Chapter 619 Is Endoscopic Surgery Safe?

"Mrs. Chapman Webster slandered my personal and national reputation throughout the press conference..."

As soon as Chen Qi finished speaking, the scene was quiet, and several Chinese staff members slapped their foreheads with their hands, knowing that the young dean had caused trouble.

Anybody else would have said "no comment" or "we're researching" with a smile on this occasion. How could they directly refute or directly shoot?

Do Chinese people have the right to shoot?

It's too insignificant to see the big picture, and it's too unpolitical.

The reporters were more excited than the other. This is a group of working groups who are afraid of chaos. They can tell right and wrong about everything, not to mention that someone is directly firing. The more intense the conflict between the two sides, the more material they have.

"Doctor Chen, do you have any evidence to prove that Mr. Chapman Webster died in an accident?"

"Mrs. Chapman Webster said she would sue you. Are you going to countersue?"

"Doctor Chen, aren't you afraid that your remarks will eventually affect your country's investment attraction?"

"Doctor Chen, can you be responsible for what you say?"

Chen Qi dug out a copy of the medical records from his briefcase, and shook it in front of everyone:

"Mrs. Chapman Webster said that our country is poor and backward. It is estimated that she thinks that such a country does not have modern medicine, but I can tell her very clearly that the conclusions we draw are all based on evidence. All identifications made exist.

This is the medical record of Mr. Chapman Webster, which records in detail his condition when he was admitted to the hospital, what tests the doctor did and what medicine he took after admission. Everyone should pay attention to this CT film, which is the key evidence.

Of course, I can’t disclose the medical records, but these CT films can be seen by everyone. It clearly shows that the aortic root of Mr. Chapman Webster was swollen when he was admitted to the hospital. This is the position, and your lens can be zoomed in... "

Chen Qi pointed out a certain place on the CT sheet to the reporters. What did the reporters know? They saw a white half-moon bud-shaped shadow on the black film.

"Doctor Chen, what does the swelling here represent?"

"This means that when Chapman Webster was admitted to the hospital, there was an aortic dissection. This bulging place is a medical dissection aneurysm. In fact, it was full of blood. When the aneurysm ruptured , It is also the cause of the patient's rapid death due to hemorrhage."

The reporters were busy recording, and many videographers pointed their cannon-like cameras at Chen Qi and the report.

At this time, a reporter obviously wanted to make trouble:

"But Dr. Chen, many doctors have analyzed the condition. It is generally believed that the death of Mr. Chapman Webster should be caused by asphyxiation caused by vomiting during gastroscopy. Some doctors also believe that the patient convulsed first and then died. Terriers or Asperger's syndrome are more likely."

Chen Qi didn't take it seriously:

"Mrs. Chapman Webster said that we have no basis for talking nonsense. In fact, I think these European and American doctors you mentioned are blind BBs. They can see a doctor from a distance without even seeing the patient or the dead? You can do whatever you want. Making irresponsible remarks? This is so unscientific."

The reporters all admired Chen Qi's hard bar skills, so some reporters continued to ask questions:

"Dr. Chen Qi, there is a point of view that endoscopic surgery or endoscopic examination is not as good as everyone thinks. There are many uncertainties. Many hospitals around the world have announced medical accidents caused by endoscopic surgery.

For example, the simplest gastroscopy has tens of thousands of cases due to suffocation, perforation, malignant arrhythmia, and cerebrovascular accident.

As the vice president of the World Endoscopy Branch, what is your opinion on this?

In addition, is the real cause of death of Mr. Chapman Webster also related to the medical accident caused by gastroscopy? After all, Chapman Webster was still conducting normal business negotiations before being admitted to the hospital. According to the people present, he did not show any discomfort. "

According to normal people's thinking, this is indeed a doubtful point.

Before Chapman Webster came to China, he was alive and kicking. After coming to China, he had business negotiations and factory inspections, and there was no abnormality or discomfort in the whole process.

Then I felt a stomach ache after eating a meal. After being sent to the hospital, I had a gastroscopy and died on the spot.

