Chapter 69: There is an iceberg in my heart
The journey was short, and Zhou Qiao didn't have time to think so much, because the testing center had arrived!
Danielle is not out of danger yet, so Zhou Qiao must accompany her.
Otherwise, Elena, Cathy, and Danielle are either women, or old and weak, and the weak one is still sick with a life-threatening illness at any time, how can he rest assured?
He followed, and if something went wrong, he could deal with it in time.
Moreover, 90% of the intersections on the streets of San Francisco have no traffic lights, and to go to the testing center, they have to cross the road and push a hospital bed.
This hospital bed, carrying a ventilator, etc., is very heavy in itself, and if it encounters a downhill road, Elena and Cathy can't handle it at all!
In case you get hit by a car, it's another tragedy!
Therefore, Zhou Qiao has to personally escort him.
If you are at another clinic, sorry, the attending doctor will accompany you personally, this is a fee and it is very expensive.
What, there are some serious diseases, the attending doctor comes to check the room once, and the bill of 10,000 US dollars is generated! The psychiatrist came over to accompany the chit-chat once, relieve the patient's anxious mood, and send a worthless little toy or small gift, sorry, the bill of 10,000 US dollars is here again!
The therapist accompanied the training for half an hour, sorry, the bill of 10,000 US dollars is here again!
Here in Zhou Qiao, unnecessary and not very important operations are all free! Or, just symbolically receive a few hundred dollars, and the meaning will be fine.
It's the conscience of the industry!
Even so, Zhou Qiao feels quite profitable! Recently, the profit of the clinic has been rubbing, and the monthly income is about to exceed 100,000 US dollars! Not counting the ones given by Luo Ya, only counting the clinic patients who are serious.
It is worth mentioning that many patients at the Red-headed Gull Clinic have also been referred to the Iris Clinic for follow-up.
Business is getting better and better, and Zhou Qiao's mood is getting better and better, but he is a little too busy. Recruitment is imminent.
When I arrived at the commercial testing center, Zhou Qiao took little Danielle for CT, and sure enough, there was a high-density shadow from the distal end of the trachea to the entrance of the right main bronchi, and there was a foreign body!
This must be surgical, with Zhou Qiao's knowledge, you can choose laryngoscopy + bronchoscopy + foreign body removal in the right lung under general anesthesia, which is not a problem.
Because after these days of accumulation, his medical mystery point balance once again broke through the 100 mark! That's 113 points!
Exchange a master-level one, it's only 15 points, and there are 98 points left!
He doesn't pursue perfection now, unless he has very special surgical skills, such as debridement and suturing, which are used more, or are very difficult, and the slightest mistake will cause big problems.
As for the rest, to cope with ordinary illnesses, the master-level ones are more than enough.
This operation, Zhou Qiao thought, can also be done in the clinic, so he asked Ava to contact the anesthesiologist at the community hospital, and it happened that Andre was free in the afternoon, so he asked him to come over immediately.
With the video report, with little Danielle, Zhou Qiao and his party returned to the iris clinic.
Poor Cathy, haven't eaten lunch yet. Elena didn't eat either. On the way back, buy a few pieces of bread and milk, and Elena and Cathy will be settled.
After returning to the clinic, Zhou Qiao helped push the bed up to the second floor and swapped with the beds in one of the wards, with Elena and Ava preparing for the operation in full swing while Cathy accompanied poor little Danielle in the ward.
Zhou Qiao came downstairs, and Murphy was still sitting quietly in the rest area reading a book.
"Professor Pascent told me about you, that you might come in a few days, but I didn't expect to be there so soon! Thank you for your help today, the endotracheal intubation is doing a great job. Zhou Qiao smiled slightly and said.
According to his experience, this is also the level of specialization in the system.
Murphy was still pretty, but she came to ask Zhou Qiao for advice, and she was not allowed to leave until she achieved her goal.
Therefore, Murphy plucked up his courage, glanced up at Zhou Qiao, shrugged his shoulders very rarely, and said, "I'm actually the first real person to operate." ”
Zhou Qiao looked surprised, and said very sincerely: "Sure enough, it is worthy of the genius doctor mentioned to me by Professor Pascent, and he is so strong the first time he does it!" ”
If there is no system, purely relying on his own ability, Zhou Qiao still has self-knowledge, the first time he does it, at most entry-level.
When Zhou Qiao's words of praise came out, Murphy was still calm and unmoved on the surface, but the golden virtual panel popped up in Zhou Qiao's mind again.
[The host's own charm +2 is passively triggered again, Murphy's favorability +2, and the current favorability is 54!] 】
Zhou Qiao: What the hell is "......"? Favorability is rising so fast? Wouldn't that be a few days away......
He was a little weak-hearted, and he also felt unreliable, how could a cold girl like Murphy be like that...... Besides, the first time we met, I was thinking about it, which was too ...... It's a bit of scum.
Zhou Qiao felt that he was quite a scumbag, since he had this system.
"I heard that you have graduated with a medical doctorate, where do you plan to work?" Zhou Qiao sat down and chatted without a word.
Murphy was silent for a moment, but still answered, and said softly, "I haven't found it yet." Thinking of this, she was sad. Other classmates or younger students in the lower grades were watching her jokes.
Zhou Qiao comforted: "19-year-old medical doctor, you should be the most powerful medical student I have ever seen." If you really can't do it, you can also open your own clinic like me. Well, my clinic is inherited from my aunt. But it's not difficult to open a clinic in the U.S., and if you need any help, you can come and ask me. ”
After so many days, Zhou Qiao has long been familiar with the process of opening a clinic in the United States.
Especially for new clinics, there are subsidies for choosing hospitals to be affiliated with.
The last time he went to negotiate a contract with a community hospital, he learned that he was affiliated with a community hospital, and there was a subsidy of about 150,000 US dollars per year, which could be obtained for two years. If it is affiliated with the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center, there is about 200,000 US dollars per year, which can also be obtained for two years.
Unfortunately, the Iris Clinic has been affiliated with these two hospitals for many years, and is not eligible for funding.
The staff at the community hospital told him that the Iris Clinic had received a subsidy from them more than a decade ago, so it was not possible now.
Murphy was stunned and silent.
She muttered in her heart, open a clinic? How can it be so easy, you think everyone is as proficient in so many complex surgeries as you are? I also have an advantage in theoretical knowledge, and my hands-on ability is really far worse than that of Dr. Zhou!
Thinking of this, a thought suddenly popped up in her heart, that is, if she could stay at the Iris Clinic and intern here, wouldn't she be able to learn techniques from Dr. Zhou every day?
As for opening a clinic, she doesn't think about it, firstly, the temporary hands-on ability is not good, and the various medical experiences are not rich enough, and secondly, it is too troublesome to open a clinic, and there are too many things to deal with.
She glanced up at the handsome and charming Chinese doctor in front of her, and couldn't help but ask what she wanted from the bottom of her heart: "Doctor Zhou, are you recruiting interns here?" ”
As soon as she spoke, she felt that she was too abrupt, and as soon as she was embarrassed, her face became more and more stiff, and the whole person suddenly exuded a cold iceberg-like feeling.
Zhou Qiao felt her emotional fluctuations, and said in her heart, Murphy is really different. If it is someone else, after making this kind of request, he will definitely smile heaps on his face, or smile and cast an expectant look, hoping that the other party will agree.
But Murphy ...... I refused first!
