Once, Zheng Jianguo had never heard of this scene, and in his previous life, many reports talked about how good the welfare of the United States was, and at least 890% of the medical expenses were reimbursed, which became a topic that many young patients talked about from time to time.

Whenever someone mentions this topic, the patients and their families will scold them again by the way for not having medical insurance and agricultural cooperative insurance, and they have to pay all of their own expenses, even if they have medical insurance and agricultural cooperative insurance, they have to bear four or five percent, saying that if they are sick, they will be poor until before liberation.

It wasn't until he arrived in the United States in this life that Zheng Jianguo discovered that most of the rumors he heard in his previous life turned out to be true.

Since the vast majority of medical expenses are incurred during hospitalization, health insurance organizations have established a set of evaluation criteria to measure the rational use of medical resources, which are used to control insurance expenses and strive to reduce the number of days in hospital for patients.

At the same time, this evaluation standard also promotes the standardization of medical staff in the business, requiring patients to be admitted to the hospital for about 5 to 7 days at the time of acute illness before reaching the recovery period.

They are then transferred to a relatively low-cost nursing home or home care center, or simply show up at the doctor's office.

Of course, patients who can be included in this evaluation must have Medicare, which is the subject of compulsory federal insurance, and Medicaid, which allows participants to receive 90 days of hospitalization and 100 days of technical care per year.

The most important thing is that unless both occur in the same year, there is no individual payment.

In addition to this compulsory insurance, there is also a voluntary supplementary health insurance to cover the cost of out-of-hospital medical care (medicines and other medical services incurred after calling an ambulance), which in 1980 was $5 per month.

Of course, in addition to federal insurance, there is also health insurance based on the provision of private insurance companies, and its various plans make up for the limitations of people outside of federal insurance and meet the different needs of different groups of people.

This part of the expenditure accounts for nearly 40% of the entire medical expenses in the United States.

It's just that even in the United States, which is a beacon in some people's hearts, this near-free medical treatment is not available to everyone.

If a person who has not purchased insurance is sick and has an accident, then he will be like the middle-aged man crawling at Zheng Jianguo's feet, when facing the large group of doctors who treat and save people, it seems to see the Grim Reaper wielding a huge scythe: "I'm fine, I'm not sick-"

The middle-aged man who was shouting shouted and got up, looked at several doctors with a frightened face, and then quickly turned around and ran away, but at this moment, the little policeman Akon seemed to have discovered something: "Stop, you kicked and injured Dr. Alfonso-"

"No, let him go—"

Alfonso looked at his blackened wrist and said quickly, Akon couldn't help but look back at him, and said in an unkind tone: "Doctor Alfonso, you are too kind-"

"Zheng, you take Dr. Alfonso for a check-up—"

Nathan assigned Zheng Jianguo as if he had nothing to do, and Zheng Jianguo nodded and handed over the single rack in his hand to the other party, looking at Alfonso's wrist and frowning: "Are you soft-hearted?"

"Just like your kindness to that girl, my father said that kindness is a good virtue that only a strong person can have, and not a reluctant acceptance of revenge, I can hold this person accountable for personal injury.

But he doesn't have any money, and if he had money, I'd make him lose it until he regretted it, but he only had his life left, and I saved him from death, and I couldn't do that—"

Shrugging his shoulders with a disapproving face, Alfonso glanced at Zheng Jianguo as if he remembered something, and then said: "Zheng, don't tell the truth to Magnion, I'll answer what she wants to ask——"

"Okay. ”

Nodding silently, Zheng Jianguo felt that this second-class rich man could see it so openly, but he thought about the education that people received since childhood, so why not adults don't remember villains: "It's a pity that you can't participate in the operation in the past two days." ”

"Priny also prepared me for tomorrow's gallbladder surgery. ”

Alfonso said and entered the emergency room and stopped, only to turn to look at Zheng Jianguo and was about to speak, only to see that the emergency room door that had just been closed was knocked open, and Pliny and Nathan ran in with an ambulance: "MVA car accident casualty 25 years old, pulse 150, blood pressure 50, unable to intubate, blunt trauma to both abdomen, capillary filling index - get out of the way - Zheng you come here." ”

"Oh, okay—"

Just hid by the wall and wanted to stick himself on the wall, Zheng Jianguo saw that Pliny, who had already flown away with the roar, suddenly called himself, so he turned his head to look at Alfonsuo, who was also posted on the wall, and said: "It's better for you to make a shooting list for yourself, anyway, you're not short of that money-"

“——”

Without finishing half a sentence, he threw down Alfonso, who was speechless, Zheng Jianguo had already caught up with the emergency bed that was about to disappear at the door of the debridement room, and saw Plini's eyes looking at him, which was mixed with unprecedented sharpness: "Zheng, how many times have you seen intubation?"

