Murphy came over and found out about the condition.

She was tall and slender, with short chestnut hair as luster as satin, blue eyes like jewels, and thin, delicate lips.

The expression is always as cold as an iceberg, and only when facing Zhou Qiao does he inadvertently show a little tenderness.

When asking about the condition, the words are few, concise and to the point, and the words are like gold.

If it weren't for the fact that Ariel and Martha knew Murphy's temperament, they would have thought that Murphy discriminated against them.

In the United States, discrimination against blacks is all too common.

However, no matter what race, there are always good people and bad people, it is nothing more than a matter of proportion.

Murphy arranged for Martha to go to the commercial testing center near the clinic that had signed a cooperation agreement.

When the results came out, Ariel and Martha were deeply impressed!

Dr. Zhou is amazing, he says what he says, and never misdiagnoses!

Undoubtedly, the result is naturally an inguinal hernia.

Some people think that only men can get this disease, but this is not the case.

It's not just for men, it's for women.

Because in the groin, the inguinal canal and fascial structure of men and women are actually similar, but the incidence in men is usually significantly higher than that of women, about 7-10 times that of women, so it gives people that illusion.

As a result, Martha, who had just finished the examination, had to go to the testing center again non-stop to continue the preoperative examination and improve the relevant data.

Murphy told her that from now on, she would fast from food and water. Because this is a surgery that requires general anesthesia.

Ava contacted the community hospital and made an appointment with the operating room and anesthesiologist.

The staff at the community hospital were not surprised, and joked with Ava that your clinic is the affiliated clinic that has come to do the most surgeries!

Ava smiled: "No way, Dr. Zhou, he is so capable!" ”

The staff member who approached him laughed: "You are praising your boss when you have the opportunity, right?" ”

Ava: "Yes, yes, yes! "The heart says, if your brother doesn't boast, do you keep others to praise?

Murphy was already more skilled in the operation of inguinal hernia, Zhou Qiao discussed the surgical plan with her, pointed out one or two of the incompleteness, and did not teach her again.

Martha was still a little nervous, after all, it was her first time to have surgery.

Ariel told her not to be pretentious.

Zhou Qiao came over to comfort her: "It's just a minor operation, and it will be done quickly." Well, laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery! ”

Martha nodded and said, "If it's a minor operation, I won't notify my family." ”

Her family is also not in San Francisco. She actually came from Mexico and was later selected by Loya to join the organization.

Even if she had informed her family that her mother had arrived, she would probably still be on her way, and the operation would have been completed. And it's not so convenient to come to the United States from Mexico.

Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair is a tertiary operation, simply put, it is to fill the 3.6*4.5cm hole in Martha's affected area with a patch under laparoscopy, and at Murphy's speed, it will be done in less than ten minutes!

Ava picked five tunes, and before they finished playing, the operation was over!

The main thing is a fast!

A golden virtual panel popped up in Zhou Qiao's mind: "The progress of the 'Great Teacher' task has been advanced to 9/10, and the achievement will be achieved immediately, I hope the host will make persistent efforts!" ”

"Murphy's opinion +1, Murphy's current opinion is 93!"

At the same time, the system determined that Murphy's inguinal hernia repair had reached the master's level!

This is the third surgical skill that has advanced to the master level completely on her own. The first two are sutures and gastroscopy for foreign body removal.

After the operation, Martha woke up and was transferred back to the Iris Clinic, where she was hospitalized in a second-floor ward.

The next morning, Zhou Qiao took Murphy and Elena to round the ward together, looked at the situation, and discharged Martha.

Because Martha's physique is so good, there are almost no complications after the operation, three small scars, one 1cm, two 0.5cm, with its physical fitness, it is not worth mentioning.

Of course, Murphy's surgery was done well as a major factor!

Ariel gave Martha five days off to rest at home, after all, she had surgery.

Although it is said to be minimally invasive, minimally invasive only refers to the surface, and the wound at the lesion site inside is actually the same as the abdomen.

As a result, Martha only had three days off and couldn't wait to go to work at the laundry!

Because she felt almost fine, she was panicked when she didn't go to work. In addition, one day less work is one day less salary.

Now their identities are whitewashed, and on the surface they are all serious laundry employees, not only have a fixed salary, they are paid once a week, and they even have medical insurance.

Of course, there will be an additional allowance if the organization needs to go out on a mission.

There are no rules, there is no circle, and the Violent Queen Organization already has a very complete system.

For this operation, Martha spent $1,500 out of her own expense, and the remaining nearly $9,000 was paid for by medical insurance.

