Beijing Tieying Hospital went to Arizona State University to participate in a behavioral health exchange program (Alberta Times) Mo Mo Report) At 5 pm on December 5, the Desert Spine Medical Research Institute of the well-known Chinese doctor Yang Tong in Phoenix welcomed many doctors from Tieying Hospital in Beijing, China. They were led by Dean Sun Peiyun, chief physician of the Department of Neurology, and participated in a visiting delegation from the behavioral health program of Arizona State University. Dr. Ronald R. O’Donnell, director of the ASU Behavioral Health Program, took the visiting group to the clinical frontline to let them experience the basic system of the American medical system. Xu Kailai, a Chinese doctor from the Mary Cooper Medical Association, and John X. Hu, a medical examiner, came to the scene to welcome the Chinese doctors who came from afar. The visiting group took photos with local Chinese doctors. Dr. Yang Tong first took the visiting group to visit his medical research institute. There are operating rooms, consultation rooms and wards like a small hospital. Dr. Yang Tong is famous in the industry for his pioneering "Young's transforaminal endoscopic disc nucleectomy". His institute is a very targeted institution that combines research and practice. Dr. Yang Tong (right) takes President Sun Peiyun (middle) to visit his operating room. Regarding Obama's health care reform bill, President Sun Peiyun consulted Dr. Yang Tong for the views of frontline medical staff. Dr. Yang Tong expressed his opposition to Obama's reforms. Doctors need to be paid for many things they have made efforts, and not everything can be free. Just like other countries in Canada, there are many free medical services, but their citizens do not receive the treatment they deserve. They have to wait many months for a chance to receive treatment. This is not good for patients or doctors, and Obama's health care reform may make the U.S. medical system worse. Dr. Yang Tong also learned from President Sun about the situation of graded hospitals in China. President Sun said that there are currently not many private hospitals in China, but after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Prime Minister Li Keqiang stated that in the next ten years, more investment opportunities will be provided for overseas high-end medical personnel. President Sun welcomed Dr. Yang Tong to return to China to invest and provide high-quality medical services to Chinese residents. The local doctors had a cordial exchange with the delegation and said goodbye at 6:30 that night. They hoped to have more exchange and cooperation opportunities in Beijing or Phoenix in the future.
