"Professor Hu, so I think you need to take another look at this information and don't make such an arbitrary decision. The funding for the experiment is paid by the American medical device company that I cooperate with. As long as the number of cases is sufficient, they don't care to increase the funding.
.”
Cheney looks determined to win. He has always believed that no one can refuse the terms of cooperation he offers.
And he has reason to believe that Director Hu did not understand his information.
The advanced technology of the United States was so readily given to them for use, how could he refuse?
Director Hu sneered in his heart:
As Professor Liang explained, the basis of cooperation is equality, and we must maintain self-reliance and independence. If you talk about cooperation with immature technology and completely treat us as your laboratory, who are you kidding?
"We still won't talk about this." Director Hu still refused.
"Professor Hu ---" Cheney also wanted to lobby Director Hu, feeling that Director Hu would definitely agree.
Director Hu waved his hand: "Cheney, how about we complete the exchange meeting first, and then we will discuss cooperation with you after the meeting."
Cheney nodded with satisfaction, and things were still turning around.
The Chinese are reserved, obviously eager to cooperate but pretending to refuse.
"let's start!"
Director Hu made a gesture, indicating that Song Yun could give a speech in turn.
This kind of small salon-style exchange meeting usually starts with young and low-qualified doctors, each of whom gives a ten-minute speech. The topic this time is spinal tumors.
Here at Xiehe, several young doctors who spoke on stage included deputy chief physicians and attending physicians. Director Hu tried his best to give everyone the opportunity to come on stage and practice.
Academics require more exchanges, so that ideas can be broadened.
At the same time, Jing Yunsong has also completed his preoperative preparations and is ready to be sent to the operating room.
Jing Yunsong's bedside doctor, Dr. Kong, was also one of Yang Ping's admirers. He marked the patient for surgery, checked the completion of preoperative preparations, and then took several doctors on standby in the doctor's office.
According to Director Hu's original plan, Jing Yunsong had to be sent to the interventional department in advance for embolization of the blood supply vessels of the tumor, which could reduce intraoperative bleeding. However, Yang Ping said that there was no need for preoperative vascular embolization, which would save a step and time.
.
The sterile-packaged 3D printed artificial spinal prosthesis has also been delivered to the operating room and is ready for use.
Professor Liang specially arranged for Yang Ping to be the surgeon. In addition to combating Cheney's arrogance, more importantly, it is to build the academic confidence of young people. He hopes that everyone can be academically independent and self-reliant in the future, and maintain the ability to think independently.
Academic confidence is very important! Especially for a big country!
In the front row of the conference room, Cheney and Director Hu sat together, while Yang Ping and Professor Liang sat together.
Professor Liang and Yang Ping were smiling and chatting with their heads down from time to time.
"Cheney's technique should have taken a lot of time and effort. Compared with the previous total spondylectomy in the world, he has indeed improved the technique. Compared with the previous traditional surgery, it has obvious advantages." Yang Ping is very objective.
say.
Professor Liang was very familiar with Cheney: "They dissected fifty cadavers, then studied eighty experimental monkey spinal tumor models, and accumulated hundreds of surgical experience of total vertebra resection before completing the improvement of the surgery. He
His investment in spinal tumors is admirable. I appreciate his professional ability, but I am very disgusted with his character, which is arrogant, selfish, and a typical American character."
Professor Liang then told Yang Ping about being rejected for further study. In fact, the quota was very loose at that time. In order to maintain his academic advantage, Cheney did not want the Chinese to learn his new technology too quickly, so he deliberately refused Director Hu's further study.
ask.
"Westerners worship and respect strength, so today I will let you perform the surgery and show off your Chinese surgical techniques, which will also help our doctors build academic confidence." Professor Liang said with deep feeling.
Yang Ping agreed very much with what Professor Liang said. In fact, dealing with Americans is very simple, and fancy things are useless.
There are only two words that are useful---strength!
In fact, most of the foreigners who interact with Yang Ping are Americans, such as Robert, who is very easy to get along with.
Cheney's hospital, Dr. Woodhead of the Twin Cities Spine Center - Wu Zi! is also Yang Ping's friend. Now he is studying Chinese desperately. He is also a very hard-working, humble and motivated child, but his language talent is not very good and he always fails.
