Chapter 88: Seafood and Fried Street
In fact, Aliel still underestimated the market, not at least 50,000 US dollars, but at least 100,000 US dollars. Black-hearted clinics or hospitals can even do two or three hundred thousand US dollars!
The bill came out, and there was no place to cry.
Because there is no medical insurance, the other party can set the price at will, and the lawsuit cannot be won. Of course, Ariel will not go to court, but will only go with people, with submachine guns. But then there will be a lot of trouble, not to mention anything else, it will definitely affect Billie's studies.
Ariel naturally doesn't care, but Billie is still a junior high school student.
Zhou Qiao was not polite, so he accepted it, he did not lose money by collecting 15,000 US dollars, and collecting 20,000 yuan was earning thousands. But Ariel has a bold temperament, and it doesn't make much sense to worry about her in this regard.
It's just a suggestion to Ariel, or buy a health insurance for Billie, after all, Billie's identity is clean and completely operable.
Ariel said that she would consider it, this was her previous negligence and did not fulfill her responsibilities as a cousin.
Another reason is that Ariel's status was relatively low, she had not been promoted to the captain of the squad, and she had not taken over the laundry, and she spent as much as she wanted, and she still had to raise Billie, which was not very rich.
If Billie has a mixed configuration of medical insurance, this single can cost tens of thousands of dollars from federal medical insurance and insurance companies!
In order to celebrate the success of Murphy's first surgeon, Zhou Qiao took Murphy, Elena and Ava to Fisherman's Wharf again on the weekend to eat seafood and watch the sea view!
People are not machines, so the iris clinic also has holidays, working six days a week, with Sundays off, about 8 hours a day.
Of course, if a patient is hospitalized, he may have to work overtime at night or on Sundays, go to ward rounds, change dressings, and deal with emergencies in a timely manner, then it will not be counted.
That is, at least 48 hours a week!
This is Zhou Qiao's private clinic, and the working hours are normal among their counterparts in the United States, and even the labor intensity is low, which is not too oppressive.
If it is a big hospital, there are more doctors and nurses, and there will be shifts.
But doctors are really a busy profession, even in the United States, it is a long working time, many of which are equivalent to single rest, and some have to see the results of blood samples after work at night, CT films, which are not easier than domestic doctors!
The United States is actually a relatively volatile country, especially California, which does not raise idlers, let alone lazy people.
According to Glassdoor, a job survey website, the average U.S. doctor works 60 to 80 hours a week. Since doctors have to complete their work in six to seven days, they often have to work 12 to 16 hours, often staying up late. That's a high number, even one or two times more than a lot of people in other industries.
Of course, there are naturally differences between different specialties and different levels of doctors. For example, the emergency department, or the junior doctor, is a little harder.
They went to a seafood restaurant this time, the Dungeness crab is quite large, basically more than 2 pounds, about 60 knives each, fried on a special iron plate, plus a unique sauce, lemon butter, Nanyang flavor, original sauce...... A variety of flavors can be freely matched, which is a must.
Naturally, there are several kinds of Elena's favorite hot sauce, which makes her so happy!
Zhou Qiao and the others ordered a total of four big crabs, one for each person, it is estimated that the girls can't eat them all, plus a super-large seafood platter, including crayfish, prawns, clams, oysters......
In addition, one person also came with a bowl of oyster Qiaoda soup.
This soup is not served in a bowl, but a piece of giant bread is dug open to the "Tianling Gai", and the inside is partially hollowed out to become a "bread bowl", and then the rich and fragrant thick soup is poured into the "bread bowl".
The bread is golden and crispy on the inside, and the flavor is quite unique and delicious with a slightly salty oyster soup.
Then the size of the big crab is very large, the meat is so thick, and the crab meat is full of mouths, and the feeling of eating it is really refreshing!
Zhou Qiao had eaten hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake in China before, and then he didn't like to eat them. It's not because it's not delicious, but it's special, it's too troublesome!
There are also the so-called crab eight pieces, professional crab eating tools.
Once Zhou Qiao participated in a banquet and saw that the hairy crab was particularly fat, so he took one to gnaw, and when he finished gnawing it, he raised his head, I went, and the dishes were eaten up by others!
And the meat of hairy crabs is too little, especially the delicious crab roe, just a small bite, and the crab legs are even more chicken ribs, it takes time to eat, don't eat it, it's a pity to abandon it!
Zhou Qiao felt that this kind of big crab was still enjoyable to eat! Of course, the meat quality is slightly inferior to that of hairy crabs, and it is not so delicious and tender.
This time, there were a lot of things, mainly because the crabs were too big, and the combat effectiveness of the three girls was average, so in the end, almost half of the crabs were left and pushed to Zhou Qiao.
There was saliva from three beauties on it, Zhou Qiao didn't mind, and ate it with relish.
Each pier of Fisherman's Wharf is numbered, and there are fishing boats or cruise ships parked, Zhou Qiao pondered, and when he has money in the future, he will also buy a boat to play, drive a yacht to sea, accompanied by bikini beauties, I don't know how comfortable.
The life of the king is nothing more than that.
But at present, Zhou Qiao can only hope for a while, the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard!
Walking along the boardwalk along the pier, you will see a super mini island with exquisite houses and towers, and a sea lion show nearby.
San Francisco is full of singing and dancing during the day, especially at Fisherman's Wharf.
Many street artists are holding musical instruments and performing selfless performances.
For example, an old man with a scruffy beard is holding a saxophone, half-squinting, half-bent over, immersively playing a very soothing tune.
There was also a white beauty with long straight hair in tawny, with long ears and dressed as an elf, who was playing a harp, listening to the tune that seemed to be a city in the sky.
After walking dozens of steps, there was a faint familiar tune, and Zhou Qiao hurriedly rushed towards the crowd in front of him.
What made his eyes light up was that it was indeed a Chinese girl playing, she was in her early twenties, dressed in Hanfu, her pretty face was covered with a thin light veil, her figure was slender, her curves were slender, her facial features were exquisite, she was sitting in a precarious position, and a zither was placed in front of her.
Many foreigners were watching over there, taking pictures or filming videos, Elena and Ava holding Zhou Qiao's hand left and right, while Murphy followed alone with a blank face.
"Wow, what a tune!" Elena praised.
"Yes, it has a very special taste, I can't put it into words! In the future, we will also play this in the operating room. Ava hurriedly looked at Zhou Qiao and asked, "Joe, do you know what kind of song this is?" ”
Zhou Qiao said: "Of course I know, it is familiar in China, the sword is like a dream!" ”
Ava nodded repeatedly: "Mmmm, I'll choose this next time!" ”
