Chiba Nanako naturally made an excuse to refuse, after all, Zhou Jun was still in the bed, covering it to death, for fear that her sister would break in and see it.

In case my sister insists on getting in, it will be a ...... The scene of the social death.

Fortunately, Chiba Ruin listened to her sister and went back sullenly, but soon, Chiba Ruin heard that there seemed to be some strange sound in her sister's room, so she knocked on the door again.

Nanako Chiba: "......"

……

Zhou Qiao came back, and Zhang Mengjing's welcome team building was made up.

Once again, the Iris Clinic went out and picked a high-end restaurant, and almost everyone brought their families.

Rachel brought her little granddaughter, Park so-joo brought Yuna, Jang Mengjing brought her mother, Murphy brought her mother, Stephanie brought her mother, Nanako Chiba brought her sister Ryune Chiba, and Ariel brought her little cousin.

The only thing missing is the twin girls.

Every time Zhou Qiao thought about it, he couldn't help but be stunned.

It is worth mentioning that Stephanie's mother is basically back to normal now, she is older, and she talks more with Rachel and others.

And Zhang Mengjing can play with Yun'er, Chiba Ruyin and others.

Don't look at Yun'er's young age, she is still a primary school student, but she is taller than those two and looks slim.

When someone who didn't know came up to her to ask for contact information, she would just show her children's phone watch, which scared people.

Of course, Park so-joo is more strict, and Yuna is also more self-disciplined, and she never gives her contact information. It's still underage.

Showing a child's phone watch is just a way to refuse.

Yun'er used to be very lively and very intimate with Zhou Qiao, for example, she would take the initiative to hold Zhou Qiao's arm, stick very close, and look at Zhou Qiao's call of "Oba Oba", but now she has become shy and will deliberately keep her distance from Zhou Qiao.

She is no longer as big or small as Zhou Qiao, but peeks at Zhou Qiao from time to time, and her eyes contain the love of a girl who has not been there before.

Seeing Zhang Mengjing's successful entry into the Iris Clinic, Yun'er said in her heart, when I grow up, I will also go to study medicine, I am not a nurse, I want to be like Aunt Murphy and Aunt Stephanie, go to the medical school of a prestigious university, well, at least graduate with a doctorate, and then I will also come to the clinic to join the clinic, and I will pestering Oba to report my work every day.

"Come on, Park Yoona, Harvard Medical School is waiting for you!" Park Yoona has not yet graduated from elementary school, and her target university and major have already been chosen.

"Oba's level is so high, they all say that they are the top in North America, and I have to be better, I have to work harder." Park Yuna used to be a little resentful and reluctant about her mother's strict requirements, but now, after having a goal, she will take the initiative to ask to study and participate in some cram schools.

In China, South Korea, Japan, many cram schools have opened in the North American market, and there are many advertisements for cram schools on the street.

Zhang Mengjing's mother is very happy, because she thinks that the Iris Clinic attaches great importance to her daughter, and after joining the company, she also held such a grand welcome dinner for her daughter, which is really too expensive.

Because this night, it cost nearly 20,000 US dollars just to eat and drink.

As everyone knows, whenever a newcomer comes, Zhou Qiao will take this opportunity to treat everyone.

It's also a benefit of the clinic.

Park Yuna and Chiba Ryuin often attend extravagant gatherings at the Iris Clinic, and if any male classmates want to invite them to dinner in the future, the two of them are a little unmoved, because compared with Zhou Qiao, the male classmates are too picky and searching.

It can be said that they have been to all the high-end restaurants in San Francisco.

In San Francisco, there is no restaurant that Zhou Qiao can't afford. He plans to do another big one at the end of the year, with a budget of at least $100,000.

A rich girl will not be so easily deceived by others.

Xu Tiantian, Fang Yuanyuan, Chu Xuan, Ling Qingqing and several of their classmates are now following Talia and them to Los Angeles to develop, otherwise, Zhou Qiao also plans to call them over for this dinner.

Zhou Qiao pondered when he would go to Los Angeles to see Baby Talia, there were still more than 20 times before she could reach 100, and she had to work harder.

Actually, Talia thinks about Zhou Qiao very much, if she hadn't just become a boss and was busy with work, she would have wanted to fly to San Francisco to get together with Zhou Qiao.