Level 4, almost going into depression, the whole forum is worried about that child.
In short, in Yang Ping's impression, these Americans have a rare virtue: humility!
Yang Ping believes that Dr. Cheney should also have this virtue of humility in his heart.
The first person to give a lecture was Song Yun. As a representative of young doctors from the Union Medical College, he spoke fluent English and used PPT with pictures and texts to explain the application of 3D printing technology in spinal tumors.
In the second row of the conference room, the professors from the Department of Orthopedics are sitting. These big guys are knowledgeable people. Some people just listened to Yang Ping’s class yesterday and wanted to see this surgery today.
The professor who had not attended Yang Ping's class yesterday heard everyone's discussion in the department group and saw the 42 pictures posted in the group. He rushed over early this morning, hoping to see the 42 pictures demonstrated.
surgical method.
Some professors studied forty-two pictures until early in the morning last night, and had many practical questions in their minds.
The third row is basically the deputy chief physician, the fourth row is the first-level attending physician, and the fifth row starts with free seating.
The seats in the conference room are not deliberately classified in this way, but this is a convention.
"Have you met Professor Yang in person?"
"I haven't seen it. Last time Director Hu led a delegation to Sanbo Hospital, I didn't participate."
"I heard you are very young?"
"I heard from the young people under my command that they are not yet thirty years old."
"Isn't it possible? Let me calculate, if you are less than thirty now, you can be promoted to a full-level position before you are thirty-five, so powerful."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "I think he will have no problem becoming an outstanding young man with his spinal external fixator technology. If this kid can continue step by step, he might be able to become our medical doctor."
The youngest academician in the world.”
"I have studied his spinal external fixator technology, and it is indeed very valuable. It is a world-class technology."
"I heard that the Phase III clinical trial of spinal external fixator was conducted in our hospital. Lu Donglai did not dare to sign. Mr. Liang put a knife on his neck to make him sign."
"Lu Donglai has also been engaged in administration for too long, and his mind is all about administration. He has to think about whether to advance or retreat, clinical trials of Class III devices, or devices from other hospitals. That is no joke. If something goes wrong, he will be responsible."
"So, Mr. Liang really has no selfish motives. I'm afraid we can't do this."
"This guy Cheney is here again. Mr. Liang seems to hate seeing this guy."
"I don't like this guy either. He's arrogant and selfish."
In the venue, while the two speakers were alternating, the two chief doctors leading the team were chatting.
Cheney is in a very good mood now. He has concluded that Director Hu will agree to his cooperation after the meeting, but the Chinese always like to make detours.
In order to show the advancement of his technology, he decided to spend more time explaining new technologies at the exchange meeting.
The advanced technology from the United States will definitely ignite the atmosphere at the scene.
Don't these doctors dream of acquiring American technology? They have requested further study many times in the past, but today it opened their eyes.
"Professor Hu, can you give me 30 minutes? Because what I brought this time is new technology and new equipment, it is difficult to explain clearly in ten minutes."
It was very impolite to give a speech at will beyond the allotted time, so Cheney applied to Director Hu in advance.
Director Hu calculated the time and could set aside thirty minutes. Since Cheney was so enthusiastic, he would meet his request.
The operation started at nine o'clock, still more than an hour away.
"No problem, for your new technology, your speech can be extended to thirty minutes."
"Excellent, thank you!" Cheney said enthusiastically.
Americans are born with a desire to perform, and every one of them has the potential to be president, and Cheney is no exception.
He planned in his mind how to use his high-pitched voice and wonderful speeches to completely conquer the hearts of these doctors with American technology!
Cheney has been to many hospitals in China and was invited as an absolute authority. To be honest, when looking for a partner for his new equipment, his first choice is Union Medical College. If Union Medical College is really unwilling, he still has many options and no one will refuse.
Such a rich temptation.
Merely, being the first doctor in Asia to use the new technology of the Twin Cities Spine Surgery Center in Minnesota, USA, can make collaborators leaders in this field.
His confidence is not without reason. Indeed, the temptation is very great.
