7月30日廣州流火夏日，天邊魚肚白，我6:00起床，洗澡化妝。我與司機(jī)一同去廣州白云機(jī)場2號航站樓接人。我們已有4年沒有重逢。今天德國脊柱學(xué)會(huì)前主席Rosenthal教授重回中國。他乘直飛航班從法蘭克福出發(fā)，于今早8:10分落地廣州。我們在機(jī)場的酒店共進(jìn)早餐。公關(guān)部同事冰雪陪著教授飛往鄭州。教授將在河南省直第三人民醫(yī)院椎間盤中心工作一周。今年越來越多來的VIP病人來到德國找他看病。他的工作異常繁忙。在德國他專注于微創(chuàng)技術(shù)。去年他招收了兩個(gè)博士生。一位是河南省直第三人民醫(yī)院宋坤鋒主任，另一位是汕頭大學(xué)廣州華新骨科醫(yī)院李傳將主任，今年他倆將去德國攻讀臨床醫(yī)學(xué)MD博士。今天Rosenthal教授告訴我，他不會(huì)退休，他將看著他倆順利畢業(yè)。河南省直第三人民醫(yī)院椎間盤中心已經(jīng)是國家重點(diǎn)?？屏恕Ｔ谥袊薪偌覍？坡?lián)盟。幫扶了中國上百家基層醫(yī)院開展微創(chuàng)技術(shù)。他們專注的脊柱內(nèi)鏡手術(shù)絕對是中國微創(chuàng)脊柱的天花板。整個(gè)醫(yī)院關(guān)健從院長到副院長和科主任都非常低調(diào)謙虛，真誠待人，他們從上到下重視醫(yī)院管理、學(xué)科建設(shè)和人才培養(yǎng)。這才是中國醫(yī)院的希望。

7月31日下午為河南省直第三人民醫(yī)院科室品牌建設(shè)交流會(huì)。河南省直第三人民醫(yī)院業(yè)務(wù)院長袁啟東，院長助理、椎間盤中心主任周紅剛，骨科主任沙宇、閆永昌等醫(yī)院骨干均到場參加。椎間盤中心代表申明奎博士進(jìn)行雙語科室工作匯報(bào)，分享了目前科室的工作現(xiàn)況以及科室前景的展望。Rosenthal教授也表示，省直三院的椎間盤中心在手術(shù)技術(shù)、國際交流與對基層醫(yī)院幫扶的成就有目共睹，發(fā)展前景大好！接著，教授進(jìn)行《德國脊柱外科學(xué)科建設(shè)的經(jīng)驗(yàn)總結(jié)》為題的演講，分享了德國2006年德國脊柱學(xué)會(huì)（DWG）創(chuàng)立以后的脊柱外科醫(yī)生的培養(yǎng)體系以及培養(yǎng)流程。在德國，從事脊柱外科的醫(yī)生主要由神經(jīng)外科醫(yī)生與骨外科醫(yī)生構(gòu)成，他們共同進(jìn)入脊柱外科培訓(xùn)體系，學(xué)習(xí)脊柱外科頸胸腰椎的所有手術(shù)入路以及器械知識。學(xué)會(huì)會(huì)針對他們的學(xué)習(xí)完成情況、完成病例數(shù)等對其進(jìn)行頒發(fā)證書，證書分為三個(gè)等級，basic、master、excellence。Rosenthal教授表示，一個(gè)脊柱外科醫(yī)生從完成三個(gè)等級的晉升通常需要10到15年的時(shí)間。最后，袁啟東院長致結(jié)束詞表示，他非常認(rèn)同教授所闡述的人才就是學(xué)科發(fā)展的第一要義的理念，感謝他的分享對未來醫(yī)院人才發(fā)展與建設(shè)有了新的啟發(fā)。

On July 30th, Guangzhou's hot summer day. The sky suffused with gray dawn. I got up at 6:00, showered and put on make up. I went with my driver to Guangzhou Baiyun Airport Terminal 2 to pick up Dr. Rosenthal. We haven't seen each other in four years. Today Dr. Daniel Rosenthal, former president of the German Spine Society, visited China again. He took a direct flight at Frankfurt and landed in Guangzhou at 8:10 this morning. We had breakfast together at a hotel nearby. Our colleague Zoe accompanied him to fly to Zhengzhou. Dr. Rosenthal will stay for one week at the Disc Center of The Third people’s Hospital of Henan Province. This year, more and more VIP patients are coming to him for medical treatment in Germany. He is also very busy this year. He pays high attention on minimally invasive techniques. Last year he accepted two doctoral students. One is Mr. Song Kunfeng from the Third People's Hospital of Henan Province, and the other is Mr. Li Chuanjiang from Shantou University Guangzhou Huaxin Orthopedic Hospital. This year they will both go to Germany for MD Degree study. Dr. Rosenthal told me today that he is not going to retire and he will see them through to their graduation.

The key national clinic specialty construction project landed in disc center of the Third People's Hospital of Henan Province. They founded a specalized alliance in China and now there have been nearly 100 members. It has helped hundreds of primary hospitals in China to develop minimally invasive techniques. Their expertise of endoscopic spine surgery definitely ranks the top in the field of minimally invasive spine surgery in China. The whole hospital off the president to the vice president and department chiefs are very modest, treating people with sincerity, and they emphasize hospital management, specialty construction and talent cultivation. This is the hope of Chinese hospitals. The Communication Meeting on the Construction of Department Brand of the Third People’s Hospital of Henan Province was held in the afternoon of July 31st. The executives of the Hospital including Yuan Qidong, the hospital President, Zhou Honggang, Associate President and the Director of the Disc Center, Sha Yu and Yan Yongchang, the Directors of the Orthopedics, attended the meeting. Dr. Shen Mingkui, the representative of the Disc Center gave a presentation, sharing the current situation and prospect of the department. Dr. Rosenthal regarded that, people have all witnessed the achievements of the Disc Center of the Hospital in surgical techniques, international exchanges and supporting local hospitals, and that it has a bright future. Following the report, Dr. Rosenthal addressed a lecture with the topic of The Construction of the Discipline of Spine Surgery - German Experience. He shared the cultivation system and process of spine surgeons of Germany of the German Spine Society (Deutsche Wirbels?ulengesellschaft, DWG) starting from 2006. In Germany, ‘spine specilaist’ is used to call neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons who dedicate to the specialty of spine surgery. They enter the cultivation system of spine surgery together, to learn the procedures of cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine, the instrumentation and so on. Based on the extent of the accomplishment of their study, the number of cases, etc., DWG will issue them a certificate accordingly, which has three levels: Basic, Master, and Excellence. According to Dr. Rosenthal, it normally takes 10 to 15 years for a spine surgeon to grow from Level Basic to Excellence. At the end, Yuan Qidong, the hospital President, conveyed in the ending speech that, he greatly agreed with Dr. Rosenthal’s idea that talents are the most essential for specialty development., and showed his gratitude for the new inspirations from Dr. Rosenthal’s lecture on the development and talent cultivation of the hospital.
