1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Comrade Lu, what are you doing? You are just trying to scare me." Chen Tiezhu said helplessly.

"Tiezhu, do you know what you just said?" Dean Lu asked nervously.

Chen Tiezhu shook his head calmly, "I just know that many surgical examinations abroad are done with the help of endoscopes. Although it is also an invasive examination, it is definitely much better than our large-scale surgery."

"But if we want to perform surgery while performing an examination, there are still many difficulties to overcome. For example, we need a clearer camera to see the situation in the abdominal cavity."

"We also need to develop a set of supporting operating equipment for freeing, clamping, etc. We also need to study new surgical procedures to cooperate, which are all very difficult to do."

In fact, he really regretted it now. He just brought this up when he was excited. And in his impression, it seems that China only started to invest in research in the 1990s.

Now, in the state of Lu, it is obvious that he was moved by what he said. Is this thing so easy to study? He had seen it, but the current technology couldn't keep up.

"Tiezhu, will you invest in research in this area in the future?" Dean Lu asked.

"Comrade Lao Lu, I have never seen what this thing looks like. My personal understanding is that it should be an upgraded device for our current gastroscopy?" Chen Tiezhu said with a wry smile.

"Didn't the earlier examinations all use semi-flexible gastroscopes? No matter who has done it once, they will remember it for the rest of their lives, just like swallowing a sword."

"It's good now. Technology has been innovated and there are fiber endoscopes. This thing is thinner, and the person being examined will not be so painful. And the bending angle is larger, so you can see deeper."

"But even if we know the principle of this thing, can our domestic production really meet the standards? It uses glass fiber, right? We can indeed produce it, but how long can it be used?"

Dean Lu nodded, "That's true. When At first, our hospital also purchased domestic fiber endoscopes. Well..., that, after using it for a while, there were a lot of black spots on the display. "

"It is said that the glass fiber in the tube is broken, and each fiber corresponds to a pixel. Anyway, if the thing is broken, you can't see the place that can be seen."

"In the end, there was no choice but to import one from Japan. Otherwise, many patients really can't bear it, and because of their own reactions, they can't do more detailed treatment. "

"That's the reason." Chen Tiezhu shrugged his shoulders.

"In fact, sometimes it's not about whether we want to do something, but whether we can do it. The real development of this thing is the result of the efforts of large Japanese companies."

"Because they have unique technology in this area and can invest in research. Even the big Americans can't compare with them. What about us? Even worse."

"So it feels to me that many of our medical devices are actually a result that can only be achieved after the joint development of multiple technologies."

"As for your question just now, I really can't give you any answer. It can't be said that there will be no research in the future, but if we want to research, at least there must be supporting technology in China."

"It's hard to rely on foreign countries. Especially when we are researching innovations in a certain field, it is very likely that they will hold us back with a small lens or a fiberglass."

"For us, it is too hard to really innovate in technology nowadays. Only when domestic technology reaches the stage of letting a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend, can we be less worried about our research."

"We can indeed produce color TVs, but don't we still have to import TVs in our operating rooms? That's the truth."

His words were very clear, and Dean Lu understood and was very disappointed.

"Old Lu, some things can't be rushed." Seeing him like this, Chen Tiezhu felt a little sorry.

"Let's say you've been dreaming about organ transplant surgery. In my opinion, the whole operation process is not very difficult. If you understand the tissue structure and study it step by step, you can overcome it."

"The key is those imported anti-rejection drugs, which are very expensive. For many people, they can't afford it. And those who have undergone organ transplant surgery? They have to take it for life."

"So if our country's medicine wants to develop, it is not only the result of the efforts of our surgeons. It also requires a lot of soft power to do this job."

"Our current mission is toService is to rely on the existing technical level and make a certain degree of improvement, that's all. Prepare in advance, and when the time is right, everything will fall into place. "

Dean Lu nodded, "What you said makes sense. Old Hou, I'm sorry, because of my business, I delayed your conversation with Tiezhu."

"Hahaha, it's nothing." Hou Jingfu smiled and waved his hand.

"The medical devices we produce are also meant to serve your hospital. I just listened to your conversation with Tiezhu, and I was also enlightened."

"We can look forward to the future, but we can't be too ambitious. And now I have a new understanding of medical equipment."

"Tiezhu, give me ten days. Go back and deal with the family affairs, and then come to work in your factory."

"At the same time, I will bring my three students, they are also my assistants, and they are used to working together over the years. Is it okay? ”

“My God, this is something I can’t ask for, how can there be any problem?” Chen Tiezhu was overjoyed.

“I will call and ask the machinery factory to clean up the dormitory for you. Do you like to live in the factory or in the county? It’s up to you to decide, the factory will take care of it.”

“It’s better to live in the factory. Sometimes this research really takes a long time.” Hou Jingfu said.

“That’s fine, we will eat in the cafeteria. I have to say that the craftsmanship of the master chef of the machinery factory is not bad. I have eaten half a meal.” Chen Tiezhu said.

“Why half a meal?” Dean Lu asked curiously.

“In fact, I ate a few bites, and then someone made trouble and went to the government all of a sudden.” Chen Tiezhu said helplessly.

“Tiezhu, in fact, this aspect is nothing to us. You said you have a general idea for the improvement of the bone plate. Can you talk about it? "Hou Jingfu asked.

Chen Tiezhu didn't say anything, took the paper and pen from Dean Lu's desk, and started drawing quickly.

Dean Lu didn't think it was a big deal, but Hou Jingfu frowned and fell into deep thought when he looked at the sample drawing on the paper.
