May 15th.
A delegation from Hong Kong Margaret Hospital officially visited Viet Chau Hospital.
At this time, Margaret Hospital was very impressive, although its comprehensive strength was still far behind the world's top hospitals.
However, in departments such as gastroenterology, respiratory medicine, urology, endocrinology, pediatrics, and dermatology, the hospital is already at the world's leading level.
At least within Asia, entering the top 10 is definitely not a problem.
In Hong Kong, it firmly holds the number one spot, and the Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital is far behind.
It was other hospitals that initially poached Margaret Hospital’s staff, but now it’s finally their turn to poach all the famous doctors in Hong Kong.
Moreover, when Margaret Hospital was first established, its department settings, rules and regulations, diagnosis and treatment procedures, etc. were all copied from the European and American hospital models, making it more integrated into the mainstream international medical community.
It is located in the free port of Hong Kong, so its external exchanges are very frequent and its influence is growing day by day.
Under the leadership of President Li Zhibai, Margaret Hospital is showing signs of becoming a world-class hospital, and the outside world believes that it is only a matter of time.
The fact that such a hospital took the initiative to visit China and was willing to establish a "sister hospital" relationship with a hospital in the mainland was a shock to the mainland medical community.
Many hospitals are envious and their eyes are red.
It’s not that there are no hospitals that want to poach Yuezhou Hospital. For example, several large hospitals in the capital and Shanghai feel that they are more suitable for cooperation. After all, they are all national hospitals.
But Hong Kong was determined to cooperate with Yuezhou Hospital, which made a group of medical leaders say they were confused.
Not only do they have to cooperate, but they also have to take the initiative to provide medical care, medicine, and training. This is like being a "real mother", how can they still be "sisters"?
Of course, the top leaders knew who was behind the Margaret Hospital, so they were optimistic about it and threw all the reports into the trash.
Because Hong Kong had not yet returned, with the help of GlaxoSmithKline, the British Hong Kong government sent a visiting delegation to the mainland headed by the Director of Health, Don Henry.
It was already 1988, and Hong Kong's return to China was a top national priority. The Chinese government naturally attached great importance to the visit of Hong Kong medical professionals to the mainland.
Deputy Minister of Health Zou Duohong came to Yuezhou in person. At the same time, President Ma Jianlong of Zhijiang Medical University, Yang Hao, a senior official of Zhijiang Province, Cao Liman, Director of the Provincial Health Department, and other officials of all ranks gathered in Yuezhou.
Chen Xia was originally a low-key person, but this time in order to make Yuezhou Hospital famous, he created a lot of publicity.
For example, in the hospital's outpatient hall, there are large busts of Ren Yuanfei, Xuan Yongda, Feng Runguang, Liu Shumei, Ma Changren, and Xu Jincheng hanging on one wall.
Everyone in the photo is wearing new work clothes, a tie and gold-rimmed glasses, with a smile on their face, looking like a great man and very authoritative.
The key points below include who is an internationally renowned medical scientist, who is the Chinese head of an international key laboratory, who is the inventor of such-and-such therapy, who has published so-and-so papers in The Lancet, etc.
Since bragging doesn't require any tax, of course you should exaggerate.
Those patients are most susceptible to this. They take a look at the introduction and then compare it with the specialties of other hospitals such as Union Hospital, West China Hospital, and Ruijin Hospital.
One is a domestic bully, the other is an international bully, the difference is obvious.
Do you think Chen Xia is finished?
Of course not. On another wall in the outpatient hall, he also hung photos and profiles of 19 doctors who were training at the Mayo Clinic.
Their specialties are also highlighted.
For example, Wu Shaochen's specialty is gastritis, gastric ulcer and gastric cancer, Xie Liping's specialty is hepatobiliary surgery, Gao Li's specialty is general surgery, Guo Musen's specialty is infectious diseases, with a focus on tuberculosis, and so on.
What? Chinese people don’t know what the Mayo Clinic is?
Just publicize it in newspapers, radio and television. Just tell the people that this is the best hospital ranked number one in the world.
Just like when everyone hears “Mount Everest”, everyone knows it’s the number one in the world, but no one cares who’s second.
(If you say you know the second one is from Qogir, be careful of the author's eye roll)
Chen Xia is now troubled by the fact that the outpatient and inpatient buildings of the People's Hospital are too dilapidated, otherwise he could come up with all kinds of tricks in minutes.
Today is the day when doctors from China and Hong Kong provide free medical consultations.
Yes, it’s a free clinic. Chen Xia changed his clothes, got his work ID, and hung up his photo, all for this day.
It is said that monks from outside are better at chanting sutras. This time, Yuezhou Hospital invited doctors from Hong Kong to participate in a week-long free clinic, which caused a sensation across the country.
It is already 1988, and there are more wealthy people. Now patients all over the country know that Yuezhou Hospital has such an international free clinic and that all the doctors invited are foreign doctors. How can this be tolerated?
(Foreigners who came to Vietnam State Hospital for training in various laboratories were also brought in to make up the numbers.)
For a time, patients from all over the country flocked to Yuezhou, filling up the hotels and guesthouses around Yuezhou Hospital.
On the day the free clinic began, Chen Xia specifically applied to close the East Street in front of the hospital, then moved all the tables and chairs to the street, and asked all the "foreign doctors" and "mainland doctors" to line up and go to the street for free clinics.
At this time, Chen Xia's good intentions were revealed.
The common people immediately noticed the problem. The experts at Yuezhou Hospital actually had equal status with foreign experts. That's amazing.
In everyone's impression, no matter how high the level of Chinese doctors is, they are still not as good as foreign doctors.
If a foreign doctor comes to "guide" them, Chinese doctors can only stand behind them obediently and learn skills like an apprentice.
It’s not like now, when Chinese doctors sit together with foreign experts, and no matter their dress or the titles on the billboards behind them, the Chinese doctors are no different.
This gave the common people and the patients a psychological hint that the doctors at Yuezhou Hospital were very good.
To give an example, this feeling is like an unknown actor becoming the protagonist, while the supporting roles are all famous Hong Kong movie stars, such as Leslie Cheung, Jackie Chan, Chow Yun-fat, etc.
In the film and television industry, this is called "forced promotion of status," stepping on famous actors to get ahead.
Deputy Minister of Health Zou Duohong and a number of health system leaders were all impressed by this rare "spectacle" and were filled with pride.
After going through so many ups and downs, China's health system finally has a hospital that can stand on equal footing with foreign hospitals, and it can finally hold its head high.
The news media were even more excited. There were more than ten media outlets from the central government and the provincial government, and they all set up their gear and tried their best to interview.
In particular, the scene of doctors from Yuezhou Hospital and foreign doctors sitting together to consult patients became the focus of national media reports in the following days.
For a time, the reputation of Yuezhou Hospital was known to everyone in the country.
This advertising effect cannot be bought with any amount of money.
