Chapter 651 The virtue of modesty
"Professor Hu, so I think it is necessary for you to look at this information again. Don't make such an arbitrary decision. The funds for the experiment are paid by the American medical device company that I cooperate with. As long as the number of cases is sufficient, they don't care about increasing the funds. .”

Cheney looked determined to win. He always believed that no one could refuse the terms of cooperation he offered.

And he had reason to believe that Director Hu didn't understand his own information.

How could he refuse to hand over the advanced technology of the United States to them so readily.

Director Hu sneered in his heart:

As Professor Liang explained, the basis of cooperation is equality, and we must maintain self-renewal and independence. If you talk about cooperation with immature technology and treat us as your laboratory, who are you kidding?

"We still don't talk about it." Director Hu still refused.

"Professor Hu—" Cheney wanted to lobby Director Hu, thinking that Director Hu would definitely agree.

Director Hu waved his hand: "Cheney, why don't we finish the exchange meeting first, and then we can discuss cooperation with you after the meeting."

Cheney nodded in satisfaction, and things have turned around.

The Chinese are reserved, they are obviously eager to cooperate, but pretend to refuse.

"let's start!"

Director Hu made a gesture to indicate that Song Yun could take turns to give speeches.

This kind of small salon-style exchange meeting usually starts with young doctors with low qualifications, and each person gives a 10-minute speech. The theme this time is spinal tumors.

On Xiehe’s side, several young doctors spoke on stage, including deputy chief physicians and attending physicians. Director Hu tried his best to give everyone the opportunity to be on stage and exercise.

Academia requires more exchanges, so that the mind can be broadened.

At the same time, Jing Yunsong has also completed the preoperative preparations and is ready to be sent to the operating room.

Jing Yunsong's bed doctor, Dr. Kong, is also one of Yang Ping's admirers. He marks the patient for surgery, checks the preoperative preparation, and then takes several doctors to stand by 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 tumor blood vessels, which could reduce intraoperative bleeding, but Yang Ping said that there is no need for preoperative blood vessel embolization, which just saves one step and saves time. .

The sterilized 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 chief surgeon. In addition to combating Cheney's arrogance, the more important thing is to build up the academic self-confidence of young people. He hopes that everyone can be independent and self-renewing academically in the future, and can maintain the ability of independent thinking.

Academic confidence is very important!Especially for a big country!
In the front row of the meeting room, Cheney sat with Director Hu, while Yang Ping sat with Professor Liang.

Professor Liang and Yang Ping both smiled and chatted with their heads down from time to time.

"Cheney's technique must have taken a lot of time and effort. Compared with the previous total vertebral resection 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 is very familiar with Cheney: "They dissected [-] cadavers, then studied [-] experimental monkey models of spinal tumors, and accumulated hundreds of cases of total vertebral resection before completing the improvement of the operation. The investment in spinal tumors is admirable, I appreciate his professional ability, but I am very disgusted with his character, arrogant, selfish, typical American character."

Then Professor Liang told Yang Ping about the refusal of advanced studies. In fact, the number of places was very loose at that time. Cheney deliberately refused Director Hu’s advanced studies in order to maintain his academic advantages and did not want the Chinese to learn his new technology too quickly. ask.

"Westerners all worship strength and respect strength, so today I will ask you to be the chief surgeon and show off your Chinese techniques, and by the way, let our doctors build up their academic confidence." Professor Liang said with deep emotion.

Yang Ping agreed with Professor Liang's words very much. In fact, dealing with Americans is very simple, and bells and whistles are useless.

Only two words are useful ---strength!

The foreigners who deal with Yang Ping are actually Americans, such as Robert, who are very easy to get along with.

Cheney's hospital, Dr. Woodhead of the Twin Cities Spine Center---Wu Zi!He is also Yang Ping's friend. He is studying Chinese desperately now. He is also a very hard-working, humble and motivated child, but his language talent is not very good. He always fails to pass the fourth level and is almost driven into depression. The whole forum is worried about that child.

In short, in Yang Ping's impression, these Americans all have a rare virtue: modesty!

Yang Ping believes that this Dr. Cheney should also have this kind of modesty in his bones.

The first person to give a lecture was Song Yun. As a representative of the young doctors of Xiehe, he spoke fluent English and presented PPT with pictures and texts. He was explaining the application of 3D printing technology in spinal tumors.

In the conference room, in the second row are the professors leading the Orthopedics Association. These bigwigs are all knowledgeable people. Some people just listened to Yang Ping's class yesterday, and they really want to see this operation today.

And the professor who hadn't attended Yang Ping's class yesterday, heard everyone's discussion in the department group, saw 42 pictures posted in the group, and rushed over early this morning, hoping to see the surgical method demonstrated by the 42 pictures.

Some professors studied 42 pictures last night until early in the morning, and they had a lot of practical questions in mind.

The third row is basically the deputy chief physician, the fourth row is the first-level attending physicians, and the fifth row is free seating.

The seats in the conference room were not deliberately graded in this way, but this was a matter of convention.

"Have you met Professor Yang himself?"

"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 30 years old."

"Impossible? Let me do the math. If I'm under 30 now, I can be promoted to Zhenggao before I'm 35. It's so powerful."

"I don't think it's a problem for him to become an outstanding young man with his spinal external fixator technology. If this kid can keep going step by step, he might become the youngest academician in our medical field."

"I have studied his spinal external fixator technology, and it is indeed very valuable. This is a world-class technology."

"I heard that the third phase of the clinical trial of the external fixator for the spine was assigned to our hospital, but Lu Donglai dared not sign it. Mr. Liang put a knife on his neck and asked him to sign it."