"38 times, 39 times if you count this time. ”

Zheng Jianguo didn't think about it, but after he finished speaking, he remembered something, and saw Pliny speak: "Then let's intubate—"

"Me?really?"

Zheng Jianguo was stunned for an instant, Pliny had already followed the ambulance to the debridement room, so he tilted his head and looked at Nathan, who was listening back and forth on the wounded with a stethoscope, and saw the director speak: "The sound of breathing has weakened, there is a drum sound on the right side, ready to decompress-"

"You've seen it so many times, let's intubate him—"

Pliny said very easily, but after falling into Zheng Jianguo's ears, he felt that the blood was boiling, the full name of intubation, tracheal intubation, is the main means of rescuing patients with respiratory dysfunction, and it is a routine operation that can only be accessed by Alfonso.

According to the normal process, Zheng Jianguo will not be able to come into contact with it until half a year, so he quickly arrived next to Pliny at this time, and the nurse assistant had already spoken: "The muscle relaxant injection has been completed——"

"Local anesthesia complete—"

The anesthesiologist's voice sounded, and Zheng Jianguo took the hose sleeve handed by the surgical nurse, held the patient's chin in his left hand with his right hand and opened it, and immediately said after looking at it: "There is too much internal bleeding, and blood needs to be drawn-"

"I'll come—"

The surgical nurse quickly turned around and took the aspirator to the side, only to see that with the disappearance of blood in the mouth, Zheng Jianguo also picked up the hose, and Pliny next to him observed his line of sight at an angle that was almost close to his face, and looked at his movements and opened his mouth to guide: "Gently advance to the near epiglottis, then raise the hose, pay attention to the position of the vocal cords - don't touch the esophagus!"

"Hmm!"

Unconsciously let out a muffled snort, Zheng Jianguo controlled his hand not to shake, and slowly inserted the tube into it, and after Pliny had already spoken: "Very good! Now I can take him to the operating room——"

"Hmm!"

After snorting unconsciously, Zheng Jianguo swallowed his saliva, and as the door of the debridement room opened, Pliny and Nathan pushed the wounded on the emergency bed and left: "Good job! Zheng——"

"Boom—"

With the sound of the automatic door closing, Zheng Jianguo was locked in the debridement room that was still full before, and after feeling the rare silence, Zheng Jianguo slowly clenched his right hand that was a little shaky, and a bright smile appeared on his face: "Ha-"

"Zheng, don't be happy yet, I have a patient here, I need you to come and have a look-"

I don't want the smile on Zheng Jianguo's face to bloom yet, the door of the debridement room was pushed open again in the flash of the figure, Carter shook the dirty pigtails on his head and said to him, Zheng Jianguo didn't expect that his dark appearance would be seen, and immediately strode to his side, and said in a comfortable mood: "How is Alfonsu's wrist?"

"It's troublesome, after Magion cleaned him, Alfonso said it should be a broken scaphoid bone-"

Worrying flashed on Carter's dark face, Zheng Jianguo's previous pleasure disappeared in an instant, and he said, "I believe he will have no problem, what's the matter with this patient?"

"He explained that the postcard jumped up and cut him—"

Carter took Zheng Jianguo to the door of the debridement room next door and said, Zheng Jianguo also saw the situation inside through the glass, a blonde man was saying something to Manion who was cleaning his wounds, so he looked back at Carter after listening to the complaint, and said with a suspicious face: "Postcard?"

