Chapter 376 Don't go to the emergency room

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; American black bears are not as big as brown bears, but their attack power is really not weak, and they may not be able to catch up with the Kodiak brown bears, but they are definitely much stronger than Asian black bears. An adult American black bear can weigh more than 500 pounds and stand more than two meters tall. In terms of its attack power, it is also second only to **, brown bears, tigers, and lions, and is the fifth largest carnivore in contemporary times.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; This thing can run fast, swim fast, climb trees fast, and if it is determined to want humans to make food, there is no way for humans to escape. So the two girls looked desperate.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Just when the two of them were already desperate, what happened in front of them made them doubt their eyes: they saw a figure appear in front of them, resisting the frontal attack of the American black bear, and even twisted around and threw the American black bear to a stumble.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; The figure suddenly howled, and the two girls were startled, which was clearly imitating the cry of a brown bear. When the American black bear heard the howl, it barked twice and then turned away.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; "Are you all right?" Who is it that appeared in front of the two of them, not Xiao Peng?

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; "Who are you?Cherokee?" Megan's question made Xiao Peng doubt her intelligence.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; "Where do you think I look like a Native American?" Xiao Peng asked Megan, pointing to his face.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; These 'Native Americans' are actually Indians, and now in the Stars and Stripes, blacks can't be called blacks, they should be called 'African minorities', and in the same way, Indians can't be called Indians, they must be called 'Native Americans', otherwise it's racial discrimination.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Uh, there are two most commonly used names among black people, one is 'brother' and the other is '', but it's limited to calling black people that way, you go and call them '' and try to pull out a gun and you every minute.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; And more than 20,000 hectares of land in this Great Smoky Mountain belong to the Cherokee tribe of Indians. The ancestors of the Indians were Asians, who arrived in the Americas through the Bering Strait and bred here, and ethnically speaking, the Indians, like most Chinese, were of the yellow and Mongolian races, so it is not unreasonable to say that the faces are similar.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; But Xiao Peng's skin is very white! The skin color is completely different from that of the Indians, okay? If you say that the black charcoal head of the fierce son is still excusable to the Indians, and say that Xiao Peng is an Indian? It is definitely a problem with his eyes! No, there is a problem with his brain!

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Dilda hurriedly said: "This gentleman, thank you for rescuing us, my name is Dilda, this is Megan, the one lying on the ground is Michael, Megan is not good at socializing, don't mind." ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Xiao Peng shrugged: "Okay, I don't mind, my name is Xiao Peng, a native of Huaxia, why are you here?"

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Deirda said, "To introduce myself, I was studying biological sciences at MIT, and Megan and Michael were biology students. We're doing a paper on the Great Smog Mountain ecologically, so come here and do a field trip. ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; "Why don't you run here by yourself with the teacher, it's too dangerous, right?" Xiao Peng frowned.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Megan coughed dryly: "Mr. Xiao, if you don't mind, let's go back and talk again, okay?" Michael is seriously injured now. We came out in a hurry."

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Xiao Peng looked at Michael's wounds: "The bones are broken, and there are lacerations, what has he been through?

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Megan said embarrassedly: "You see, we brought a lot of instruments, and we really can't get the first aid kit." ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Xiao Peng pouted: "Are you crazy?

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Dilda said: "We didn't know it was going to happen, Michael fell off a cliff and broke his leg and had so many injuries on his body. ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;" And the concussion, of course, the first thing to deal with was his trauma. Xiao Peng added.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; "Sir, do you have any medicine for trauma?" Dilda asked.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Xiao Peng grinned: "There is no medicine, only food." ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; "Food?" Dilda and Meghan were stunned.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; I saw Xiao Peng take out a red bag from the back, and after Xiao Peng opened it, there were all kinds of colorful bags inside, and there was a small **.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Xiao Peng first opened a small bag, took out a plaster from it and pasted it on Michael's head, and then took out a surgical gauze dressing from another bag to clean the wound, and after cleaning it, he took out a small red pill from a small ** and stuffed it into Michael's mouth to help him take it, and sprinkled the white powder in the small ** on Michael's traumatic wound. After doing all this, bandaging the wound with the elastic bandage in the small bag, and tying the blood vessels with a triangular scarf After everything was done, Xiao Peng patted the wound: "It's done!"

