4月6日薩爾茨堡大學(xué)附屬醫(yī)院大骨科主任，2025奧地利外科學(xué)會主席Freude教授今早從慕尼黑飛抵上海。清晨下雨，我與可欣6:00在浦東機場接到教授。上午我與可欣陪教授去了豫園，兩小時用英文講解了這個30畝的1557年建立的古代園林，晚上去了1875年創(chuàng)辦的上海老飯店吃了本幫菜。教授餐敘時告訴我們新冠疫情全球去世了600萬人，可是每年全球因為創(chuàng)傷就會有4000萬人去世。所以發(fā)展創(chuàng)傷中心對一個城市的龍頭三甲醫(yī)院至關(guān)重要，創(chuàng)傷外科絕對是與骨科并駕齊驅(qū)的一類學(xué)科。但是當(dāng)今中國所有醫(yī)院卻把創(chuàng)傷外科定義為二類學(xué)科，這絕對是非常錯誤的分科體系。過去上百年在德國每50公里就會有一個創(chuàng)傷急救中心，所以可以給創(chuàng)傷病人提供快速救助，如果當(dāng)?shù)責(zé)o法快速解決，就會由直升機轉(zhuǎn)運到國家級創(chuàng)傷中心進行快速轉(zhuǎn)運治療。德國的大骨科學(xué)會稱為德國骨科和創(chuàng)傷外科學(xué)會。中國的大骨科學(xué)會稱為中華醫(yī)學(xué)會骨科分會。簡稱COA。創(chuàng)傷外科只是COA的一個分會。這么多年，COA的主席們應(yīng)該把學(xué)科建設(shè)和人才培養(yǎng)放在學(xué)會的首位。為我們國家的醫(yī)療事業(yè)多做實事。而不是整天高高在上，不可一世的樣子。

On April 6th, the Head of the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Salzburg University Hospital of the Paracelsus Medical University (PMU), the President of the Austrian Society for Surgery in 2025, Prof. Freude landed in Shanghai from Munich. It was a rainy early morning, and I together with Véronique picked up Prof. Freude at the Shanghai Pudong International Airport. In the morning, we showed Prof. Freude around the Yu Garden in Shanghai. We walked around this tranquil and delicate Classical Chinese gardens, which was founded in 1557 with an area of 30 acres with English introduction of the garden provided to the professor. For dinner, we enjoyed Shanghai cuisine at the Shanghai Classical Hotel founded in 1875. During dinner, Prof. Freude told us that 6 million people died from COVID-19 globally in the last few years. More strikingly, 40 million people die from trauma injuries or related cases annually around the world. Therefore, it is vital to develop trauma centers in the leading Grade Three Class A hospitals. Trauma Surgery should earn attention as a first-level specialty, as much as Orthopedics does. However, at present, all the hospitals in China list Trauma Surgery as a sub-specialty, which is an absolutely wrong classification. Over the past decades, in Germany, on average there is a trauma center every 50 kilometers, enabling the healthcare system to provide prompt aid for trauma patients. If the trauma injuries are beyond the capacity of the local facilities, the patient will be transferred rapidly by helicopter to the national trauma center for treatment. In Germany, Orthopedics and Trauma Surgery go into one association named German Society for Orthopaedics and Trauma (DGOU), while in China it is called the Chinese Orthopaedic Association, COA for short. And Trauma Surgery is a mere branch of COA. For so many years, presidents of COA should have prioritized specialty development and talent cultivation, So that it could make practical contributions to China’s healthcare system, rather than act so condescending and detached.
