Even if you were the greatest doctor in the world, you wouldn’t be able to treat patients a hundred years later. The only thing you can do is to train more and better doctors with a conscience. In this way, this job will allow the great endeavor and the great desire of your life to continue for the sake of patients. In the early morning of May 18th, we flew all the way from Guangzhou to Shanghai. Prof. Lehmann, Director of Trauma Surgery, Orthopaedics and Plastic Surgery at the Medical Center of the University of Göttingen, arrived at Pudong International Airport aboard a new aircraft from Air China. He is one of the kindest people in the world to Chinese hospitals and doctors. During the pandemic, he accepted four MD students for Grade Three Class A hospitals in China. He also bought new computers and set up an office for them. He designed research plans and assigned senior researchers to support their scientific activities. He helped them publish articles in scientific journals, jointly developed patented instrument and took them to attend The German Congress of Orthopaedics and Traumatology annually. During the pandemic, he accepted multiple Chinese surgeons as clinical fellows in Göttingen. From May 20 to 24, Prof. Lehmann visited Zhengzhou Orthopaedics Hospital for a weeklong international visiting professorship. During his visit, together by Party Secretary MEI Wei, Vice President WANG Yingqiu, chief expert WANG Aiguo, Director of Lower Limbs I LI Xinghua and teams of relevant sub-specialty in orthopedic trauma, Prof. Lehmann had in-depth exchanges via ward rounds, case discussion, surgical observation, internal seminars, global live surgery and public lecture. The topics covered the clinical hotspots of trauma surgery,research in orthopedics and trauma, hospital and department management, talent training, etc. In addition to clinical academic exchanges, Prof. Lehmann unreservedly shared his 8-year experience in managing the department. He turned a marginal department into one of the top departments in the hospital. It attracts more than 1 million euros of third-party research funding and about 6,000 surgeries are performed every year. The complication rate and the hospital lethality of polytrauma patients decrease steadily. It has ranked among the World’s Top 100 Orthopaedics Department by U.S. Newsweek for three consecutive years. During the visit this week, Prof. Lehmann was impressed by the number and difficulty of the cases in Zhengzhou Orthopedics Hospital. This also allowed him to gain deeper insights into the development of trauma surgery in China and the similarities and differences in specialty settings and management systems of orthopaedics and trauma surgery in China and Germany. Prof. WANG Manyi from Beijing Ji Shui Tan Hospital, the former Chairperson of AO Trauma Asia Pacific, was also invited to participate in the Sino-German Public Lecture on Trauma Surgery on May 24. In his opening remarks, Prof. Wang mentioned that the week-long academic week would contribute to deeper exchanges between both sides. He also highly acknowledged the efforts made by the hospital executives of Zhengzhou Orthopedics Hospital in promoting specialty development and talent training through international exchanges in recent years.
