Knowing that Zhou Qiao was in a hurry to leave and return to San Francisco, Governor Hulk urged Zhou Qiao to ask for the bill.

Zhou Qiao took out his laptop, remotely logged in to the clinic settlement software, and calculated on the spot, so that the other party could pay 2.03 million US dollars this time.

The secret medicine is 2 million, and the other 30,000 is the out-of-pocket part of the operation cost.

In addition, on the side of the federal health insurance and insurance companies, you can also get about 150,000 Daole.

Originally, he was still thinking of sending a bill to Governor Hulk in a few days, after all, this amount is a bit large, and although the governor is rich, he may not be able to come up with so much liquidity at once.

Unexpectedly, Governor Hulk had already prepared 5 million in cash, and immediately wrote a check for 2.1 million Dao Le, and the extra was considered a tip.

As for the remaining more than 10 million, Governor Hulk is also preparing, as long as he is given ten days and half a month, not to mention 10 million, even if it is 100 million, he can take it out.

Governor Hulk and Zhou Qiao made an appointment for their next surgery, about February 18.

At that time, the Chinese New Year had already passed, and it was estimated that the medical mystery points had accumulated again.

Zhou Qiao glanced at the twin sisters, and said in his heart, go back this time, exchange it for the kidney strengthening capsule again, it will be hard for you!

Elena and Ava looked at his eyes and immediately understood, and the two of them screamed in their hearts, no hard, no hard!

They also noticed that it seemed that Zhou Qiao would become particularly brave every time he passed.

In fact, the quiet period of the strong kidney capsule has passed.

"Thank you, Dr. Chow! It's a pity that I can't take you to the airport! Veronica was reluctant.

"Hehe, take good care of your illness, relax your mind, and after half a year, you will be a big beauty again!" Zhou Qiao said comfortingly.

Veronica looked at Talia and said, "Talia, can you send Dr. Zhou and them on my behalf?" ”

Talia blinked, and immediately agreed: "No problem! ”

Governor Hulk personally sent them out and watched them get into a special car, as for the airport, he didn't go, and had already arranged a private jet.

He is busy with official business, and he has to accompany his daughter, there are too many things to leave, and he really can't leave.

As for the red wine he said before, he had already asked the driver to prepare it and sent it to the plane in advance.

It was the treasure of Mr. Governor, and more than 20 years ago, his own winery carefully brewed fine products, the stock is not much, and the average person wants to drink it.

When Governor Hulk returned to the ward, he saw his daughter looking out the window in a daze, so he couldn't help but go up and gently touch her bald head, and said with a smile: "Little baby, with a famous doctor like Dr. Zhou, what are you worried about?" ”

Veronica said, "I'm worried about Dr. Zhou's safety, Daddy, you said that if something happens to him, then I won't have anyone to heal?" Daddy, you send bodyguards to protect him! ”

Governor Hulk smiled dumbly and said, "You don't have to be too nervous. Rest assured, I've taken care of the officials in San Francisco and will take care of Dr. Chow and his iris clinic. No one will be in trouble with him. ”

Moreover, Governor Hulk has also checked Zhou Qiao's bottom in the past few days, and learned that he and Luo Ya have a good relationship, and there are also many members of the Violent Queen's Security Company next to the clinic, where there will be a threat to life.

He threatens others about the same.

The Violent Queen Organization has many security companies, laundries, fast food restaurants, and mercenary legions outside the country, and the wealth it holds is very amazing, and it has evolved into a huge monster, even the Hulk Governor is now faintly jealous.

In particular, Luo Ya, a woman, also has a lot of other official identities, and her connections are complicated, and she is colluded with the interests of some bigwigs, which is very difficult to provoke.

I heard that she is still planning to obtain the status of a Texas senator recently. I said I wanted to contribute to my hometown!

He didn't know how Luo Ya, a woman with no background, grew up. Probably, everything requires talent.

Loya is a person who is naturally suitable to be a leader!

Just like Dr. Zhou, it is hard for him to imagine that Zhou Qiao is so young, how can he be so powerful in medical treatment, and he can overpower so many experts from school!

On the second day of Zhou Qiao's return to San Francisco, some people came.