Martha felt that it was good to see a doctor here in Zhou Qiao, not only was she skilled, but she was also very polite, which made her feel respected. Unlike other clinics or hospitals, some places are extremely discriminatory against blacks, and even refuse to treat blacks outright.

In the past, when she first came to the United States, she accompanied a little black sister to see a doctor, and the doctor kicked them out on the spot, and called them stupid chimpanzees. Later, Martha joined 18th Street, and during an operation, she ran into the doctor and immediately swept it away!

What Martha didn't know was that Zhou Qiao was looking at Luo Ya's face. If they weren't Luo Ya's subordinates, Zhou Qiao might also stay away and dare not provoke them.

Like Ariel, although she is black, every time there is something in the clinic, she rushes out as soon as possible, and when she has nothing to do, she also conscientiously guards the safety of the clinic, without credit and hard work.

When I usually see Zhou Qiao, I also respect him from the bottom of my heart.

Zhou Qiao, as a person in the state of etiquette, pays attention to "courtesy and exchanges", and "face is given to each other", in this case, how can he be mean to Aliel and them?

……

In the dark of night, Zhou Qiao hugged the two jade figures left and right, very excited. Because a new achievement has been achieved!

It's 100 times!

New skills have been unlocked for the twin girls, which can be used to add points to their physical attributes!

Zhou Qiao thought about it, and gave them their appearance, figure, skin (fair, smooth, delicate), physical strength, and flexibility, each +2, which cost 56 points.

The next day, the twin girls woke up and felt energetic and energetic.

Look in the mirror, ah~, it's beautiful again!

Sure enough, with Qiao Moisturizing, it's really different~

Ava touched her smooth face and said to herself, she doesn't have to worry about those annoying pimples anymore!

When you become beautiful, you are in a good mood and you are more energetic at work!

Murphy came to work and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the twin girls so radiant.

Originally, everyone's beauty was similar, why was they suddenly surpassed by them? Did they wear makeup? But if you look closely, there is no such thing at all!

Pure natural and no makeup!

Murphy girl can't help but be confused! Xindao, shouldn't I go and ask Elena for maintenance methods?

However, I'm only 19 years old, so should I start maintenance at the age of 19?

……

There was a new fried chicken restaurant opening near the clinic, and these days there were fewer people, so Elena and Ava went to join in the fun and came back with a lot of fried chicken and cola.

This is an Internet celebrity store, which has recently risen in the United States, and in the first few days of its opening, the queue had to be five or six hours.

In Zhou Qiao's impression, Americans don't seem to like chicken, preferring beef.

But after coming over, I realized that fried chicken should not be too hot here!

KFC, McDonald's, Shake Shack and even Salad-making Sweetgreen, as well as restaurants like Wendy's, Church's, Whataburger and Taco Bell, have all launched new fried chicken products.

Zhou Qiao took a piece and tasted it, it was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, I have to say that this fried chicken tastes quite good!

Of course, good food will definitely not be eaten alone. Elena took it and went to share some with Murphy, Park so-joo and Rachel, and everyone spent lunch eating this fried chicken.

Elena and Ava were still sucking their fingers after eating, and the clinic was having fun.

Park Xiuzhu was slightly happy in her heart, and sure enough, the working atmosphere of the Iris Clinic was good, like in the Korean clinic before, where was there such a pleasant colleague relationship.

The reason why she was happy in her heart was not just because she tasted fried chicken with everyone, but because Zhou Qiao called her to the clinic in the morning and told her about the salary increase!

Park so-joo feels that her efforts have been reciprocated, and her enthusiasm for work has increased!

Zhou Qiao gave her a monthly increase of $800.

Although it is not a lot, it accumulates more than 10,000 US dollars a year, because the iris clinic will have a one-month salary reward at the end of the year, which is equivalent to a 13-month salary increase. It's enough for her to take Yun'er out for a few more big meals and buy a few more good clothes.

In normal times, wages are paid every half a month. It will be an extra 400 dollars each time.

Zhou Qiao was eating fried chicken, and at the same time, many people in the nearby community were also eating fried chicken from this restaurant.

However, Zhou Qiao and the others just want to be fresh and eat it once or twice.

However, there is a child in the nearby community, who is only 15 years old and has a weight of more than 170 pounds, but he eats fried chicken every day, and he is not happy without fried chicken!

Fried chicken with Coke is his favorite!

If this continues, in less than two years, he will be able to catch up with Felipe!

Felipe has now lost more than 280 pounds, and Christie is preparing for a wedding and honeymoon!

The two have already set a wedding date, which is February 7, because Americans think 7 is auspicious!

That's right, Americans will also pick an "auspicious day of the zodiac" when they get married.

