May Day originated in the United States.

On May 1, 1886, about 350,000 people participated in a massive strike and demonstration in Chicago, USA, and the demonstrators demanded better working conditions and an eight-hour workday.

On May 3, 1886, the Chicago government dispatched police to suppress it, shooting and killing two people, the situation expanded, and on May 4, the striking workers held a protest in the hay market square, because unknown people threw bombs at the police, and finally the police opened fire, a total of 4 workers and 7 policemen died, which is known as the "hay market riot" or "hay market massacre".

In the ensuing sentencing, eight anarchists were prosecuted for murder, four were hanged, and one committed suicide in prison.

However, although May Day originated in the United States, Americans are not more than "May Day", because May Day, which is essentially a holiday in socialist countries, was first announced by Engels.

The country of origin is only May Day, which is more or less ironic.

Americans' Labor Day falls on the first Monday of September every year.

So on May Day, China has a 5-day holiday, but the United States does not, and the iris clinic does not deliberately have a holiday.

But some Chinese people who have lived in China since childhood have never forgotten this festival. Tang Yunxuan's kitchen helper Lao Jiang, like Zhou Qiao, is from Jiangnan, China, 57 years old, thinking that his relatives and friends in China happened to be free on May Day, so he asked for leave to return to China.

One is to catch up with relatives and friends, and the other is that his old father died on May 3, and he hasn't gone back to worship for many years.

After Lao Jiang returned to China, he was very happy, not to mention anything else, just the food in his hometown, he enjoyed it all over!

For example, braised spring bamboo shoots in oil, fried rice cakes with shepherd's cabbage, small fried screws, scrambled eggs with toon, glutinous rice with pea and salted pork, stinky amaranth stalks...... There are so many of them, how can you eat them in the United States? Even if you can eat it, it is not as authentic as your hometown, and it is cheap!

Vegetables in the United States are dead expensive!

Although he works in a Chinese restaurant like Tang Yunxuan, the United States is not as good as China after all.

In addition to these, there is another dish that he has loved since childhood. That is, yellow catfish, commonly known as ang stinging fish, yellow spicy ding, and many other names, may be different in each place, but it is really delicious on the tip of the tongue!

Lao Jiang went to the United States and never ate again.

When he returned to China this time, he was so hungry that he knew his preferences, and when he invited him to dinner, he specially made a big pot of stewed tofu with angsting fish. This dish is delicious and nutritious, and can be enjoyed by all ages.

Lao Jiang immediately drooled out, sandwiched a fat and ang thorny fish fried golden on both sides, and feasted on it.

Americans eat fish, and almost never eat freshwater fish, because freshwater fish have many bones, and they eat boneless sea fish meat, and they never have to spit out the spines in their mouths. So the freshwater fish in the United States are overflowing. In particular, carp were introduced from Asia for the treatment of river water pollution.

It is said that the heavy metals are seriously exceeded.

But even if it's not for pollution control, Americans don't eat this freshwater fish. There are many and a strong earthy smell, and the Americans can't keep up with the and cooking.

Maybe Lao Jiang has been in the United States for a long time, and he hasn't been contaminated with this kind of domestic freshwater fish for too long, and when he eats it, he is too anxious to even bite off his tongue, and if he is not careful, his throat hurts!

He immediately knew that most of them had been pricked by fish bones!

However, he was born and raised in Jiangnan since he was a child, how could he be afraid of fish bones?

The old watch asked with concern: "What's the matter, was it pricked by a fish bone?" Come on, come on, do some vinegar! ”

Lao Jiang took a bite.

In fact, the local method of drinking vinegared fish bones does not work. Fish bones can be dissolved by vinegar, but it takes a long, long time. The moment you drink it doesn't dissolve at all.

Lao Jiang poured a few sips of vinegar, didn't care, and said with a smile: "Who hasn't been stuck by a fish bone, press it with a few mouthfuls of rice and go down!" ”

The old watch immediately asked his wife to serve him rice.

Lao Jiang even picked up several mouthfuls of fragrant rice!

This is also the soil method, when he did this before, he was invincible, who knows, this time the luck was not so good, he felt obvious chest pain when he swallowed.

Lao Jiang has a big heart, the key is that he grew up from snack fish, he has rich experience, what kind of fish has he never seen or eaten, and he is still afraid of this little thorn?

Therefore, he didn't care, his heart said, it will be over after a while, how big it is.

After the meal, he spent a few days in his hometown, visiting relatives and friends, paying respects to his parents, and then returning to the United States.

He continued to work at Tang Yunxuan and resumed his normal busy days after days.

also boasted to his colleagues, saying that Tang Yunxuan did not have the dish of ang thorn fish, and he ate more or less authentic and delicious food in China, which made everyone greedy.

However, this time, it was really different from before, as time went by, the pain in his chest not only did not disappear, but became more and more serious, not only chest pain, but also his back was torn to the ground!

However, Lao Jiang is also a ruthless person, or rather, his personality is a little stubborn, and the other thing is that it is more expensive to see a doctor in the United States, so he insisted on not going to the hospital.

His wife urged him, saying that if you don't want to go to other hospitals or clinics, it's okay to go to Dr. Zhou's place. I heard that Dr. Zhou not only has a good attitude, but also the price is fair, and he never kills people.

Lao Jiang blushed and had a thick neck: "What's the matter, just take some painkillers at home!" ”

His wife had no choice but to take him a piece of painkiller, and poured a glass of water intimately, and Lao Jiang drank it all.

I have to say that the effect of painkillers is very good, and it really doesn't hurt anymore.

However, as soon as the effect of the medicine passed, Lao Jiang began to hurt again!

And it's getting worse and worse, and I can't even go to work.

