Future Medical Devices Co., Ltd. is now in full swing and has selected a new site in Silicon Valley to build a new factory.

In the future, the R&D team, sales team, etc., will have to be relocated.

On the day the factory broke ground, Zhou Qiao was invited to come over to dig the first spade, which is quite a ceremonial thing, and it is as important as the "ribbon cutting" of the opening after completion.

Zhou Qiao's company, although it has more than 300 employees, is still "small" compared with the world's giants, so the groundbreaking ceremony is relatively simple, and some dignitaries were not invited to attend.

If he wants, he can also invite Governor Hulk and some upper-class people in California to come over to fill the façade, and even invite some news media to come and report.

However, the new factory is really not particularly large, and the first phase of investment is only 20 million US dollars, which is a bit "unmanageable", so "everything is simple".

Several girls from the Iris Troupe, and some artists under Iris Media led by Talia also came to cheer.

Fang Yuanyuan and Chu Xuan came over to perform a lion dance, adding color to the groundbreaking of the new factory.

Qiaoya Bio Group also sent senior executives to congratulate and send gifts.

This is not a "bad habit" that Zhou Qiao brought from China, the groundbreaking ceremony, the groundbreaking ceremony, and the ribbon-cutting ceremony are quite popular in the United States.

Like the ribbon cutting, it itself originated in Western Europe or the United States.

Because there are several theories, the specific source is no longer available.

One theory is that in 1912, a department store in the United States was about to open, and the owner opened the door early in the morning and tied a cloth ribbon in front of the door in order to get a good fortune.

At this time, there were already many customers waiting for the official opening at the door, and no one expected that there would be a while before the official opening, but as a result, the owner's 10-year-old daughter ran out of the store with a pug and inadvertently broke the streamer.

Customers waiting outside the door mistakenly thought it had opened and immediately flocked in. The business is booming.

Soon, the boss opened a new store, thinking of the last experience, so he deliberately asked his daughter to break the ribbon in advance, and as a result, the customers were rushing in, opening the market, and making a lot of money!

When the news came out, people talked about it, thinking that it was a good sign that the youngest daughter broke the ribbon, so later a new store opened, and they all rushed to follow suit, and then gradually evolved into today's "ribbon-cutting" ceremony.

Another theory is that in the past, the shipbuilding industry in Western Europe was developed, and it was both Mediterranean and Atlantic, and every time a new ship was launched, it was a grand occasion that would attract countless spectators to come and watch.

In order to prevent accidents caused by crowds crowding towards the new boat, a "line of defense" was set up with ropes.

After the launching ceremony of the new ship was ready, the host cut the rope for the audience to visit. Later, the rope was changed to a beautiful ribbon, so there was a saying of "ribbon cutting".

When it comes to all kinds of superstition and formalism (sense of ritual), the United States is also a must, and it is not weaker than China in the slightest.

After Zhou Qiao attended the groundbreaking ceremony, he went to the office of Future Medical Devices in San Francisco to inspect the work and listen to the reports of various teams.

The team members naturally admired Zhou Qiao to the extreme, not to mention anything else, just the snake-shaped minimally invasive surgical robot became the company's "fist" product in one fell swoop, and the order was soft.

Sequoia Tree Hospital, White Rock Hospital, and Hope Hospital in East Africa are looking forward to this powerful and sci-fi surgical robot, but unfortunately, it is estimated that it will be a long time to wait.

Their orders can only be pushed back. After all, when selling something, it must be sold to outsiders first, and close to those big customers outside.

The R&D team of Future Medical admired Zhou Qiao the most, and after reporting to Zhou Qiao, they asked Zhou Qiao for advice, hoping that the smart and great doctor Zhou could give them a little "creativity".

A lot of times, creativity is important, especially R&D.

There is no novelty, no practicability, and the developed products are chicken ribs, and the competitiveness in the market is not strong.

In addition to asking for advice, the R&D team also has the meaning of patting Zhou Qiao's ass.

Even if Zhou Qiao doesn't say anything, they will automatically help Boss Zhou round the field.

Who knows, Zhou Qiao really has a suggestion.

I saw that Boss Zhou pondered for a while, then showed a mouthful of white teeth and said with a smile: "Actually, I happened to have an idea recently, and saying it can be regarded as throwing bricks and attracting jade." ”

The idiom of hugging bricks and attracting jade is strange to express in English. Fortunately, Zhou Qiao used a small metaphor to express the meaning.