Of course, Cheney still hopes that the partner will be Union Medical College, because this is the best hospital in China. It not only has rich patient resources, but will also help his new technology expand the market in China in the future.
Director Hu readily agreed to give Cheney thirty minutes, which further confirmed that Cheney's guess was correct and that the Chinese could not do without their advanced technology.
The speech on the stage has already begun, in order not to disturb the quiet venue.
Cheney wrote a note on a sticky note and handed it to Director Hu.
"Director Hu, in fact, the worst thing about you Chinese is that you are emotional. Unlike us Americans, who put interests first, we don't have any baggage when making choices. When there are interests, we can cooperate with anyone.
When our interests are damaged, we also know how to bow our heads and don’t care about saving face.”
Cheney felt that Director Hu's refusal was due to face issues, as he had previously refused his invitation for further study.
Director Hu saw that Cheney kept pestering him, so he had no choice but to be straightforward. He also tore off a piece of note paper on the desk and wrote in English: "Professor Cheney, I refuse your cooperation not because of face, but because of interests."
First, your new technology and equipment have many flaws. In other words, we think it is immature and backward. We have better technology, so why should we cooperate with you? So your new technology
New technological devices cannot bring me any benefits. Secondly, your new device cannot obtain an FDA clinical trial license in the United States due to inherent defects. You want to transfer the experiment to our hospital and use China's case resources, but you have to know,
The health of us Chinese people is equally important, but you still can't get a license. How can we do something that harms the interests of Chinese patients?"
After Cheney read Director Hu's note, he felt very angry like a dirty person whose dirty deeds were exposed in public.
Even if it has flaws, it is an advanced technology that is out of reach for you, and you still have to be picky.
"Director Hu, I have seen many operations in your hospital. The surgical treatment of spinal tumors is very backward. With all due respect, you are also very behind us in dealing with this type of patients. Do you dream of surpassing us on your own? New technology will definitely
There will be flaws. Yes, we are interested in your rich case resources. Cooperation itself means everyone gets what they need. Otherwise, why should we lag behind in our cooperation? Cooperating with those who are lagging behind unconditionally is not called cooperation, but called doing.
Charity. Don’t you know that even if our things are considered to be defective, they can still be advanced technologies that are difficult to obtain when given to you?”
Cheney held back his anger and wrote a lot densely.
Director Hu's words stimulated Cheney's arrogant heart. Cheney traveled around the world to give lectures and was treated like a distinguished guest. Even the technology he taught to doctors in backward countries many years ago can still be said to be advanced.
Now I am willing to teach advanced technology, but these doctors actually don't buy it.
"Be calm, Professor Cheney. You'd better adjust your mood, sit down quietly, and watch our demonstration surgery carefully. Then you will know how to respect people, and what is truly advanced, not just
Only you can innovate.”
Director Hu ignored Cheney's emotional changes. When dealing with Americans, it is better to be more straightforward. Being too subtle can easily cause misunderstandings.
"You have to know that you have made almost no contribution to modern medicine, and you must admit this fact."
Cheney scrawled a few words.
The exchange of notes was a little off topic. Director Hu frowned and responded with another note.
"Wu's mask and plague prevention (1910); replantation of amputated limbs (1963); synthetic crystalline bovine insulin (1965); artemisinin for the treatment of malaria (1972); arsenic trioxide for the treatment of acute promyelocytosis
Leukemia (1973); all-trans retinoic acid in the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia (1988). It’s just that you started early, and we were too far behind when we started. So far, I don’t have time to talk to you now.
Discussion, I suggest you wait and watch the demonstration surgery carefully, otherwise you will miss a lot of things."
Cheney stopped responding, okay, then I'll wait and see what the new technology you call is.
Doctors from both China and the United States took turns to take the stage to give speeches, which lasted for ten minutes each. The time was controlled very well. Everyone showed good qualities. No one delayed the time. Even if some individuals did not control the time well, they responded immediately as soon as the bell rang.
Stop speaking.
Cheney was the second to last speaker, and Director Hu was the last.
thirty minutes!
Cheney is confident!
He would spend thirty minutes telling all the doctors present what the truly advanced surgical method was.
