Yang Ping did not have time to attend the European Spine Surgery Annual Meeting, but he sent Song Zimo and Xu Zhiliang to attend to broaden their horizons and see the world.
Song Zimo not only went to attend the conference, they were also one of the invited key guests. The topic of their speech was the key theme of the conference and represented the most advanced spinal surgery technology in the world today.
Xu Zhiliang's identity this time was Song Zimo's assistant. Because Xu Zhiliang stuttered and was not good at speaking, he did not like to appear in public. Originally, he did not want to attend meetings and just wanted to stay at home, but Yang Ping insisted that he go out to see the world, so he
Go to Europe with Song Zimo.
This is the first time that Song Zimo has appeared at an international conference in an independent capacity. In the past, he followed Yang Ping when he went abroad and acted as Yang Ping's assistant on various occasions. This time Song Zimo himself is the protagonist.
For the arrival of his senior brother, August made full preparations. In order to demonstrate the world's most advanced spinal surgery at this meeting, August also prepared many surgeries for Song Zimo to demonstrate, so Song Zimo was the one to demonstrate this time.
The absolute star protagonist of the meeting.
In addition to entertaining senior brother well, August also has to do a good job of receiving Professor Su.
At this time, August’s office at the Orthopedic Hospital in Haraching, Germany.
There was a cup of tea on the desk, and the smell of tea was lingering. August immersed himself in looking through the list of attendees of the annual meeting one by one. Among the densely packed names, he finally found Professor Su's name.
"Marcus, this is Professor Su Qingyun from China. Please arrange VIP seats for conference seating. Please arrange VIP rooms in the venue hotel for accommodation. A dedicated team will be set up to receive Professor Su. All expenses will be paid by me personally."
Guster breathed a sigh of relief after finishing his instructions.
Hotel rooms for conferences are limited, so they are generally reserved for invited VIPs, especially high-standard rooms such as suites, which can only be reserved for the world's top experts. Generally, doctors stay in other hotels near the venue, and
Most doctors pay for their own meals and accommodation.
The seats in the venue are also very particular. The first few rows are filled with internationally renowned experts, and the first row are the most respected experts among the experts, while ordinary doctors sit casually in the back.
Marcus could understand why he treated Song Zimo so grandly, but why he paid so much attention to Professor Su Qingyun, Marcus couldn't understand. August even spent his own money to use a presidential suite, a room that exceeded conference reception standards, to receive Professor Su.
He also ordered Professor Su to be equipped with a dedicated reception team. Such luxurious treatment made Marcus unbelievable.
"Why should we treat this Chinese doctor so specially?" Marcus expressed his confusion.
"He is Professor Yang's Master Taishan." August nodded slightly.
"Lord Tarzan?"
Marcus's Chinese is good, but it is far from August's level. He only knows that there is a very famous mountain in China called Mount Tai.
"Taishan refers to the wife's father, and Professor Su is the father of Professor Yang's wife."
August explained.
"Why is my wife's father called Taishan?"
Marcus is also a sharp-minded person. He has been learning Chinese recently and naturally likes to be more serious.
"This---this? Let me think about it. In Chinese, the common name for the wife's father is father-in-law. Yue means mountain in Chinese. From this we can see that father-in-law is the father of the mountain, and Mount Tai is the place in China.
Among the many mountains, he has a distinguished status and can be called the father of the mountain. From this reasoning, the father-in-law can become Mount Tai. I think the logic should be like this. The father-in-law means the father of the mountain, and Mount Tai is probably the father of the mountain, so the father-in-law is also the father of the mountain.
It’s called Taishan. This is my personal understanding. There is currently no rigorous academic data to support it.” August analyzed the relationship between his father-in-law and Taishan from a logical perspective.
Marcus nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that Mr. August's Chinese had reached a certain level. After careful consideration, it seemed that this was indeed what he meant.
Father-in-law = father of the mountain; Taishan = father of the mountain, so, father-in-law = Mount Tai.
