Chapter 576 Debate within the Council(1/2)
The 4 teaching surgeries that Chen Qi performed in Japan are being played on the TV screen.
One fundoplication, one POEM, one ESD, and one esophageal tumor removal.
Let’s explain it this way. Except for the fundoplication surgery, which is a modified surgery, the next three surgeries are all original surgeries, which are unheard of surgeries.
The invention and success of these four surgeries have solved all the previously unsolvable problems in gastroenterology.
It is possible to cure many diseases that had no control before. This is a huge step in the history of clinical gastroenterology medicine.
For example, for "refractory esophageal reflux disease", gastrointestinal doctors have no particularly good method except suppressing gastric acid, because medical treatment is actually ineffective.
In the end, you either have to watch the patient slowly die due to long-term consumption, or you have the surgeon cut off the stomach, which is a suicidal treatment plan that kills one thousand enemies and damages eight hundred.
And now there is a third treatment option, which not only can save the stomach from being removed, but also has better curative effect. How many patients will benefit from this?
Another example is the invention of ESD surgery, which has helped countless patients with early-stage cancer to clear their lesions in time, so that the disease will not develop into an irreversible situation.
Nowadays, a simple endoscopic surgery can solve most "early cancers", and the field of gastroenterology has another magic weapon for treatment.
These are all to save people.
In the conference room, more than 40 senior executives of the WGO Society saw the endoscopic surgery on the screen. They all covered their mouths and looked in disbelief.
"Oh my god, how did the surgeon think of building a tunnel between the gastric mucosa and muscular layer?"
"Yes, dig. It turns out that a simple dig can solve early cancer. Why didn't I think of it?"
"God, why do we need surgeons in the future? We physicians are going to replace surgeons!"
Many doctors couldn't help but started talking in low voices.
"The ring sphincter in the cardiac region can actually be cut off in this way to relieve obstruction caused by muscle tension. We have discovered this a long time ago, but there has been no good way to solve it, and as a result, others have preempted it."
"It's okay for you, but it's even worse for me. I'm currently working on a project on esophageal tumors. As a result, Dr. Hua Guo has been able to treat it through endoscopic treatment. Unfortunately, the project I've been studying for 2 years has been scrapped. The graduate student I led
I'm going to faint in the toilet from crying."
"It's so miserable. Two or three years have been wasted. I have to delay my graduation. I have to find a new topic before I can graduate."
"If we also learn these operations, we can definitely become famous."
"It seems that this director was not elected based on connections, but on strength."
As soon as the TV screen was turned off, Professor Grace asked with a smile:
"How about it, after watching the 4 teaching surgery videos, do you still think Dr. Chen Qi is not qualified to be a director? Is he not qualified to join the digestive endoscopy branch?"
There was silence in the venue.
The Digestive Endoscopy Branch was an independent medical organization in Chen Qi's previous life, but in 1989 it was still a secondary society under the International Society of Gastroenterology.
As mentioned before, there are only a few high-level positions in any medical association. Whoever can get this spot will become the world's top doctor.
When you introduce yourself to a patient, saying that I am the president of the International Society of Gastroenterology is completely different from saying that I am an ordinary member of the Medical Association.
If you can become the president, vice-president, or director of the International Medical Association, are you not a technical expert?
The patient's family members naturally know how much the doctor's appearance fee is, and they pay it willingly.
Then pharmaceutical companies come to talk to you about cooperation or endorsements, which are benefits that can only be enjoyed by senior members of medical associations. Ordinary doctors can only envy you.
Even if you can earn extra money by giving lectures or performing teaching surgeries, the fees will be different.
Think about the day before Chen Qi was reborn, an operation was obviously performed by him, a small doctor, but the red envelope given by his family was to the big professor next to him.
What is a little doctor? He is just a tool, and people only care about him because of his reputation as a great professor.
Therefore, being elected to the top of major medical associations is not only an affirmation of your doctor's personal achievements, but also a very high honor, and it is also a major event related to the doctor's personal wallet.
Now that Chen Qi wants to take over, he must squeeze out another person.
At this time, Professor Kim Pu-taek from South Korea raised objections:
"Mr. President, everyone, we have only seen a few surgical videos, but have not seen the surgeon himself, and there are no relevant papers published. The authenticity is obviously doubtful, at least it cannot convince us."
As a former vassal state of a certain country, South Korea has always played the role of a good son.
As a result, after World War II, because of having a financial sponsor father, it suddenly became a "quasi-developed country". How humble it was before, it is now so rampant.
The national mentality of this country is also the same. They feel that now that I am prosperous and you are in decline, you deserve to be looked down upon and stepped on. After being a slave for thousands of years, you finally become a master.
This kind of brainless mentality has led them to almost reach the point where they are "rebellious in every situation". As long as it is anything proposed by China, they will deny it with their eyes closed.
If they really can’t deny it, they will continue to close their eyes and say it’s theirs.
Typical extreme self-esteem arising from extreme low self-esteem, for example, look at their performance in the sports world, which vividly demonstrates the small situation of a small country with few people.
