Chapter 1351: Chapter 1354: Departing for New York!
It turns out, pleasing a rich lady has its benefits.
For example, this ti, it’s the first ti Chen Cang and the others are flying business class to attend an international conference.
And the entire cost was covered by Ms. ng alone.
The reason being that Ms. ng was happy!
For the wealthy, money can’t buy happiness, only willingness.
After obtaining the precious item “Standards and thods for Aortic Dissection Classification,” Ms. ng felt a bit guilty and decided to pay out of her pocket to aid the hardworking masses, especially the lower-middle-class surgical worker Chen Cang.
The plane was business class, and even the hotel was booked with five stars.
“Tsk tsk, now I understand the benefits of a rich lady! If I were 20 years younger, maybe I could even try to win her over!” Xu Ziming chuckled.
Next to him, Liu Quan retorted, “Director Xu, think carefully before you speak again; I’ll record it and send it to your wife when we get back!”
Xu Ziming was imdiately stunned, “Comrade Liu Quan, your spiritual civilization award is gone this year!”
Liu Quan gave an embarrassed smile, “Director, I was just joking, but… I think even if you have the heart, you don’t have the kidney!
Oh! If you had Professor Chen’s face, maybe. Forget it… That’s too hard.
If you had Director He’s waist, you could probably find a rich lady!”
Well, Liu Quan has always been experienced in playing with fire, moving steadily on his path.
It has to be said, everyone’s in a great mood!
This ti, being invited to the U.S. to attend the cardiothoracic surgery association’s annual eting, and it’s the 100th one, they felt invigorated.
The thought of becoming an association mber soon made everyone overly excited.
Even Chen Cang wasn’t an exception.
But this ti, Chen Cang planned to return fully rewarded.
Hope that the Arican Association for Thoracic Surgery, with its over 100 years of history, is as legendary as rumored!
“This is the first ti I’m so eager and willing to attend a conference!” Xu Ziming couldn’t help but sigh, holding the manuscript in his hand.
“Of course, before you were just a filler at the seat, even a walk-on role at international conferences, but this ti… you’re at least a main character!” Liu Quan laughed as he said.
Liu Quan’s words, though not very popular, were indeed true.
Of course, not only Xu Ziming thought so, but everyone attending the conference felt the sa way.
Xu Ziming, He Zhiqian, Li Baoshan… these were all directors who still had quite a way to go before becoming top doctors.
It’s very likely they might stop at this stage in their lives.
After all, the ergency center hospital has never been a place to achieve success.
The country spends a lot of money on ergency centers every year, but it’s all ergency funding, not research funding.
And it’s research funding that’s crucial for the developnt of disciplines!
Of course, if an ergency center could beco an international clinical trial base, it could achieve results without worrying about money!
But… it’s a national ergency mission base, so it naturally can’t undertake these clinical trials.
anwhile, Liu Quan, Xu Aiqing, this group of people are young doctors, around forty years old, at the peak of their strength. The cardiothoracic surgery association’s annual eting this ti will be a significant opportunity to polish their skills, greatly benefiting future developnt!
Arriving in New York, the hotel sent three rcedes-Benz to pick them up.
That’s the perk of a luxury hotel.
There’s even luxury car airport pick-up service, but it costs money.
But Ms. ng was in high spirits and happy to spend!
In contrast, the AATS 2020 annual eting’s official organization can be said to be quite dignified.
Attending international conferences sponsored by pharmaceutical companies in the past, you generally need to prepare everything from tickets to gifts ahead of ti, fearing doctors will throw a fit.
But the Arican Association for Thoracic Surgery is different. Besides its 1,300 mbers, others who want to co?
Alright, we need to review your qualifications first because we’ll only accept 1,700 non-mbers!
This is worldwide!
Even if you pass, rember you have to pay a $100 mbership fee, and there’s also a submission fee.
Food and accommodation are self-managed, als at your own expense.
Chen Cang and the team were invited to attend, and they also booked their own flights and accommodations, with the official promise of reimbursent afterward.
Chen Cang initially worried whether business class plus a five-star hotel would fall within the reimbursent range, but they directly said:
“Professor Chen, you’re truly frugal; when you return, our staff will help you book first class!”
One sentence made Chen Cang doubt his life!
This is too rich!
Have to say, AATS is financially robust, and mber benefits are genuinely good.
Because AATS is excessively wealthy!
Even the pharmaceutical companies sponsoring the events and etings do so wildly every year, sending gifts to mbers.
Plus, the most crucial is their industry status.
In its over 100 years, AATS has been committed to the developnt of cardiovascular and thoracic surgery.
Their opinions can influence the judgnt of the Food and Drug Administration. Many tis, the U.S. FDA requires the AATS association to review drugs and devices related to cardiovascular and thoracic surgery.
This is a fair third-party institution!
Becoming an AATS mber is naturally significant for a doctor.
The hotel was booked at the Four Seasons in New York.
Chen Cang thought it wasn’t because the hotel was expensive, but because the location was great.
Just after checking in, the Arican Association for Thoracic Surgery’s staff ca over.
Assisted them in handling the relevant conference affairs and delivered the conference schedule to them.
Chen Cang and the team needed to prepare for their speeches, so they had to settle early with the association’s board.
Hart, a young manager in his thirties from a pharmaceutical company, was in charge of liaising with them.
Chen Cang hadn’t heard of this pharmaceutical company’s na, but the other party was very enthusiastic.
He said if Chen Cang and the team needed, they could provide a guide, driver, and a car.
The other party’s thoughtful considerations and service made Chen Cang feel for the first ti how much the U.S. values doctors.
At first, Chen Cang felt embarrassed.
Because when encountering pharmaceutical reps at ho, Chen Cang’s first reaction was to keep a respectful distance and avoid them.
Hart, perceiving Chen Cang’s unease, smiled and said, “Professor Chen, get so rest; we’ll pick you up for the eting tomorrow, have a good al!”
Said with a smile, then left.
ng Xi looked at Chen Cang and laughed, “Don’t be too sensitive.”
“It’s quite normal for foreign doctors to collaborate with pharmaceutical companies, and hospitals also cooperate with pharmaceutical companies.”
“Many hospitals’ shares and investnts are from pharmaceutical company investnts.”
“Also, becoming an AATS mber grants you priority access to the free dicine offered by Arican pharmaceutical companies through their own channels.”
Free dicine?
On hearing this, everyone was delighted.
Free dicine might not be of much use to doctors, but it’s incredibly useful for patients!
Imagine how many patients can’t afford their dication each year?
Currently, most of the free drugs in the country focus on the oncology field.
Just imagine, if doctors had access to free dicine…
