On March 18, 1987, half a month later than expected, Chen Xia and his team finally set foot on the land of the United States.
Then the Mayo Clinic's shuttle bus arrived, and all 20 doctors from Hong Kong Margaret Hospital were arranged into the staff apartments.
Two people in a room with a private bathroom, this is truly VIP treatment.
You have to know that when doctors from other countries come to study, Mayo not only has to be selective, but also has to arrange all their food and accommodation.
Renting a house next to Mayo is no joke. The hospital has tens of thousands of employees, plus a large number of interns. This is a huge rental market.
The Mayo Clinic is located in Rochester, Minnesota.
The town is not big, so you can imagine the availability of houses for rent. The prices are quite expensive, so expensive that one month's rent is equivalent to several years' salary of a Chinese doctor.
Mayo Clinic Vice Chairman Steve Childs personally received the guests at the Rochester headquarters.
A big shot like him was mainly here to receive two big shots from Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical Company, Chen Xia and Chen Shuqin.
Several inhaled drugs and anti-allergy drugs invented by Pumpkin Vine Company have undergone preliminary clinical trials at the Mayo Clinic, and the results are simply amazing.
According to the Mayo Clinic's three-month follow-up study, the efficacy of these new drugs has increased several times compared to the original treatment plan, but the side effects have decreased exponentially.
For example, hormonal drugs are most likely to cause the side effect of Cushing's reaction, but this does not occur in inhalation therapy.
Of course, some doctors also suspect that this is related to the short observation time, but compared to intravenous drips, if you take hormones for three to five days, you will immediately gain a few pounds.
Similarly, in the field of anti-allergic drugs, the first-generation antihistamines are currently used clinically, including chlorpheniramine, promethazine, ketotifen and other drugs.
These drugs are not very effective against allergic diseases and have poor receptor selectivity
There are quite a few side effects. The mildest ones include sedation and drowsiness, while the more serious ones can easily cause urinary retention, arrhythmia, orthostatic hypotension, bradycardia, mydriasis and other symptoms.
Well, now the second-generation antihistamines produced by Pumpkin Vine Company are more effective and have fewer side effects.
This kind of medicine is very popular among both dermatologists and respiratory doctors.
What makes the Mayo Clinic different from other hospitals is that when they get a drug, they don't just believe the instructions.
Anyway, their hospital laboratories are the most powerful in the world, and they will analyze the drug ingredients, how the drugs work, what side effects they have, etc.
If there are defective drugs, they will basically not be able to pass this extremely rigorous research and analysis.
But what is Chen Xia afraid of?
These medicines are classic medicines that have been tested for decades. How could there be any big problems?
True gold fears no fire.
Besides, these are only second-generation drugs. Zheng Haisheng and his team have already reverse-engineered the third-generation drugs and are just waiting for the right opportunity to apply for a patent.
If the Mayo Clinic's previous enthusiasm for clinical trials was entirely due to the push of Pfizer, then now the Mayo Clinic has completely convinced and sincerely wants the drug to enter the clinic as soon as possible.
So when Chen Xia and his team arrived, the attitudes of Mayo's doctors and senior management became much more sincere.
In addition to some senior executives of Pumpkin Vine Pharmaceutical Company, several department heads from Yuezhou Hospital and Margaret Hospital also came to the United States with Chen Xia this time. They came to communicate with each other.
As a hospital in a developing country, being able to have their doctors take classes at the world's number one Mayo Clinic is a sense of honor that is truly unprecedented and will never be repeated.
Chen Xia completely handed over the academic exchanges between doctors to her aunt and Margaret's dean Li Zhibai. This kind of academic exchange and communication is actually very boring and only professionals are interested in it.
As an administrative staff member, Chen Xia was more concerned about how to introduce the most advanced instruments and surgical procedures from Mayo Clinic.
Now Yuezhou Hospital still focuses on internal medicine. There is no other way. Internal medicine relies entirely on medicine, and this is the strength of Chenxia Space Hospital.
But as a surgeon, how could Chen Xia tolerate the surgery department just sitting there doing nothing?
For the development of surgery, the most important thing is the level of the surgeons.
Therefore, Chen Xia's arrangements for further studies abroad these times have been tilted towards surgery.
But it is not enough to have a highly skilled doctor. It requires the cooperation of an entire surgical team, such as anesthesia, nurses, etc., and advanced medical equipment is also required. None of these can be missing.
In addition, advanced auxiliary inspection equipment is also required. If you cannot accurately locate those delicate surgeries, how can the surgery be successful?
Therefore, it is really difficult to develop surgery, and this is also the direction that Chen Xia will strive to change in the future.
Now China's surgical operations, especially the hepatobiliary department led by Academician Wu, have reached international standards, but other surgical departments are really not up to par.
Mayo Clinic's surgical department is very strong, and Chen Xia has set his sights on them...