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; "It's a pity that I don't have any fracture fixation supplies in it, such as a rolled bone splint, otherwise it would have been perfect." Xiao Peng looked at Michael's wound and was quite satisfied with the bandage.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; "This is the food you're talking about?" both girls were dumbfounded.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Xiao Peng nodded: "That's right, this thing is our Huaxia treasure, but in your Stars and Stripes country, it's really a kind of food." ”

According to the detailed rules for the secrecy of Chinese and Western medicines and medical devices, the classification of relevant varieties is divided into three levels: top secret, secret, and secret, and the top secret level protection refers to the secret items that are unique to our country and will cause serious harm and heavy losses to the country once the secret is leaked.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; There are only two top-secret Chinese medicine preparations in the country! The formulations of both drugs are kept secret in perpetuity. This is granted by the State Secrets Bureau, and the scope of confidentiality covers the formula, process, etc., even the domestic Chinese medicine industry insiders have never known the composition information of Yunnan Baiyao.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; But there has been a farce here, as we all know that all food and drugs that want to be sold in the Stars and Stripes must be certified by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the Stars and Stripes. A distributor of dietary and herbal supplements submitted an application to the FDA to sell Yunnan Baiyao tincture as a 'dietary supplement' in the Stars and Stripes. The FDA rules that if it is used as a dietary supplement for food, the ingredients must be disclosed, so all the ingredients of Yunnan Baiyao have been announced.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Once this thing was released, it caused a shock in China, and many people said that this matter was like a pearl of the Chinese people, and it was the sadness of the Chinese people who were played with as a glass ball by the stars and stripes.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;uh, calm down. First of all, these disclosed parts are only part of the ingredients of Yunnan Baiyao, and secondly, the development of traditional Chinese medicine is very complicated, even if you know the ingredients and dosage, but do not know the drug introduction and production process, it is difficult to imitate. Just like Coca-Cola, they don't patent either, but for more than a hundred years, no one has cracked it so far!

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;This leak of the white medicine formula is not so much a leak of secrets, but more like malicious competition.

But in any case, one thing is true, in the country of Stars and Stripes, this Yunnan Baiyao is really not a drug, even on the sales website of the country of stars and stripes, it is stated: "This product is not intended to diagnose, treat or prevent any disease." "Xiao Peng said that he was food, and there was really nothing wrong with it.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Anyway, the effect of this sobering patch is really not covered, about three minutes later, Michael woke up leisurely, and the bleeding from the wound was stopped. The two girls watched and cheered.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; "Michael, you're awake!" Meghan exclaimed excitedly.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Dilda's focus is obviously not here: "Xiao, what kind of medicine is this? It's amazing, isn't it?"

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Xiao Peng shrugged: "This is our Chinese medicine, and you Xingquand people don't recognize this medicine." ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Dilda excitedly said: "This is simply a miracle medicine, your Huaxia is simply amazing! I feel that you are a people who can do magic! Michael, how do you feel?"

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Michael moved, the pain in his leg made him take a deep breath: "What's wrong with me?"

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Megan explained: "You came across a hummingbird moth and accidentally fell off a rock while taking a picture of it. ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Michael frowned and thought for a moment: "Oh, I remember, I 。。。。。。 He saw that his wounds were bandaged.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Meghan introduced: "Michael, it was this Chinese Xiao Peng who saved you. ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Michael wanted to thank Xiao Peng, but the expressions on his painful face were distorted. Xiao Peng patted him: "Forget it, buddy, you hold on a little longer, there are still about four or five kilometers away from the nearest camp, which is not far, but with such road conditions, it is really difficult to walk through." ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Meghan frowned: "What can I do?"

