Iris Clinic, General Practice.

Maybe summer is approaching, and the recent weight loss business is increasing.

Zhou Qiao sat in front of the computer, revising and improving the clinic's weight loss diagnosis and treatment plan.

These diagnosis and treatment plans are all gifts from his aunt in the past, and the effect is still very good, but now that his "knowledge level" has improved, he feels that there are still many things that can be modified.

So I put a little more thought into it.

Originally, there were three sets of weight loss programs A, B, and C in the computer, targeting three different types of people.

Now, Zhou Qiao modified, refined, and added to it, and finally formulated A-H, a full eight sets of weight loss-related diagnosis and treatment plans, which has the advantage that Rachel and Vivica don't have to think too much in the future, they only need to ask for a consultation or judge the type of patient according to the examination report, and then select the appropriate weight loss diagnosis and treatment plan from the computer.

Of course, the necessary training is indispensable.

Zhou Qiao found a free afternoon, took about two hours, called Rachel, Vivica, Murphy and Stephanie together, and gave them a detailed explanation and Q&A in the small conference room.

Because of the weight loss programs in it, there are several sets that require surgery to participate, such as sleeve gastrectomy, gastric balloon implantation, and liposuction. Of course, most of the programs are diet control plans, medicated diet recuperation, supplemented by appropriate exercise.

Rachel and Vivica gave a thumbs up, feeling that with these mature, ready-made weight loss regimens, their work would be easier in the future!

Of course, the heart of defense is indispensable, and Zhou Qiao also asked them to sign a confidentiality agreement.

It is no exaggeration to say that if someone steals these weight loss programs and uses them to open a special weight loss clinic or club, they can immediately prop up the façade and make the business prosperous.

Of course, even if Zhou Qiao redeems the perfect-level weight loss medical package, he can't prevent recurrence of weight loss.

Because, this is related to self-discipline, it is very hard to lose weight, but after losing weight, many people will relax for a while, and they will inevitably eat and drink. The appetite is not so easy to control, and a large amount of calorie intake is inevitable.

Then, there are not a few people who come to the clinic for help. Therefore, even if it only covers some surrounding communities, the business of weight loss will never be cut off.

……

Amanda, 43, and Flora, 42, came out of the iris clinic together, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

"Amanda, I didn't expect you to come here to do weight loss too."

"Yes, I'm getting older, and I'm too bloated! In the past, when we were in junior high school together, we were both members of the school's cheerleading team, and at that time we had a beautiful body, and I don't know how many boys were fascinated, but now we can't! ”

"Haha, the green years are always so nostalgic!"

Although the two are middle school classmates, they had a good relationship when they were studying, and they have been living in San Francisco since then, and even, the communities they live in are not far apart, but since they got married and had children, they have not been in contact for many years.

Perhaps, after retirement?

In fact, they all have each other's contact information, but they have never been available. It's not work, it's accompanying family, and then it's all kinds of miscellaneous chores.

The two communicated and felt that each other's age and body shape were similar, although the doctors they saw were different, but the weight loss program provided by the iris clinic for them was surprisingly consistent, so before parting, the two made an appointment to bet to see who lost weight fast!

"Amanda, if you're losing weight faster than I do, you can treat me to coffee."

"Haha, it must be, Flora, if you win, you invite me to drink milk tea."

"Hopefully we'll all be skinny like a lightning bolt!"

Both are full of confidence and full of longing for life after losing weight.

It's just that after Amanda went back, she tried the Chinese medicine prescribed by the iris clinic a few times, and found that she couldn't drink it at all. She is particularly sensitive to bitterness, and every time she drinks the medicine, it feels like torture, and it is useless to add sugar substitutes to it.

The iris clinic is very good at doing business, and the weight loss package also includes some sugar substitutes, such as steviol glycosides, monk fruit sugar, allulose, and sucralose, which are relatively expensive.

She called Flora and asked about Flora.

Flora said it was okay and told her that a colleague in China had mentioned that the more bitter the medicine, the more effective it was. There seems to be a proverb that says that the more bitter the medicine, the better it is, and the better it is for disease. Well, obesity is also a disease.

Flora asked Amanda to hold on a little longer, and the two were still betting, did they just give up?

Amanda smiled bitterly and said, "I won't give up!" ”

With Flora's encouragement, Amanda persisted for a few more days, but she couldn't stand it and didn't want to wronged herself, so she secretly said: "Forget it, I still don't lose weight." ”

"What if my husband says I'm wasting money?"

Her husband is more frugal, Amanda thought about it, so she secretly threw away the medicine, but lied to her husband that she would take it to the company and drink it when she went to work.

She plans to go to the clinic again in a few days when she has free time to change her weight loss regimen. The iris clinic is quite famous for weight loss, and the doctor also said that if you feel that the plan is not suitable, you can come again to "tailor-made", and you can always find the right one.

But then, for several days, when she woke up in the morning, she felt that her mouth was dry and bitter, and there was a faint sour taste in her throat, and her stomach was terribly swollen after lunch and dinner.

At first, Amanda thought that these strange symptoms were caused by the sequelae of taking those Chinese medicines, and said that the effect of this medicine was quite strong, but after stopping the medicine for many days, it was still the case, and she wondered if it was because the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and she had indigestion?

Because she could bear it, she happened to be a little busy at work recently, so she didn't pay attention to it.

This man is old, how can he not have a little problem?

She has a physical examination every six months, and it seems that since the age of 35, various small problems have appeared on the physical examination report one after another, and as she grows older, there are more and more.

For these small problems, the doctor does not have a good way, but it is recommended to observe more, follow up more, stay up less late, exercise more, relax the mood, and not too much pressure.

For example, there are some minor problems, the surgery is not eligible, the medicine has not had much effect, and there are side effects. It's better not to intervene.

……

Iris Clinic, 2nd Floor Ward. Park so-joo was doing hygiene, and Kim Hee-jin covered her chest and came to look for her.

"Sister Xiuzhu, is it inconvenient for us to ask for leave in the clinic?"

"It's convenient. What, you're not feeling well? Park so-joo asked with concern.

"Hmm." Jin Jizhen snorted softly, frowned, and said, "Then if you ask for leave, who are you looking for?" Elena, or just go to the boss? ”

"It's all right. Dr. Zhou is very talkative, if he is there, you can go to him directly, if he is not there, you can just talk to Elena......"

Before Park Xiuzhu finished speaking, she saw that Kim Hee-jin suddenly coughed loudly and looked painful, so she hurriedly pulled out a few tissues and handed them over.

"Thank you......" Kim Hee Jin took it and covered her mouth, "cough, cough ......"

When Kim Hee Jin let go of her hand, Park Xiu Joo couldn't help but be shocked when she saw the red blood stains on the tissue, and shouted loudly: "Ji Jin, your illness can be big or small, you must not ignore it." ”

After all, it's all coughing up blood!

Jin Jizhen's expression was very indifferent, shrugged her shoulders, and said with a wry smile: "Sister Xiuzhu, I'm an old problem, it's not worth making a fuss, well, it's okay to rest at home for a few days!" ”

Park so-joo immediately became serious and criticized her: "What's the old problem? It's not good to drag it out badly! Have you forgotten the uncle named Lao Jiang some time ago? I was stuck in a fishbone, and I had to have major surgery, and I lost my esophagus. ”

"I tell you, you should treat the disease as soon as possible, treat it as soon as possible, and recover as soon as possible. Let's go, I'll take you to Dr. Zhou. Park so-joo pulled Kim Hee-jin and went to Zhou Qiao's office.

Kim Hee was still a little reluctant to squirm, so Park so-joo asked, "Is it financially constrained?" It's okay, if you don't have any money, I don't have a lot of money, but I can lend you some. ”

"No, Sister Xiuzhu, I'm really an old problem, if I really want to see it, why don't I go to Rachel or Vivica?"

Park Xiuzhu was speechless for a moment, and said, "Let such a powerful person as Dr. Zhou go, don't go to the doctor, go to Rachel and Vivica?" What do you think in this brain? ”

Anyway, when they are alone, they communicate in Korean, and they are not afraid of being heard.

Jin Jizhen whispered: "Sister Xiuzhu, aren't I afraid of disturbing the boss and being afraid that he will be unhappy?" ”

"What's upset about it. Let me tell you, this is the welfare of our clinic staff, Boss Zhou is very good, if we have any discomfort, go to him for consultation, if there is no need for surgery, no examination, even sometimes it is free. ”

Although the clinic has a price list and charges by time, Zhou Qiao has always been generous to his employees, anyway, it is just a consultation. Everyone is a colleague, and getting together is fate, is this convenience not there?

So, at the insistence of Park so-joo, Kim Ji-jin was pulled to Zhou Qiao's general clinic by this enthusiastic sibling sister.

After entering, Zhou Qiao asked them to sit down, asked about the condition, and learned about the situation, and Park Xiuzhu knew why Kim Hee Jin had squirmed before, and would rather go to Rachel or Vivica.

It turned out that she happened to be menstruating these days. This disease is most likely related to her menstruation.

Park Xiuzhu covered her mouth and snickered, saying in her heart What is this, like I am more generous, I used to have a scar on my chest, and I still watched Dr. Zhou help me deal with it. Dr. Zhou is so handsome, I still take advantage of it!

Recalling the charm of Zhou Qiao helping her deal with her chest scars in the past, Park Xiuzhu still has a little aftertaste, but she sighed softly in her heart. She also knows that her daughters are so old, and there are so many beauties around Zhou Qiao, no, even if there are not so many beauties, the mother of one of her children has no hope.

It is estimated that when she is a lover, Zhou Qiao can't look down on her.

As a single mother, Park Xiuzhu has not touched a man for so many years, and sometimes dreams back at midnight, and she feels deeply lonely, but this kind of secret thing is not enough for outsiders.

She can only devote her energy to work and raising her daughter, and try not to let herself think about those miscellaneous things.

Park so-joo originally wanted to leave after bringing Kim Hee-jin to her, but Kim Hee-jin was a little shy and quietly pulled Park so-joo and motioned for her to accompany her, so Park so-joo stayed.

"How long have you been this 'old problem'?" Zhou Qiao asked Kim Ji Jin.

Jin Jizhen said: "It's been about five or six years, since I came to the United States to study, there are always a few days every month when I feel unwell. ”

"Sometimes it's stomach pain, sometimes it's chest pain, sometimes it's back pain, low back and abdominal pain. The kind that can't lie down and can't sleep. ”

"I used to work in a Korean clinic, and I also looked for doctors over there, and I also went to community hospitals, but there was no specific statement, some doctors said it was costochondritis, some doctors said it was gastritis, every time the doctor prescribed medicine, it was fine after taking it, but I later found out that even if I didn't take the medicine, it would be fine in a few days."

Zhou Qiao asked, "How long have you been coughing up blood?" ”

Kim Hee-jin: "It's not long ago, that is, in the last year or two. I coughed a few times before, but not as much as I have today. I'm sorry, Sister Xiuzhu, I scared you just now! ”

The last sentence was said to Park Xiuzhu on the side.

Park Xiuzhu said: "Silly girl, what is there to apologize for?" It's okay if I'm scared, your body matters! ”

Zhou Qiao said with a smile: "You should thank Sister Xiuzhu, not apologize." She is right that there is an abnormal condition in the body and it should be treated as soon as possible. ”

Kim Ji really pursed her mouth, and said in her heart, "Isn't it that I have no confidence in the doctor?" Or that I don't have confidence in the current medicine.

She believes that not all diseases can be cured by doctors, just like she has found doctors so many times before, but it doesn't work. When she was in South Korea before, some elders were the same, coughing, joint pain, seeing this doctor, seeing that doctor, each with their own opinions, in the end they couldn't be cured.

Sometimes I feel that medicine is really not so developed, and many diseases are carried by oneself rather than cured.

Jin Ji couldn't help it, covered her chest again, and began to cough and frown.

Zhou Qiao took the stethoscope and said, "I'll check it for you." ”

Kim Hee-jin: "......" nodded slightly.

Facing the handsome Zhou Qiao, she was indeed a little embarrassed. Although she studied nursing. However, such a handsome doctor pressed a cold stethoscope on his chest, and that feeling was really ......

Zhou Qiao frowned and said, "If you are considering menstrual pneumothorax, I will immediately arrange an emergency CT for you!" If the diagnosis is confirmed, the pneumothorax will be relieved first. ”

"Huh? Pneumothorax? Jin Ji was really shocked, why did she have a pneumothorax? She thought it was a minor problem. Sure enough, listening to Sister Xiuzhu is right.

Just, menstrual pneumothorax?

"Dr. Zhou, what is menstrual pneumothorax?" Kim Hee-jin asked. She also has blind spots in her knowledge, which she has never encountered before, mainly because her working years are too short.

Zhou Qiao explained while opening a list: "Menstrual pneumothorax is a kind of spontaneous pneumothorax, which is especially occurring in women during menstruation, and is clinically characterized by repeated spontaneous pneumothorax during menstruation. The specific cause may be related to endometriosis or diaphragmatic foramenity. ”

Due to the urgency of the situation and the results of the examination have not yet come out, Zhou Qiao did not explain in detail, but just opened a list and asked Park so-joo to send Kim Ji-jin to the testing center for an examination.

Jin Ji was so painful that her face turned a little pale, and it was not safe to go alone.

When Elena heard about it, she gave the Land Rover's car keys to Park so-joo and asked them to drive the clinic's car.

As a result of the rush to go, soon, the inspection report came out.

Zhou Qiao's diagnosis was correct, and it was indeed a pneumothorax.

In addition, Kim Hee Jin has a large alveoli on her right lung, and her condition is very critical.

Zhou Qiao asked Murphy to drain Jin Ji Zhenxing and deflate, and Stephanie watched from the side.

Although Stephanie is quite disdainful of Murphy, seeing Murphy's skillful techniques, I have to admit that Murphy has better skills than her in the field of surgery!

She glanced at Zhou Qiao resentfully, and said in her heart, when will I let me operate it alone?

This is actually a minor operation, that is, a drainage tube is inserted into the patient's chest cavity to expel the bulging air inside. But when intubating, the mastery of the scale is a technical work.

A virtual 3D hologram appeared in front of Murphy's eyes, and the scale was just right.

To everyone's surprise, not only a large amount of gas was drawn from Kim Hee-jin's pleural cavity, but also a lot of accumulated blood was extracted!

The air in the chest cavity was discharged, and Jin Ji couldn't help but feel much more comfortable. It's just that she was a little confused: "Why did you have a pneumothorax?" Moreover, there is still so much blood? Dr. Zhou told me that it was caused by menstruation, could it be that the blood I coughed up was menstrual blood? Oh my God......"

Jin Ji really couldn't believe it, and it was a little disgusting, after all, normal menstrual blood came out from below, but she came out of her mouth, this is not ...... Let people know that they are laughing to death!