After experiencing the welcome dinner, Zhang Mengjing was completely integrated into the iris clinic and worked more energetically. She lives with her parents and commutes to work by bicycle every day, and when it rains, she walks.

Anyway, Chinatown is not far from the clinic, and it is a maximum of twenty minutes walk.

The clinic closes at 5 p.m., and many people go to the beach in the evening to watch the sunset, so there is no need to worry about safety. San Francisco is two worlds more than it was a few years ago.

Whenever the citizens of San Francisco feel that the law and order are good now, they can't help but think of the Wonder Queen back then.

I single-handedly cleaned up Xiaoxiao.

Unfortunately, they have returned to Texas.

Loya is still a little popular in San Francisco, and if it is a general election in the future, although she is a Republican, there may not be no one in California to vote for her.

In fact, California used to be a big vote base of the Republican Party in the past, and Reagan served as governor of California for eight years.

It can only be said that time has changed, and times have changed.

What forced California to change its base camp was the wave of unemployment and industrial readjustment in the early '90s.

The withering of manufacturing, the mass migration of more than 200,000 low-level workers to other states to make a living, and the rise of new industries such as computers, and the rapid growth of Silicon Valley have attracted a large number of young white elites across the United States to join, and they firmly hold the dominant position.

In this industry, the threshold is quite high, and the fight is for education and quality, not for ordinary immigrants to steal their jobs.

……

In California, the threshold for doctors is also quite high, and the threshold for famous doctors is even higher.

With so many clinics in California, there are almost none that stand out like the Iris Clinic.

The Iris Clinic has always been far ahead.

Last time, the operation on a 103-year-old man was successful, and after the news spread, many elderly people liked to run to the iris clinic.

In fact, there have been many elderly people treated by iris clinics in the past. It's well-known.

This time, it was once again that pushed the iris clinic to the hot spot.

There are also some operational ingredients in it, such as "Dr. Xiao Yang" and "Xue Qiao Selection", and occasionally release some videos of the Iris Clinic.

There is a Chinese old man who watched the video and came to visit him accompanied by his son.

He couldn't walk on his legs and was in a wheelchair with his son pushing him.

"Doctor Zhou, it's great that you're here." The Chinese uncle's surname is Zhao, who is in his eighties, and he feels very cordial when he sees Zhou Qiao. Although they are all abroad and can speak English, it is more convenient to communicate in Chinese, their native language.

For these older generations, Chinese is engraved in their bones.

"What is your condition? Have you been seen at another hospital before? Zhou Qiao asked.

"Yes, yes," Mr. Zhao said.

Then, the other party's son hurriedly handed over some examination reports and medical records, including some CT, MRI and other films.

Zhou Qiao carefully flipped through it, and at the same time, asked the other party about some previous diagnosis and treatment experiences and medical history.

The situation of the other party is indeed very complicated.

About seven years ago, Uncle Zhao underwent "posterior lumbar decompression fusion and internal fixation" surgery at the University of California Medical Center because of the problem of low back and leg pain, and the postoperative symptoms were significantly alleviated.

"I thought that after that operation, it would be done once and for all, but as a result, I didn't expect it to relapse again this year. My leg hurt so much that I couldn't walk, and then not long ago, my son took me to the University of California Medical Center for follow-up, but the doctor who received me said that I was too old to do surgery, and recommended conservative treatment. Conservative treatment for a week, the effect is not good. "Uncle Zhao is very unwilling.

If you don't have surgery, doesn't that mean you will be in a wheelchair for the rest of your life? It's just a wheelchair, the key is that it still hurts!

The effect of conservative treatment is not good, what's the matter, am I in my eighties, should I wait to die? Uncle Zhao felt that the doctors at the University of California Medical Center discriminated against him and were unwilling to help him with the operation.

However, at such an age, surgery is indeed very risky. He understands that, too.

To understand is to understand, that is, to be unwilling.

Ants still steal life, let alone people?

When many people are young, they say that they can almost live a good life, and it is acceptable to die at the age of 75, but they will be affected if they live a long time, but often many people are really at that age and are reluctant to die.

It is a blessing to be able to see the world for a few more years.

Once a person dies, there is really nothing left, and it will be lost in the long river of history.

After the death of ordinary people, an hour after the burial, relatives and friends began to eat and drink with laughter, after three or five years, basically it is unlikely to remember, and after a few years, when the second and third generations have passed away one after another, it is estimated that no one will talk about it at all, and no one may even know the name.