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Xiao Peng tilted his head and saw a knife in their luggage: "Okay, you wait for me." After speaking, he carried the knife into the forest, and after a short time, he watched Xiao Peng walk back with a few wrist-thick branches.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Xiao Peng untied the paratrooper rope bracelet on his wrist and made a simple towing stretcher out of these branches, he put Michael on the stretcher and dragged Michael on the road.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Megan and Dilda followed behind with the luggage of three people, and the one who walked was called a slow one. In desperation, Xiao Peng asked for the luggage of the two of them, and continued to walk with the two of them for more than an hour, finally walking out of the primeval jungle and returning to the camp.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; "Dude, what are you playing with?" Yang Meng looked at Xiao Peng carrying a few big bags and dragging a simple stretcher, which was a bit weird.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Xiao Peng said: "Don't mention it, find someone to help, this guy needs help." ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Dilda asked, "Xiao, does your phone have a signal here? Our mobile phone service provider doesn't have a signal here." ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Xiao Peng said to Yang Meng: "Mengzi, use the satellite phone." ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Yang Meng took out the satellite phone from the car and handed it to Xiao Peng: "Hurry up, turn off the phone after the call, I don't want Nikki to scold me, when I open my eyes, the person is gone." ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Xiao Peng coughed twice and handed the phone to Dilda. Dilda dialed the distress number directly. As a result, Michael's face turned green next------ the insurance he purchased was only valid in the state where MIT is located, which is the Greater Boston area. If he wants to be treated now, he will only be covered by health insurance if he returns to the Greater Boston area.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; When his parents found out about this, they didn't hesitate to tell Michael, pay for treatment nearby! Don't go back to a private hospital with high costs! Don't want this insurance!

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; It's not that they don't feel sorry for their son, it's that they can't afford to transport Michael back to Boston.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; In the Stars and Stripes, the fastest car is definitely an ambulance, and every driver is a racer-level. As long as the horn is heard, all cars have to avoid it, and they will not hesitate to rush onto the road.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; But the people outside the car looked very breezy, and the people lying in the car didn't think so. There is a saying in the Stars and Stripes: Don't call an ambulance until you have to, even if you're about to fall unconscious.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; The price of an ambulance in Australia is high enough, and the Stars and Stripes are even higher, starting at $550 per trip, and there are so many charges on it that make people hurt to the point: relatives want to get on the bus to accompany the patient? Hello, charge per capitation, exceed the starting fee? $4 per mile, and not only charge for the ride, everything on the bus is charged, from a stretcher blanket to even a bandage, that's money.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Someone said, can you find medical insurance reimbursement? Well, the vast majority of health insurance in the Stars and Stripes countries refuse to include 'ambulance emergency expenses'. In the Stars and Stripes, 'don't call an ambulance if you don't die' that's something everyone knows. Even many patients with chronic epilepsy wear a medical bracelet on their wrist that says 'Please do not call an ambulance'。。。。。。

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;This is not the coolest, the coolest thing is that someone helps you dial and does not explain the situation, at that time you are very likely to see the stars and stripes three cars out of the police: ambulances, fire trucks, police cars come together, and the cost of a trip is half a year's income of ordinary people in China. That's sour, imagine it yourself。。。。。。

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Many international students who come to the Stars and Stripes country summarize the survival rule: if you are sick, endure it, and return to China for treatment. The money for an ambulance is enough for a check to return home.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Michael was taken from the Great Smoky Hill camp to a local hospital for an ambulance costing up to $200!

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Of course, this is a drop in the bucket compared to his medical expenses. According to estimates, it will cost 30,000 US dollars to cure his illness. (Lao Yang has a friend who has a fever and cold in the United States, went to the hospital, and several doctors came, you gave some opinions, I gave some opinions, and finally spent 8,000 dollars, after deducting insurance, and paid 1,600 dollars.) οΌ‰

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;It seems that it would be cheaper to send it back to health insurance, right? Naive, because Michael is going to be transported back to Boston, he has to contact H, which is the air ambulance. The Dassault Falcon 0 business jet is equipped with an advanced, on-board IU equipment, two pilots, two first responders, and can take a patient plus an immediate family passenger, not to mention how much it costs to use the equipment on those planes, from the Greater Boston area to the Great Smoky Mountain, a round trip of 1,000 kilometers, and the flight cost alone will cost 36,000 US dollars! This is still a preferential price.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Someone else would rather spend money on treatment here, right?

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Those friends who have some minor problems and are not in good health at every turn should not study abroad, and go to the hospital twice and suddenly go bankrupt, it is definitely not a dream. $200 medical insurance for a semester, never save it, otherwise。。。。。。

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; So many people complain that Huaxia's medical care is not good, they should really be sent to the Stars and Stripes Country to see, what is the Stars and Stripes Country's medical level is higher than that of Huaxia?

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Don't talk about money is better than quality?
