今晚我以每小時900公里的速度從無錫飛回廣州，在飛機上寫下了這五年來我一直想講的話。醫生和病人才是任何一家醫院真正的核心。醫生好，病人的生命才真正有保障。有病人，醫院才能形成真正的閉環。但是在中國有多少醫院院長可以敢花3000多萬去買一臺設備，卻從未對學科建設和人才培養投入任何的經費？因為醫院買一臺設備對個人有好處，而對學科建設和人才培養投入是對醫生有好處。很多醫院領導認為對醫生有好處與他們無關。有這種理念的醫院領導在中國簡直就是大有人在，在中國越大的醫院，對醫生越是一毛不拔，簡直是又小氣又苛刻。曾經有位院長親口告訴我：“中國醫院最大的問題就是資金嚴重浪費”。所以才沒有真正的國際關鍵學術領袖，當然也沒有對標全球的頂級醫院。學術會議簡直就像菜市場，很多大佬講完課后馬上離開，從來不與來聽他們講課的醫生互動溝通。2019年我們去德國柏林參加德國骨科和創傷外科學會年會。這是歐洲大陸最大規模的骨科盛會。大會主席4天時間準時在各個分會場認真聽課，積極與全場醫生互動溝通，他們一起討論各種學術難題。氣氛熱烈，讓人心潮澎湃。其實這才是一個大佬真正提升他在行業內影響力的唯一機會。我多么希望2023年就是中國醫院的元年。畢竟人才才能成就一家偉大的醫院，醫生才是一個國家的良知。

That night, I took a flight back from Wuxi to Guangzhou at a speed of 900 kilometers per hour. On the plane, I wrote down the words that had been kept in my heart for the past five years. Doctors and patients are the true core of any hospital. With capable doctors, the lives of patients are genuinely safeguarded. With ample patients, the doctors can truly fulfill their medical expertise. This forms a success circle of a hospital. However, many hospital presidents in China are willing to spend over 30 million yuan to purchase a medical device, yet have never considered investing in specialty construction and talent cultivation of the hospital？Because purchasing medical devices benefits some of the directors by kickback, while investing in specialty construction and talent cultivation benefits the doctors. And many hospital directors believe that actions benefiting doctors are unrelated to their interests. In China, there are plenty of directors hold this belief. The larger the hospital, the stingier and more demanding they are toward doctors. A hospital president once told me that the biggest issue in Chinese hospitals is the serious waste of funds. That's why there's a lack of money to cultivate key international academic leaders. Consequently, there are no top-tier hospitals that can benchmark against internationally well-known hospitals in China. The academic meetings are in chaos.. The so-called big shots leave right after giving their lectures and never truly interact with their colleagues. In 2019, we went to Berlin, Germany, to participate in the largest orthopedic event in Europe – the Annual Congress of the German Society of Orthopaedics and Trauma Surgery. Within four days of the congress, the chairs attended various sessions on time, actively listened to lectures, enthusiastically discussed on various academic challenges with all the attendees. The atmosphere on-site was exhilarating. In fact, the only opportunity for a top doctor to truly enhance his influence within the industry is through participating in conferences actively. How I wish 2023 would be the year of the Chinese hospital. After all, talent makes a great hospital, and doctors are the reflect of conscience of a nation.
