When Brian arrived at the Iris Clinic, it was only two o'clock in the afternoon. He was relieved to see that his old father was safe and sound, but he was also a little uneasy, and wanted to take his old father to Santa Clara Valley to see Dr. Dean for treatment.

If you want to say that medical treatment in the beautiful country is actually different from that in China, most Americans basically do minor surgery for minor illnesses in clinics or community hospitals. And it's all the same doctors who run the clinic.

Good doctors, basically have private clinics.

As for large medical centers, such as university hospitals or the very famous Mayo Clinic, they tend to focus on research, teaching, applying for grants, publishing papers, and solving difficult cases.

Due to the lack of clinical experience in common minor diseases, specialists in large medical centers may not be able to perform minor surgeries in private clinics!

If Zhou Qiao's aunt was still there, and the doctors from the clinic were still there, just such a minor operation, Brian would definitely not make a fuss, and made a special trip to ask for leave to come back to pick up people!

"Hello Dr. Zhou, I want to pick up my father!" After Brian met Zhou Qiao, he strengthened his belief.

The main thing is that Zhou Qiao is too young. Now my father's condition is fine, but there are no hidden dangers. Like, what gauze fell inside? Necrotic tissue is not cleaned? Stitched up? Postoperative bleeding? Post-operative infection?

Any hidden danger will cause relatively big trouble.

Brian doesn't want his old father to suffer anymore!

Zhou Qiao smiled faintly and said, "No problem, it's okay." It's just that the bill needs to be settled. Elena~"

"Come on, come on~" Elena heard the cry and immediately took the bill that had been printed out a long time ago.

She was more careful, and when she saw Brian coming, she was still unhappy, so she vaguely guessed the follow-up, so she listed the bill early.

I have to say, Elena is really a capable little helper!

"No problem." Brian took a closer look, and the charge was reasonable.

It's only $12,000, and since Mr. Westin has health insurance, he only needs to pay about $500.

In the United States, health insurance is very important, and if there is no insurance, some hospitals may cost two or three hundred thousand dollars for just one appendix surgery. If nothing else, an X-ray or CT scan alone can fetch more than $10,000. It costs eight or nine thousand dollars to get a drip in the emergency department.

But if you have insurance, it's much cheaper, and you can get a few tens to hundreds of dollars for a minor illness.

Zhou Qiao received $12,000, relatively speaking, the price is still relatively low.

Brian happily paid, then picked up his parents and drove straight to Santa Clara Valley.

He didn't call an ambulance, because ambulances in the United States are very expensive, starting at $2,500, and then charge extra according to the help you need, such as oxygen tanks, stretchers, life support equipment, etc., all of which are charged extra.

Also, ambulances don't go alone, they usually go with police cars and fire trucks, regardless of whether you just need a simple medical help.

Therefore, in view of the fact that the old father was in good condition, Brian directly drove him over in a private car, which was only about an hour's drive anyway.

In addition, Dr. Dean was hospitalized, and Brian was able to visit him after work.

When he arrived at Dr. Dean's office, Brian briefly explained the situation and asked Dr. Dean to help check it out.

Dr. Dean took a closer look and arranged a series of related examinations, and praised the quality of the surgery!

"You said the chief surgeon was a young man who had just graduated?" Dr. Dean asked, somewhat incredulous.

Brian nodded, "As far as I know, it does. What, Dr. Dean, is there some hidden danger left by the surgery? ”

Dr. Dean shook his head and said, "No. The quality of the surgery is quite good! There will be no sequelae or complications, don't worry! As for the little doctor you mentioned, it's really amazing, at such a young age, he already has such a superb level! ”

Dr. Dean felt that even if he did it himself, it might not be as good as Zhou Qiao's surgery.

When Brian heard this, he realized that he was wrong to blame Zhou Qiao.

The Westins were even more fortunate, and at the same time, they also trusted Zhou Qiao more and decided to support Zhou Qiao more in the future.

As they get older, they need to have regular monthly check-ups, blood sugar, blood pressure, lipid screenings, and so on. In addition, Mrs. Westin also wants to lose weight and needs professional health guidance.

