Super Doctor Surgery Class

Abstract

People who are bad at drawing can't become painters, people who are bad at playing musical instruments can't become musicians, and people who are bad at sports can't become athletes. Strangely enough, even people who are clumsy with their hands can become surgeons, and what is often overlooked is that, unlike art and sports, surgeons directly affect people's lives and bodies. [Solution] Just like abacus classes, piano classes, English classes, calligraphy classes, and swimming classes, if surgical classes were established and children practiced surgical procedures using cadavers such as pigs from a young age, they would already be surgical masters by the time they are around 20 years old, the age when ordinary medical students first pick up a scalpel.

Description

Technical Field

[0004]

[0001] The present invention relates to a Super Doctor Surgery Classroom, which is a hobby classroom that teaches surgical techniques to those aiming to become surgeons from childhood in order to improve the international technical level of advanced medical care.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, since hobbies are the learning achievements of the cerebellar region that controls motor nerves, starting to acquire skills from an early age results in overwhelming progress compared to starting after adulthood. Athletes, artists, and experts who are active as professionals in various physical performances, including sports, music, and languages, all have the common characteristic of starting to acquire skills at a young age. Just because skills are acquired from an early age does not guarantee success in that profession, but there is at least a possibility. Conversely, if skills are not acquired from an early age, it is guaranteed that they will not be applicable in that profession. Excluding cram schools whose purpose is entrance examinations rather than hobbies, hobby classrooms for children and students include traditional staple ones such as abacus classrooms, piano classrooms, English classrooms, calligraphy classrooms, and swimming classrooms. Little teams for major sports such as baseball, soccer, and golf are also a type of hobby classroom. When including non-major ones such as judo, kendo, table tennis, go, and shogi, a diverse hobby market and culture have been formed.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] For parents of elementary school-aged children, when deciding what extracurricular activities to enroll their children in from a wide variety of options, we offer a "Surgery Class" as a new choice in addition to the existing standard classes. Students attend the class after school or on school holidays, and under the guidance of an instructor, they aim to hone their skills and improve their surgical techniques (including endoscopic surgery) as a hobby. They will primarily practice and improve their skills in cardiovascular surgery, respiratory surgery, digestive surgery, neurosurgery, and orthopedic surgery. Similar to piano or violin, the level of the tasks will increase as the years go by to improve their skills. Eventually, they will be able to perform organ transplant surgeries, including heart transplants, and highly advanced neurosurgical procedures on their own. Instructors, a practice operating room, medical equipment, medicines, surgical instruments, and other necessary materials and supplies will be provided. Pigs will be used as the surgical subjects because they are the closest in size to the human body. This invention is a super doctor surgical training program with the above configuration. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] 1. A nation that implements a "surgical training" system can secure a large number of super-doctors capable of performing highly advanced surgeries, thereby advancing to become a world-leading medical power. 2. Advanced surgical procedures, which were previously performed by a small number of doctors worldwide at exorbitant costs, will become available to a large number of doctors, improving the survival rate of patients with intractable diseases and contributing to the public welfare. 3. The traditional medical training process involves entering medical school at age 18, studying general education for two years, and only picking up a scalpel for the first time after the age of 20. This means that no matter how academically outstanding a doctor may be, the late start to acquiring surgical skills makes it difficult to cultivate personnel capable of performing world-class surgeries. This new approach solves that problem. 4. Since the examination, diagnosis, and treatment plan determination will be effectively handled by physician-assistant AI with significantly fewer errors, it will be possible to enhance the "craftsmanship" of surgical procedures, which remains the only area where human physicians have an exclusive advantage. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0007] [Figure 1] This is an explanatory diagram of the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0008] The following describes embodiments for carrying out the present invention. This is a type of extracurricular activity class based on the concept that children who dream of becoming super doctors participate in local surgical classes to practice surgery, just as children who dream of becoming professional baseball stars participate in local youth baseball teams and practice baseball, regardless of whether they can actually become such doctors. The components are: (1) Instructors with knowledge, experience, and qualifications in surgical procedures. (2) Operating rooms and other facilities, equipment, instruments, and various items. From large equipment such as cardiopulmonary bypass machines to small tools such as catheters, forceps, Coopers, and Kochers, pharmaceuticals including anesthetics, oxygen, blood for transfusion, clothing, consumables, etc. (3) Mannequins used for surgical practice. Pigs, which are the closest in size to the human body, will be used. The pigs typically go from pig farm → slaughterhouse → meat processing plant → wholesaler → retailer → consumer, but this will be partially changed to pig farm → surgical classroom → meat processing plant… (4) Management and operation. Student recruitment and tuition collection will be the same as for existing standard after-school classes. The classes will be held on a regular schedule after school or on holidays. (5) Teaching policy. The focus will be solely on acquiring and improving surgical techniques; medical knowledge will not be taught. Knowledge education can be acquired at university in the future.

[0009] Regarding the procurement of various necessary equipment, machinery, instruments, and supplies, regardless of whether it is a medical institution or research institution, some medical supplies can be delivered simply by ordering from manufacturers or trading companies and paying the price. On the other hand, some medical supplies cannot be obtained without authorization, permission, or approval. For example, designated narcotics for anesthetics, designated drugs under the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law, poisons and deleterious substances, and high-pressure gases are difficult to obtain if there are restrictions on their purchase and storage. (Blood for transfusion is collected at meat processing plants rather than discarded.) This problem can be easily solved. All that's needed is a legal amendment. Considering a future where indecisive developed countries fall behind the leading group in international competition in the medical field, or are overtaken by decisive developing countries, there is no particular problem in creating an amended bill with special provisions and passing it through parliament. After all, it is the job of politicians to constantly update laws to keep up with the changing times. If it is beneficial for the development of their country, they must amend the law and move forward with the times. History has proven that fundamentalists who strictly adhere to the rules set by their ancestors without changing them even a millimeter will be left behind by the times, decline, and head towards extinction.