Because, as soon as the news media reported and the news came out, many people were stunned. Some female celebrities or wealthy people who were also burned in the Hawaii fires came to hear about it.

One of them, the daughter of a councilor, was the first to come, and after she saw the report, she went to visit Veronica in person, and naturally admired Zhou Qiao's treatment effect very much, so she begged her father to bring it over.

The governor has "endorsed", how can this congressman doubt it? After coming, he was very humble and polite.

The second patient is a wealthy man, his house in Hawaii was not burned down, but when he went to the beach, he encountered a fire in a café and was swept in the face by the sudden fire.

At that time, the water was in dire straits, the mobile phone also fell into the sea, and the female companion who was traveling with him was also lost, unable to call for help, so he could only go with the flow, watching the raging fire on the shore sweep everything, and his mind was at a loss.

The third patient is a female star, who is more famous than Simone, but not as good as Talia, and also has multiple burns on her body.

Fortunately, the burns of these people were far less than Veronica's, and Zhou Qiao kept some medical points for backup, so he made an appointment with these people for surgery, and helped these three people solve their illnesses in about two weeks.

Because their injuries were relatively minor, medical expenses ranged from $2 million to $4 million per person.

In the end, it added up to more than 10 million dollars again.

Counting the 2.1 million paid by Governor Hulk before, the 1 million given by Adriana, other bits and pieces and the original cash of the clinic, Zhou Qiao's assets at this moment have exceeded 14 million US dollars.

According to the current RMB exchange rate, 1 US dollar is exchanged for 7.28 yuan, which is already a proper billionaire in China!

Of course, when the tax is paid, it may fall back again. Taxes in the United States are too heavy!

And the IRS is very strong and pervasive, Zhou Qiao was thinking about whether he could evade taxes at first, but then he paid his taxes honestly.

Because Luo Ya told him that although she also has an identity in the IRS, it is a pity that the various groups of IRS inspectors do not belong to each other, and it is okay to avoid taxes reasonably, and there is no need to fight against the state apparatus for this.

The "armed collection of taxes" by IRS inspectors has always been brutal, and this group of people has far more power than the police or even the judges.

They can inspect all of the taxpayer's asset records in accordance with the law, freeze assets, confiscate property, close private homes, auction off assets until they close the tax loopholes, and even put suspects in jail without going through a court trial.

Although after paying taxes, Zhou Qiao became a "multimillionaire" again, but isn't it that Veronica still has more than 10 million US dollars unpaid?

His "unique secret medicine" is here, this business can't run, and the more than 10 million yuan will be his own sooner or later. At that time, even if you pay taxes and convert them into RMB, you will still be a billionaire. Not counting the fixed assets of the clinic house.

Zhou Qiao sighed, fortunately, he didn't sell his house and return to China at that time, otherwise, where would he achieve a small goal so quickly?

He looks forward to the day when small goals can also be achieved on the dollar.

Naturally, there are far more people with burns, but Zhou Qiao's charge is too expensive, so some people who don't have financial resources are discouraged.

Zhou Qiao also happens to be running out of points and needs to save up for Veronica's treatment next month.

But Zhou Qiao's reputation as "the first person in California medical aesthetics" has spread, and he believes that in the future, all customers who need to remove scars with a little money will choose him here.

……

Iris Clinic, Internal Medicine Clinic.

Rachel is treating a grandmother in her seventies, Farah.

Grandma Farah came to see her a few days ago, and Rachel thought it was a common cold, so she prescribed it, but who knows, five or six days later, it still doesn't get better, and the cough is getting worse.

So, Rachel arranged for Grandma Farah to take a CT shot, and now, Rachel is watching the film.

Then it was found that the grandmother's lower lung image was whitish, which indicated some kind of inflammation in the lung tissue.

"Dear Ms. Farah, you have pneumonia in your lungs, I'll prescribe you another anti-inflammatory drug." Grandma Farah took the prescription and went out to buy medicine.

But a few days later, Farrah's grandmother came back for a follow-up visit and took a CT scan again, but it was still not good, and the situation worsened.

Rachel asked, "Farah, did you really take your medicine on time?" ”

Grandma Farah was surprised and said, "Of course I have!" After saying that, I couldn't help but start coughing.