"Yes, he kept saying that the postcard in his house jumped up and cut his hand-"

Carter shrugged his shoulders again and said, Zheng Jianguo looked at the debridement room again, and said at the same time: "Then it's useless for you to look for me, you have to find the gentlemen upstairs to come down and have a look, psychiatry or psychology-"

"Okay, Dr. Zheng~ I'm going to call the gentlemen down. ”

Carter said and turned to leave, Zheng Jianguo found that Magnon inside turned his head, so he reached out and pushed the door open: "Manion-"

"I don't want people of color to see me!"

The middle-aged man with a white bandage on his hand quickly stood up, his pale face showed anxiety and roared loudly, and then after turning left and right twice, he poked out his short and thick fingers and poked at Manion: "Always, always, don't see me with colored people, don't!"

"Sir, please sit down, what you have in your hand—"

Ma Niong quickly got up and made a gesture Before he finished speaking, he saw the middle-aged man quickly shake his head and step out a few steps, and when he arrived at the door, he poked out his finger with a fierce face and poked Zheng Jianguo, with a hideous expression: "I don't want to, never, I don't want to, I won't let people - never." ”

Subconsciously took a few steps back and opened a safe distance from the other party, Zheng Jianguo's actions obviously satisfied the middle-aged man, looked at him and nodded: "Yes, that's right, go away, get out of here-"

"Sir, are you sure you won't let me treat you?"

Sweeping from the face of Manion who had already arrived in front of him, Zheng Jianguo looked at her again after speaking, the humanistic care of the United States is still relatively in place, and the doctor needs to take the other party as the center when facing the patient, if this product really insists on not letting him see it, then for the purpose of considering the treatment of the patient's condition, he still needs to give in: "Manion, please take care of him, I have asked Carter to call the gentlemen upstairs." ”

"Okay, Dr. Zheng—"

When Manion looked at the middle-aged man in front of him speechlessly, Carter in front of the service desk had already put down the phone and said, "Doctor Zheng, gentlemen will come down soon." ”

"Bell bell bell—"

The phone that had just been put down jumped again, Carter picked it up and listened to a few words, and then looked at Zheng Jianguo: "Doctor Zheng, someone is looking for you." ”

"Ask him who he is, I still have patients here. ”

Remembering that it was not a call to his home and the office of the digestive center, Zheng Jianguo immediately shook his head and said loudly, and sure enough, after Carter asked a few words, he put down the phone, raised his head and said, "He hung up the phone without answering." ”

"I don't know what kind of reporter it is. ”

Zheng Jianguo tilted his head before he said, the pager in his pocket then shook, and he reached out to look at the information, and when he took a few steps to the front of the service desk, the figure of psychiatric gentlemen had already appeared in the corridor, and Carter hurriedly poked his finger over: "The patient is in the debridement room 2." ”

"Okay, leave it to us!"

Seeing that this group of gentlemen turned into the debridement room, Zheng Jianguo, who was dialing the phone, looked at Carter: "So many people are coming, it seems that they are indeed very idle-"

"Who knows, they've never been busy at all!"

Carter said with a look of approval, Zheng Jianguo's phone had already been dialed, only to hear Celia's voice coming after being picked up quickly: "Boss, Qian Yunjia is here, and the secretary of the Aurora school department wants to talk to you about the laboratory-"

"Did Mr. Aurora say when you will see me?"

After frowning slightly, Zheng Jianguo heard Celia speak: "Mr. Aurora is here, I'll give him the phone-"

"Hey, Zheng, it's been a long time, I want to talk to you about the lab this time, Thomas and Celia, now that Professor Thomas's lab is funded by Congress, and for reasons of your status, the FBI does not recommend that you continue to participate in the research in the lab.

As a force majeure clause in the employment agreement, the college originally planned to accept the FBI's recommendation and terminate the previous employment agreement with you, but I heard from the secretary of the school board that the college is preparing to establish a bioengineering major, and I thought if this employment agreement could be changed, I wonder if you have any ideas?"

Aurora's voice was a bit of a businesslike notice, but Zheng Jianguo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard it, as far as he knew, participating in congressionally funded projects was the dream of all scientists in the United States.

In addition, the FBI used this excuse, and Zheng Jianguo was not surprised that MIT could do this, but what surprised him was that MIT was going to prepare for a bioengineering major, so he immediately frowned and said: "If I refuse to accept it, can I continue to rent the MIT laboratory?"
