Chapter 429: Chapter 0396: Bridge Chapter 429: Chapter 0396: Bridge The fellowship team from Xiehe Hospital quickly adapted due to their thorough preparation. They were studying cases, assisting with surgeries, and attending lectures delivered by Yang Ping just like the common interns.
Song Yun was almost obsessively thorough, afraid to miss any technical detail and carefully noting down every word Yang Ping said during his lectures without blinking an eye at every step of the surgery.
Currently, the comprehensive orthopedics departnt deals with every sub-specialty in orthopedics, mostly handling high-risk and high-difficulty cases that others are unwilling to take.
Song Zimo could handle the relatively simpler surgeries in the departnt, for example, procedures like the twisted ball fold spinal deformity.
Xu Zhiliang also made rapid progress, but he still lagged quite a bit behind Song Zimo. He strived to catch up, hoping to beco as independent as Song Zimo.
Being independent in comprehensive orthopedics is a completely different thing from other departnts. Those who can do it are considered top-tier talents.
To provide more observation opportunities for his colleagues from Xiehe Hospital, Yang Ping perford a larger number of surgeries during this period.
Dean Xia and Director Han were discussing upgrading comprehensive orthopedics to comprehensive surgery and setting up a corresponding surgical research institute.
This approach is unprecedented in big hospitals across the country.
However, in smaller hospitals, township hospitals, and county-level hospitals where departntalization was not very developed, they were divided into internal, external, obstetrics, pediatrics, and otolaryngology. A single surgery departnt would handle everything, from brain surgery, chest surgery, general surgery, to orthopedics. Doctors would perform surgeries from head to toe and handle all kinds of cases.
But the surgeries perford by these grassroots hospitals are limited, and generally are simple procedures. More difficult ones are transferred to higher-level hospitals, so mastering the surgeries is not difficult.
In third-tier teaching hospitals, especially in top-tier hospitals across the country, specialization is required, and with the larger the hospital, the finer the departntal division.
Now, many people oppose the establishnt of a comprehensive surgery departnt in a hospital like Sanbo. They claim it’s absurd and would make people laugh – surgeons from a third-tier teaching hospital performing general surgery is unheard of.
Regardless, Dean Xia ticulously analyzed dical and health laws, regulations, and policy docunts, and believes that there are no obstacles in theory to establish a comprehensive surgery departnt. The key is that the establishnt of the departnt must be aningful.
For a talent like Yang Ping, it is necessary to provide him with an independent, large platform. It may be even necessary to establish a hospital within the hospital, allowing him to fully utilize his talent and only then could talents like him be retained.
In a eting, Dean Xia overrode all objections and fird up this plan. He planned to allocate all eight floors of the comprehensive orthopedics building to Yang Ping for the purpose of comprehensive surgery.
The original orthopedics lab was to be moved out and relocated into a dical building. A lab for comprehensive surgery was to be set up inside its building for Yang Ping.
Yang Ping promised Dean Xia that he would not need a penny from the hospital or the country for research funding, and would raise the funds himself.
However, he needed Dean Xia to establish a legitimate process for receiving donated funds to allow his lab to be eligible for donations.
Because the process for the hospital to accept donations is complicated, Dean Xia would need to streamline the process administratively.
Transforming Sanbo into a top-tier hospital nationwide was what Dean Xia wished for years ago, but he felt overwheld by the task.
Now, the ambition he had when starting the hospital began to burn again. With comprehensive surgery as a foundation, he hoped to lead Sanbo to beco a national industry front-runner.
Dean Xia was brimming with confidence and felt energetic like when he was young.
Yang Ping was incredibly busy as well. Apart from performing surgeries and delivering lectures, he also had nurous scalpel surgeries to handle, invitations from Li Quan Hospital, Malaysia, and Robert as well.
The newly appointed Dean Chen of the Municipal People’s Hospital also approached him several tis, hoping to cooperate with Yang Ping and rebuild the orthopedics departnt of the Municipal People’s Hospital.
The Municipal People’s Hospital was currently a ss, with assets depleted and lacking talents due to high attrition rates over the past years. There was no money left in their account, only debts owed to banks and pharmaceutical manufacturers.
With his hands full, Dean Chen decided to start with orthopedics and step by step, renew the Municipal People’s Hospital.
Seeing Dean Chen’s sincerity, Yang Ping decided to aid him in rebuilding orthopedics without any charge.
After studying Robert’s cases in detail, Yang Ping concluded that they were not too hard.
It was just that Robert’s study duration at Sanbo was too short, and he has yet to grasp the nuances of such surgeries.
He could handle routine multiple ligant reconstruction surgeries of the knee joint for the average person, but for professional athletes whose sports abilities needed to be restored, Robert was not yet up to par.
When he saw Junhao Bao’s na among the cases, he couldn’t help but smile. Junhao brimd with arrogance, showing extre disrespect, showing off the mont he stepped into the United States. Not even out of the country yet, he started acting high and mighty.
After going around in circles and countless setbacks, they ended up requesting his surgical services. The world was indeed too small.