The most medical disputes are the sudden death, because the family members can't accept it, and it is also the most suspicious.

When Chen Qi heard that some reporters began to question the endoscopic surgery and the safety and stability of the gastroscope, Chen Qi frowned and smelled something strange.

"Sir, you should understand that any medical treatment is risky. It doesn't mean that the patient goes into the safe when he arrives at the hospital. For example, if you have a very common infection and the doctor gives you penicillin antibiotics, the patient may also suffer from a small infection." A small skin test leads to anaphylactic shock and death.

Whether there are side effects of gastroscopy, of course there are, but this side effect is not worth mentioning compared with the contribution made by gastroscopy. We cannot deny a medical behavior because of a little risk, just like we cannot deny it because of a small probability of a plane crash. Airline operations are prohibited as well. "

As soon as Chen Qi's voice fell, another reporter immediately changed the subject:

"I would like to ask Dr. Chen, if Chapman Webster's family members do not agree with the autopsy, do not recognize your appraisal report, and insist on claiming compensation and accountability, how will you deal with it?"

Chen Qi shrugged his shoulders:

"I'm not the chief executive, how should I deal with it? I believe that Shenzhen City should have its own method, but personally, when there is a dispute between the two sides, in the words of Mrs. Chapman Webster, why not apply for a third party Appraisal? Let the facts speak for themselves?"

"What do you mean by third-party verification?"

"Of course it was an autopsy. Whether it was a dissecting aneurysm or a doctor's misoperation, an autopsy can give a clear answer."

What did the reporters want to ask? People from the relevant departments had already arrived and took Chen Qi out of the reporters.

A small leader complained:

"Dean Chen, how can you directly accuse Chapman Webster's family in front of so many reporters? This is against the request of the higher authorities to minimize influence."

Chen Qi sneered:

"People have come to your door, and so many reporters have been invited to turn black and white, and you are all silent, isn't this giving the stage to the family of Chapman Webster and letting them occupy the commanding heights of public opinion?

I don't understand why you want to give up the battlefield of public opinion, why don't you dare to refute it in person? You must know that if you tell too many lies, it becomes the truth. When people all over the world subconsciously believe that Chapman Webster was put to death by us, how will you recover from this disadvantage of public opinion? "

"But, but..."

"But what? If you don't even have the guts to do that, why would you invite me? Obediently pay someone 100 million dollars, and then grab all the doctors from Ziguang Hospital and tear them up to meet the demands of the Americans. Ah, you guys are really going to do this, what's the difference between you and Han J?"

When Chen Qi saw how useless the people in Qianzhen were, he became very angry, wishing he could take a military plane back to Haidong overnight.

The death of Chapman Webster quickly caused an uproar in the United States. Who called 1989 an unhappy year?

Most of the reports in the American media are conspiracy theories, using the words of the Chapman Webster family, which is quite detrimental to a certain country.

Similarly, many people began to advocate the unreliability of endoscopic surgery in the media, behind the scenes are those pharmaceutical companies that did not take the ride of endoscopic surgery.

Because the invention and promotion of endoscopic surgery has the greatest impact on the drugs produced by these pharmaceutical companies.

For example, achalasia, originally a disease that cannot be cured, requires patients to take medicine for a long time to relieve symptoms, which will generate a steady stream of profits for pharmaceutical companies.

Now Chen Qi has invented the POEM technique, which can cure achalasia through endoscopy, and no need to continue to take medicine, which violates the interests of some pharmaceutical companies.

Therefore, in newspapers and on TV, a lot of doubts and slanders have begun to be raised about the safety of endoscopic surgery.

The invention and promotion of any new technology, in the initial stage, will inevitably have a fierce collision with the old technology, technology is like this, and so is people.

Chen Qi was disturbed by the reporters, and his thoughts of going out to find delicious food also faded away. He returned to his room and dialed an international long-distance call.

It was dusk in China and dawn in America at this time.

Professor Grace, the president of the World Society of Gastroenterology and the director of Cliff Hospital in the United States, was still asleep when he was woken up by a phone call.

The old man was not angry, so he answered the phone and asked calmly, "Who is there?"

