TaiXing People’s Hospital is the last stop of our trip. Director of the Department of Cardiology Chen Zhen is our good friend. Although he is the chief director of the Department of Cardiology at a highest-level hospital in TaiXing, he is actually very young. From communicating with their department, you can clearly feel that the team he leads is very energetic.
Compared with 2019 before the epidemic, the department is more fully prepared for this medical exchange. The report and discussion of two critical cases were conducted entirely in English, which made our communication much smoother and the atmosphere more lively. According to Director Chen Zhen, he is already teaching and helping others in an orderly manner. In the cath lab, Director Chen said that compared with four years ago when only two or three doctors completed the cath lab project independently, now there are more than a dozen young doctors in the department who can do their jobs independently.
Where there are foresighted leaders, there will be departments with continuous and sustainable development. Director Chen has many small goals for the construction of the department. He told us with a smile that he will strive to "retire" in five years. He only cares about the general direction and young people in other departments will take charge. He also built a wechat English discussion group for difficult cases with me and Dr. Sia who came from cardiac department of Quebec City.
Director Chen, who is still very young, is really care about his department. We have reason to believe that his department will get better and better under his leadership.
