Kunming City, First People's Hospital.

Dean Fang hurried into the office, sat down on the sofa, and drank a cup of hot tea brought by his secretary, and then he felt a little relieved.

"Fang Yuan, didn't you go to the Health Commission for a meeting this morning? Why do you look so tired?" the secretary of the hospital office asked with a smile.

"Forget it, it's a meeting to promote the implementation of surgical robots in primary hospitals. I'm the only one talking at the whole meeting. Not only do I have to make a report, but I also have to answer everyone's questions. Are you not tired?"

Dean Fang complained softly while drinking all the tea in the cup.

"I'm over 50 years old. I've been talking all morning and I haven't even had time to drink water. My mouth is peeling. Please pour me another cup of tea."

"I don't know where they have so many problems. It's really strange."

The secretary brought another cup of tea and said with a smile: "It's not because Sanqing's surgical robot is easy to use. Many of my friends are asking about the effects of using it."

Dean Fang immediately became happy when he heard this: "Then tell them quickly to keep the money in advance and wait to buy the surgical robot."

"This surgical robot will be the development trend of surgery in the future. Doctors can't stop it at all. They can only hitch a ride as soon as possible to avoid being left far behind by the wheel of the times."

"And from what I heard above, surgical robots have been domestically produced and will definitely be widely promoted in the future."

"Currently, the da Vinci surgical robot is the most commonly used, but it is too expensive. There are less than 400 units in China, and most of them are concentrated in first- and second-tier cities."

"These hospitals that have bought Da Vinci will definitely continue to use it, but hospitals in other third- and fourth-tier cities will definitely need to buy new ones. The first choice is definitely Sanqing."

"Just wait and see, I guess the provincial centralized procurement of surgical robots will be soon, and we won't have to wait too long."

The secretary was a little surprised: "Isn't this too fast? Isn't it still in clinical practice? It's going to be centralized procurement before it's even launched on the market?"

Dean Fang waved his hand and said, "Hey, you don't understand. The surgical robot should be on the market within a year of clinical trials at the latest. By then, everyone will definitely be rushing to buy it, and there may be overseas customers."

"Besides, the production time of large-scale equipment is very long, and if there are too many orders, it may take two or three years to wait. Therefore, domestic centralized procurement is arranged first, and the orders are signed so that we can wait for the schedule."

"Good morning, Dean." The secretary nodded with a smile and was about to continue saying something.

At this time, Dean Fang's cell phone rang.

When he answered the call, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face and his tone became high-pitched.

"Are you telling the truth? You didn't deceive me with this price, did you?"

A few minutes later, Dean Fang hung up the phone, sat on the sofa and was stunned for a while, then burst into laughter.

"Three million for one unit. Sanqing is really brave. With such a low price, even a hospital would have to buy one."

The secretary asked curiously: "Three million? Is that the price of the surgical robot?"

Dean Fang nodded and said with emotion: "That's right, the most basic endoscopic surgery robot is three million units. This price is for Da Vinci, which is only one-tenth of the other price.

The functions are not bad at all, and the market is going to completely change."

He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Now that I think of the two Leonardo da Vinci in the courtyard, my heart is bleeding!"

"It's expensive, it's so expensive. Two of them cost 60 million. How many Sanqing surgical robots are enough to buy them?"

"Furthermore, Da Vinci can only perform laparoscopic surgeries, including cardiac surgery, gynecology, urology, gastrointestinal surgery, liver and gallbladder surgeries, and that's pretty much it. Sanqing's robot is versatile and can do all kinds of surgeries."

"However, precisely because imported robots are expensive, not many hospitals can afford them. Even the hospitals that can afford them are only willing to buy the most useful Da Vinci, and are reluctant to buy other types of robots."

"Fortunately, I didn't buy another robot, otherwise I would be crying even more now." At this point, he patted his chest with fear on his face.

"Originally, I thought Da Vinci was very useful, and I planned to buy an orthopedic robot and a supernatural robot next year, but now I don't need to buy either."

"In the future, I just need to buy Sanqing's surgical robot. It's cheap anyway, and each department can be equipped with one, no, just two!"

"Hahaha~" Dean Fang finally showed a satisfied smile and laughed.

"Ding ding ding ding~" the phone rang again.

"Why are there so many calls today?" Dean Fang muttered and picked up the phone.

"Hey, Lao Feng, it's you, long time no see! How are you doing lately?" Hearing the familiar voice, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

The caller, Lao Feng, was his college classmate. After graduation, he returned to his hometown to develop his career and later became the director of the Municipal People's Hospital.

I don't know why I called you this time.

"Old Fang, that's right. Do you still remember me? I heard that you have the latest surgical robot from Sanqing?"

"I plan to bring a few doctors from the hospital to inspect and study, to see how the robot is used in clinical applications, and whether it is so mysterious."

"If it is really useful, I will report it to the superiors when making the budget this year and buy a few units for the hospital."

Old Feng spoke carelessly, without treating Dean Fang as an outsider in his tone.

Dean Fang was used to it and said with a smile: "Hey, you guys are rich now? Can you afford a surgical robot?"

