Chapter 15: The Three Gangs of Blood
In order to prevent further surgeries and a lack of anesthesiologists, Zhou Qiao took Elena to the community hospital.
Talking to the person in charge over there, a lease agreement was signed for the operating room.
The iris clinic itself actually has an operating room, and it used to have its own anesthesia team, so unless it is a very major operation, I will go to the University of California Medical Center to rent an operating room, usually, what can be done by a nearby community hospital, and what can be done by the iris clinic can also be done.
But now, isn't the anesthesiologist leaving? If you recruit again, the cost is too high, and it is better to rent it in a community hospital.
Due to the lack of a basis for cooperation between the Iris Clinic and the community hospital, the monthly settlement agreement could not be negotiated, and the final terms were confirmed to be charged on a per-use basis.
For this, Zhou Qiao reluctantly accepted it, he now has some money in his hands, and he can afford to pay it.
Besides, when the wool comes out of the sheep, it will be buckled out of the patient.
Although the amount paid by the patient is relatively small, the commercial health insurance and the government's medical insurance fund have the lion's share, and it is nothing more than a few days late to arrive, and Zhou Qiao needs to advance a little money first.
In addition to operating rooms equipped with anesthesiologists and nurse anesthetists, the community hospital also promises that as long as Zhou Qiao has the ability and technology, they can also provide many other medical activities and equipment, such as thrombolysis, intracranial aneurysm stents, organ transplantation, heart bypass, joint replacement, etc.
Although these may not be needed in the short term, they are charged according to the number of uses anyway, and there is no need to pay if they are not used, so Zhou Qiao still asked the other party to add them to the agreement.
There is no monthly discount, and the only use of this agreement is that it is equivalent to saying hello in advance at the community hospital, filing for the record, and when you come to have surgery in the future, you only need to make an appointment call, and you don't need to approve various documents separately.
Community hospitals require appointments at least one day in advance, and even better if they are three days in advance.
Because there are too many private clinics, many small clinics are not even as good as irises, and some do not even have operating rooms.
Anesthesiologists at community hospitals are also busy.
As for the University of California Medical Center, which belongs to a higher-level hospital, it is estimated that Zhou Qiao will not be able to receive such a complicated operation for the time being, and even if he encounters it, other patients will not let him do it, at most, the Iris Clinic will refer the patient to the past.
……
After Zhou Qiao immigrated here, he has been busy and hasn't had a good time, Elena and Ava have also been working for many days in a row, so Zhou Qiao gave everyone a holiday and let them take themselves out to visit the famous attractions in San Francisco!
San Francisco is surrounded by water on three sides and has beautiful scenery, so sailing on a yacht is actually a great option.
Just imagine, a private luxury yacht, a young and beautiful white bikini twin beautiful girl, tsk, it is infinitely reverie, but unfortunately, now Zhou Qiao has no money.
So I had to drive around in a classic car, and the Golden Gate Bridge was the first choice.
This is a sea-crossing bridge that connects downtown San Francisco to Marin County in the north, located above the Golden Gate Strait, and is a San Francisco landmark!
It is also one of the largest single-hole suspension bridges in the world, with about 100,000 cars rumbling over the bridge every day.
After a lapse around the Golden Gate Bridge, they went to Lombard Street, one of San Francisco's most attractive streets, known as the most crooked street in the world.
From Langba Street to Levon Street, a short block with eight sharp turns, and all downhill!
There is a slope of about 40 degrees, which curves like a "Z" shape, and the car can only go down one way.
In order to prevent traffic accidents, the San Francisco authorities specially built many flower beds, there are hydrangeas in spring, roses in summer, chrysanthemums in autumn, and it is summer at the moment.
Hence the name "Lombard Street"!
Ava drove, Zhou Qiao and Elena sat in the back row, whenever there was a sharp turn, Elena screamed loudly, involuntarily pounced on Zhou Qiao, and secretly pinched him!
Zhou Qiao: "......" This chick is now more daring than me!
Ava had to concentrate on driving, but she didn't have time to pay attention to the endoscope, and the two people behind her became more and more bold under the cover of the girl's screams.
Fortunately, this street is not long, and after opening out, Elena's face was flushed, and she couldn't help but say to her sister: "Ava, why don't we go back and do it again, it's too exciting!" ”
Ava said, "Wow, wow, this time it's up to you!" I was so nervous just now that I almost bumped into it several times! ”
Elena hesitated suddenly, she didn't want Zhou Qiao and Ava to squeeze around, so she hurriedly said: "I suddenly remembered that there is also a very interesting Fisherman's Wharf, let's go over there to eat big sea crabs!" ”
"Wow, wow, it's been a long time since I've eaten a big crab! However, the sea crab at this time should not be fat enough! ”
San Francisco is surrounded by water on three sides, and the nearby waters are rich in a variety of seafood, including crabs, shrimp, abalone, squid, sea urchins, salmon, mackerel and cod, and the best time of year to enjoy seafood is between November and June, and July and August are a little worse.
But in coastal cities, there is actually no shortage of seafood all year round.
In the past few days, Zhou Qiao has been a little weak, and when he ate seafood, he killed fifty oysters! Well, it was Elena who ordered it for him.
Ava loves abalone, but Elena likes to eat sea urchin and cod.
"When the clinic's business improves, I'll invite you to eat king crab!" Zhou Qiao estimated that at the end of the year, it was the time when California king crab was plump, and at that time, the clinic was estimated to have made a lot of money and was a little more comfortable.
"Mm-hmm, but talk counts!" Between the two little girls talking, they stretched out their palms, and Zhou Qiao smiled slightly and high-fived them.
He secretly thought in his heart, when you have money, let alone eat king crab, then take you to the world for vacation, live in the most luxurious hotels, eat the most expensive food, and enjoy the best life.
After killing a large table of seafood and eating it full, the three of them went to play on the beach.
Elena and Ava were running barefoot and sandals on the beach, the graceful posture of the white girl, the crystal skin that was better than snow, the sweet smile and the laughter like silver bells, all intoxicated Zhou Qiao.
When it was getting late and the sun was setting on the beach, they had to go back.
Because, the night in San Francisco is not safe.
There are many gangs active here, and recently, the news reports show that there seem to be three gangs, a cripple gang, a blood gang, and a 18th Street (M18), and the three forces are often fighting each other, and there are bloody fights almost every night in the middle of the night!
These three gangs, compared to the declining mafia, are more numerous, more violent, more disorderly, and farther from mainstream society.
