Chapter 542 Professor Zhang from Zhongshan Hospital(1/2)
In the following days, because the reflux was under control, the esophagus and various organs were no longer corroded by gastric contents, coupled with the use of various drugs.
(There is a warehouse of imported medicines in Chen Qi’s space. Of course, they must be used at critical moments.)
Wu Agou's condition was quickly brought under control, and his cardiac cardia was repaired. This is a "fundamental cure". Coupled with the "temporary treatment" of internal medicine, the patient recovered faster and faster.
Within half a month, Wu Agou gained a full 5kg in weight and finally fully recovered and was discharged from the hospital.
On the day he was discharged from the hospital, the Wu family set off a truckload of firecrackers at the entrance of the hospital, and also gave Chen Qi a huge banner, which was a great honor to Chen Qi.
Before leaving, Wu Agou held Chen Qi's hand tightly, which brought a lot of tears and runny nose.
I originally thought it would be a fatal outcome, but unexpectedly, in an unexpected turn of events, I was cured through a minor operation (common people think that not having a dissection is a minor operation).
From now on, I can regain my health and save someone's life. Is there anything more grateful than escaping from death?
"Dean Chen, thank you. I really can't express my gratitude in words."
Chen Qi was already smiling from ear to ear while holding the banner:
"Uncle Agou, thank you. There is no need for our two families to say polite words. In the future, we will move around more and don't break this friendship."
"Hahaha, okay, okay, let's move around more in the future."
The Wu family has also been in business for many years and has a Poussin at home. Chen Qi and Lan Lijuan personally walked to the door of the hospital and waved goodbye.
Looking at the Wu family leaving in the distance, Chen Qi had to sigh:
"Look, doing more good deeds and helping others is a sign of good deeds. God will bless you at critical moments. We should learn more from him."

Lan Lijuan nodded: "Our family is not bad. We have already supported 20 poor students. How about we donate to another school?"
Chen Qi shook his head when he heard it:
"It's okay to donate to the school. If you want to donate, you should also donate to the hospital. After all, we are members of the health system. However, although doing so will gain reputation and virtue, it will have endless consequences. All kinds of people will come to ask for donations.
I can't bear to be so upset."
It is too difficult to do charity in the country.
If you are more high-profile, you will be criticized as a show, with ulterior motives and ulterior motives.
If you keep a low profile and are called a fool, what are you trying to do? Is there something wrong with your brain? How about donating some of your money to me?
If you dare to donate a school today, tomorrow someone will ask you to donate a hospital, a nursing home, a few cars to some agencies, money to some infrastructure, etc.
After all, in the 1980s, there were so few people who were willing to donate money, so it was not easy to catch someone who didn’t even try hard enough to plunder the wool, just like Ge You.
The key is the money you donate, in the end...
Think about that man in coat in later generations.
Forget it, charity is too deep for Chen Qilan and Lijuan to play with it.
"Okay, okay, stop sighing and go back to work."
"Okay, you arrange a time to come out and make an announcement, and I will tell everyone what minimally invasive surgery is."
"As you command, Mr. Dean~~~"
Chen Qi thought that the endoscopic gastric plication performed at the Vietnam-China People's Hospital only caused a sensation within the hospital, but what he didn't expect was that it would quickly spread throughout the province and even the country.
The impact it has brought and the shock it has brought to colleagues are truly unparalleled.
Endoscopy is nothing new abroad.
Back then, when the Qing Dynasty had not yet fallen, and the common people still wore pigtails and called themselves slaves, Europeans had already invented the endoscope and applied it in medicine.
Of course, the development of endoscopy in foreign countries has been relatively slow for a long time, and it is only used for inspection.
We had to wait until 1983 for the invention of the electronic endoscope, which was a miniature image sensor that replaced the optical fiber image transmission bundle and converted photoelectric signals through photoelectric coupling devices.
Finally, the image is displayed on the monitor, and auxiliary devices can also be equipped for information input and diagnostic processing tools, etc.
With the invention of electronic endoscopy, doctors discovered that we can not only perform examinations through endoscopy, but also perform various minor surgeries through endoscopy.
That’s when the subject of endoscopy began to really be taken seriously.
Foreign countries began to play with endoscopic diagnosis and treatment technology in 1983, and it has been developed for 6 years in 1988. Technological innovation and the development of various surgical procedures can be said to be changing with each passing day.
In the history of China, it was not until the 1990s that minimally invasive surgery was introduced, including laparoscopic surgery and endoscopic surgery, which also started at this time.
But before that, many insightful people in China have realized that "minimally invasive surgery" may change surgical procedures and may occupy a dominant position in the future.
It is a pity that such doctors and experts are very few.
Most doctors are still entangled in trivial matters such as professional title recruitment, welfare room allocation, and overtime subsidies, and cannot develop technology with peace of mind.
Professor Zhang Weizhong of Oriental Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital is one of the few doctors in China who has vision and foresight.
He is one of the very few doctors who had the opportunity to study abroad in the 1980s, and he has already experienced endoscopic surgery abroad.