"I remember that only the Provincial People's Hospital had a Da Vinci before. How come your prefecture-level city is also planning to buy one?"

Old Feng shouted at the top of his lungs: "Old Fang, you are in the richest province, and I am in the poorest province. I will not compete with you. In the past, I could only buy Leonardo da Vinci. Everyone knows this, but there is nothing we can do about it."

, it’s too expensive, one unit is worth half of my budget for half a year, I really can’t afford it, I can only drool just looking at it.”

"But the situation is different now. Damn, I can't afford the imported robots. Can't I still afford the domestic robots? Not only can I afford the three-million-dollar Sanqing, I can also buy two at a time. You can

Say it’s awesome or not.”

"Hahaha~ Of course that's awesome! Old Feng, you've managed to get through it all. Now that all the medical equipment has been made in China, you can afford everything."

"I still remember that when we graduated, everyone went to big hospitals in first- and second-tier cities. You were the only one who never forgot your original intention and stuck to your hometown. This is what I admire you the most." Dean Fang remembered the situation of his old brother and reluctantly

My eyes couldn't help but feel wet.

"Thanks to Sanqing, robots can be made locally and spread to your grassroots hospitals. It's really, really great!"

"If you want to lead a team to inspect, I absolutely welcome it. We haven't seen each other for ten years at least. Come over and say hello, and I will definitely make arrangements for you."

Dean Fang patted his chest and took care of everything. The talk of brotherly love made Old Feng burst into tears.

"As expected of a brother, Lao Fang, you are still so interesting."

"That's it, it's settled. I'll be here in two days. I'll send you the flight number later."

"Okay!" The two agreed, chatted for a while, and hung up the phone reluctantly.

Dean Fang couldn't help but be excited at the thought of meeting his old brother soon, and was full of expectations for their meeting.

Three days later, Dean Fang received Dean Feng and his party from afar.

The two had a deep brotherly love as soon as they met and hugged each other tightly.

After both parties calmed down and exchanged pleasantries, President Fang led a group of excited people to the operating room to visit the robotic surgery.

President Feng comes from a little-known small city in Gansu Province. The Municipal People's Hospital where he works was upgraded to the top three hospitals only a few years ago.

The Department of Surgery has only six departments: neurosurgery, urology, maxillofacial surgery, orthopedics, obstetrics and general surgery, and the configuration is quite rudimentary.

It is also a people's hospital. Not only can it not be compared with the top three hospitals in first-tier cities, such as Ruiji Hospital, but even when compared with Kunming People's Hospital, it is a huge difference.

President Fang has more than a dozen surgical departments under his command, with a backbone team of hundreds of people, as well as a specialized endoscopic center.

And President Feng brought 6 surgeons, and the backbone team of our hospital has already been fully equipped.

Coupled with the surgical team staying at the hospital, the number of surgeries that can be performed in the entire hospital can be counted on two hands.

"Old Feng, your idea is actually right. In fact, grassroots hospitals are where surgical robots can best exert their advantages. Your trip is definitely not in vain."

"Did you know? With surgical robots, the difficulty of surgery has been greatly reduced, and it can completely make up for the lack of quality surgeons in primary hospitals."

Although they had not seen each other for many years, President Fang was very enthusiastic and kept introducing the specific clinical situation of surgical robots.

"You will understand what I mean when you go to the operating room to observe it later."

"Okay, I feel so excited when I think that I will see the real machine soon, and my heart beats very fast." Dean Feng said with a grin, and the smile on his face was particularly bright.

His temples were gray, his hair was messy, and the remaining stubble on his face was unevenly layered, making him look a bit unkempt.

However, the black suit he was wearing was extremely straight and not wrinkled at all. It could be seen that he cherished him very much and attached great importance to this meeting.

A group of people came to the operating room, changed into surgical clothes, and walked in.

At a glance, I saw the brand new surgical robot in the center.

At this time, a patient was lying on the operating table, and the surgeon was controlling the handle in front of the console to perform a single-port distal gastrectomy.

On the large screen at the side, the operation footage is played in real time, and the medical assistant monitors the situation and reports the situation to the surgeon at any time.

Dean Feng rushed over and came to the big screen. His eyes were full of longing, as if an artist had come to a museum to view a world-famous painting.

After a while, the operation screen changed, and blood-red tissue filled the entire screen.

"This is the zoom function. The robotic arm is equipped with a special lens that can magnify objects 10 times and provide ultra-clear vision, allowing doctors to see small tissues that are difficult to capture with the naked eye."

Dean Fang stood aside and took on the important task of explaining, explaining carefully.

Dean Feng couldn't help but nodded: "You can indeed see clearly enough."

He turned his eyes to the doctor in front of the console and couldn't help walking over to watch his operation.

The surgeon was staring at the screen in front of him, his fingers on the handle, and he easily completed the operation by pinching, placing, turning his wrist, and other actions.

By pressing the pedal, you can switch freely between different robotic arms.

After watching it for a while, Dean Feng felt that it was an eye-opener and he cheered repeatedly.
