I run a clinic in the United States

Chapter 223 Top 3000 and “Prometheus-[-]” surgical robot
The order of playing was completely randomly selected by the computer. Stephanie was lucky and it was her turn soon!
Stephanie stood up, and Zhou Qiao encouraged her: "Believe in yourself, you can do it!"

Although Murphy usually doesn't get along with her and competes with her overtly and covertly, at this time he waved his cold white fist and said softly: "Come on!"

Stephanie stood in the aisle with a smile, looking at her former colleagues at Johns Hopkins Hospital behind her.

Because there are three doctors from Johns Hopkins Hospital competing in the same group. Dr. Jaylen, who got perfect scores in the Maryland division last time, Dr. Henry with 598 points, and Dr. Todd with 591 points.

Stephanie only scored 596 points in the last California competition.

The other doctors from Johns Hopkins Hospital and the other contestants from Maryland cheered for these three people!

"Doctor Jaylen, come on! Our hospital is looking after you!" Alvarez yelled.

"Doctor Henry, strive for this super power and come back with perfect scores!"

"Doctor Todd, come on too!"

The three of them stood up in high spirits, walked to the aisle, and motioned for Stephanie to go first.

So, a group of four people headed towards the competition center.

Soon, the game ended, and Stephanie was the first to pass the level, with perfect scores!It took 47 minutes!
As soon as this result came out, Dr. Mick Wells, who was sitting down, couldn't help but stand up suddenly. He was so surprised!

"Why is she making rapid progress or performing so well? Originally, I thought I was already very good. How could I have known that I was not as good as Stephanie?" Dr. Mick Wells murmured to himself. The competition lasted so long, he The record of 49 points was broken for the first time.

But in the California Division, Stephanie was behind him!Thinking of this, he became a little nervous again, for fear that he would be eliminated.

The second person to pass the test was Dr. Jaylen from Johns Hopkins Hospital. He still got a perfect score. It took a little longer than Stephanie, but the difference was not big. It only took 48 minutes.

Dr. Mick Wells, who had already sat down, couldn't help but stood up again!On the side, his companion gently pulled him to calm him down and said, "Dr. Mick, don't be too hasty. Even if the time is slightly off, there is still a score for the surgery video!"

Dr. Mick Wells had to take a deep breath and sat down again.He secretly thought to himself, "Don't ever do it again." His little heart couldn't bear this sudden surprise.

Fortunately, no one could surpass him after this round.

The other two players from Johns Hopkins Hospital, Dr. Henry did not perform as well as the division, with only 595 points, and Dr. Todd was even worse, with only 586 points. Both of them came back dejected.

When passing by Stephanie, the two of them said to Stephanie: "I'm sorry."

Stephanie was confused and shrugged: "Come on!"

The two of them returned to their seats in frustration. They were in an extremely bad mood. They couldn't even get full marks, and they probably missed the top twenty.

Colleagues nearby were also lamenting.

Before, they had discussed in private and said that they should give Stephanie a break when they met her. As a result, she got a perfect score of 600 and took 47 minutes.And what about them?It's been more than an hour, and most importantly, so many points have been deducted!
Even Dr. Jaylen, who had the best results, was more than 50 seconds behind Stephanie in terms of time.Oh my God, how did Stephanie do this?

As for the Iris Clinic, there are two more powerful ones who have not yet appeared.

After Stephanie came back, she looked at Murphy with some pride, because her score this time also surpassed Murphy in the previous division.I thought to myself, now the pressure is on you.

It would be funny if you couldn't surpass me!

Murphy smiled slightly and ignored her.

In the morning, Stephanie had been very happy because no one surpassed her in the next day. However, in the afternoon, elite doctors from the Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, and Massachusetts General Hospital came on stage, and Stephanie's record was was broken.

Among them, Dr. Isner of the Cleveland Clinic was the most powerful, with a perfect score of 600 and a time of 33 minutes.

Stephanie looked at Zhou Qiao in surprise, because Zhou Qiao's last fastest time was 35 minutes.

Murphy hummed: "Why are you in a hurry? I can do it in 33 minutes."

"Ah?" Stephanie was a little dizzy. She took a deep look at Murphy and said to herself, I hope you are not lying.Because if Murphy could do it easily, then she wouldn't worry about Zhou Qiao.

Dr. Isner from the Cleveland Clinic was so powerful, she was really afraid that Zhou Qiao would lose.

The Mayo Clinic and Massachusetts General Hospital each have one doctor, more than Stephanie.One took 39 minutes and the other took 46 minutes.All perfect scores.

In the third game the next morning, Zhou Qiao and Murphy took the field at the same time. Stephanie stood up and cheered for him below, while the players from the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center and the University of California, Los Angeles Medical Center also stood up. Let’s shout for Zhou Qiao, come on!
Of course, they were just shouting when they came on stage before the game. When the game actually started, the whole place was actually silent, and the only sounds that could be heard were the players pressing buttons and fiddling with the joysticks.