Fortunately, Rachel wears a medical mask and the clinic also has an air purifier.

Rachel pondered for a moment, then said, "Wait, I'll call the other two doctors over and have a consultation." ”

She thinks that Grandma Farah's condition may be a bit complicated.

As she used to do when she worked in other clinics, she was referred directly to a major hospital.

However, she has spent a long time in iris and understands Zhou Qiao's temperament, that is, no matter what the disease, she can see it as much as possible, and she will not be referred until it is absolutely necessary, at least, she has not seen Zhou Qiao refer patients.

Of course, Zhou Qiao's medical skills are also really powerful, and almost every patient he meets can be treated in the best way.

This is also one of the reasons why she really admires this little young doctor from the East.

Zhou Qiao and Murphy came over, both wearing masks.

Then, Rachel gave a detailed account of Farah's grandmother's condition and showed them two CT scans taken by Grandma before and after.

"It's obviously inflammation in the lungs." Zhou Qiao said.

Grandma Farah had also heard of this young Chinese doctor, and knew that many people in the community respected him very much, so she anxiously asked, "Then why did I take anti-inflammatory drugs for so many days, but I didn't get better?" Is an infusion going to be performed? ”

Zhou Qiao shook his head and said: "There is inflammation in the lungs, which may be caused by many reasons, some of which are related to infection, such as community-acquired pneumonia, which is the infection of bacteria in the lungs, which can be improved by treating it with antibiotics; Some are related to viral infections, and antibiotics are ineffective against viruses, which require antiviral drugs and, in severe cases, short-term hormone therapy.

In addition to bacterial and viral infections, some autoimmune diseases can also cause lung inflammation, which requires other drugs and long-term treatment with hormones and immunosuppressants.

If the real cause is not clarified, rash infusion is also ineffective. ”

"So what's going on with me? What medicine should I take? Grandma Farrah was dying, coughing as she spoke.

In the past few days, it feels like her heart is going to cough up. And when the people around her heard her coughing, they were like avoiding snakes and scorpions, which made her very embarrassed.

Zhou Qiao smiled slightly and looked at Murphy: "What do you think?" ”

Naturally, he wanted to test Murphy, which was a natural medical seed. As for himself, there is a system, and the real cause has long been known.

Murphy pondered for a while, glanced at Grandma Farah's rough hands, got up, came to the grandmother's side, and said, "Can you check your hands for me?" ”

The old grandmother said, "Of course you can." ”

She stretched out her hands.

It's a very rough hand, like the hand of someone who has been doing heavy work for years!

"At your age, do you still work outside the home? What does it do? Murphy asked.

Grandma Farah was stunned for a moment and said, "No." I'm retired and enjoying life every day. ”

"How long have you been retired?" Murphy asked.

Grandma Farah said to herself, does my illness have anything to do with how long I retire?

Rachel was thoughtful, and Zhou Qiao had a faint look of appreciation in his eyes, and said that Murphy was Murphy, and he had found a breakthrough so quickly!

Although Grandma Farah felt that Murphy was asking inexplicably, she replied while holding back her cough: "It's been more than ten years." I also did the kind of light office clerical work I did when I was younger. ”

"Then your rough hands shouldn't have been caused by work, but only recently?" Murphy asked.

Grandma Farah was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, it's been almost seven or eight days, I thought it was because of the dry weather these days, and I was old, and my skin was dry." ”

Murphy looked down at the grandmother's hands carefully, and found that there was actually a faint dark red rash under the nail folds around the grandmother's nails, which indicated that the patient had vasculitis in addition to pneumonia.

Murphy looked at Zhou Qiao: "I suspect that Grandma Farah has interstitial pneumonia related to a special autoimmune disease, but further tests are needed to be confirmed." ”

Zhou Qiao nodded approvingly and looked at Rachel: "What about your opinion?" ”

Rachel gave a thumbs up: "I agree!" ”

She really admires Murphy more and more, she is worthy of being a genius girl who got a medical doctor at the age of 19 from a prestigious school!

In fact, Rachel has worked in grassroots clinics for many years, and has considerable experience in the diagnosis and treatment of some common diseases, but she lacks experience in the screening of such incurable diseases.
