落花时节又逢君

周五晚上我在广州一家米其林餐厅等待一位德国著名脊柱专家餐叙。他曾在世界微创脊柱大师Mayer教授的医院工作过。他在东莞市中医院五天的国际客座教授的工作已完美收官。今晚他将从广州飞回法兰克福。他就是德国赫利奥斯医院集团罗特韦尔分院骨科、创伤及脊柱外科主任Kroeber教授。其所任职的医疗集团是德国最大的私立医院运营集团。创立于1993年，拥有7.6万名员工，每年接收病人高达550万人次。2022年营业额高达70亿欧元。该集团在这30年间创立了强大的医疗网络，各个分院间都能进行快速信息共享，将不同种类的病人转运到各分院的特色专科进行快速治疗。Kroeber教授所任职的罗特韦尔分院的骨科就以脊柱外科为主要特色，仅仅50张病床的骨科，每年却有3500台手术，非常高效。这一周他在东莞市中医院的工作：门诊、查房、病例讨论、手术指导、科室管理培训以及大师公开课。东莞市中医院的骨科医院将于2026年全新落成，这将更好服务东莞千万百姓。这两年时间，Kroeber教授在德国为南昌和武汉两家三甲医院培养了两位德国临床医学MD博士。现在全世界的著名专家都愿意帮助我们。因为我们的祖国强大了。

On Friday night, I was waiting at a Michelin-starred restaurant in Guangzhou for a dinner with a famous German specialist. He used to work with the world-class minimally invasive spine surgery master, Prof. Michael Mayer at Schön Klinik München Harlaching. His 5-day visit at Dongguan TCM Hospital as an international visiting professor has come to a perfect end. And he will fly back to Frankfurt from Guangzhou tonight. He is Prof. Markus Kroeber, the Director of Orthopedics, Trauma and Spine Surgery of Helios Clinic Rottweil. Helios is the largest private hospital group in Germany. Founded in 1994, it has over 76,000 employees, receives up to 5.5 million patients per year, and has 7 billion euro sales volume in 2022. Helios has built a strong medical network during the last 30 years to share information rapidly among every hospital and transfer each kind of patients to different specialized hospitals for efficient treatment. The Orthopedics Department of Helios Clinic Rottweil, where Prof. Kroeber serves as the director, develops spine surgery as its main specialty. The department has only 50 beds but performs 3,500 surgeries per year with high efficiency. This week, his work at Dongguan TCM Hospital includes outpatient consultations, ward rounds, case discussions, surgical guidance, lectures on department management as well as public classes. Dongguan TCM Hospital will finish building a brand new orthopedics building in 2026, which will provide better medical services for millions of people in Dongguan. During the last two years, Prof. Kroeber has been cultivating two M.D. students from two Grade III-A hospitals of Nanchang and Wuhan in Germany. Now famous specialists all over the world are willing to help us because our country is getting stronger.