This simulation device is actually a bit like a surgical robot. With many fine robotic arms, one person can complete six surgical procedures.No assistant is needed.

This is also the direction of future development. Because labor is expensive in North America and the number of doctors is limited, they have to accept patients from all over the world, especially large hospitals. There are actually many operations. It is impossible to arrange many assistants for one operation. Single-person operations have always been It has always been the mainstream in North America.

If a surgical robot is not used, the only option is to use a mirror support or a robotic arm, as well as various retractors with complex structures. In fact, it is a simplified version of the robot.

The surgical robot is more intelligent and automated.

The equipment for this competition is all sponsored by the "Yagemohui" Group.

The simulation equipment is only used for training and competition. What they really want to launch is the more expensive "Prometheus-3000" surgical robot.

This kind of robot mainly has three key core technologies: Endo Wrist, a freely movable arm and wrist, 3D high-definition imaging technology, and human-computer interaction design of the main console.

During the operation, the surgeon does not have direct contact with the patient, but operates and controls it through a three-dimensional vision system and a motion calibration system. The robotic arm and surgical instruments simulate the doctor's technical movements and surgical operations.

Because the robotic arm can rotate 360 ​​degrees at will, it can complete many actions that cannot be done directly by human hands.

In the past few years, they have launched two models of surgical robots, "Prometheus-1000" and "Prometheus-2000", with amazing profits. The main market is in North America, with annual sales of more than 100 One hundred million U.S. dollars.

The price of "Prometheus-3000" is set at US$300 million per unit, but this is the price in North America. If it is sold to Asia and Europe, it will be even more expensive.

For example, in China, it is said that one unit is sold for more than 2500 million yuan.

This is not the most annoying thing. What is even more annoying is that the robot's mechanical arm is a high-value consumable. It is temporarily installed on the robot when used. Each mechanical arm can no longer be used after 10 times, and the price of replacement is , depending on the model, it ranges from US$700 to US$3200 in the United States, while in China, one costs at least 10 yuan.

There are also annual maintenance services, repair fees, etc., which add up to a staggering amount.Anyway, it is impossible for ordinary small hospitals to use it.

Compared with surgical robots, it is more convenient to have more doctors.

However, surgical robots also have their advantages, both from the perspective of doctors and patients.As for the shortcomings, it may be that it is expensive.

Some people may say, why should I only use it ten times?Although the end of the arm will theoretically wear and loosen after each use, can't it be continued to be used a few more times?Even if it’s just once, it’s still a profit.

The key is that this kind of surgical robot was developed by an American company. The other party set it up in the background program and locked it after ten uses!There is no way around it without replacing it!

Murphy and Zhou Qiao came on the stage, and many people were talking.

"Is this the same Dr. Zhou who is famous for his aesthetic medicine and beats the University of California Medical Center, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, and Stanford Health Care Hospital?"

"And that tall and cold beauty, it is said that she is also an employee under him."

"Haha, the Stephanie who scored 47 minutes before is also from their clinic." "Stephanie can also score 47 minutes, how about these two people?"

"I have a hunch that the time to witness a miracle has arrived!"

"Is it that exaggerated? Can it surpass Dr. Isner of the Cleveland Clinic?"

……

The game started.

Dr. Isner was also staring at the big screen nervously, especially when the camera was focused on Zhou Qiao, he was particularly nervous because, as a master looked at the doorway, he had already had a premonition that something was not going to happen.Zhou Qiao's technique was faster and more sophisticated than his by more than one level.

Sure enough, no matter what he was afraid of, Zhou Qiao cleared the level after only 10 minutes.When the result was displayed on the big screen, the whole place was in an uproar.

"Is this, this, still a human being?"

"Aren't tentacle monsters that powerful?"

"Oh my God, am I blind?"

"You're not blind. We were all wrong before. Well, I guess I have to apologize to the doctors in California."

……

Dr. Isner of the Cleveland Clinic couldn't help but stand up suddenly when he saw Zhou Qiao's performance, while Dr. Mick Wells of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center breathed a sigh of relief and sat motionless in his chair.

"Huh~, you guys should know how powerful Dr. Zhou is by now, right? Haha, it turns out I'm not that bad, it's Dr. Zhou who is so amazing!" Mick Wells said in his heart, even Iss from the Cleveland Clinic Dr. Nell is far behind, so it's really not his own problem.

Well, the opponent is too strong.

"It turns out that I was not the only one to stand up in shock. Now, Dr. Isner has stood up, and many other doctors have also stood up! Haha, they can't sit still!" Mick Wells' mood at the moment , indescribably wonderful.

The other players in the California Division also breathed a sigh of relief.Seeing that Zhou Qiao was far ahead, the suffocation in their hearts was finally relieved.

You mocked us before, but now you are beaten by Dr. Zhou?
If the second brother doesn’t laugh at the third brother, you are not much better than us.