[0010] When we consider professions, you can't become a professional painter unless you're good at drawing. You can't become a professional musician unless you're good at playing an instrument. You can't become a professional athlete unless you're good at sports. But strangely enough, you can become a professional surgeon even if you're not good at surgery. If you have excellent academic records, get into medical school, and choose surgery, you can become a surgeon regardless of how clumsy your hands are. When a surgery is successful, a surgeon says it was a success, but when it fails, they never say it was a failure, they say it was too late. If we consider this a social problem, what solutions are there? If the primary requirement for a surgeon is that they are good at surgery, what are the benefits and disadvantages that this brings to society? First, from the perspective of those in power who govern society, society is composed of a core structure and its peripheral parts. The core structure consists of the lives, bodies, property, and rights of the people. The peripheral parts consist of commerce and daily life. Therefore, the medical profession, which governs life and the body, and the legal profession, which governs property and rights, must be paid three to four times the compensation of general businesses engaged in commerce. For example, (1) When a ground survey was conducted to build a house, it was said that columnar ground improvement was necessary, and numerous piles were driven into the ground. In reality, minor surface improvement would have been sufficient. (2) When a roof leaked, a sheet metal worker was taken to inspect it and told that it was corroded extensively and that it was time for a complete replacement, so the work was ordered. In reality, the roof was fine, and the cracks could have been repaired by filling them with a single strand of sealant. (3) When a car's windshield wiper stopped working, an auto repairman was taken to inspect it and told that the motor needed to be replaced, so it was replaced. In reality, the motor was fine, and only one fuse had blown. These are common episodes in the civil engineering, construction, and automotive industries. These industries are the fringes of society and therefore do not have an impact on the national system. However, if a society were to emerge where doctors falsely present benign polyps as malignant cancer and perform unnecessary surgeries for profit, the people would not tolerate the state's governing structure. Therefore, the state must ensure that doctors never suffer financial hardship. Except for socialist states, in free-market economies, especially in developed countries, doctors' salaries are far higher than those of ordinary workers. In countries with health insurance systems, the salaries of doctors, medical corporation directors, hospital directors, etc., are all compulsory contributions from the public. If doctors' salaries were at the same level as ordinary workers, the amount deducted from the salaries of ordinary workers could be reduced to one-third to one-fourth. However, no matter how much it costs the public, the maintenance of social order must always be prioritized. While not as extreme as the medical field, the banking industry, being a fundamental part of the economy that handles the nation's assets, maintains social order by prohibiting bank employees from borrowing from consumer finance companies and instead paying them higher salaries and bonuses than ordinary workers. Therefore, in the "Surgery Class," medical knowledge unrelated to surgical techniques is not taught, but "ethics" are thoroughly instructed. Those who are endowed with special talent, or who are fortunate enough to have the opportunity to acquire special talent, are taught that they must use that talent not for their own benefit, but to serve society. Students who are planning to become super doctors and make a lot of money in the future are excluded.

[0011] Considering the case of the pigs used in the practical training, humans categorize animals by type: protected animals, livestock, and game birds and animals. Protected animals are those kept as pets and are protected by the Animal Welfare and Management Act, which prohibits killing, abusing, and abandoning them, and violations are punishable. Livestock are animals eaten for their meat and are not subject to protection. Game birds and animals are animals killed for pleasure and are also not subject to protection. Such classifications are a selfish human line drawn regarding the lives of all living animals. The pigs are put to sleep with general anesthesia in the surgical classroom and then die without ever waking up. Therefore, at least they have a more physically peaceful end than being doused with water and electrocuted in a slaughterhouse. Pigs are classified into elite pigs, ordinary pigs, and lower-class pigs depending on where they work. Elite pigs become high-end ham for gifts at top companies like XX Ham Co., Ltd., are displayed in first-class department stores, or go to luxury hotels and party venues. Ordinary pigs go to small and medium-sized businesses, regular supermarkets, and restaurants. Lower-class pigs go to canteens, school and nursing home cafeterias. There are also super-elite pigs, which have the honor of being served on a large platter in the center of the table at state banquets, venues that ordinary citizens never get to enter even once in their lifetime. However, the highest honor is attained even higher by the surgical training pigs, who, even if they are lower-class pigs, played an indispensable role in training super doctors who have made significant contributions to the advancement of medicine and the well-being of humankind, and who dedicated themselves wholeheartedly to this cause.

Claims

[Claim 1] The Super Doctor Surgery School is a "specialized training school" that aims to enhance international competitiveness in the medical field by training super doctors who have acquired outstanding skills in surgical procedures. Targeting minors and students, it provides instructors with surgical knowledge, experience, and qualifications, an operating room, various medical equipment, tools, medicines, oxygen, blood for transfusion, and other necessary materials to help them acquire surgical techniques. By using pigs and other animals as practice subjects and practicing repeatedly, the school is designed to improve surgical skills over time, similar to sports or music.