Suddenly, in the conference room, the team members immediately became energetic, sat up straight, and listened carefully to the thoughts of the genius Boss Zhou.

Zhou Qiao glanced around at everyone, there is no shortage of masters and doctors, and there are even some scientific research maniacs, the kind that rarely entertains. Zhou Qiao asked these people: "I don't know if you have played VR games?" If not, have you seen a 3D movie? ”

Some members nodded their heads and said, "I've really seen it." ”

"I like to play VR games the most, it's very exciting."

Someone quipped, "You're playing an adult version of a VR game, right?" ”

Everyone laughed.

A few female employees laughed even more exaggeratedly, giggling and trembling. Obviously, I usually don't see less.

Zhou Qiao smiled and said, "You can use 3D technology, or VR technology, in the product development of our medical devices, such as 3D microscopes." ”

A word wakes up the dreamer.

The R&D team members in the conference room were stunned for a moment, and then they were pleasantly surprised and began to express their opinions.

This meeting was more than two hours longer than expected, and everyone was still in high spirits when it was almost time to get off work.

Of course, it is a difficult process to realize the idea after it is created, but the idea of this VR medical auxiliary device is still very promising to be realized. After all, a lot of VR devices are quite advanced these days.

It's just that in the medical field, it is required to be more refined and precise. There must not be the slightest error, otherwise, the patient's life will be threatened.

"Boss, you're amazing."

"Yes, Boss Zhou, you are simply my god."

Everyone admired and gave a thumbs up.

CEO Jace Shepard also accompanied the whole process, and he also admired it, saying that the boss is the boss, and I don't know how he came up with this idea, this idea.

In fact, Zhou Qiao was inspired by Murphy.

Murphy can model in 3D virtually, and others don't know about it, but Zhou Qiao has a system that can easily detect her special ability.

It's just that Murphy is purely built on his own powerful mental power and imagination, without the help of any external objects.

Other doctors don't have the skills to do that.

But it doesn't matter, you can use some high-tech medical aids.

Zhou Qiao pondered that if a series of VR-assisted medical devices could be developed, it would be much more convenient for both examinations and surgeons.

In addition, VR is the direction and trend of the future. Medical technology should also keep pace with the times and strive to be the trendsetter of the times.

It is said that China's Huawei is about to launch aerial imaging technology, which can directly "embody" the image in 3D without the help of any screen or physical medium, and can be interactive.

If this technology can really be realized, it will be more than science fiction, it will be a bit of a "fairytale" flavor.

The medical field, naturally, can also develop in this direction as a branch.

Most of the current medical auxiliary equipment needs to use electronic screens, if you can be like Murphy, directly have virtual 3D hologram assistance, plus a variety of annotations, annotations, then the operation, it is simply twice the result with half the effort.

However, with the current technology, it is estimated that it will develop for several generations, and it will not be as good as Murphy's own special skills.

Murphy's skill is already a real "fairy tale".

It's a pity that this is the era of the end of the law, and she can't cultivate immortals, otherwise, casually visualizing Dacheng is simply an innate visualization of the Holy Body.

Zhou Qiao now has enough points, and has added points to the perfect level for all the medical skills he has, and also added points to several other girls, Murphy, Stephanie, Nanako Chiba, and Dr. Xiao Yang, all of whom are good at the peak of the master level.

Like Murphy and Stephanie, there are even a few items that have reached the same level as Zhou Qiao, the realm of perfection.

Of course, in terms of "all-rounder", Zhou Qiao is the most powerful and has the most extensive involvement. He is a real top-notch general practitioner.

As for the twin sisters, with their current status, it is unlikely that they will be engaged in nursing work anymore, so Zhou Qiao did not add some points to them.

After Zhou Qiao's addition, Dr. Xiao Yang has already surpassed her teacher, Dr. Xu, a national-level famous Chinese medicine doctor. Everyone says that she is better than the blue.

Not long ago, a case that occurred in the Hangzhou Famous Doctor Hall once again made Dr. Xiao Yang "famous".

There is a 16-year-old girl with a height of 1.7 meters, who suddenly has an unexplained high fever, and after three days of going to the fever clinic of a hospital near her home, her condition still does not improve.

Her parents took her to a tertiary hospital in Hangzhou, and the results shocked the family, but the treatment results were not satisfactory.

The girl's high fever has infected multiple organs such as the heart, liver, lungs, and kidneys, resulting in varying degrees of damage.

To make matters worse, her heart function also began to show signs of failure.