"But I also speculated the same way during my last Chinese test. I always like to write girl as aunt. The teacher said it was wrong. Girl is a girl and aunt is aunt. But I don't think so. I think they have the same meaning. I argued with the teacher
, in the end we had a quarrel, I had to stick to my opinion, thinking that the two words have exactly the same meaning. In Chinese, mom and mother have the same meaning, mom is mother, mother is also mother, so mom and mother can be used interchangeably and interchangeably.
Substitution, so aunt and girl mean the same thing."
Marcus proudly said that his thoughts were the same as August's at the time, and he felt that his analysis was completely logical.
"Well, Marcus, your study attitude is very good, but you overlooked one detail. In Chinese, mother is younger than mother. Mother is a young woman, the future mother, and mother is an older woman, the future mother.
Now she has become my mother's woman, so the girl is a young woman, the future mother, and the aunt--oh my God, what's going on, let me think about it." August found his logical analysis.
I'm stuck here and can't get out.
"The teacher said that aunt refers specifically to dad's older sister, and girl refers to young women in general. There seems to be no logical connection between them." Marcus has been struggling with this issue.
"Let me think about it. Don't worry. My analysis of mother and mother here should be correct. You see, mother is a young woman and mother is a woman with children. Although aunt may not have children, her brother
She and her brother already have children, so it indirectly means that she is no longer young. But what is the difference between the two words "aunt"? Why are they both "aunt"? One specifically refers to the father's sister, and the other generally refers to a young woman.
, I am also very confused, please give me some time, let me think about it carefully, and then check the information before I answer you."
August rubbed his temples. Marcus admired August's rigorous learning spirit.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Well, putting aside these questions for the time being, Marcus thought in his mind that since he is Professor Yang’s Taishan, he must be treated very specially.
Marcus saw everything in his eyes. Mr. August was no different from the Englishman Milton before, but now he is completely different. August has left Milton far away, letting the latter
Out of reach.
Looking at the operations Mr. August performed after returning from China, there were not only patients from mainland Europe, but also patients from the United Kingdom. Most of the patients in the United Kingdom did not dare to perform operations that Milton could not perform, such as some very extreme operations.
But these cases seemed very easy in August's hands. In the past, Mr. August was able to face the scoliosis corrections that were thought to lead to paraplegia with ease and confidence, and so far there has not been a single complication.
No matter how difficult the operation is, August will now say: "Admit yourself to the hospital and do the operation!"
Especially for scoliosis patients who had no chance of surgery before, Mr. August always said after watching the X-ray: "Let me straighten him!"
Marcus also followed August in Malaysia at that time. The scene at that time was still vivid in his mind. August and Milton met Professor Yang in Malaysia at the same time. They rushed to establish friendship with Professor Yang, but now, this
After a while, everything changed. Milton was still the same Milton, but August was no longer the August he used to be.
Far more than that, Mr. August also brought back a mysterious technology---precision epiphyseal block technology to treat scoliosis. Oh my God, in Marcus' eyes, this is definitely science fiction level, but Austria
Gust's animal experiments were actually successful.
Now in Marcus's eyes, August is the god of spine surgery in Europe!

Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, USA.
After Robert returned from China, he carried out a large number of difficult surgeries. Multi-ligament injuries of shoulder and knee joints have always been a problem in the world. Once an athlete suffers from severe multi-ligament rupture, his sports career can basically be judged to be over. This serious and complicated situation
For injuries, it is impossible to use surgery to restore athletic ability. At most, normal walking ability can be restored.
However, Yang Ping designed a new surgery to end this situation. He brought the balance adjustment of reconstructed ligaments to a new level. It is this key balance adjustment that causes the multi-ligament rupture of the shoulder joint and knee joint.
Surgery has entered a new stage, allowing athletes to maximize their ability to recover.
Robert was the first to perform this kind of surgery in North America, and a large number of athletes flocked to it.
Not only was the surgery at New York's Hospital for Special Surgery postponed to a few years later, but even the surgeries at his Long Island clinic were also scheduled to be several years later.
