Chapter 349: Selling Your Own Surgery
Professor Wu thought about it for a moment:
"I'm sorry, but if you're going to see a doctor in hepatobiliary surgery or digestive surgery, I know a lot, but hand surgery is so unpopular that I don't know anyone I remember."
Cleft lip and palate Surgery Society, Hand Surgery Society, etc., although they are also second-level medical associations, the level is not low and quite high, but it does not change the fact that they are unpopular professions.
For example, there are more than 20,000 doctors in the member of the International Society of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery. And the Cleft Lip and Palate Surgery Society has only more than 2,000 members in the world, and this is the difference.
Hand surgery is better than cleft lip and palate surgery, but it wasn't much better in 1985 and currently has just over 3,000 members.
It is a very unpopular major, because it is unpopular, too professional and technical, involves too few parts of the human body, and does not need to cooperate with other specialties, so there is little communication between various disciplines.
When Chen Qi heard that Professor Wu had no way, he began to worry again, did he let him break into the door by himself, and then recommend himself?
Professor Wu smiled:
「你问我呀那是白问,但你不要忘了你自己所在的ICPF学会的会长,或者其他理事有这方面的门路,你真是菩萨拜错了庙门。」
When Chen Qi heard this, he slapped his thigh excitedly: "Yes, why did I forget about them?"
Professor Wu nodded with his hand: "I don't think you put yourself in the right place, it seems that your mind is not on the ICPF Society."
Chen Qi thought to himself: You guessed it, my mind is in the IHPBA International Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery Society~~~
After asking the head of the delegation for a leave, Chen Qi ran to the room of Professor Dewey, the president of the ICPF Society.
At the same time, the president of the FSSH International Society for Hand Surgery, Professor Stevenson from the mold country, and the directors of the society are worried.
Stevenson: "Hi guys, the day after tomorrow it will be our turn to present the academic results of the past two years in hand surgery, tell me, what new methods of hand surgery have been creative and revolutionary in the past two years?"
Several vice presidents and directors in the room looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
The scope of treatment in hand surgery is actually very limited, anyway, it is only two hands, including hand trauma, infection, tumors, congenital malformations, etc.
Because there are few diseases that can be treated, and there are not many topics that can be studied, most hospitals around the world tend to have no separation between hand surgery and general surgery.
It is only in large hospitals in developed countries or developing countries that hand surgery is carried out, and some are also called "hand and foot surgery", which also includes the feet.
This raises the problem that breakthrough technological innovations in hand surgery are rare, and amputated limb transplantation is considered the most technical.
Professor Sherwood said, "I wrote a paper last year on the diagnosis and treatment of malignant melanoma under the fingernails, do you think I could use it?"
Professor Ai Wen on the side smiled: "Melanoma, we can't do skin surgery, or tumor surgery, people are the ones who play this professionally."
Several people in the room nodded one after another, and the hand surgery department said "cut" for malignant tumors, that is, amputation.
This simple and crude treatment is often laughed at by other doctors.
If it is taken out to give a keynote speech at the World Society of Foreign Sciences, it will not be laughed off by other peers.
"What then?"
"Let's think again......
While the professors of hand surgery were silent, the internal phone in the room rang.
Professor Stevenson picked up the phone and heard the voice of his old friend, Professor Dewey, president of the ICPF Institute and his colleague at the Mayo Clinic, over the microphone.
"Stevenson, I have a very unbelievable thing to tell you, our ICPF director, Dr. Chen Qi from Huaguo, has a paper on your hand surgery and wants you to read it."
Professor Stevenson was a little stunned when he heard this:
"Hey, you old boy, are you asking me out for a drink? Don't be funny, we're in a meeting now, you I
The CPF already has a topic for the presentation, and we at FSSH don't want to lose face, so we need to find the best papers."
"No, no, no, Stevenson, listen to me, if you read Chen's paper, I'm sure you'll know that the topic of your speech this year is here, and it's definitely a revolutionary new technology."
Listening to Dewey's seriousness, Stevenson was also a little confused:
"Are you saying that the doctors who did your plastic surgery actually invented a new form of hand surgery, or is it a revolutionary procedure? How is this possible? Aren't you just talking, when will you be able to do it?"
"Haha, Stevenson, you were wrong this time, as long as this paper is in hand, you will know how wrong you are, no way, our ICPF surgeons are too awesome, even your hand surgery can be easily won."
"Okay, don't be kidding, what kind of revolutionary operation did the Huaguo doctor you are talking about? Otherwise, I don't have time to pay attention to your ICPF bullshit."
"OK, I'll let Dr. Chan tell you personally."
The microphone was apparently picked up by another person at this time, and a young voice came after a while:
"Hello Professor Stevenson, I'm Chen Qi from Huaguo, and I have just completed a paraphantom allograft surgery in China, and I believe you will be interested in this operation."
Stevenson's eyes blinked, a little confused.
"Hello Chen, I don't seem to hear clearly, what kind of foster care surgery are you doing?"
"I'm sorry Professor, it's a new term, let me explain it this way, I had a patient who had a severed palm due to trauma, but his arm was too badly injured to be replanted right away, so I fostered this severed palm in his leg.
After 2 months, when my arm was almost recovered, I cut off the severed palm from the leg and transplanted it to the arm, which is my newly invented "amputated palm allograft replantation surgery", I have checked the literature and there is no precedent for similar surgery in the world, I think I should be the first case, right?"
「ha?」
Stevenson couldn't believe his ears, and the words he shouted were broken, which also attracted the attention of everyone in the room, and they all looked over.
Stevenson swapped the earpiece for an ear, then looked at his hands and legs and asked:
"Dr. Chan, you mean that you took your severed palm to your leg? And then 2 months later, I will put it back on my arm?"
"Yes, Mr. Professor."
"Fake, how did you do that? The surgery was successful?"
"It worked, now the patient is recovering, nothing else, he will be able to move in 2 weeks."
Chen Qi replied simply, but he couldn't fix Stevenson, and he didn't speak for a long time, and his brain was a little confused
