The time has come to 1989, and this winter was extremely cold.

Chen Qi has been staying in the Department of Gastroenterology during this period. Of course, he is not kissing his wife, but he is screening patients suitable for endoscopic surgery.

His two endoscopic surgeries, one was transoral endoscopic fundoplication and the other was transoral endoscopic myotomy, were so small that they only performed one case each.

In medicine, isolated syndrome does not count.

When you invent a new surgical procedure, it must be supported by a large amount of clinical data.

For example, what is your cure rate, what is your failure rate, what are the side effects of surgery? What are the supporting treatments after surgery? etc.

You only need to explain these details clearly so that people can be convinced and promote it better.

This is the basic requirement of modern medical research. Even if Chen Qi just copied the homework of his previous life, there have been countless clinical data in his previous life to support the reliability of his surgery.

But the rules are the rules and cannot be changed by Chen Qi’s personal will.

Chen Qi ran into the inpatient department wearing a long down jacket. This kind of fluffy jacket is said to be a foreign product. Only two people in the Vietnam-China People's Hospital wear it, so it is very conspicuous.

These days, the only winter clothes for ordinary people are cotton-padded jackets and trousers.

Winter in the Jiangnan area is typically wet and cold. Like magic, the cold will freeze your entire body through your clothes.

Therefore, ordinary people wear thick clothes, with sweaters and woolen trousers underneath cotton-padded jackets and cotton trousers, and another layer of cotton sweaters and cotton-wool trousers underneath. The whole thing is very bulky and inconvenient to move around.

New cotton-padded clothes and cotton trousers are better. If worn for a long time, the cotton will become stiff. Not only does it have poor warmth retention, but it feels like wearing armor.

Down jackets are the ultimate windproof and warm weapon in winter.

In addition, another unique feature of Jiangnan’s wet and cold winters is that the outdoors is warmer than the indoors.

Because there are no radiators or stoves or fire pits in Jiangnan, people only need to wear more clothes and pants to stay warm in winter, and the rest is to fight with their integrity.

This is a hardship for those hospitalized patients. They are already weak. As a result, there is no heat, air conditioning or radiator in the ward. They can only bring quilts from their own homes and cover them tightly.

The patient was sad, and so was the doctor. Chen Qi sat in the office and looked at the hospitalization records, and had to stand up and shake from time to time.

He couldn't do it without shaking. If he didn't shake his feet, they would be numb from the cold. In order to maintain his grace, he still wore leather shoes.

In fact, Chen bought several heaters from abroad, plugged them in and placed them under the table. They were warm and comfortable.

But Director Lan refused to let it be used.

The reason is that the power consumption of the heater is too high, and the collective wool cannot be used for personal enjoyment, and the dean cannot be special and must take the lead and set an example.

There was no other way. Poor Dean Chen could only wear a thick down jacket and start working with his whole body trembling.

Fortunately, due to the application of quadruple therapy in the gastroenterology department of Yuezhong People's Hospital, patients from all over the province come for treatment, so there is no shortage of patient resources, and Chen Qi can slowly choose.

So is the patient willing to undergo endoscopic treatment? After all, he is admitted to the internal medicine department and does not have the budget for surgery.

In fact, this problem can be easily solved. After Lu Zhaodi's surgery was successful, her parents have been helping to promote the magic of endoscopic surgery in the inpatient department.

The inpatient unit is so big, and family members often get together to gossip, so the advertisement was made.

The other is that endoscopic surgery only charges a cost, that is, the anesthesia is paid for. There is no charge for the surgery, which is equivalent to giving it to the patient for free.

As long as it is free, the idea of ​​ordinary people taking advantage will dominate, so everyone is rushing to get an endoscopy.

All Chen Qi has to do is to screen to see who are suitable for endoscopy, which people are suitable for conservative treatment, and which patients need to be sent to surgery for laparotomy.

In the past half month, 15 endoscopic surgeries have been performed. Dr. Chen, who has a golden finger, has a success rate of 100%.

While everyone was busy working, Section Chief Liu from the hospital office came over.

Chen Qi was a little surprised when he saw the reception notice above:

"Hey, Fudan Zhongshan Hospital has just arrived, so why are there a group of American doctors here again? I haven't finished my thesis yet. How did they know that I was doing endoscopic surgery?"

The notice stated that a delegation of 8 people from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in the United States will visit the Vietnam-China People's Hospital on January 20. Relevant departments require the Vietnam-China People's Hospital to attach great importance to politics and ensure reception.

……

After Chen Qi read it, he signed his name on the notice to express that he had received it, and then put the notice aside and ignored it.

Liu Huichun was stunned when he saw it: "Dean Chen, this is a visit from a foreign guest."

Chen Qi blinked: "Yes, if foreigners come to visit, then we can just receive them and show them whatever they want to learn. What's wrong?"

"Then shouldn't we give a grand reception? This is the first time in the history of our People's Hospital that foreign guests, including American doctors, have visited us. Shouldn't we renovate the hospital and conduct a general cleaning of the whole hospital?