Not for beauty, but for longevity! After all, obesity can bring a lot of diseases.

After accumulating it, there is a lot of money in a year!

Private clinics are all about repeat customers. If Zhou Qiao knew that there was an old couple who were diehard, I am afraid that he would wake up with a smile in his dreams.

Such an old couple, one hundred and eighty couples, the profitability of the iris clinic is very impressive!

In fact, Zhou Qiao is in a good mood now!

Because, Mr. Westin's order, he earned more than 3,600 US dollars.

This is his estimated net profit after deducting all costs, including the testing company's testing fees.

There are another thirty or forty such "big lists", and Zhou Qiao feels that the money for property tax should not be a problem.

Of course, solving the property tax is only a basic living guarantee, ensuring that the house will not be taken away by the state government, and the two beautiful white little sisters will not wander around.

In the evening of the same day, Zhou Qiao invited his two white little sisters to Chinatown for a hot pot to celebrate the opening of the clinic.

He's really tired of eating hamburgers, so he wants to have a spicy taste!

Elena, like him, also likes spicy food, and is full of praise for Chaotian pepper and millet pepper. Ava prefers to be lighter.

So, they ordered a mandarin duck pot.

Zhou Qiao sandwiched vegetables for Elena from time to time, and occasionally sandwiched Ava, for fear that Ava would be suspicious.

"When I have time, I will take you to Chongqing, China, and eat authentic Sichuan spicy hot pot! The kind that is guaranteed to be spicy and cool, and you can breathe fire in your throat after eating! ”

"Okay, okay!" Elena was looking forward to it very much, and then secretly rubbed Zhou Qiao with her foot under the table, tickling his heart, and said that if you don't provide me with a seventeen or eighteen medical mystery point at night, I can't spare you!

Ava shrugged her shoulders and said, "I want to see your legendary Jiangnan in China." In the past, Anna often talked about what she said about the picturesque ...... of Yanyu Jiangnan", but she said it in Chinese.

Raised by Anna and living near Chinatown, Elena and Ava both know a few words of Chinese. It's just that, after all, they are not biological, and Anna did not spend much effort teaching them Chinese.

Maybe it's also because they are not Chinese in the first place.

"Mm-hmm, definitely!" Zhou Qiao thought to himself, if he brought such two beautiful white little sisters back to China, it would be really face-saving!

There was a commotion outside, and Zhou Qiao hurriedly touched the gun on his waist. Fortunately, it was just a fight between two homeless men, and it subsided quickly.

Zhou Qiao is relatively timid, even in Chinatown, he carries the only hot weapon in the clinic - an M1911 pistol! This is a very classic gun, more than a hundred years old!

However, it still works! It is powerful, simple and stable in structure, has experienced the baptism of many wars, and has endured! Although it has withdrawn from the field of military and police, the major gun manufacturers in the United States are still producing various improved, commemorative and craft models of the M1911, which are deeply loved by Americans.

It is a pity not to play with guns when you come to the United States. It's a pity that he has been busy and has no spare time to practice marksmanship.

In addition, in the entire clinic, only this one gun is a bequest from Aunt Zhou Qiao.

If you want to buy a long rifle or something, you can only buy a single shot. If you want to experience the various firearms in the chicken, it is probably impossible. Unless he goes to enlist.

Of course, to be a soldier for the Yankees, that is impossible! He came to inherit the clinic, he came to collect American wool!

After eating, Zhou Qiao took Elena and Ava to shop at the night market in Chinatown. Here, it has become a food pedestrian street.

People come and go, bustling.

A police car was parked on the side of the road, and the voice of the policewoman recorded on it kept looping, and it was especially speaking Chinese, which was a bit blunt and sounded strange:

"If you don't have a sales permit, you have to pack up and leave, it's a warning, if I come back, we'll take your property......"

Zhou Qiao: "......" is not easy to set up a stall no matter where it is!

At night, Elena sneaked into Zhou Qiao's room again.

The medical mystery point has grown steadily again from zero.

It's 24 o'clock this night!