"Lu Donglai has also been engaged in administration for too long. His mind is full of administration. He has to think about advances and retreats. The clinical trials of three types of equipment are still equipment from other hospitals. That is not a joke. If something really happens, he will be responsible."

"So, Mr. Liang is really selfless. I'm afraid we can't do that."

"This guy Cheney is here again. Mr. Liang seems to dislike him very much."

"I don't want to see this person either, he's arrogant and selfish."

In the venue, taking advantage of the interval between the two speakers, the two chief physicians leading the group 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 play around the corner.

In order to show the advanced nature of his technology, he decided to spend more time explaining new technologies at the exchange meeting.

The advanced technology from the United States will surely detonate the atmosphere of the scene.

Aren't these doctors dreaming of American technology?In the past, he asked for advanced studies many times, and today he opened his eyes.

"Professor Hu, can you give me 30 minutes? Because this time I brought new technology and new equipment, it is difficult to explain clearly in 10 minutes."

It is very impolite to give a speech beyond the stipulated time at will, so Cheney applied to Director Hu in advance.

Director Hu calculated the time, and he could set aside 10 minutes. Since Cheney was so enthusiastic, his request was met.

The operation didn't start until nine o'clock, and there was still more than an hour left.

"No problem, your presentation can be extended to three 10 minutes for your new technology."

"Great, thank you!" Cheney said in high spirits.

Americans are born with a desire to perform, and all of them have the potential to be president, and Cheney is no exception.

He planned in his heart how to use his high-pitched voice and wonderful speeches to let American technology completely conquer the hearts of these doctors!

Cheney has been to many hospitals in China, and he was invited as an absolute authority. To be honest, when he was looking for a partner for his new device, he preferred Concord. If Concord was really unwilling, he still had many options, and no one would refuse Such a rich temptation.

Just one thing, the first doctor in Asia to use the new technology of the Minnesota Twin Cities Spine Surgery Center in the United States can make the collaborator become the leader in this field.

His self-confidence is not without reason, indeed, the temptation is very great.

Of course, Cheney still hopes that the partner is Xiehe, because this is the best hospital in China, which not only has abundant case resources, but also helps his new technology expand the market in China in the future.

Director Hu readily agreed to give Cheney 10 minutes, which made Cheney more sure that his guess was correct, and the Chinese cannot do without their own advanced technology.

The speech on the stage has already started, 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, so we don't have any burden when making choices. When there is interest, we can cooperate with anyone. When interests are damaged, we also know how to bow our heads and don't care about face."

Cheney felt that Director Hu's refusal was due to a matter of face, and he had previously rejected his invitation to study.

Director Hu saw that Cheney had been stalking, so he had no choice but to be straightforward, and tore off a piece of note paper on the desktop, and wrote it in English: "Professor Cheney, I refuse your cooperation not because of face, but because of two interests." First, your new technology and equipment have many defects. In other words, we think it is immature and backward. We have better technology, why should we cooperate with you? So your new New technological devices cannot give me any benefits. Second, 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 the case resources in China, but you must know that The health of our Chinese is equally important, and you still can’t get a license, how can we do something that harms the interests of Chinese patients?”

After reading Director Hu's note, Cheney was very annoyed like a dirty person being exposed in public.

Even if there are flaws, it is an unattainable advanced technology for you, and you still have to pick and choose.

"Director Hu, I have seen many surgeries in your hospital. The surgical treatment of spinal tumors is very backward. With all due respect, your treatment of such patients is also very backward compared to ours. Do you dream of surpassing us by yourself? New technology must There will be flaws, yes, we are looking at your rich case resources, and cooperation itself is what we need, otherwise why should we lag behind our cooperation? Unconditionally cooperate with the laggards, that is not called cooperation, but called doing Charity. Don't you know that even what is considered flawed in ours can still be advanced technology that is hard to come by when you get it."

Cheney held back his anger and wrote a lot densely.

Director Hu's words stimulated Cheney's arrogant heart. Cheney gave lectures all over the world and was treated as a guest of honor. Even if the technology he taught many years ago to doctors in backward countries, it can still be said to be advanced.

Now that I am willing to teach advanced technology, these doctors don't buy it.

"Don't be impatient, Professor Cheney, you'd better adjust your emotions, sit down quietly, and watch our demo surgery carefully, then you will know how to respect people, what is truly advanced, not only You can innovate."

Director Hu ignored Cheney's emotional changes. When dealing with Americans, it's better to be straightforward. Being too subtle will easily lead to misunderstanding.

"You have to know that you have almost made no contribution to modern medicine, and you must admit this fact."

Cheney scribbled a few words.

The exchange of sticky notes was a bit off topic, Director Hu frowned, and responded with another one.

"Wood's mask and plague control (1910); limb replantation (1963); artificial synthesis of crystalline bovine insulin (1965); artemisinin for malaria (1972); arsenic trioxide for acute promyelocytosis Leukemia (1973); All-trans Retinoic Acid for Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (1988), but you started early, and we were too far behind at the start, so far, I don't have time to talk to you now Discussion, I suggest you watch the demonstration surgery carefully later, otherwise you will miss a lot of things."

Cheney stopped responding, well, then I will wait to see what your so-called new technology is.

Doctors from China and the United States took turns to speak on the stage and continued, each 10 minutes, the time was very well controlled, everyone showed good qualities, no one delayed the time, even if some individual did not control the time well, the bell rang immediately Stop speaking.

Cheney was the penultimate speaker, and Director Hu was the last.

Three 10 minutes!

Cheney is full of confidence!

He will spend three to ten minutes telling all the doctors present what is the real advanced surgical method.