Professor Grace knows that South Koreans are unruly, but as president, he must "tolerate" different opinions.
"Professor Jin, these four surgeries were performed at the University of Tokyo Medical Center. Not only myself, but also Professor Sakuda Tsukasa and hundreds of gastroenterologists were watching live. There is no doubt about the authenticity."
Professor Sakuta Tsukasa mentioned him. Although he was not so willing, he had to admit:
"Yes, I personally presided over these four teaching surgeries. I also witnessed Dr. Chen Qi's miraculous surgeries on site. They were very impressive."
At this time, Hendricka from Asan Kingdom was unconvinced:
"This is impossible, absolutely impossible. As far as I know, no hospital in China is currently performing endoscopic surgery. Their endoscopic studio is more used for auxiliary examinations. I doubt they can even buy it.
Starting from endoscopic equipment, where does Dr. Chen Qi’s technology come from?”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the venue started talking about it, obviously they believed it a lot.
Yes, where did you learn it?
You must know that the best gastroenterologists or gastroenterologists in the world are all in this conference room. 41 people can represent the highest level in the international gastrointestinal field.
How did this Chinese doctor do the endoscopic surgery that even 41 of them could not complete? Which master did he follow?
This is actually the biggest suspense and question that Chen Qi has left for everyone.
Professor Segel from Sweden was dissatisfied and stood up and asked:
"Can doctors in China only learn from foreign doctors to master a technology? Can't they invent their own original technology? So where did the technology of doctors from developed countries like us come from? Did it fall from the sky?"
p>
Dr. Asan was obviously not convinced: "I don't know what inventions made by Chinese doctors have promoted the development of world medical history."
Professor Segel laughed contemptuously:
"Then I don't know what outstanding contribution Professor Hendricka has made, so that he can actually become a director of the Society of Gastroenterology?"
Dr. Asanguo became a director of the International Society of Gastroenterology because Pfizer took a fancy to Asanguo's huge market of more than one billion people, so it sponsored Hendricka and elevated him to the position of director.
In this way, Hendricka became the most famous, most authoritative, and most influential doctor in Asan Kingdom.
Then Hendricka, in turn, helps Pfizer promote their drugs and medical devices, and both parties form a community of interests and make a fortune together.
As for Hendricka's own level, there is definitely some level, but when it comes to how much, it actually only matters that much.
There is a chain of contempt between countries, and there is also a chain of contempt between doctors.
As a European doctor, Segel looked down upon this parallel doctor Asanguo.
Asan, who considers himself to be the largest resident country in the world, completely looks down on China, and doesn’t know where he got the courage.
As a staunch ally of Chen Qi and Lan Lijuan, Segel felt that he should ridicule Dr. Asan, whose whole body was filled with strange perfume:
"That's not necessarily true. The Helicobacter pylori theory that is currently being discussed very intensely was discovered by Dr. Chen Qi and his wife Dr. Lan Lijuan from China. If this theory is established, then our current textbooks will have to be rewritten.<
/p>
This is a major discovery of Nobel Prize level. Professor Xiangde, do you think that with this innovation, two Chinese doctors are qualified to join the board of directors of our WGO society?"
Segel is a professor at Karolinska University Hospital in Sweden, and the Nobel Prize in Medicine is also selected by this university, so his words are definitely instructive and made everyone at the scene take a breath.
The Nobel Prize in Medicine is an award that every doctor and medical researcher dreams of.
Next to him, Professor Bradrick from the United States also echoed loudly:
"I think Segel is right. I have seen Dr. Chen Qi's endoscopic surgery with my own eyes. I can only describe it as miraculous."
South Korea's Kim Pu-taek was still dissatisfied, so he came up with a weird idea:
"I have never seen this Chinese doctor perform surgery in person. I think we should be cautious when facing a new technology, otherwise it will slap our WGO in the face. I suggest waiting for relevant papers to be published and endoscopic surgery to be promoted and proven to be effective.
After that, it won’t be too late to let this Chinese doctor join the board of directors.”
The next WGO general meeting will be in 5 years. Kim Pu-ze means to wait until 5 years later.
This proposal also attracted the approval of senior executives who are not on the WGO Board of Directors. It is indeed not prudent to want to become a director based on an inconclusive new technology.
But this proposal did not satisfy Reiss.
As the president of WGO, he clearly knows the importance of endoscopic surgery to gastroenterology, so he is eager to promote it.
If we promote it as early as possible, we can relieve the pain caused by the disease. How many lives can be saved?
Medical technology is changing rapidly, how many five years can we wait for?
Therefore, Professor Grace decided to be willful and use his power as the president of the WGO Society to promote the promotion of endoscopic surgery and help Chen Qi to become the leader.
"Well, I have a suggestion. Now everyone's doubts and focus are that they haven't seen Dr. Chen Qi's endoscopic surgery with their own eyes, so they can't confirm the authenticity of the surgery. I can understand this.
To be continued...