Punters love 7 equally. 7-7-7 is the jackpot number for the slot machine, which adds up to exactly 21 points in a poker game, which is very interesting.

In Western numerology, 7 is full of mystery and is seen as a significant number.

There are seven days in the week, there are seven notes in the scale, and there are seven wonders of the world.

7 also has religious symbolism, God created the world in six days, and the seventh day was used for rest; Catholicism has seven sacraments and seven virtues; In a Jewish wedding, the bride walks around the groom seven times and feasts for seven days.

An article in Time magazine pointed out that the most popular "auspicious wedding day" in American history is Saturday, July 7, 2007. Many celebrities get married on this day, and this day can be described as an auspicious day in the history of the United States.

On Sunday, when the clinic was not open, Zhou Qiao was playing games with her twin sisters in the lounge area, which was their home, and even if the clinic was closed, there was nowhere to go.

Felipe and Christie came to the door and delivered the beautifully crafted invitations.

"Wow, the day has been picked, congratulations!"

"Happy newlyweds!"

Everyone is so happy for them!

Both of them are patients of the clinic, in addition to the first time to see a doctor, there are many follow-up visits after surgery, regular check-ups, and they can be regarded as regular customers.

The invitation card is very exquisite, when Zhou Qiao opened it, a piece of thin paper fell from the delicate and elegant invitation, Zhou Qiao was agile, and copied it in his hand with one hand.

When I opened it, I saw that it was written in brown letters: "Dear Dr. Zhou, Elena and Ava: Thank you very much for attending Christie and Felipe's wedding banquet, and sincerely invite you to share our sweetness and happiness!" We are a little greedy and look forward to receiving the following gifts: ......"

Then, here's a long list of product names: kitchenware sets, oil paintings, crystal vases, skincare products, aprons, bath towels, Barbie dolls, teddy bears...... Condom......

I'll go, Zhou Qiao was stunned!

Christie chuckled: "That's how we Americans get married!" ”

Elena and Ava nodded their heads as well, this is indeed the custom here.

Elena smiled: "Joe, can't you accept our Americans' straightforwardness?" I've heard Anna say before that Chinese are very subtle, especially when it comes to gift-giving! ”

Zhou Qiao sneered: "Indeed." "Where will the Chinese take the initiative to ask for gifts? Isn't it up to the other party to decide what to send?

Zhou Qiao glanced at one of the product names again: Sets! The heart said, "Oh my God, even if we ask for a gift, we won't openly ask for such a thing!" What a shame!

Elena explained to him that this was for fear that everyone would not like what they bought, but would cause idleness and waste. In addition, with this list, you don't have to rack your brains to think about what to give, just pick one from the list!

Zhou Qiao nodded, indeed! It's practical! Moreover, the items on this list are not expensive. The most expensive estimate is only two or three hundred dollars.

He pondered, it is estimated that this list is based on people, and the relationship is not particularly close, so the price of the gifts in the list will not be very expensive. Even so, a price range is still given to choose from.

In fact, although Americans take the initiative to make a list of gifts, they are very particular when sending invitations.

Christie was about to become a bride, and she was very happy and smiled: "Doctor Zhou, you can check one from this list, well, after the checkbox, I will take it." ”

"Huh?" Zhou Qiao was stunned, "Do you want to take it back?" ”

"Yes, otherwise everyone will send it repeatedly, wouldn't that also be a waste?" Christie said with a smile.

Felipe kept smiling and didn't speak.

Zhou Qiao looked at the twin sisters, and Ava suggested, "Why don't we send a crystal vase?" ”

Zhou Qiao nodded and said, "Okay!" So he ticked the box behind the crystal vase.

"Thank you, you must come early!" Christie said with a smile, and then sent Zhou Qiao a picture with the address on the picture.

Zhou Qiao looked at it, hey, it was the picture and item number of the crystal vase, and the address was a specialty store that sold crystal vases.

Saying goodbye to Christie and Felipe, Zhou Qiao took advantage of his free time to take his twin sisters to the crystal store and bought the gifts directly.

Since the item number and store were specified, there was no need to choose, and the whole purchase process took no more than ten minutes, and after spending $177, I walked out of the store with a beautiful dark blue paper bag with the store's logo.

In the bag, there is a blue velvet lined box, and the crystal vase inside is spotless, not even fingerprints. Because the clerk was wearing white silk gloves when packing.

After going back, Elena designed a greeting card, handwritten greetings, put it in a bag, and waited for the other party to take it on the wedding day.

Zhou Qiao felt that this way of giving gifts was actually very good, and there would be no situation that the owner didn't like it. And then the price of the other party also knows.
