Chinese medicine: from rural hospitals to top three hospitals in Kyoto

Chapter 1057 Mayo's Invitation

He Yonghua stood on the stage, looking at the enthusiastic response from the audience and Chen Yang's approving eyes, his heart filled with excitement and pride.

He knew they succeeded!

The following question-and-answer session was extremely lively, with questions coming one after another, mostly focusing on the details of acupuncture first aid, its indications, and the future possibilities of integrating Chinese and Western medicine.

He Yonghua and Chen Yang (sometimes He Yonghua would ask Chen Yang to provide additional answers) responded calmly, being both frank about the limitations of the current research and demonstrating an open and cooperative attitude.

When the meeting was almost over, Ichiro Yamamoto also stood up. The venue suddenly became much quieter. Everyone wanted to hear what yesterday's "opponent" would say today.

Yamamoto Ichiro's expression remained complicated, but he took a deep breath and spoke with unprecedented sincerity, "Professor He, Doctor Chen, first of all, please allow me to apologize again for my disrespect yesterday."

"Your report was excellent, and your surgical skills reached the pinnacle. More importantly, the medical ideas you proposed, while still a long way to go, undoubtedly point out a new direction worth exploring for all of us. Thank you for sharing!"

After saying that, he bowed slightly.

At this moment, the audience applauded again, this time with more respect and reconciliation.

Professor Charles also spoke shortly afterwards, expressing similar admiration and willingness to cooperate.

The atmosphere in the branch venue reached a climax.

After the report, Chen Yang and He Yonghua were immediately surrounded by enthusiastic participants. There was an endless stream of people exchanging business cards, discussing cooperation, and making appointments for exchanges, and they were unable to disperse for a long time.

Borg hugged Chen Yang and He vigorously: "Chen, He, you did it! You have changed many people's views on traditional Chinese medicine!"

Mueller and Robert also expressed their congratulations and expressed their hope to have the opportunity to visit and study at the Kyoto International Medical Center.

Zhao Hongbo and Li Xiaowen helped out on the side, their faces filled with excited smiles.

Huake Pharmaceutical has definitely made the right bet this time!

Because of Chen Yang, Huake Pharmaceutical encountered less resistance this time.

........

On the second day of the summit, Chen Yang and He Yonghua were still extremely busy.

In addition to continuing to listen to reports from other fields and acquire new knowledge, they spend most of their time responding to communication requests from various experts.

There are those who want to discuss specific technical details, those in the education field who are interested in both Chinese and Western medicine, and pharmaceutical companies and equipment manufacturers like Huake Pharmaceutical who hope to seek cooperation.

At noon, Chen Yang and He Yonghua declined several lunch invitations and were about to have a simple lunch with Borg and others when a middle-aged lady with a well-dressed and capable temperament stopped them with a smile.

"Excuse me, are you Dr. Chen Yang and Professor He Yonghua?" The lady spoke fluent English.

"We are, and you are?" He Yonghua responded politely.

"Hello, I'm Katherine Miller, director of the International Partnership Department at the Mayo Clinic."

The lady smiled and handed over her business card. "Excuse me, Mr. Williams, Chairman of the Mayo Clinic Board of Governors, and Professor Stevenson, Director of the Heart Center, would like to invite you to lunch. Would you honor me?"

Mayo Clinic?

He Yonghua was shocked. This was a holy place in the eyes of doctors all over the world, and it was the top medical aircraft carrier ranked first in the United States all year round!

Personally invited by their chairman and director of the heart center?

Chen Yang was also slightly surprised, but he quickly regained his composure. He took the business card, looked at it, and said with a smile, "Thank you very much for your hospitality, Mr. Williams and Professor Stevenson. It's our honor."

"Great, please follow me." Catherine smiled even more broadly and led the way gracefully.

Borg's eyes widened as he lowered his voice to Chen Yang, "Chen, Mayo rarely invites outsiders so proactively, especially... to have lunch together! It seems like you've really caused a sensation this time!"

Chen Yang smiled and understood.

Mayo's move is probably not just out of academic appreciation.

Chen Yang and He Yonghua followed Catherine to a private room in an extremely private high-end restaurant near the venue.

In the private room, two elderly men with gray hair and outstanding temperament were already waiting there.

A slightly fat man with a kind face and wearing gold-rimmed glasses is the Chairman of the Mayo Board of Directors, Mr. Michael Williams.

The other man, with a slim build and sharp eyes, is Professor John Stevenson, director of the Mayo Heart Center and a leading figure in the field of cardiac surgery in the world.

"Welcome, Dr. Chen and Professor He."

Chairman Williams stood up and extended his hand with a smile. "The reports you two gave yesterday were fantastic. They really opened our eyes."

"Chairman Williams, you are too kind. You and Professor Stevenson are our role models." Chen Yang responded modestly.

He Yonghua also quickly said a few polite words.

Professor Stevenson looked at Chen Yang with a look of scrutiny and undisguised admiration. "Doctor Chen, your surgical skills are superb. What's even more remarkable is your open and creative thinking. The execution of that operation was truly a work of art."

"Professor Stevenson, you are too kind. This is the result of the joint efforts of the team." Chen Yang still kept a low profile.

Lunch was held in a friendly atmosphere.

Chairman Williams and Professor Stevenson were both knowledgeable and humorous people. The conversation did not get straight to the point right away, but instead moved from the summit to the scenery of New York and then to global medical development.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Professor Stevenson gradually led the conversation into deeper depths.

Obviously, these two Mayo experts should be familiar with Chinese customs.

Discussing things at the dinner table is a common practice among Chinese people.

"Doctor Chen, Professor He..."

Professor Stevenson put down his knife and fork, and his tone became more formal. "We at Mayo have always been committed to bringing together the world's top medical resources and wisdom to provide the best solutions for patients."

"We have noticed that your Kyoto International Medical Center has made very beneficial and amazing explorations in the field of integrating Chinese and Western medicine."

Williams also added, "In particular, Dr. Chen, your application of acupuncture emergency techniques during the operation and your holistic analysis of Mr. Lawrence's condition have demonstrated unique value. We believe that this has great potential and a future."

Chen Yang and He Yonghua listened quietly, knowing that the main point was coming.

"so,"

Professor Stevenson leaned forward slightly, looking at Chen Yang with a burning gaze. "We at the Mayo Clinic sincerely invite you, Dr. Chen Yang, to come to Mayo as a visiting scholar or distinguished professor for one to two years of academic exchange and collaborative research."

He Yonghua's heart suddenly jumped!

Mayo directly invited Chen Yang?

This is an opportunity that countless doctors dream of!

However, when He Yonghua looked at Chen Yang, he found that his face was calm and he didn't seem very excited.
