Chapter 17: Midnight Visitors (Asking for Tickets, Asking for Follow-ups)
This is not unachievable.
In order to curb the epidemic of chronic diseases, the FDA has recommended the labeling of "healthy food" on food packaging that complies with the regulations, and proposed a new definition of "healthy food" to limit the intake of sugar, sodium and saturated fatty acids.
More than 80% of Americans are not eating enough vegetables, fruits and dairy products, but instead eat too much added sugar, saturated fat and sodium, and most people do not know what a healthy diet is.
The FDA pays so much attention to healthy food, so it is estimated that vegetables and fruits will be included in the medical insurance.
At that time, this is a big source of income for the Iris Clinic again.
No one knows more about eating than the Chinese!
Well, in doctor's terminology, it's called "food prescription"!
Diet therapy, the Chinese ancestors played rotten things.
Is it a high-calorie food for Chinese stir-frying, putting a lot of oil? No! Because, most of the oil remains in the pot and plate, and not all of it is ingested into the human body.
However, bread and cakes in European and American countries that have been baked know that there is no amount of oil and sugar added to it, and all of these oils and sugars have been ingested into the human body!
It's clear which is the real junk food!
Mrs. Westin's physical examination report was faxed over, there were indeed many minor problems, and most of them were caused by obesity, Zhou Qiao carefully analyzed for her, explained them one by one, and showed high-end and professional ability!
In the end, a specific medicinal diet plan was drawn up for her. Mrs. Westin was very happy, and they began to look forward to what kind of clothes she would buy after she lost weight!
And Mr. Westin, on the other hand, was quietly drinking coffee on the sidelines, very supportive of her!
This is an enviable couple.
Before leaving, Zhou Qiao sent the Westin couple to the gate and asked them that if Mrs. Westin lost weight successfully, he hoped to promote the clinic more. The iris clinic needs this business!
The Westins were very bold in agreeing.
Of course, they still come in regularly, for example, once a week.
……
Ava called to inquire about Cathy's condition, and Cathy was recovering well and had a fever. Her voice became neutral and she could hear it in good spirits, and she was very grateful to Ava for her concern.
In addition, Cathy also attaches great importance to her health, saying that she will come for a health check-up in a few days and make an appointment.
In fact, the Iris Clinic doesn't have a lot of customers at the moment, and there is no need to make an appointment in advance, but Cathy still has enough of the process.
Speaking of "clients", people who come to Iris Clinic want to be called clients or customers, not "patients" or "patients"! They don't want to be looked at differently!
Or rather, they don't want people to think they're sick!
Zhou Qiao was a little funny when he heard Elena talk about this time, and said in his heart that Americans also pay attention to "color heads"!
Is this a disease but not a medical taboo?
……
At nine o'clock in the evening, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the whistling sea breeze not only carried a faint salty smell, but also faintly mixed with a slight smell of gunpowder.
Far away, near, everywhere "firecrackers" are being set off.
This night seems to be extraordinarily intense and long-lasting!
Zhou Qiao hugged Elena, accumulating medical mysteries in the "sound of firecrackers". Zhou Qiaoxin said that it is no wonder that foreigners go to China for the first time and have to get under the bed during the Spring Festival.
Zhou Qiao and Elena are also exceptionally durable.
Two o'clock in the morning.
When the two of them came out of the bathroom and were about to sneak back to their rooms, the sound of running on the street downstairs came from far and near.
Suddenly, two gunshots rang out, Zhou Qiao's heart suddenly, and then he heard that it seemed that the door of the clinic had been kicked open!
The other party broke the lock with a gun and broke the door!
Zhou Qiao and Elena glanced at each other, and their breathing almost stopped.
"You hurry back to your room and hide." Zhou Qiao said quietly and hurriedly.
Elena grabbed Zhou Qiao's arm tightly: "I'm not leaving, I'm afraid, I want to be with you!" ”
"Don't make a fuss, it's safer to hide separately! Remember to call the police! ”
Seeing the sound of footsteps coming upstairs, Zhou Qiao glared at Elena fiercely and pushed her in the direction of her room!
"Joe......"
Zhou Qiao had already run back to the room.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the speed was very fast, but there was no way, Elena just hid in a utility room on the side like a kitten.
Zhou Qiao returned to the room and found the M1911 pistol from the bedside table, just held it in his hand, loaded it, and a hard thing was on the back of his head! He originally wanted to defend himself with a gun and call the police after he felt safe, but it was too late.
"You're the doctor here, aren't you? Throw your little toys away, hurry up, go downstairs and save people! A cold, deep man's voice sounded behind him.
Zhou Qiao had no choice but to put down the pistol, raise his hands, and slowly turn around.
Only then did I see a strong black man of 1.9 meters, like an iron tower, fully armed, wearing body armor, a magazine on his waist, a grenade, a dagger, and a huge assault rifle in his palm, with a black barrel, which was against the back of his head before, and at this time, it was against his head!
Zhou Qiao swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and his voice was hoarse: "I'm ......"
Before he finished speaking, the other party grabbed him, picked him up like an eagle catching a chicken, and ran downstairs quickly.
Although Zhou Qiao is weak, he is seventy kilograms, and the other party is carrying a gun in one hand and him in the other, as if he is nothing!
Soon, I came to the consultation room on the first floor.
Zhou Qiao saw that a woman had been placed on the examination bed, and her injuries were shocking!
She has black hair and brown eyes, her facial features are well-defined, very delicate, her eyes are resolute, not black, a bit like Italian, she is gritting her teeth and enduring pain. Her hair was scattered, her face was covered in blood, and there were multiple abrasions on her forehead.
Her figure is very slender and strong, wheat-colored skin, undulating, uneven, even if she is wearing body armor, she can't hide her proud figure, even if she is injured and lying down, she doesn't look weak, like a wounded lioness, very much King Kong Barbie!
His right hand, the base of his left thigh, his left calf, and his right calf were all red.
Especially on the right hand, even if the bandage was temporarily wrapped around a thick circle, there were still large drips of blood that could not be stopped.
A muscular, thick-haired, thick-lipped black girl, also wearing body armor, is guarding her with a submachine gun. Seeing that the black strong man was carrying someone down, he hurriedly got out of the way.
The black man shouted, "Hurry up!" If you can't cure it, it will kill you! ”
The doors of the clinic have long since been reclosed.
At this moment, there were still gunshots on the distant streets, but the gunshots gradually faded away, and only the sound of Zhou Qiao's heavy breathing and the sound of blood dripping from the black-haired and brown-eyed woman on the examination bed remained in the clinic.
