c644 Price plunges, robots go to the countryside

Kunming, First People’s Hospital.

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

“Fangyuan, didn’t you go to the Health and Construction Committee meeting this morning? Why do you look so tired?” The secretary of the hospital office asked with a smile.

“Don’t mention it, it’s a meeting to promote the landing of surgical robots in primary hospitals. I was the only one talking during the whole meeting. Not only did I have to make a report, but I also had to answer everyone’s questions. Can I not be tired?”

Dean Fang complained and drank the tea in the cup.

“I’m in my 50s. I’ve been talking all morning, and I didn’t even have time to drink my saliva. My mouth is peeling. Pour me another cup of tea.”

“I don’t know where they have so many questions. It’s really strange.”

The secretary brought another cup of tea, and said with a smile, “Isn’t it because Sanqing’s surgical robot is easy to use? Many of my friends are asking about the effect of using it.”

Dean Fang was immediately happy when he heard it: “Then tell them quickly, save 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 take a free ride as soon as possible, so as not to be left behind by the wheels of the times.”

“And I heard from the above that the surgical robots are all localized, and they will definitely be widely promoted in the future.”

“At present, da Vinci surgical robots are the most commonly used, but the price 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 bought Da Vinci will definitely continue to use them, but hospitals in other third- and fourth-tier cities must buy new ones. The first choice is definitely Sanqing.”

“Let’s see, I guess the provincial centralized procurement of surgical robots is coming soon, and it won’t be too long.”

The secretary was a little surprised: “This is too fast, isn’t it still in clinical practice? It’s going to be collected before it’s listed?”

Dean Fang waved his hand and said, “Hey, you don’t understand. Surgical robots should be on the market within one year of clinical practice at the latest. By then, everyone will rush to buy them. Maybe there will be overseas customers.”

“Besides, the production time of large-scale equipment is very long, and there are some orders that have been queued for two or three years, so the domestic centralized procurement is arranged first, and the order is signed, so that we can wait for the schedule.”

“Dean’s opinion.” The secretary nodded with a smile, and was about to continue to say something.

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

When he connected, an expression of disbelief instantly appeared on his face, and his tone became high-pitched.

“What you said is true? The price didn’t lie to me, did it?”

A few minutes later, Dean Fang hung up the phone, sat on the sofa in a daze, and suddenly laughed wildly.

“One set for three million. Sanqing is really bold. With such a low price, even a hospital would buy one.”

The secretary asked curiously, “Three million? Is it the price of a surgical robot?”

Dean Fang nodded and said with great emotion: “That’s right, the most basic type of endoscopic surgery robot is 3 million units, and this price is for Da Vinci, only one-tenth of the other party’s. The function is not bad at all, and the market is about to change completely.”

He couldn’t help laughing bitterly: “I think of the two Da Vincis in the courtyard now, and my heart is bleeding!”

“It’s expensive, it’s too expensive. It cost 60 million yuan for two sets. How many Sanqing’s surgical robots are enough to buy?”

“And Da Vinci can only do laparoscopic surgery, cardiology, gynecology, urology, gastrointestinal, liver and gallbladder, that’s about it. Sanqing’s robot is all-rounder, it can do any kind of surgery.”

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

“Fortunately, I didn’t buy another robot, otherwise I would be crying even more now.” Having said that, he patted his chest with fear.

“Originally, I thought Da Vinci was very easy to use, and I planned to buy an orthopedic robot and a supernatural robot next year. Now I don’t need to buy any of them.”

“In the future, you only need to buy Sanqing’s surgical robots. It’s cheap anyway. Every department can have one, no, just two!”

“Hahaha~” Dean Fang finally showed a satisfied smile and laughed out loud.

“Dinglingling~” The phone rang again.

“Why are there so many calls today?” Dean Fang muttered as he picked up the phone.

“Hey, Old Feng, it’s you, long time no see! How are you doing?” He couldn’t help being a little surprised when he heard the familiar voice.

The old Feng who called was his college classmate back then. After graduation, he returned to his hometown to develop, and later became the director of the Municipal People’s Hospital.

I don’t know what to do with the call this time.

