Chapter 397 New York
Yang Ping took the time to complete a batch of surgeries in all hospitals, and went to Gleneagles Hospital in Malaysia to perform eight surgeries.
Considering that Yang Ping had just cooperated with Gleneagles Hospital, Lin Mingyuan rushed from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to accompany him.
Director Zhu was also with me throughout the whole process. Director Zhu is now working in Southeast Asia for a long time. His wife and children have been sent to Singapore and their children are also studying in Singapore.
After completing these operations, the visa to the United States was also processed. During the visa interview, someone from the U.S. Embassy saw that the reason for the application was to go to the United States to supervise surgery and thought it was wrong. They confirmed again and again before believing that there was no mistake.
Boss Cheng and Huang Jiacai heard that Yang Ping went to the United States to fly knives, and they also applied for visas together. They both said they would go on an inspection together. Mr. Cheng went to inspect the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, and Mr. Huang took a look at the conditions of the equipment vendors there.
Xiao Su helped Yang Ping pack her suitcase, explained the precautions for going abroad, and told Yang Ping that if she encounters any difficulties there, she must tell her as soon as possible. Her uncle has many friends there who can help.
It's just a surgery. No matter what difficulties you encounter, it's just a single-line operation in a hospital or hotel.
What's more, with two bosses, Mr. Huang is a good person. Mr. Cheng said that he has a cousin in the United States. Anyway, he has a cousin everywhere. Last time in Malaysia, he really had a cousin.
After more than thirty hours of flying and several transfers, the three of us chatted to pass the time.
Yang Ping would sleep when he was tired, perform surgeries and experiments in the system space, and otherwise think about some problems in there.
Unfortunately, the system space does not occupy real time and cannot be used to kill time.
Yang Ping sorted out the ideas of scientific research. All current technical routes for cultivating organs from stem cells use 3D printing. This technology actually uses stem cells to cultivate cells that can form organs, and then uses these cells to make materials and print them with a 3D printer. Outline the shape of fine organs.
The current bottleneck of this technology is that it cannot be too large, and it cannot grow and develop normally. It will collapse at a certain level, which is why it cannot be used for organ transplantation at present.
If we want to achieve a breakthrough, this passive cell combination technology route will not work.
To realize the self-division and development of stem cells, it is also induced cultivation. Stem cells are actually used to cultivate organs instead of printing them. Only in this way can the organs meet the conditions for actual transplantation.
The plane crossed the Pacific Ocean, from the West Coast to the East Coast, passed through Shanghai and Los Angeles several times, and finally landed at New York Newark International Airport.
When they arrived in New York, it was around seven in the morning. Yang Ping and the other two dragged their suitcases and followed the route markers out of the airport.
Huang Jiacai never went to college and taught himself English. His proficiency was no worse than Professor Cheng.
Robert led several assistants and waited at the airport terminal exit early, holding a Chinese welcome sign.
From a distance, in the crowd, Robert recognized Yang Ping, waved and shouted.
"That's Dr. Yang!" Robert held up the welcome sign and introduced excitedly to the others in Barrell.
Robert and others were all wearing the same red T-shirt, and his face was as red as boiled shrimp because of excitement. There were Chinese characters "Welcome Yang Ping" on the front and back of the T-shirt, and Yang Ping quickly recognized him.
"Welcome, Dr. Yang, welcome." Robert rushed forward and prepared to hug. Halfway through, he stretched out his hand and gave Yang Ping a powerful handshake.
Yang Ping looked closely and saw that the calligraphy characters on Robert's clothes were pretty good.
Yang Ping introduced Mr. Huang and Mr. Cheng to Robert, saying that they were his friends and came to inspect this time.
Surrounded by several assistants, Robert took Yang Ping into the car. Robert acted as the driver himself and took Yang Ping to the hotel and settled him down.
The Mark New York Hotel is located in the Upper East Side like the Hospital for Special Surgery. It is the best hotel in the area and is convenient for Yang Ping to go to the hospital. After breakfast, Robert took Yang Ping to visit the hospital.
"Welcome Dr. Yang Ping to come and guide the surgery" - a red banner hung at the gate of the main building of the hospital.
Some young doctors were holding flowers in their hands and standing on both sides. When they saw Yang Ping coming, they immediately shouted welcome, causing some patients to come around and watch the fun. Americans are very similar to Chinese people in that they love to watch the fun.
Soon, the energetic cheongsam pop-up event began. The cheongsam cheerleading team composed of secretaries and nurses held folding fans and danced gracefully to the sound of guzheng, which had a bit of ancient charm.
The sudden flash of cheongsam made Yang Ping dizzy. Without saying hello in advance, a group of foreign girls wearing cheongsam suddenly rushed out and blocked the front. He thought he was going to do something.
