Chapter 83: Overseas Holidays Are Celebrated
That night, Murphy's grandfather stayed at the Iris Clinic, and Murphy's grandmother, mom, and Murphy were all cared for in the clinic.
Zhou Qiao asked them not to go back at night. There are no temporarily hospitalized patients in the clinic, and the beds are sufficient.
Even if the second-floor ward is full, you can sleep on a few beds on the first floor.
At the same time, Zhou Qiao was also faintly worried about this family, either an old man or a woman, strictly speaking, there were two sick numbers.
Murphy's grandfather is naturally sick, and the other one is naturally little Murphy.
She has been autistic for so many years and has always had a defect.
Zhou Qiao originally wanted to improve the security of the clinic, such as hiring a few bodyguards, but now that Aliel and the others open a laundry not far from the next door, this cost is saved.
If anyone dares to come to the door without opening their eyes, Ariel's submachine gun will teach each other how to behave!
Now the bed linen and quilt covers of the clinic, as well as all kinds of clothes to be washed, are delivered to Ariel's store.
It's kind of taking care of their business, but in reality, this laundry doesn't care about business.
To Murphy's mother's shock, the day after the operation, Murphy's grandfather got out of bed and moved!
Zhou Qiao said that he could be discharged from the hospital after another day or two of observation, and it is expected that he will not need to be treated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and only needs to undergo regular reexaminations.
"Follow-up examinations are performed every 1 to 3 months in the first year after surgery, every 3 to 6 months in the second and third years, and annually after 3 years. Well, that's all! ”
Murphy's Mom: "......"
Is it really a tumor? Just make a fuss?
I made a special trip to quarrel with the vice president and resigned! I also plan to divorce and go back to San Francisco to accompany my parents for the rest of my life!
You told me that ...... that's it? Oh, my God~
……
After Murphy's mother was stunned, she still accepted it! After all, it's a very good result!
Murphy's mother looked at Zhou Qiao again, and there was only one thought in her heart, and that was - good son-in-law!
The mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at it, the more pleasing it becomes, even in the United States.
Murphy's mother thinks that such a good son-in-law must let her daughter seize the opportunity!
Two days later, Murphy's grandfather was discharged from the hospital! Seeing that her old father was in good spirits, Murphy's mother was relieved, she went back to Los Angeles to handle the divorce, and when things were sorted out, she would return to San Francisco, planning to find a job in the Bay Area.
Although the security here at night is not good, after Murphy's mother stayed for a few days, she immediately noticed that the day was quite good.
Anyway, the United States is like this, and it is impossible to talk about absolute security.
Los Angeles isn't necessarily much better than San Francisco.
Murphy's grandfather's disease may be relatively unfamiliar to everyone, unlike lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, stomach cancer, etc., which are "well-known".
Neuroendocrine tumors? What the hell is it?
In fact, mainly because of this tumor, it can grow in various parts of the human body, and some of them will also secrete different hormones, so the clinical manifestations can be described as "thousands of people", which is easy to be confused with other diseases.
If the tumor occurs in the lungs, it may manifest as cough, bloody sputum, shortness of breath, etc.; If it occurs in the digestive tract, it may manifest as abdominal distention, diarrhea, blood in the stool, etc., but most neuroendocrine tumors may not have any symptoms in the early stage, and by the time the patient has symptoms of compression, the tumor often grows very large, delaying the optimal treatment time.
Early detection and early treatment are very important for tumors.
The exact cause of the disease is not yet known, and the age of onset is very large, ranging from elderly people in their eighties and nineties, to adolescent children in their teens, and young adults.
Among them, the prognosis of G1 and G2 neuroendocrine tumors is better after scientific treatment, but if it is G3, the treatment will be more complicated and the prognosis will be relatively poor.
Fortunately, Grandpa Murphy is only a G2 type, and he found it very early!
……
Time flies like a white horse, and at the end of September, the property tax bill for the Iris Clinic has finally come down!
That's 117,800 US dollars!
There are two deadlines for payment, one is before November, and there will be a 10% penalty for paying beyond December 10. The second is the deadline in April of the following year, and after April 10, there will also be a 10% fine.
Zhou Qiao's business in the clinic is very good now, so he didn't bother to delay, and paid it on the third day after receiving the bill! Being rich is so capricious!
He counted the cash flow of the clinic, and after paying the property tax, paying various bills for the testing center and the community hospital, he still had a full 160,000 US dollars!
If it goes on like this, it's easy to earn millions a year! Well, it's not easy, it's very busy and tiring.
He took out some money to buy some equipment, such as surgical microscopes, small portable X-rays, and others such as small mobile CT and MRI, which are not necessary to buy, and they cannot afford it for the time being.
At the end of September and the beginning of October, there is a very important festival for the Chinese, that is, the National Day.
The United States also has a National Day, which is on July 4, but Zhou Qiao must have a greater sense of belonging to October 1st!
Engraved in my bones from childhood to adulthood!
There are many Chinese in San Francisco, especially in Chinatown, where a very grand celebration ceremony was held, with red flags unfurled, gongs and drums noisy, dragons and lions jubilant, national flag raised, national anthem played, and military parades played.
On such an important holiday, Zhou Qiao naturally gave the clinic a day off.
Murphy doesn't like lively occasions because of his personality.
So she went home to accompany her grandparents, and as for her mother, she had already completed the divorce in a lightning speed, and returned to San Francisco, already working in a large factory in the Bay Area.
Driving back and forth every day, the commuting time is just over an hour.
Zhou Qiao took Elena and Ava out to play, and also watched the military parade on a big screen in Chinatown.
It is worth mentioning that there are many foreigners who also watch it with relish.
Let's just look at a novelty, because the United States basically doesn't engage in this kind of thing. The main thing is that the United States is fighting everywhere, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, etc., since 1991, it has participated in more than 40 wars, and 11 aircraft carriers are deployed around the world, and there is no need to show muscles through military parades at all.
In addition, the United States is a federal state, and each state is equivalent to the vassal states of ancient China, and there is no unified centralized power.
If he is in China, Zhou Qiao has at least three days off, but when he is abroad, he will also take a symbolic day off.
After all, it's your own clinic, and if it's closed, you're losing your own money!
He bought some small gifts as gifts for the National Day and gave them to the customers who came to see the doctor.
I also called my family, and I originally suggested that my parents come over to have fun, but my old parents were not willing to cross the ocean, saying that it was still stable in the country. Watching the news, San Francisco biubiubiu~ every night, they are timid and dare not come over.
Actually, Zhou Qiao is also biubiubiu~
"Son, be sure to stay safe! If you can not go out at night, try not to go out! "The old father was naturally very worried.
Zhou Qiao smiled and comforted: "Isn't it good that I'm not here?" You can rest assured! ”
Back in China, he really can't make so much money, even if there is a system.
In addition to giving bonuses to Elena, Ava and Murphy, he also gave 15,000 knives to his family, which is equivalent to more than 108,000 soft girl coins. The old father was stunned when he received the money!