“Old Fang, yes, you still remember me, brother, I heard that you have the latest surgical robot from Sanqing?”

“I plan to bring a few doctors from the hospital over to investigate and study, to see how the clinical application of robots is, and whether it is so mysterious.”

“If it’s really useful, when we make a budget this year, I’ll report to the higher-ups and buy a few for the courtyard.”

Lao Feng said carelessly, without treating Dean Fang as an outsider in his tone.

Dean Fang is also used to it, and said with a smile: “Hey, are you rich in Gan Province now? Can you afford a surgical robot?”

“I remember that there was a Da Vinci in the Provincial People’s Hospital before. Why are you planning to buy it in your prefecture-level city?”

Lao Feng shouted at the top of his voice: “Old Fang, you are in the richest province, and I am in the poorest province. I will not compare with you. In the past, I could only buy Da Vinci. Everyone knows this, but there is no way. , It’s too expensive, one set is worth half a year’s budget, I really can’t afford it, I can only look at it and drool.”

“But the situation is different now. Damn, I can’t afford imported robots, can’t I still afford domestic robots? Not only can I afford Sanqing for three million one, but I can also buy two at a time. Say it’s awesome or not.”

“Hahaha~ Of course that’s awesome! Old Feng, you’ve come a long way, you’ve come a long way. Now that medical equipment has been made locally, you can afford everything.”

“I still remember that when everyone graduated and went to the big hospitals in first- and second-tier cities, you alone stayed true to your original aspirations and stuck to your hometown. I admire you the most.” President Fang recalled the situation of his old brother and endured. The eye sockets couldn’t help being moist for a while.

“Thanks to Sanqing, robots can be localized, and they can be popularized in your primary hospitals. Really, that’s great!”

“If you want to bring a team to visit, I absolutely welcome it. We haven’t seen each other for ten years at least. Come over and say hello, and I will definitely arrange it for you.”

Dean Fang patted his chest and embraced everything. This kind of brotherhood made Lao Feng burst into tears.

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

“That’s it. I guess 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.

Thinking of seeing his old brother for many years in the near future, Dean Fang couldn’t help being excited, and was full of expectations for the meeting between the two.

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

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

After the two parties calmed down and exchanged pleasantries, Dean Fang led the excited group to the operating room to observe the robotic surgery.

Dean Feng is from a little-known small city in Gansu Province, and the Municipal People’s Hospital where he works has only been upgraded to the top three a few years ago.

There are only six departments in surgery, including neurosurgery, urology, maxillofacial surgery, orthopedics, obstetrics and general surgery, and the configuration is quite simple.

It is also the People’s Hospital, not only can’t compare with the top three in first-tier cities, such as Ruiji Hospital, even if compared with the Kunming People’s Hospital, it is a world of difference.

Dean Fang has more than a dozen surgical departments, a backbone team of hundreds of people, and a dedicated endoscopy center.

And Dean Feng brought 6 surgeons, and the backbone team of this hospital has already come out.

Coupled with the surgical team staying at the hospital, it is estimated that the entire hospital can count on two hands.

“Old Feng, in fact, your idea is correct. In fact, grass-roots hospitals are where surgical robots can give full play to their advantages. Your trip is definitely not in vain.”

“Did you know? With surgical robots, the difficulty of surgery is greatly reduced, and it can completely make up for the lack of high-quality surgeons in primary hospitals.”

Xu hadn’t seen him for many years, but Dean Fang was very enthusiastic and kept introducing the specific clinical situation of the surgical robot.

“When you go to the operating room to observe it later, you will understand what I mean.”

“Okay, thinking that I’m about to see the real phone, I feel so excited and my heart beats so fast.” Dean Feng grinned and said, with a particularly bright smile on his face.

His temples were grizzled, his hair was messy, and the stubble left on his face was uneven, making him look a bit unkempt.

But the black suit on his body was very neat, without any wrinkles. It could be seen that he cherishes it very much and attaches great importance to this meeting.

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

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

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

On the big screen at the side, the operation screen was played in real time, monitored by the medical assistant, and the situation was reported to the chief 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 and was about to observe a world-famous painting.

After a while, the operation screen changed, and blood-red tissues covered the entire screen.