But not long after, Murphy also passed the level, with a full score of 600 and a time of 25 minutes, second only to Zhou Qiao.It is still far better than the previous record of 33 minutes by Dr. Isner of the Cleveland Clinic.

The audience was in an uproar again, and Dr. Isner of the Cleveland Clinic suddenly stood up again, with the same expression as Mick Wells before.

But at this moment, Mick Wells was no longer so nervous. He was smiling and enjoying the dazzling performance of Zhou Qiao and Murphy.It seems that only when the two of them truly shine can everyone truly realize how powerful they are.

Stephanie was speechless, and couldn't help but be convinced by Murphy.She didn't know what was wrong with her, so why was there such a big gap?Murphy, how did she practice?

That’s all for other surgeries, but she has obviously done more minimally invasive cardiac surgeries than she does.

Stephanie was puzzled.

The lunch break is the most proud time for doctors in California, because many doctors who had previously laughed at them came over to apologize or congratulate them.

The doctors at Johns Hopkins Hospital also expressed their congratulations to Zhou Qiao and the other three.Who asked them to sit close to each other?
Mick Wells thought: "Even Dr. Isner of the Cleveland Clinic has been left behind by Zhou Qiao. I guess no one can surpass Zhou Qiao and Murphy in the future."

There was not only one person who thought this way.

Indeed, as everyone expected, the next game was almost nothing to watch.Even if there are occasional players with perfect scores, the time spent is more than 10 minutes.Although the slowest one also got full marks, it took a full hour and two 10 minutes and was completely uncompetitive.

Compared with those monsters before, it is not on the same level at all.

On the morning of the third day, the first round of simulated competition ended, and the judges immediately began to count the scores of the two rounds intensively and conduct rankings.

When the results came out, there was no doubt that Joe Zhou was first, Murphy was second, and Dr. Isner of the Cleveland Clinic was third.

The fourth and fifth are from the Mayo Clinic and Massachusetts General Hospital.

The sixth and seventh were from Columbia and Cornell Presbyterian hospitals in New York and Duke University Hospital in North Carolina respectively.

Stephanie finished eighth, breaking into the top ten.

Dr. Mick Wells of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center ranked ninth.

Dr. Jaylen, the best-performing doctor at Johns Hopkins Hospital, ranked tenth.

Although Dr. Jaylen's first round time was shorter than that of Dr. Mick Wells, the score of the surgical video was slightly lower, so he ranked behind.

The remaining ten to twenty were from Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, University of Pennsylvania Presbyterian Hospital, UCLA Medical Center, University of Michigan Hospital, Mount Sinai Hospital, UCSF Medical Center, Houston Methodist Hospital, New York University Langone Medical Center.

Only the top [-] will have the opportunity to conduct the final live broadcast of the surgery and enjoy the comments of the academicians.The others all received participation awards, but also received the National Young Elite Doctor Medal made of solid gold.

The organizing committee announced that the live broadcast of the surgery will be carried out within the next month, and the order of appearance will be sorted by the computer. Please be prepared.

Finally, the awards ceremony will be held in Boston about a month later, a week before Halloween. There will be a week-long academic forum at that time, and everyone is welcome to come and discuss.

The "Yagemohui" Group is very good at advertising and gave souvenirs to every contestant, including promotional materials for the "Prometheus-3000" surgical robot, each one receiving a copy.

Dr. Jaylen and the doctors at Johns Hopkins Hospital were very depressed. After working on it for a long time, they still couldn't do anything about Stephanie.

They secretly vowed to come back when the surgery was broadcast live.

Because the live broadcast of the surgery has basically nothing to do with the previous results.

The top twenty will be re-ranked based on their performance during the live broadcast. Eighteen academicians will comment in person, and that will be the final ranking!

The American Academy of Medical Sciences has 3000 academicians, including more than 200 big names in the field of cardiac surgery. It is more than enough to select [-] academicians.

It is worth mentioning that there are many foreign academicians of the U.S. National Academy of Medical Sciences, including several Chinese.

Although they failed to be elected as judges this time, they were very happy when they heard that No. 1 in the top [-] was actually a Chinese doctor.

As for Zhou Qiao's doctor's license, no one is paying attention to whether the Medical Board of California is doing something fishy and opening a backdoor for him.

Because it makes no sense.To be able to enter the finals as No. 1 in a competition of this level across the United States, the issue of qualifications is not worth mentioning.Even if he doesn't have it, he will be given a replacement now.

Qualifications are just the threshold.

Some academicians have expressed their intention to accept Zhou Qiao, Murphy and Stephanie as their disciples.

The United States also has a master-apprenticeship system. If you type the word "apprentice" into a search engine, the first thing that pops up is a series of reality shows from the National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) that have been popular in the market for more than ten years. The title is "Apprentice" (sometimes translated as "prosperity").

There are also many "teachers" in American colleges and universities.
