Chapter 346 International Congress of Surgery
After more than ten hours of flying, the plane of the Hua Guo delegation finally arrived in Bonn, the capital of West Germany.
For Chen Qi, flying for more than ten hours was still tolerable, and he read a few pirated Hong Kong martial arts novels with relish, and the time passed in a flash.
But for the other senior professors in the delegation, after more than ten hours, it was more tiring than doing more than a dozen operations.
Professor Wu Mengchao's waist is not good. This is what he said in an interview in his later years. Every time he has an operation, he is hard-pressed, and he has never told anyone except his wife.
Others don't know, but Chen Qi knows.
Moreover, Chen Qi also knows that if you have a temper like Professor Wu's, flattering you will arouse his disgust. He has tried it before.
So when getting on and off the plane, Chen Qi silently helped him with luggage, documents, or some blanket on the plane, without showing any enthusiasm.
Professor Wu was actually silently observing Chen Qi's every move.
As the saying goes, character depends on the details, and the old man will not completely believe Chen Qi just based on his one-sided words. Decades of life experience have made him believe in his own eyes even more.
Then he discovered that along the way, even though Chen Qi became famous at a young age, he didn't have an arrogant and complacent attitude, and he always respected every member of the delegation.
Along the way, I ran up and down like ordinary staff to help everyone with this and that. I didn't think that I was a director of an international medical association.
Especially Professor Wei Cheng from Jishuitan. According to the current relationship between the two, they should be competitors. Even the Society of Hand Surgery represented by Wei is the main force behind the scenes to slander Chen Qi.
But this Comrade Chen Qi seemed to be okay, and he still helped Wei Cheng carry the box and deliver the boxed lunch, and there was no sign of any enmity between the two.
Professor Wu thought: This is really a good boy, full of vigor.
This matter was actually an oolong, because Chen Qi didn't even know that Wei Chengcheng was the president of the Society of Hand Surgery.
Because in the previous mobilization meeting, everyone did not introduce themselves to each other. After all, they are all famous doctors in the circle and know each other. There are only names on the nameplates.
If Chen Qi knew that Professor Wei Cheng was his "mortal enemy", he would have put laxatives in his lunch box to kill him.
But this was also a coincidence, and it was a blessing in disguise for Professor Wu to take a high look.
After the Huaguo delegation arrived at the hotel, they began to register and report. When everyone started to sleep and get jet lagged, Chen Qi made an excuse to report to ICPF for a meeting, and then slipped away.
West Germany is an old-fashioned capitalist country, and the degree of social development is not comparable to that of Huaguo, not even Bangziguo.
Chen Qi came to Europe for the first time, so of course he would not miss this good opportunity to "tour".
And for a person like him who has dollar bills in his pocket and gold fingers, traveling alone and shopping alone is a good way, because he can buy and buy all the way.
West German electrical appliances, such as the favorite color TV refrigerator in China, are the best in the world.
Other food and toys for children, famous sausages and pork knuckles, etc., Chen Qi bought them all in one go, and they are ready to enjoy them when they return home.
If he wasn't afraid of being too exaggerated, he would have bought a Mercedes to go home.
After all the shopping, Chen Qi sat alone by the Rhine, thirsty for beer, watching the beautiful women in cool clothes coming and going on the street, feeling that this is life...
The next day, the 34th Congress of the International Academy of Surgery officially started.
WCS society has a characteristic, that is, it is a conference composed of many surgical societies, which belongs to the highest level of medical society in the world. For example, it is equivalent to the "helm of the Tiandihui".
The specialized societies such as the International Society of Cardiac Surgery, the International Society of Neurosurgery, the International Society of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, the International Society of Cleft Lip and Palate Surgery, etc. belong to the second-level societies, which are equivalent to the various halls under the head of the Tiandihui.
Generally every two years, the WCS International Surgical Congress will hold a global conference, and the host location is not fixed.
The invitees are all outstanding and elite doctors in the field of surgery. The purpose of the WCS conference is to provide a platform for the promotion of various latest technologies and personnel exchanges to promote the development of surgical medicine.
For example, this time Chen Qi will represent ICPF to give a speech on "The latest cleft lip and palate surgery", because the "three new surgical techniques" he invented represent the highest technology in the plastic surgery treatment of cleft lip and palate today.
But when Chen Qi came to West Germany this time, besides the mission of ICPF, the most important thing was to publicize his severed palm foster surgery at the conference.
This is a bit of a waste of thought.
Because at the plenary meeting of the World Society of Surgery, the time limit for each speech is 10 minutes. If Chen Qi wants to finish the speech on the new cleft lip and palate surgery + foster care and replantation of severed palm, the time is definitely not enough.
And the key point is that he belongs to the ICPF Society, but not a member of the FSSH International Society for Surgery of the Hand. It is generally not allowed by the rules of the game for him to directly cross-border and involve other disciplines.
Therefore, Chen Qi still needs to obtain the consent of the FSSH Society, otherwise a breaker of industry rules will not be welcomed by everyone.
Even if he forcibly announces his surgical results, it will arouse the resentment of the FSSH society. At that time, Chen Qi's new surgical method will still be impossible to promote to you, and he will even block you like the domestic hand surgery society.
In this way, he is really suffering and cannot tell.
The foreign experts and teachers who have been famous for a long time have made many friends. As soon as they arrived in Bonn, they were busy attending various salons and receptions, and they could communicate with colleagues from all over the world.
But the Hua Guo delegation is a different kind.
Because Hua people are not good at communicating with people, and there are some inexplicable various foreign affairs discipline restrictions, members are absolutely not allowed to participate in any private receptions and dances.
At the same time, the relevant departments seem to be particularly afraid of private communication between domestic doctors and foreign colleagues. Probably because they are afraid that some state secrets will be revealed?
At this time, people's thinking is so conservative and rigid.
This caused Chen Qi and the others to stay obediently in the hotel when there was no meeting, not allowed to go out, for fear that you would never come back...
Then the question is, Chen Qi doesn't know anyone in Bonn, and there is no relevant bigwig to help him introduce the presidents and directors of the International Society for Surgery of the Hand, so how can he communicate with people from FSSH?
Chen Qi looked at Professor Wu Mengchao who was in the same room.
Professor Wu is the vice president of the International Society of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery. He has too many materials to study. When he was working hard, he suddenly felt a hot gaze.
"Hey, Xiao Chen, why are you looking at me? I'm not a pig's foot."
Chen Qi scratched his head embarrassingly: "Professor Wu, do you recognize someone from the International Society for Surgery of the Hand?"
