes.
When Uncle Zhang came back from the examination, Director Gao couldn't help but frowned when he looked at the examination results in his hands.
Dr. Charlie, who was blond, blue-eyed and round, couldn't help but said: "What's wrong? What's wrong with the patient?"
Director Gao handed over the examination results in his hand and whispered: "Trouble, the patient's left main heart has stenosis, and is also accompanied by cardiac insufficiency, frequent angina pectoris and other symptoms. Considering that the patient's drug treatment is not effective, I'm afraid he will have to undergo surgery. .”
"But whether it is interventional treatment or bypass surgery, it is still unclear. Dr. Charlie, what do you think?"
Dr. Charlie read it attentively and said in deep thought: "You are right, the patient's condition is indeed serious. CT and echocardiography showed that atherosclerosis was very serious, the left main trunk of the heart was stenotic to 50%, and there were 3 more blood vessels. Coronary vascular disease, in this case, if you choose interventional treatment, a lot of stents will be placed, which greatly increases the chance of thrombosis, and I am afraid that heart bypass surgery will be required.
"Yes, in order to reduce the risk, it is better to undergo heart bypass surgery, otherwise once the left main artery becomes blocked or becomes restenotic, it may be fatal."
"The patient is also accompanied by cardiac insufficiency, and it is difficult for interventional therapy to promote the recovery of ischemic myocardium. This is why surgical bypass surgery must be chosen."
"But we still have to do a coronary angiogram, which is the gold standard for detecting coronary heart disease."
"Take it in first. Anyway, before the operation, you have to do angiography. When the angiography results come out, we will determine the specific surgical plan."
Director Gao and Dr. Charlie discussed it carefully and finally made a decision.
"Old man, your coronary heart disease is a bit serious. It is recommended that you undergo surgery as soon as possible."
"According to the results of my discussions with foreign experts, heart bypass surgery is necessary. This is recognized as the most effective way to treat coronary heart disease. After the surgery, it can improve the blood supply to the myocardium, relieve angina, and achieve the purpose of treatment."
Uncle Zhang was startled, and subconsciously wanted to question it, saying that he was in good health, how could it be so serious.
But suddenly seeing Dr. Yang sitting across from him with a smile on his face, these questioning words instantly got stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak out.
The son also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, since foreign experts also said so, it is certainly correct. When do you think I can have the surgery?"
Director Gao thought for a while and said: "Of course, the sooner the better. The Chinese New Year is about ten days away. It is best to have the surgery done before and then take good care of your body during the Chinese New Year."
The son forced a smile and asked, "Is this the surgeon you or the foreign expert?"
Director Gao smiled and said: "Of course we will do the surgery together. Don't worry about that. Dr. Charlie is the top cardiac surgeon in Eagle Country and the director of the cardiology department at the Cleveland Clinic. He has rich experience. If the two of us go on stage together, there will be no problem with the surgery." .”
Uncle Zhang and his son looked at each other, and their faces suddenly showed joy.
The son asked cautiously: "What about the price of this surgery? How much is it approximately?"
"Will the price be much higher because foreign doctors are involved?"
Director Gao explained patiently: "The cost of the operation is about 60,000 to 80,000, depending on the patient's specific situation. The cost will vary greatly depending on the difficulty. If it is all added up, it may cost hundreds of thousands. Bar."
"But you don't have to worry. This surgery is covered by medical insurance. In our city, we can usually reimburse 60 to 70%."
When Uncle Zhang heard this, he suddenly looked embarrassed, waved his hands and said, "Then let's think about it again."
The price was too expensive, and he was still hesitant and couldn't make up his mind.
The son hurriedly leaned into his ear and whispered: "Dad, don't be stupid. This person is the top cardiac surgeon in the Eagle Country, or at the director level. Such a person, even if he is rich, Even if you spend millions to go to Eagle Country for surgery, you still have to wait in line.”
"Don't push things out of your head when others can't ask for them. Besides, isn't there medical insurance?"
"Didn't you read the notice just now? The foreign doctor will only stay here for a week. If he misses this village, he won't be able to go to a store."
When Uncle Zhang heard this, he gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, then I'll listen to you."
Director Gao smiled and said: "Your decision is very wise. Let's do this. I will arrange for you to go through the hospitalization procedures in three days. This operation requires some routine examinations in advance. You will have to be hospitalized for 6 days to recover after the operation. It’s a good time to be discharged from the hospital and have a good year.”
Uncle Zhang gratefully agreed and left the clinic.
He and his son went to the first floor to pay, and then came to the outpatient hall.
There were still many people gathered in front of the display wall, and the two of them walked over curiously.
Sure enough, the same notices as in the outpatient clinics were posted on the wall. At the same time, under the expert introductions under each specialist outpatient clinic, the hospital also posted the resumes of foreign experts.
Looking at it one by one, there are a total of 12 outpatient departments. Every foreign expert is the chief physician of Cleveland. Their resumes are all blinding. They are either top international experts or one of the best in the world. They treat the patients like hungry wolves. His eyes were glowing green.
Uncle Zhang and his son also saw Dr. Charlie's resume and were shocked.
"Dad, this doctor is really awesome. He has performed more than 3,000 heart surgeries, won many awards, invented some new surgery, and actually wrote a textbook."
"This is the Cleveland Clinic. I just checked online and it ranks second among the best hospitals in the world. Dad, you are really lucky."
The son spoke excitedly, and his high tone immediately attracted the attention of others.
"Brother, have you already seen the expert clinic? Are there really foreign experts?" a patient's family member asked.
"Of course, we also made an appointment with foreign experts to perform the surgery."
Uncle Zhang's son recounted his medical experience in the clinic and said proudly.
The family members on the side were immediately envious: "You must have made the reservation a long time ago. We came late today and didn't even get the expert number."
When Uncle Zhang heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head and felt relieved, as if his condition was not that serious anymore.
At this moment, both of them were thankful for their decision to undergo surgery.