In addition, we need to arrange reception staff, such as a drum band and so on. In addition, should we prepare some local specialties, and should we arrange singing, dancing or opera performances? These things are all complicated, and you have to give instructions.

”

Chen Qi is a man who has seen the world and is not shy about foreigners.

But for a small city like Vietnam, it is rare for foreign guests to come, let alone Americans from the most developed country in the world, so they should be well received.

If nothing else happens, when these American doctors go to Vietnam and China, there will be police cars clearing the way and they will enjoy the "state guest treatment."

No wonder Liu Huichun was anxious. She didn't know how to receive the reception without the dean's instructions. In addition, the reception would incur expenses, which also required the dean's consent.

"What are you preparing for? Just scan the ground and put things away when the time comes. The American doctors are here to learn my endoscopic skills, not to see how luxurious our hospital is and how happy the doctors are. Besides,

..."

Chen Qi pointed to the gastroenterology office where he was.

"Look, how do our conditions compare with doctors in the United States? We don't even have an air conditioner, and we don't have a computer in the office. The walls are painted and the floor is cement. How are we going to decorate it? We might as well buy more if we have this money.

What about medical equipment?"

When Section Chief Liu heard this, he knew that the young dean couldn't make sense, so he was so angry that he ran to the secretary's office again.

When Lao Guo heard this, his eyes really lit up and he clapped his arms:

"Damn it, I know that this guy Chen Qi is not reliable enough. Receiving foreign guests is related to the face of our country. How can we do it casually? That Xiao Liu, please immediately notify the middle-level and above cadres of the whole hospital to hold a meeting. Let's discuss it.

, set up a reception team, and this matter must be handled in a big way."

Liu Huichun breathed a sigh of relief and thought that this was right. This was the proper attitude towards receiving foreign guests.

"Guo Shuji, should I inform Dean Chen?"

Lao Guo thought for a moment and decided to forget it:

"Don't call him. If he likes to do clinical work, just let him go. If you piss him off and he leaves, then this reception mission is just an empty talk. If the superiors slap him down, none of us can escape.

."

Liu Huichun thought the same thing. Dean Chen was born in the year of a donkey. If he couldn't be led away and pushed back, it would be better to just let nature take its course.

January 20

The Chinese New Year will be here in 10 days, and the New Year atmosphere in Yuezhong City is already very strong. Some patients from other places, as long as they are not seriously ill, have basically returned to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year.

Therefore, the period before Chinese New Year is the most idle time for Vietnam-China People's Hospital.

Employees also started to enter the New Year mode in twos and threes, chatting at work, buying some New Year goods after get off work, and thinking about what their own units would give out during the New Year.

But the employees' leisure was broken by a few foreigners.

Near noon, people who had been waiting in the outpatient hall for a long time finally heard the sound of sirens, and then saw a police car driving out of the way, followed by several vans.

Comrade Lao Guo was excited: "Hurry up, the state guests are here, the drum band is ready, let's start!"

Didi, didi, didi, doe, beep, beep~~~~

This is the honor guard of the health school. Everyone is on winter vacation, so I was specially called back from home by the school to play and play.

After a few men and women with yellow hair and white skin got off the car, several young nurses from the People's Hospital came forward and presented them with flowers.

Speaking of which, I specially bought these flowers from the provincial capital. There was no way, it was winter, and there were no flower shops in central Vietnam, so there was no place to buy them.

This grand gesture scared several American doctors into a daze. I saw this scene in the documentary of Nixon's visit to China. Who would have thought that they would also receive such treatment?

Then there was a sense of novelty. It was the first time that people came to a socialist country, and they were full of curiosity about the people, buildings, and customs here, so everyone took out their cameras and started taking pictures.

Anyway, half of the purpose of these American doctors is to travel.

However, while feeling novel, these American doctors couldn't help but groan:

"Hey, you said this hospital is really shabby. It's older than the worst hospital I've ever been to in Mississippi."

"Yeah, it's hard to imagine that such a hospital can actually perform the most advanced surgeries in the world."

"That's not necessarily true. People with such backward conditions can even build an atomic bomb. Nothing is impossible."

American doctors are right. Senior intellectuals all have their own independent judgment. It is not easy for them to make arbitrary definitions before they have truly seen the surgical skills of Chinese doctors.

Director Fan from the Department of Health got off the car and quickly ran to the reception staff of the People's Hospital:

"Lao Guo, Chen Qi, how are you? Are you ready for the reception? Nothing unexpected happened?"

Lao Guo replied excitedly: "No problem, we will receive everything according to foreign affairs standards, and there will be absolutely no omissions."

Director Fan then nodded with confidence:

"That's good. Let me tell you, the foreign doctors who came to your Vietnam-China People's Hospital for inspection this time are of very good quality. In addition to the doctors from Sid Sinai Medical Center originally scheduled, there is also the president of the International Society of Gastroenterology, Ge.

Professor Reese, a total of 15 people came.

This is the first time that the domestic health system has received such a large-scale and high-level inspection organized by an international medical association, so you cannot attach too much importance to it. You must be very energetic. If anything happens, I will only ask you."