"Hey, Mr. President, you should get up. Our endoscopy business is being questioned and attacked. How can you sleep peacefully?"

Professor Grace knew who it was when he heard the voice, and laughed and scolded:

"Chen, it seems that the so-called appraisal expert is really you in the medical dispute that happened in Huaguo."

Chen Qi was a little surprised. He didn't say anything, and people knew about it. It seems that this matter has really caused a stir in the United States.

"It seems that you also know about Mr. Chapman Webster. This matter is indeed very regrettable, and the appraisal report is indeed made by me. After all, you also know that no one in our country knows more about endoscopy than me. "

Professor Grace sat up at this time, and his face became more solemn:

"Tell me, what's going on? Why are there so many voices against endoscopic surgery all of a sudden? It's absolutely abnormal."

Chen Qi saw that the old man from the United States had also become vigilant, and thought that there was no need to waste his words, so he explained all the speculations at the appraisal meeting in detail.

Professor Grace is the president of the World Society of Gastroenterology. Naturally, he knows all kinds of unexpected situations that may occur during gastroscopy, so he is also thinking about the possible cause of Chapman Webster's death while listening.

"Chen, are you really sure that Mr. Chapman Webster didn't die from complications of gastroscopy? He died from aortic dissection?"

"I'm sure, but I can't say that it has nothing to do with the gastroscope. I can only say that we were unlucky, because this dissecting aneurysm will rupture sooner or later, and he will definitely die.

However, during the gastroscopy, he experienced severe vomiting, which increased the pressure of the blood vessels and caused the rupture of the dissecting aneurysm, and then died during the gastroscopy. side effect. "

When Chen Qi said this, what did he think of:

"Mr. President, how do you comment on the death of Mr. Chapman Webster in your media now?"

Professor Grace glanced at the newspaper on the table and smiled wryly:

"The newspapers in the United States are run by capitalists. Now that a capitalist has passed away unexpectedly, of course it is full of accountability and slander for your country. Anyway, the vast majority of stupid Americans like to read this kind of news. Not surprisingly.

But what surprised me is that many newspapers and TV stations are discussing the safety of endoscopic surgery, such as why Mr. Chapman Webster died suddenly, because it is easy to suffocate, easy to perforate, and easy to cause heart disease during gastroscopy. Vascular stroke etc.

Then, many victims or family members of endoscopic surgery also came forward to speak out, denouncing the dangers of endoscopic surgery in front of the media, causing them to lose their health or relatives, which attracted many people’s attention. At least in our hospital, the application for endoscopic surgery has declined. a lot. "

Hua people have been influenced by two thousand years of Confucian culture, and they are loyal believers in conspiracy theories.

Even a young man like Chen Qi was no exception, so he thought for a while and asked his own question:

"Professor, is this an interest group taking advantage of Chapman Webster's death to attack endoscopy technology? Otherwise, how could there be such a demonic wind all of a sudden?"

Professor Grace smiled: "This is something for sure. To put it bluntly, this world is the era of capital control."

Chen Qi also sat up straight at this time, and thought of a way to get the best of both worlds:

"Mr. President, since someone wants to hype this matter, I think we can also push the boat along the way and turn this bad thing into a good thing."

"How to say?"

"Hot spots are created by them. They can hype a medical dispute into a total negation of a new technology, so we can take advantage of this wave of public attention to stir up endoscopic surgery to let more people know about it. "

"Ha, you have an idea, right? Chen, what are you going to do?"

"First of all, we need to find a way to get Chapman Webster's family to agree to the autopsy, and first announce the real cause of this death, which has attracted worldwide attention, so that everyone knows that the gastroscope did not cause Chapman Webster's death. The cause of Mr. Sturt's death.

At the same time, you find a celebrity in the United States and ask that he suffers from a certain disease that cannot be cured by medicine, just like that Hollywood tycoon. Then I treat him with an endoscope in front of the media all over the world. good.

With this wave of hype, we can make a steady profit, Mr. Chairman, what do you think? "

"But Chen, how are you going to convince the family to agree to the autopsy?" (End of this chapter)