Throughout North America, Robert has become a lonely existence seeking defeat. In the past, he was considered to have relied on the glory of his father's generation to stand at the top of North American sports medicine, but now it is different. Everyone has seen Robert's strength, and his academic achievements have surpassed his father's generation.
After returning to the United States, Robert began to promote China everywhere, and he wanted to change Americans' stereotypes about China.
Because many Americans have never been to China, their impression of China remains in a very stereotyped impression. For example, they think China is very poor, dirty, chaotic, and backward. One old doctor from the pathology department even asked
Robert: Do women in China still have their feet bound? Do men still have braids?
On weekends inside the hospital, Robert opened his own course - Real China, which attracted many doctors and nurses.
Robert said that there are mobile phone signals even in remote places in China, and the signals are very good.
"Aren't they doing a loss-making business?" someone wondered.
In the United States, let alone fringe areas, even in places with relatively small populations, there is no mobile phone signal, because it is a loss to build signal towers in these places, and no communication company is willing to do something that makes a loss.
"In China, this is a business undertaken by state-owned enterprises. Regardless of whether they make money or not, they must achieve full signal coverage because they believe this is a basic service to the people."
Robert said that China's subways are very clean and tidy, and no one will rob in the subway. You can walk around boldly. Not only that, in Chinese cities, it is normal life to go out to drink beer and eat supper in the middle of the night, and there is no need to worry about robbery.
, their public security is very good. I often go out to drink beer at night in China, and I have never encountered a robbery.
"Is this true? Oh my God, how could this happen? How could this be possible!" The audience made a roar, a little unbelievable.
Robert continued to say that this is nothing. China's Internet is very developed. When he is sitting in his dormitory, he can just click on his mobile phone and it will be delivered to the door very quickly. It is still hot. If he wants to buy anything, he can click on his mobile phone and it will be delivered quickly.
If it is delivered on the same day, it will only take two or three days. If you are not satisfied, you can return it at any time.
The audience in the audience seemed to be listening to a fantasy story, especially a doctor from the Department of Pharmacy who had just arrived from Canada. He absolutely did not believe in same-day delivery.
"How is it possible? Deliver it on the same day? It only takes two or three days. Are they all flying people?"
"You don't need to bring cash, credit cards or bank cards when you go out. You only need to bring a mobile phone. You can do everything from shopping, buses, subways, taxis, etc., even buying movie tickets. I have long been used to it in China.
A mobile phone can handle everything. After returning to the United States, I was not used to the life here."
Robert only gave a statement of things and did not give a detailed explanation, because some things cannot be explained. For example, how do you explain to the pathologist whether Chinese men still wear braids and whether women bind their feet?
So no matter how people in the audience questioned it, he just said: "I will pay for the round-trip air tickets. You go and have a look, and then there won't be so many problems."
Robert said: There are also amazing online articles that you can read in China. I have time to read online articles every night in China, which is very interesting. The food in China is really delicious. You don’t have to do the same thing every day if you want. I’m near a hospital.
, it was really fun to eat there one by one.
When colleagues heard what Robert said, they all felt itchy and wanted to buy air tickets and fly to China immediately to experience it.
"Where are the doctors? How is their doctor? Tell me about their doctor."
Someone was making noises.
"Their hospital is very efficient and the charges are very low. If the surgery is scheduled for several months like ours, it can even be calculated in years. When visiting the doctor, we see the patient for an hour or two, and then tell the patient that you should go back and strengthen physical exercise. Less
If you use a computer, the final consultation fee will be as high as tens of thousands of dollars. This will be hacked to death by the patient!" Robert said.
These words frightened these doctors.
"Compared to the workload of Chinese doctors, we are all working hard. We perform several surgeries a day, have to take breaks to drink coffee and watch TV, and then take long vacations every year. This is intolerable in China. People like us do it early.
I was kicked out of the hospital."
The audience was surprised again.
"Their volume of operations is huge, from morning till night, almost all year round. In addition to a large number of operations, they also have to go to outpatient clinics and do scientific research projects. They are all-rounders ---"