After four or five generations pass away, who knows that there is such a person as you.

Uncle Zhao wanted to live a few more years and be happier in his old age, so he remembered that there was a famous Chinese doctor in California, young and promising, and he was also good at treating bone injuries, and the young man who danced the lion in Chinatown was crippled and could do a good job.

So, Uncle Zhao strongly asked his son to take him to the iris clinic.

Zhou Qiao looked at the inspection report and saw a place, he couldn't help but be stunned, looked up at Uncle Zhao and said, "Your disease is not a recurrence of the previous surgical segment, but a problem in another place." ”

This is inconsistent with the situation described by Uncle Zhao just now.

"Huh? Another place? Uncle Zhao was also surprised, but soon remembered that it was no wonder that the University of California Medical Center said that the recurrence of the disease had nothing to do with them.

At first, I thought they were shirking their responsibilities, but it turned out that I really misunderstood them.

However, I blame them for not making it clear to myself.

Zhou Qiao said: "Your leg pain this time is due to a problem with the adjacent segment of the lumbar fusion before, and if you have surgery again, your age is indeed accompanied by a huge risk." ”

"So what should I do, is it really inoperable?" Uncle Zhao was a little disappointed. If Zhou Qiao couldn't do it here, he really didn't know where to go.

Zhou Qiao pondered for a moment, and then said: "It's not impossible, I have a new operation here, minimally invasive mode, no nails, no big surgery, it should still be able to solve your leg disease, but I don't know if you want to try?" ”

"Yes, yes, a hundred willing!" Uncle Zhao was suddenly happy, his eyebrows fluttered, and he said, "Doctor Zhou, I believe in you!" Just do it your own way! ”

His son frowned slightly, because of the new operation, listening to Dr. Zhou's tone, it seems that he has not done it for others before, and he doesn't know if the effect is good or not, isn't this using my father as a guinea pig?

However, seeing that his father was so excited and eager to try, the son thought for a moment, and then he was silent.

Because, in the whole of San Francisco, it is estimated that Zhou Qiao is willing to operate on his father, and the strength and reputation of the Iris Clinic are the best in California, and many times even surpass the University of California Medical Center.

And, what did Dr. Chow say? Minimally invasive!

Isn't it the most beautiful solution that such a serious disease can be solved with minimal invasiveness?

The old father is so old, it is really not suitable for major surgery anymore.

So, Zhou Qiao explained the minimally invasive surgery plan to Uncle Zhao and his son in detail, not to mention anything else, at least it sounded quite good, and it was easy to understand, and Uncle Zhao and his son quickly agreed to the operation.

In terms of cost, the other party can also accept it.

Next, Zhou Qiao called Jin Jizhen and arranged Uncle Zhao to the orthopedic ward of the community hospital to do preoperative preparations.

After everything was ready, Zhou Qiao took Murphy, Nanako Chiba, Park Xiuzhu and Kim Ji Jin into the operating room.

Stephanie also had a few patients for psychological counseling, and she couldn't spare time for the time being, so she didn't come.

Zhou Qiao looked at the people present, without Elena and Ava, it was quite uncomfortable.

Jin Jizhen also plays songs, but none of the songs she chooses do not meet Zhou Qiao's "aesthetics", and they are not bad, but they don't smell that way no matter how you listen to them, and they don't sound so comfortable to your ears.

Even if it's the same song, it's not good to put it out.

Zhou Qiao shook his head and smiled, he was hypocritical. This is because the song is not good, it is obvious that I miss Elena and Ava.

However, the song is not "pleasant", it doesn't matter, it doesn't affect his surgery.

What's more, it's just a minimally invasive surgery.

The difficulty of this procedure lies in the creativity, in the design of the surgical plan, not in the specific operation.

During the operation, Zhou Qiao only made two small incisions, and the whole process was carried out with the assistance of spinal endoscopy.

Grinding away the bone of the patient's hyperplasia and compressing nerve, biting off the ligamentum flavum that proliferates and compresses the nerve, so that the nerve that was severely compressed before is completely released......

The operation took only half an hour, and the two small wounds, one 0.3 cm and the other 0.8 cm, were both less than 1 cm, which was not worth mentioning compared to such a large operation.

In the other party's surgery seven years ago, the incision was ten centimeters long, and you can still see obvious centipede-like hideous scars.