“This is the zoom function. A special lens is installed on the robotic arm, which can magnify the object by 10 times and provide an ultra-clear field of view, allowing doctors to see the tiny tissues that are difficult to capture with the naked eye.”

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

Dean Feng couldn’t help but nodded: “It’s really clear enough.”

He turned his gaze to the doctor in front of the console, and couldn’t help walking over to watch his operation.

I saw the chief surgeon staring at the front screen while putting his fingers on the handle. After pinching, releasing, and turning his wrist, he completed the operation with ease.

Through the pedals of the feet, you can switch freely between different mechanical arms.

After watching for a while, Dean Feng felt his eyes widened and applauded repeatedly.

Dean Fang smiled and said: “Sanqing can provide training. According to my experience, after two to four weeks of training, you should be able to get started. Of course, you need to go from easy to difficult in the follow-up, and then go through practical operations.”

Dean Feng nodded again and again, his eyes lit up, and he kept praising the shock brought to him by the surgical robot.

“It looks very powerful. The whole process is like driving a car. You can turn the steering wheel and step on the pedals. I don’t think it is too difficult to learn.”

“I think the stability of the robotic arm is very good, and there is no delay in the movement. It looks really good.”

“This high-tech thing is good. Our hospital must buy two back, otherwise it will be eliminated by the times.”

The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, and he had secretly made up his mind that after returning home, he would report to his superiors and apply for funding no matter what.

Even if other aspects of life are a little tight, we must get two surgical robots to improve the surgical capabilities of the surgeons in this hospital.

I really can’t bear this kind of situation where I started to run and limp on one leg.

If the operation is not promoted, the hospital will not be able to solve the problem at all when encountering patients with complex conditions in the future, and will always have to be referred to a higher-level hospital.

Often in such a referral process, the lives of many patients are delayed in this way.

In his more than 20 years of professional career, such tragic cases have occurred continuously, and every time he thinks about it, he feels heartbroken.

“By the way, there is actually another big killer for grassroots hospitals. Because I lack the conditions here, I didn’t have time to test it.”

Dean Fang seemed to suddenly recall something, and added: “That is the remote surgery function.”

“For example, if your hospital has surgical robots in the future, if you encounter a difficult disease that cannot be solved by your own ability, you can ask our hospital for support and expert consultation.”

“After consultation with our experts, we will give you a suitable surgical plan, and you can also control your surgical robot over a distance of more than 2,000 kilometers through the Internet to perform surgery on patients directly.”

“In this way, grass-roots hospitals are no longer afraid that they will not be able to find experts to perform surgery.”

“And the experts don’t have to work hard to fly the knife, which greatly improves the efficiency and shortens the treatment time of patients.”

“After all, a remote surgery can already be completed after a few hours of flying.”

Dean Feng was overjoyed in an instant: “There is such a good thing, that can’t be better, now we are more determined to buy surgical robots.”

“Speaking of which, I’ll turn to your hospital for help, so don’t turn me away.”

Dean Fang smiled immediately: “Old Feng, I can’t refuse anyone, but I can’t refuse you. We were inseparable brothers in school back then.”

“Besides, don’t you still have a superior hospital?”

Dean Feng smiled, didn’t say anything, and turned his head to watch the operation process again.

Half an hour later, the operation was completed. Dean Feng went to the patient to have a look. He saw the automatic suturing skills of the robot and the small minimally invasive incision, and he was full of praise.

For the next time, he led the hospital’s surgical team and spent time in the operating room, learning various surgical techniques.

I even tried driving a surgical robot, which gave me a deeper and more realistic experience.

And the 6 surgeons brought here, each of them tried to use the robot to perform the simplest operation – cutting the appendix.

A week passed quickly, and on the eve before Dean Feng was about to set off home, Dean Fang knocked on his door with an unexpected guest.

“Old Feng, there is a great happy event.”

“Sanqing wants to donate a few surgical robots to remote areas to test the function of remote surgery.”

“Is this a coincidence? Don’t you just come from a remote area?”

“How about it, are you interested?”

With a creak, the door opened.

Dean Feng appeared at the door in his pajamas and looked over frantically.