Though the surgery needed to be perford, an apology from the Bao Family was an absolute must. They could not be allowed to keep misbehaving.
Yang Ping tasked Little Five with coordinating these matters while he decided to take a trip to the United States. If possible, he would bring so people along for the trip to broaden their horizons.
——
After several exchanges of emails, Yang Ping’s trip to the United States to perform surgery was finally confird.
For Robert, this was a big deal, as it signified that he would establish a channel of communication with Yang Ping.
Once this bridge was successfully built, he would quickly learn Yang Ping’s complex shoulder and knee ligant reconstruction techniques, even for more complicated surgeries.
Robert rushed to apply for a temporary surgical license for Yang Ping. The application for such a license in the United States was strict, but for Robert, this was not an issue.
It was the first ti his ntor was invited to Arica, and Robert would ticulously arrange for his reception.
The surgeries, all five of them, were scheduled to take place at the Specialized Surgical Hospital in New York. Despite his own clinic being equipped with advanced facilities, only the Specialized Surgical Hospital in New York seed fitting to invite his ntor for the first ti.
The welcoming ceremony must be Chinese-style. He repeatedly insisted with the hospital administration departnt, it must be Chinese-style.
Robert looked at the banner template on his office desk, utterly satisfied: “Welco Dr. Yang Ping to instruct surgeries”.
“This company specializes in Chinese-style wedding planning, and has a high reputation in New York’s Chinatown. They say this is the most Chinese way to welco soone. If you agree, they will write it according to this template. The person who will do the calligraphy is an old gentleman, many of the Chinese New Year decorations on Chinatown co from his hand.” Barel was very confident in his arrangents.
“Very excellent, did you tell them? Write it with a brush-like pen, on red paper, with black characters, a big brush pen.” Robert was very satisfied with Barel’s performance, the previous lady from the administration departnt was terrible. He explained to her for ages but she was utterly clueless.
“I’ve already told them, it is that kind of ancient brush, the one with a bundle of hair.” Barel opened the event planning booklet, pointed and showed Robert.
“Yes, just like that.” Robert looked at the photo in the album.
“The cheerleaders that day will wear cheongsams and hold a cheongsam flash mob event, but should the event location be at the airport or at the hospital entrance?” Barel needed Robert to decide.
“At the hospital entrance, are the cheering personnel confird?” Robert cared about the details.
Barel nodded: “Per your instructions, to show our sincerity, we’ll use our own people. We’ve pulled in all the secretaries from the Orthopedics Departnt, as well as the nurses, to form the welcoming committee.”
“Very good, you are indeed my most capable assistant Barel, you know? I’ve been to China, and saw the way they welco important people. It is just like this, long banners written with welcoming words, and young boys and girls standing on both sides holding fresh flowers, shouting ‘welco! welco!’. You’ve found the right event planner this ti.”
Robert was so excited that he began pacing around the room.
“We need to create the atmosphere of China. Barel, after the surgery, Dr. Yang is going to visit our clinic. We need to hang red Chinese knots in our clinic, and also, we need to paste the Chinese character ‘Fu’ on our doors.”
Robert beca more and more excited. Barel seed to feel it was inappropriate: “Those decorations are only used during the Chinese New Year.”
“We need to decorate it like the Chinese New Year. Our ntor will definitely like it.”
“The hotel, the chefs, all have been booked in advance——”
“What else? What else? Let think.” Robert rubbed his hands together, gesticulating with enthusiasm.
Unable to think of anything else for the ti being, Robert opened the surgical instrunt case again. This was a set of instrunts designed by Yang Ping.
“What’s the use of this flexible drill?” Barel could not understand the purpose of these instrunts.
This flexible drill, the connecting rod of the drill head is a spring, which can change direction.
“Dr. Yang should be planning to perform a curve segnted drilling.” Robert understood the mystery behind it.
Barel did not understand the significance of curve segnted drilling. Robert walked over to the office desk and drew it for him on paper.
“Drill out from the femoral condyle inside the knee joint, the back of the condyle, exit from the section below the epiphyseal line, then follow the arc, cross the epiphyseal line, again from the section above the epiphyseal line, enter from the lower section of the femur, the two tunnels break off at the plane of the epiphysis, if we extend the line, they are on an arc.”
Finally, Barel understood why Robert regarded this Chinese man as his ntor.
This type of surgery technique ingeniously conceived can solve the difficult problem of reconstructing the anterior and posterior cruciate ligants in children. It is much more advanced compared to the current suspensory fixation procedure.
“Also, the ntor will send two nurses here for an exchange. You need to communicate with the Nursing Departnt, they must be well arranged. Tell them, these are the people sent by the ntor I respect.”
Robert reminded Barel, in the Specialized Surgical Hospital in New York, clinical doctors, especially the consulting doctors, have absolute authority, and the administration departnt is only a servicer.
He had to build this bridge well. If Dr. Yang was satisfied, their communication would be unimpeded.
Dr. Yang’s surgeries are a goldmine in dical techniques, Robert had seen it with his own eyes.