Unfortunately, endoscopic surgery is not one of the mainstream surgeries abroad. There are not many doctors who can perform it. In addition, the instruments are expensive and are not easily accessible to outsiders.
Therefore, as a trainee doctor, Zhang Weizhong did not have the opportunity to practice endoscopic surgery himself. At most, he only had to start with it.
But he could never forget the first time he saw endoscopic surgery, which was a resection of early-stage gastric cancer. The entire process did not require surgery and was easily performed with just a tube.
From that day on, Professor Zhang became very interested in this kind of minimally invasive surgery with less trauma, less bleeding and faster recovery.
After returning to China for further studies, he also strongly advocated that his Zhongshan Hospital could introduce endoscopic technology, establish the first endoscopic center in China, and become a new technology pioneer leading the trend.
Unfortunately, in the 1980s, not only grassroots hospitals were facing financial difficulties, but even top hospitals such as Zhongshan, Ruijin, and Huashan were also facing survival problems.
After all, we are poor in this era. Unlike later generations, patients all over the country go to these hospitals. Top hospitals have no shortage of patients and money.
In the 1980s, the top hospitals in Shanghai mainly served local people or surrounding counties and cities. The sources of disease were limited, and the money in people's pockets was also limited.
But there are so many top hospitals in Shanghai and Shanghai, and Zhongshan Hospital is not a monopoly and has no money.
Therefore, Professor Zhang has called for the introduction of endoscopic technology for many years, but it has not been completely successful, or it has been half successful.
The "Gastroenteroscopy Center" of Zhongshan Hospital was indeed established, and Professor Zhang became the director of the center. However, the old-fashioned instruments were still used, mainly for examination and did not involve endoscopic surgery.
This has also become a worry for Professor Zhang Weizhong.
He is unwilling to give in and is always paying attention to the news about minimally invasive surgery at home and abroad, always thinking about how to find a breakthrough.
I went to work today. It was still very cold in Shanghai in December.
As a southern seaside city, the cold and dampness is like a magic attack. No matter how thickly people wear their clothes, the cold wind can penetrate through layers of fabrics, making the cold deep into the bones.
Professor Zhang ran into the "Gastroenteroscopy Center" at a trot. Today is his day to attend the outpatient clinic.
After entering the door, my whole body trembled a few times and she complained: "Mom, it's so cold today, I'm so cold."
Zhang Weizhong's job is as a surgeon. After establishing the Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Center, just when he was about to start a big business and become the "Father of Endoscopy" in China, reality gave him a blow in the head.
One is that my skills are not good, there are almost no endoscopic talents in China, and doctors who go abroad are unwilling to return home.
Another is that all types of endoscopic instruments, especially endoscopic equipment that can perform surgery, all need to be imported. If someone has a monopoly on your technology, the price can only be described as sky-high, which can easily reach hundreds of thousands of dollars.
If according to the standards of the first endoscopic center in China, which can carry out clinical work, the training fee for the complete set of equipment and operating room will be at least several million US dollars.
Pay attention to this "training fee", it's really a scam. They are just bullying you because no one in your country knows how to operate it, so they will send a few foreign doctors to teach you.
And the training fee is sky-high. It costs thousands of dollars a day. If you don’t get more than 100,000 or 200,000 dollars for this month’s training, you won’t be able to afford it.
For poor domestic hospitals in the 1980s, they were reluctant to spend hundreds of thousands of RMB, let alone precious foreign exchange?
Therefore, the "Endoscopy Center" advocated by Professor Zhang is still under construction. Once built, it has become one of the many auxiliary departments, on the same level as the X-ray room and B-ultrasound room.
Instead of calling it an endoscopy center, it’s better to call it an “endoscopy room”
Who would have thought that such a top doctor who graduated from a prestigious domestic university and studied abroad would be performing gastroscopy and colonoscopy on patients after returning to China.
Those who fall behind will be beaten, even in medicine!
As soon as he entered the office, Professor Zhang saw many young doctors sitting around, seemingly arguing fiercely.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible."
"Yeah, what kind of international joke are you kidding? You can actually perform such a complicated surgery with a gastroscope?"
"I don't believe it either. You're saying that it's possible for American doctors to do it. A small grassroots hospital can do this kind of fundoplication surgery and put in satellites."
Professor Zhang put down his coat and asked while putting on his work clothes:
"What's wrong? There was a noise early in the morning. Which hospital is launching satellites?"
When everyone saw Professor Zhang coming, they gathered around as if they had found the backbone. The young doctor Shen Jianming held a piece of scrap paper and said excitedly:
"Professor Zhang, tell me, can this kind of fundoplication be completed through gastroscopy?"
"Oh, let me take a look," Professor Zhang took the draft paper and looked at the sketch on it and asked:
"Is this the esophagus? Then the stomach here is folded in reverse and sewn together with the esophageal wall? No, why is this esophagus so long?"
"Professor Zhang, this operation also extended the abdominal esophagus."
Zhang Weizhong didn't care at first, but the more he listened, the more surprised he became: "Are you saying that a doctor in our country has already performed such an operation using an endoscope?"
Yu Guanqun, a young doctor next to him, said anxiously:
