In front of the Iris Clinic, the cork oak trees are still lush, but there is not much fruit left of the original fruitful branches.

A squirrel was sitting leisurely in the tree nest, holding the fluffy end of the acorn with two paws, grinding its teeth with the smooth and hard other end, "crunching", gnawing fragrantly, suddenly, hearing a car parked under the tree, he couldn't help but immediately flash, hid in the hidden branches and leaves, and peeked down.

Murphy got out of the car, looked up in surprise, and glanced at the tree, the little pine tree was so frightened that the acorns almost fell, but fortunately it was agile, and immediately leaned in to grab it, and then fled along the back of the trunk.

Zhou Qiao, Murphy, and Stephanie were carrying large bags and small bags, and they had just come to the door of the clinic, and Elena greeted them happily inside.

Ava, on the other hand, drove to the airport to pick them up.

"You're back!"

Soon, the others who were empty came out as well. Rachel's office has patients, so she's still busy.

Zhou Qiao and the three of them distributed gifts to everyone.

A souvenir for each person.

Cathy took little Danielle to play in the children's play area on the first floor of the clinic, and when little Danielle saw this, she immediately gave up the toy in her hand, left the wooden horse she was riding, babbling, stumbling over, stretching out her little hand high, and asking for gifts.

Zhou Qiao picked her up, kissed her, and took out a cute fawn Sophie and gave it to her, which had been prepared for her a long time ago.

This fawn Sophie is a toy for almost every French baby, and even the first gift that Prince George received was this.

What Zhou Qiao gave to little Danielle was a deer's chewing gum, which would make a pleasant music sound when pinched by hand.

As soon as little Danielle got his hands on it, he couldn't put it down.

"Cathy, here's foie gras for you." Zhou Qiao put down little Danielle, took out a beautifully packaged can of foie gras, and handed it to Cathy.

This foie gras, which is made up of whole foie gras and is not chopped, is the pinnacle of French cuisine.

Zhou Qiao also sent several cans to his family in China, but he didn't know if his family liked it or not. Because the taste of Chinese is different from that of foreigners, it may be that the old godmother tastes more delicious.

However, Cathy is very foie gras, but she is a little embarrassed, why is she embarrassed to take your gifts every time? But it was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, so I had to thank you and accept it repeatedly.

Rachel, Vivica, Park so-joo, Kim Hee-jin, Park Yoon-a, Aliel and Black Girl from the laundry also have gifts.

It's not expensive, it's a mind. Although many things are sold in the United States.

Yuna was given chocolates, pens, and an Eiffel Tower hairpin. It's a pity that Yuna hasn't had winter vacation yet, so she can only ask her mother to bring it back to her.

Be happy when you buy gifts, and be even happier when you distribute them.

Due to the fatigue of travel, Murphy and Stephanie don't have to go to work today.

Murphy went back to visit his grandparents. Her mother works in a big factory in Silicon Valley, which is a bit far away, and she is probably not at home today.

Stephanie rode her bike and couldn't wait to go to a mental hospital.

She also bought some health supplements and cosmeceuticals for her mother. I'm going to give my mom a try. In addition, she has not been given psychological counseling to her mother for many days, and I don't know if her condition has deteriorated.

To her surprise, her mother's condition did not deteriorate, but she was better than before.

In the afternoon, Elena and Ava took Zhou Qiao to the new house, but the new house was still under renovation, looking for acquaintances in Chinatown, several Chinese masters recommended by Zhang Jianjun.

Those people were originally working hard, and when they heard that they were decorating the house for Dr. Zhou's family, they became more diligent, and when they did it, they simply kept improving, and the quality was not to be said.

Zhou Qiao took a look at the decoration progress and the current semi-finished product effect, and was quite satisfied.

As for the design scheme, it was designed by Elena and Ava herself, and it is absolutely beautiful.

That night, nephrite was warm and fragrant, enjoying the tenderness of the twin sisters.

As Christmas and New Year are approaching, there are not many doctors who come for interviews, but there are many patients.

After all, illness doesn't avoid the holidays.

Murphy and Stephanie took a day off and plunged into intense and busy work again. When I have a little free time, I also have to study cases and write papers.

The articles written by the two of them, regardless of whether Zhou Qiao participated or not, would automatically add Zhou Qiao's name to the end. The two girls were faintly competing, wanting to see who helped Zhou Qiao post more articles.

Academician Domitrie's resources are in the journals within the Top 100 and are published casually, and there are almost no rejected manuscripts.

If Zhou Qiao's former teachers and classmates knew, they would be stunned.

Not to mention Zhou Qiao's previous teacher, even Murphy's former teacher, Professor Eric Parsente was a little envious of this student after he found out.

A critically ill patient was transferred from the East African base, Chen Zhining personally escorted him, and Luo Ya also called, asking Zhou Qiao to worry more.

This patient, Zhou Qiao also had the impression before, was a black woman named Yasmin, but she was not from East Africa, but was born in the United States.

Like many other local black girls, she didn't know who her father was from a young age, and her mother was alone, raising her with a lot of hard work, and later joined the gang.

Yasmin later became one of Luoya's henchmen, participated in the construction of the East African base, and became an excellent logistics officer inside.

Last time, the X virus was raging, and she was unfortunately hit, but fortunately, Zhou Qiao later developed a special medicine that pulled her back from the brink of death.

However, sequelae are inevitable.

Since then, her kidneys have been bad, with all sorts of major or minor problems.

Then, about a month ago, while she was personally supervising the transfer of supplies, a box from the truck fell and smashed into her waist.

Coincidentally, it injured the kidney, resulting in a renal hematoma.

Generally speaking, trauma is not easy to cause kidney failure, but unfortunately, her renal sequelae have not been healed, the cortex is very thin, and the hematoma compresses the kidneys, which leads to acute kidney failure.

After being on dialysis at the East Africa base, Chen Zhining and others tried their best to get it done, and after consulting Luo Ya, they decided to transfer Yasmin to the United States, where medical conditions were better.

And Zhou Qiao is naturally the first choice.

Yasmin needs to have a kidney replaced, and it may take a long time to wait for a matching kidney source, pity the hearts of parents all over the world, seeing her daughter's life passing in pain, Yasmin's mother is like a knife, she did not hesitate at all, and resolutely decided to cut a kidney for her daughter.

Some black people in the United States value family affection, such as Yasmin's mother, a black woman in her early forties who is in her prime.

At a young age, donating a kidney to his daughter is not his own, who wants to!

But Yasmin's father is a bastard through and through. It was quite sweet to fall in love with Yasmin's mother back then, but unfortunately, after sowing seeds, he ran away immediately.

Leaving the eighteen-year-old Yasmin's mother, with a big belly, struggling to survive.

It's a bit like the animal kingdom, where male cats and female cats don't hesitate to run away after seeding, and don't care about female cats and their offspring at all.

Of course, it is not surprising that there are so many people in the world, and there are all kinds of people. The black father and son in "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" can be said to be one in a thousand.

Since the ward of the Iris Clinic has been abolished, the second floor has been arranged as a consultation room and a conference room, and Park so-joo and Kim Hee-jin also have a small office on the second floor where they can rest when they have nothing to do.

So Yasmin was placed at the UCSF Medical Center.

A major surgery such as a kidney replacement must be performed at the University of California Medical Center. The supporting facilities of community hospitals are still slightly worse.

As for the medical expenses, Luo Ya said that they would be fully reimbursed by the East African base.

This is also her consistent style of acting, and a henchman like Yasmin who followed her from birth to death and worked hard must enjoy this treatment.

It's not all about buying people's hearts, but it's from the bottom of your heart.

Of course, His Majesty Luoya, Envy and Might, thunder, rain and dew.

Organ transplantation requires matching. Even if it is a biological mother and daughter, it is possible that they are not suitable, and they don't donate if they want to.

It may be God's favor, fortunately, Zhou Qiao arranged sufficient preoperative examinations, evaluations, and strict matching, and everyone found that the match was very ideal!

It is also worth mentioning that Yasmin's mother is very healthy, and both kidneys are quite healthy and energetic.

So, the surgery was scheduled.

The day before Christmas, that is, on Christmas Eve, on the morning of December 24, at nine o'clock in the morning, Zhou Qiao, Murphy, Stephanie, Elena, and Ava all came to the University of California Medical Center.

Yasmin and her mother have entered the anesthesia room, and the anesthesiologist has begun to prepare the anesthesia.

Chen Zhining also took this opportunity to return to the United States for vacation. He was concerned about Yasmin's condition, and he also wanted to witness the scene of Zhou Qiao's kidney replacement surgery, so he also came to watch.

Since Chen Zhining wanted to learn, Zhou Qiao had a good relationship with him, so he naturally would not refuse, so he asked him to follow him into the operating room as an assistant, or an observer.

With the holidays approaching, UC Medical Center is deserted than usual and has fewer staff schedules.

In fact, many people have already packed their bags and started a leisurely vacation. Because Christmas and New Year are not far apart, plus annual leave, some people can take a month off in a row.

But after all, the hospital is a special place, so someone is still arranged to be on duty, and the patients on Zhou Qiao's side really can't wait, so they have to rush to do it before Christmas.

The day before Christmas was a memorable day for Yasmin and her mother, a day to remember.

Mother and son have always relied on each other, but since Yasmin went to East Africa three years ago, mother and son have been together less and more apart.

The two were lying side by side on the operating table, their inner emotions were very complicated, apprehension and expectation were blended, and the anxiety was full of hope.

Especially Yasmin's mother, recalling that twenty-three years ago, also on the eve of Christmas, she was alone, gave birth to a baby in a black clinic, and pulled her up with a handful of and urine, watched her be naughty, and watched her grow up safely day by day.

This black mother, tears rippled.

"My dear daughter, you must hold on, mother has come to save you!" Yasmin's mother murmured, and as the anesthetic took effect, darkness descended before her eyes and she fell into a deep sleep.

In the operating room, Chen Zhining was stunned, because such an important operation was not done by Zhou Qiao himself, but handed over to a tall, thin, thin and cold girl named Murphy.

Murphy, only in front of Zhou Qiao, will he show gentleness and enthusiasm.

Stephanie was also slightly jealous, but, in all fairness, she was a little less confident if she really wanted to be in charge. She glanced at Murphy, only to see that this cold girl looked calm and composed, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration in her heart.

After the anesthesia is completed, the multi-party check is completed, and the operation begins, which is still the advanced Prometheus-3000 surgical robot.

This kind of surgical robot is not available in the East African base. It is mainly an East African base, not a serious medical base. The medical base over there is only a small branch of the East African base, which plays an auxiliary role and does not invest very much. There are no plans to purchase surgical robots.

However, even so, the medical conditions of the East African base are among the best in East Africa.

It was the first time for Chen Zhining to observe this kind of surgical robot doing surgery, and his eyes were full of curiosity.

Murphy's nimble ten fingers began to manipulate, flowing smoothly, giving people an extremely silky feeling as soon as he made a shot.

Slow, but silky. It's even more difficult.

Her subject three is also the best jumper.

Ava began to play. This is an old project of Zhou Qiao's team, and I always feel that something is missing when I don't put some nursery rhymes during surgery.

The University of California Medical Center has specially equipped them with high-end audio equipment, which is much better than the sound quality of community hospitals.

The first song is Cheng Xiang's "Maybe", a beautiful female voice that makes people pregnant.

"Maybe the sun in the south, shining on the wind in the north, maybe time will be blown away, and there will be no trace from there...... Maybe on the city wall of Xi'an, some people swear that they don't divide, and they may have to go to Dali to love seriously......"

This is a typical representative of a singer who is not popular, not to mention knowing what she looks like, and many people have not even heard of this name.

However, this "Maybe" is definitely one of the songs that are popular and highly sung on the Internet.

Kidney transplantation is naturally quite difficult, and this kind of surgery, the traditional operation, is naturally open kidney transplantation, but the traditional mode has problems such as large trauma, large bleeding, and long postoperative recovery time.

And advanced surgical robotic surgery is the future development trend, especially in the United States with a shortage of doctors.

With three heads and five arms, tremor filtering, and a 20x field of view, it can finely suture blood vessels and ureters at any angle, and it is very stable and reliable.

It was also the first organ transplant performed at the Iris Clinic, and the first kidney transplant assisted by a surgical robot. And Academician Domitrie's resources are in, and submitting to the top journals is not a problem.

The procedure, to put it simply, is that a kidney is removed from the mother's body and placed in sterile ice water for later use.

After conventional irrigation and pruning, the Prometheus-3000 surgical robot was controlled to make an incision of about 5cm in Yasmin's abdomen......

Stephanie and Elena assisted in the placement of the single-well port and instrument......

Murphy continued to operate the surgical robot, freeing the patient's right external iliac artery and vein, and then inserting it into the transplanted kidney through a single-port port......

Anastomosto, restore blood supply......

When the patient's ureter showed a noticeable urine squirt, everyone cheered.