Everything is fine, except that the American girl is wearing a cheongsam, which is a bit awkward. One of the Asian faces is much more harmonious.
"Dr. Yang. Please!" Robert was beaming. From Yang Ping's surprised eyes, Robert confirmed that his welcome ceremony was a success.
Walking through the corridors of the hall, under the curious eyes of onlookers, Robert led Yang Ping and the others to begin a formal tour of the New York Hospital for Special Surgery.
This is a place of pilgrimage for orthopedic surgeons all over the world, and it is the number one orthopedic hospital in the world.
This ancient orthopedic hospital has only 255 beds, but has 35 operating rooms, 10 MRI and 60 X-ray machines, and 95 orthopedic surgeons.
Every year, more than 30,000 orthopedic surgeries, more than 10,000 joint replacement surgeries, and more than 10,000 sports medicine surgeries are performed.
The late "Father of Artificial Knee Replacement" John N. Insall was a doctor in this hospital. Therefore, this hospital is the birthplace of modern knee replacement technology.
In addition to John N. Insall, there are many internationally famous masters, such as Peter Walker, Chitranjan S. Ranawat, John Marshall, etc. Many professors are the primary designers of artificial joint replacement devices currently in use.
The HSS knee joint scoring standard, which is now the most widely used in the world, was also formulated by doctors from this hospital.
Many doctors are also team doctors for famous teams and competitions, such as the NBA New York Knicks Basketball Team, New Jersey Nets, NHL New York Rangers, US Open Tennis Team, US Davis Cup Tennis Team and the US Olympic Games.
These doctors are very curious about knowledge. They were very curious when they heard that Professor Robert from the Department of Sports Medicine invited his mentor to perform the surgery. They knew that Professor Robert had recently launched a new surgery to solve the problem of multiple ligament ruptures in the knee joint. This new surgery He learned the technique from his mentor.
I had never heard that Robert had a mentor outside. Everyone took the time to come and see how sacred the mentor was.
Now it seems that this young Asian is actually the mentor that Robert admires, and everyone is a little confused.
Visiting the outpatient and inpatient wards, and then to the operating room, Robert enthusiastically introduced in detail the situation of the hospital and some of the new surgeries currently being performed.
Two Chinese doctors in advanced training were arranged to accompany him, one from Jishuitan and one from Xiangya.
Entering the operating room, the hand scrubbing gown that Robert brought to Yang Ping was blue. In this hospital, only the doctors in this hospital wore blue scrubbing gowns.
All training doctors and foreign visitors wear bright purple scrubs to strictly distinguish them from the doctors of our hospital. We remind the doctors of our hospital at any time: "Be careful with him, his aseptic concepts and operations may not be up to standard."
Thirty-five operating rooms, except one for routine maintenance, are all undergoing operations, including knee replacement, hip replacement, shoulder arthroscopy, knee arthroscopy, etc.
A knee replacement was being performed, and it was not convenient for too many people to go in. Robert invited Yang Ping to go in, but Yang Ping proposed to just look outside the door.
A plexiglass shield hanging from the ceiling isolates the surgical area from the surroundings. Inside the shield, surgeons wearing "space suits" are busy.
Outside the shield, circulating nurses and anesthesiologists are also busy.
There is a thirty centimeter gap between the shield and the ground to facilitate laminar flow.
With the protection of the shield, outside tours and visitors don’t have to worry about touching the surgical area, making the entire surgery much safer.
The innermost part of the operating room is the instrument room and sterilization room. Various orthopedic instruments and various joint prostheses are stored in the instrument room and can be used at any time.
During the ongoing artificial knee replacement surgery, there was also an engineer from the manufacturer following the stage. These engineers need to undergo at least half a year of training on operating room sterility knowledge and obtain a certificate before they are allowed to enter the operating room.
The surgeon is an internationally renowned master of joint replacement. At this time, he is using navigation technology to perform osteotomy.
"Professor Jung, I really don't have time today, otherwise I would go to the door to welcome you. He was very happy to hear that Dr. Yang was coming and wanted to discuss joint replacement technology with you." Robert went to Sanbo for a week and saw Yang Ping Perform various orthopedic surgeries.
Someone may have told Professor Jung that there were visitors outside. Jung, who was looking at the navigation screen, turned to look at the door and made a gesture to his chest.
"Let's go over there and take a look at the knee arthroscopic surgery and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction." Robert invited. This was exactly what Corey was doing.
After watching the knee arthroscopy surgery, Robert took Yang Ping to an operating room that was being repaired.
"This will be the place where Dr. Yang performs the surgery. To ensure safety, an overhaul will be carried out." Robert was very well prepared.
