Chapter 390: The Advantage Is Mine
Take Ted.
Adam took Joe for a CT shot.
"How?"
Joe looked nervously at Adam, who was looking at the CT scan.
"Hospitalize first, Dr. Shept will come tomorrow......"
Before Adam could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Joe.
"Just tell me, I trust your diagnosis. ”
Joe's face turned pale.
In the United States, not all diseases can be hospitalized.
In order to improve the efficiency of bed rotation and ensure a higher profit margin for a single ward, the hospital in the United States will not be hospitalized if you are not hospitalized, and you will be discharged after a few days of recuperation after hospitalization.
Barney should have been discharged from the hospital a long time ago, but he was in a VIP ward and had to pay a lot of money every day, so the hospital didn't drive him away.
Joe knew how high the hospitalization fee was, but at the moment he didn't care anymore, his mind was full of the meaning of hospitalization.
"From the CT scan, the artery at the base of your skull is swollen like a balloon, the subarachnoid hemorrhage, the aneurysm is very large, and the operation will be very difficult. ”
Adam explained: "But don't worry, Dr. Shept is a top doctor in this area, and I trust him to come up with a viable surgical plan." ”
Qiao stayed for a long time before he said in a dumb voice, "How much does it cost?"
"I don't know. ”
Adam shook his head: "The surgical plan has not come out, it is impossible to estimate the cost of treatment, and even if the surgical plan comes out, the cost will be uncertain until the operation is completed, you should know this." ”
In the United States, it is all treated first.
Wait until the treatment is over and two months after you are discharged from the hospital, and the hospital bill will be mailed.
That's when the excitement comes in.
It perfectly interprets the meaning of one eye for heaven and one for hell.
The hospital bill contains all the costs of your hospitalization, and many times it will exceed your limits.
For example, if you think that you may have to bleed heavily, you will have to pay tens of thousands of US dollars, but out of psychological preparation for high medical expenses, the limit is expected to be hundreds of thousands of US dollars.
But the fact is that the bills sent by the hospital are not tens of thousands, not hundreds of thousands, not even hundreds of thousands, but more than one million.
Not surprised?
Surprised?
People who are not in good health, or who have poor psychological quality, may be directly scared into having a stroke and cerebral hemorrhage!
The people of the United States, who have an average annual income of more than 30,000 dollars and are almost all of the Moonlight clan, have to pay more than one million bills from the sky, without eating or drinking, and it will take thirty or forty years to pay them off.
Even if you pay in installments, you will have to repay 20,000 yuan a year, and it will take more than 50 years.
At that time, he is really an eighty-year-old man, who delivers couriers every day and is still paying off the bills.
As for not having money to pay back?
The hospital will tell you!
First come to nothing, and then let you be stained with credit and cut yourself off from society.
You can't control something so exciting.
Because as long as you want to live and get treatment, you have to follow the process of the hospital.
CT should be taken, MRI should be done, and this minor surgery should be done first.
"Don't worry so much, if you want to be happy, you don't have to go to the Princeton University Hospital next door to see Dr. House. ”
Adam comforted.
"That's really good news. ”
Joe smiled wryly.
He had also heard the legend of Dr. House next door.
In the face of incurable diseases, Dr. House will do examinations and drug experiments over and over again.
Before being diagnosed, not only did he have to endure Dr. House's poisonous tongue, but he also had to undergo various examinations, and even before his condition worsened, Dr. House first tossed half of his life with medicine.
Some tests are invasive, and the damage to the body caused by medication is also permanent and irreversible.
After you are cured, after you go back, you will not only have to suffer the sequelae of treatment, but the key is to receive that long bill, which will also make you doubt your life and even have the feeling of tossing early death and early superbirth.
Of course, if you recall Dr. House's poisonous attitude at this time, the patient or the patient's family may kill Dr. House first.
It is only a miracle that Dr. House has been able to live well all these years.
Therefore, it is better to diagnose any disease, even cancer, than to undiagnose incurable diseases.
Observing that Joe's condition was temporarily stable and showing no signs of deterioration, Adam arranged for Joe to be admitted to the hospital and stayed on duty to take care of Joe.
Joe's aneurysm was too large and in a bad position, and there was almost no way to clamp it, which was the biggest difficulty of the operation.
There was only one cutting-edge operation that Adam could think of: static surgery!
Freeze first to lower Joe's body temperature, stop Joe's heartbeat, drain Joe's blood, and put Joe in suspended animation, at which point Joe's blood supply to the brain will also stop, and the risk of a ruptured brain aneurysm will be minimized.
As long as the surgery is completed after 45 minutes and the heartbeat is restored, the surgery will be successful.
Although Dr. Shept performed this surgery, Dr. Burke was most likely invited to assist in the surgical part of the heart blood draw.
Meredith is now at odds with Dr. Shept, and Christina, who was shot by Dr. Burke, is also recuperating.
It can be said that almost no one will compete with him for this operation.
Although it was a little bad, Adam was in a very good mood.
This is a doctor's pursuit of medical skills.
And he and Joe are just nodding friends, not even friends.
Next.
Morning.
Adam was ready to cooperate with Dr. Shepter's examination of Joe.
But Dr. Sheput hadn't come yet, but he was waiting for someone he didn't want to see now.
"Christina, why are you here?"
"I'm fine, of course I'm going to work. ”
Christina smiled and said, "Not welcome? Do you have any good surgery?"
"Did you talk to Dr. Burke?"
Adam smiled quietly: "This kind of thing is better explained." ”
Christina's face darkened.
She is also a genius wolf, and she quickly reacted from this negative emotion, and said with a smile: "I'm going to find Burke, I want to see what surgery makes you care so much, let's say okay first, although I am grateful to you, but I will not give up on surgery." ”
With that, he turned and walked towards Dr. Burke's office.
"Let's talk about it first, don't go through the back door, and compete fairly. ”
Adam spat at her back.
This cutting-edge combined surgery not only requires hard technology, but also time.
Leonard, the 'best candidate' in Adam's mind, has no problem with his skills, but his speed is not as good as that of Dr. Burke, who is in his prime.
Once a cardiothoracic surgeon is invited, even if there is some disagreement with each other because of the matter of the acting chief of surgery, Dr. Sheput will still choose Dr. Burke.
And once Dr. Burke was identified, Adam was somewhat disadvantaged.
He does have the favor of Dr. Burke, but it is obviously not as good as Christina's lover!
Fortunately, Meredith should not come back to stir up, and he still has the favor of Dr. Sheput.
Plus he's Joe's inpatient doctor and the best intern.
His chances should be to crush Christina.
Well, the advantage is in me.