On this afternoon, he was helping to take care of the dishes in Tang Yunxuan's back kitchen, and suddenly felt something in his throat surging up, a salty smell, he couldn't help it, opened his mouth and sprayed, I went, and the people around him were shocked, it turned out to be a mouthful of blood!

"Oh no, no, Lao Jiang vomited blood!"

Before everyone could react, Lao Jiang was shocked again, and he continued to "poof~, poof~, poof~", and spit out several mouthfuls of blood! Shocking!

"Hurry up, send to the hospital!"

"Send Dr. Zhou there!"

"Hurry!"

Zhou Qiao's reputation is still good, and in addition, this is the nearest clinic. As soon as Tang Yunxuan's people had an accident, Zhang Jianjun, the manager on duty, immediately rushed over, pulled Lao Jiang in a car, and drove to the iris clinic together accompanied by two colleagues.

The injury was too serious, so Zhou Qiao and Murphy received the treatment together and arranged for an emergency examination.

At the same time, Lao Jiang's wife also came to the iris clinic, and when she learned that her condition was serious, she panicked all of a sudden, and then called her son crying and asked him to come over immediately.

The results of the examination came out, and it was very bad!

Lao Jiang had a perforation of the middle and upper esophagus, a large amount of blood in the stomach cavity, hemoglobin plummeted to 4 grams, and the chest CT scan showed that the thoracic aorta was ruptured and the mediastinal was infected.

In this case, major surgery is required, and the conditions of the iris clinic are not good, so Zhou Qiao directly arranged Lao Jiang to be hospitalized in a community hospital. In addition to first aid, various monitoring, and life-saving, preoperative preparations are also urgently carried out.

After graduating from American university, Lao Jiang's son worked for a high-tech company in the Bay Area, and after receiving the call, he also rushed to San Francisco.

"Mom, my dad is in such a serious condition, you let the doctor in a small clinic treat it?" Although Lao Jiang has been transferred to the community hospital, Xiao Jiang can't help but be anxious when he learns that the doctors and nurses at the Iris Clinic are still in charge.

On the side, after Zhang Jianjun heard it, he raised his eyebrows, walked over and interjected: "Xiao Jiang, why don't you pay attention to the news." Dr. Chow: Is that an ordinary doctor? ”

"Isn't it?" Xiao Jiang was stunned.

Zhang Jianjun couldn't help but shake his head, and said angrily: "Let me tell you this, if you are not satisfied with Dr. Zhou, let alone this community hospital, even in the whole of California, you can't find a better doctor!" ”

Anyway, because of his daughter Zhang Mengjing's incident, Zhang Jianjun is now a diehard of the Iris Clinic! In his mind, Zhou Qiao is the first person to deserve to be a California doctor!

Although, what he said is a bit exaggerated, others may not be convinced.

Without waiting for Xiao Jiang to check on the Internet, someone on the side came to tell him.

When he heard that Zhou Qiao had excellent medical skills, often carried out difficult surgeries, and even tumor surgeries were soaring, and he was a visiting professor at the University of California, San Francisco and Los Angeles, Xiao Jiang's hanging heart finally let go.

Zhou Qiao's fame is indeed good in California, but doctors are really not as good as the kind of popular movie stars or singers who can become household names.

Xiao Jiang, a person who basically doesn't go to the hospital to see a doctor except for a physical examination, has really never heard of Zhou Qiao before.

Zhou Qiao took time out of his busy schedule to briefly explain the next emergency surgery to the patient's family and asked them to sign!

"You are Uncle Jiang's wife and son, right?" Zhou Qiao asked.

"Yes, yes. Dr. Chow, how is my dad? ”

Zhou Qiao: "It's serious. This is followed by emergency surgery, a thoracotomy, replacement of an artificial blood vessel, removal of a section of the esophagus, and a gastrostomy. ”

"Isn't it just that you got stuck in a fish bone? How can it be so serious? "Xiao Jiang couldn't believe it. Who hasn't been stuck in a fish bone in China? Can't I take it with an esophagoscope? Why did you make such a fuss that you want to open your chest?

Lao Jiang's wife looked worried. This is because Xiao Jiang is young and has seen too little of the world. He didn't know that one of his cousins and grandmothers, many years ago, was stuck by a fish bone, and the rescue was not timely and left!

Zhou Qiao said regretfully: "The fish bone has pierced your father's esophagus, and then pierced the aorta next to it, and it has dragged on for more than twenty days, and conventional repairs can no longer solve the problem." The fish bone not only punctured the aorta, but also caused a severe chest infection, anemia, and a very poor general condition, so to speak, the operation is extremely risky, I can't pack a ticket, I will definitely be able to save your father! ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Jiang's face immediately changed, and he shouted, "Aren't you a famous doctor in California?" "The heart says that's all you can do? Then I might as well not be treated by you and go to the University of California Medical Center!

Zhang Jianjun couldn't help but scold: "What nonsense are you talking about. No matter which hospital you go to, can the doctor give you a ticket? ”

Xiao Jiang was stunned for a moment, and said that this was the reason, but he was too anxious and wanted to go wrong. However, I am still worried.

As a family member of the patient, I naturally hope that the doctor can pat his chest to reassure, but it is obvious that such a serious condition is absolutely impossible. No doctor would be so unsparing.

Zhou Qiao said: "If you agree, sign the surgical consent form, and the operation will start soon!" ”

If the other party does not agree, then he will not forcibly save it. As for whether to transfer to the hospital or how to deal with it, leave it to the patient's family.

Xiao Jiang discussed it with his mother, and soon, he signed the consent form for the operation! After all, saving people is like fighting a fire, and there can be no delay. However, the anxiety and worry in my heart are difficult to describe.

This is a feeling that only the patient's immediate family can truly experience.

In fact, even if they change to a more powerful and famous doctor, they will still be worried.