On the second day of hospitalization, the doctor issued a critical illness notice to the family.

His parents were devastated.

The hospital carried out a series of examinations and treatment measures for the girl, but in the end, there was no clear diagnosis or statement, and in order to relieve the girl's high fever as soon as possible, the hospital used hormonal drugs.

Unfortunately, it worked at first, but then it got worse and worse.

Initially, the antipyretic effect was maintained for 24 hours, then reduced to 12 hours, and then shortened to 6 hours. After that, the girl's body temperature rose back to 39°C.

The duration of the drug's effect is constantly shortening, and the condition is worrying.

Moreover, with hormones, it can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

After 9 days of ineffective treatment in a tertiary hospital, the girl's parents heard that Dr. Yang of the Famous Doctor Pavilion was very good at traditional Chinese medicine, so they came to the Famous Doctor for help.

They are thinking that even if Dr. Xiao Yang is not good, there are still many famous Chinese medicine doctors here. Western medicine can't do it, maybe, Chinese medicine can solve it?

Anyway, let's give it a try.

If it really doesn't work, they want to transfer to the hospital and take their daughter to the magic capital or the imperial capital for medical treatment.

Unexpectedly, after Dr. Xiao Yang received the consultation, he had a consultation with Dr. Xu, and soon, the master and apprentice prescribed a large and exceptional prescription for the addition and subtraction of a small dose of Qinglong Tang, and combined it with traditional Chinese medicine characteristic therapy to warm and replenish it, so as to regulate the girl's body in an all-round way.

To the surprise of the girl's parents, the girl's body temperature dropped from 39°C to 38°C after taking two doses of Chinese medicine, and there was no rebound. In other words, it is more powerful than the previous hormone drugs.

That alone is amazing!

Where can ordinary Chinese medicine have such a powerful ability!

The girl's family was hopeful.

As the girl's fever gradually subsided, Dr. Xiao Yang adjusted the dosage in the Chinese medicine prescription in time according to the girl's condition.

It's not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Five days later, a miracle happened.

After the precise syndrome differentiation treatment of pure Chinese medicine, the girl not only had a high fever and subsided smoothly, but also had a new mental outlook. Breaking free from the previous state of being bedridden, lazy and lazy, and losing appetite, he began to take the initiative to get out of bed and move, take a walk to recover his strength, and even had the idea of ordering takeout.

The family came and asked, "Can you let her eat takeout?" ”

After checking the situation, Dr. Xiao Yang smiled and said, "Light, don't be too greasy." ”

Fortunately, many takeaways in Hangzhou are not heavy tastes, and there is still a lot of choice.

What? There is no food in Hangzhou, is it a food desert?

How can it be.

Haven't you heard that there is a fashionably dressed young man, who flew from the distant south of Caiyun, and as soon as he landed, he couldn't wait to go straight to Vientiane City, robbed a gold store, and got a bite to eat?

It is said that this person has conducted special research and knows that the prison food in Hangzhou is good. I traveled thousands of miles to find a good environment.

After the girl was discharged from the hospital, the family sent a pennant to the famous medical center to express their gratitude to Dr. Yang and Dr. Xu.

However, Dr. Xu said in public: "In fact, this is all the credit of my good apprentice, and she is also leading the entire diagnosis and treatment process, and some of her views and opinions are now above me." ”

Everyone thought that Dr. Xu was trying to launch an apprentice, so he deliberately said so. Actually, Dr. Xu was telling the truth.

Dr. Xu's love for Yang Xuejun became more and more intense, and he felt that the closed disciple he received in his later years really didn't have to say anything, it could be said that he had picked up a treasure.

……

Iris Clinic.

A new KT board poster was posted on the clinic's billboard.

The "Iris Rare Disease Diagnosis and Treatment Center" was established.

This news was naturally released on Iris Clinic, Dr. Xiao Yang, Xue Qiao Selection, and Iris Media, these self-media accounts, and many people liked and commented.

The reason for this confidence is that in the past three years, the Iris Clinic has treated more than 20 types of rare diseases, and every patient has been properly and satisfactorily diagnosed and treated.

Tossing and turning in other places, repeatedly seeing bad diseases, coming to the iris clinic, often can "see the clouds" and "medicine to get rid of the disease".

The reason why this "center" was established and this "selling point" was naturally because patients with rare diseases were very "pitiful".

Rare diseases, also known as "orphan diseases", because there are few people who get sick, there is no relevant research, and in the medical field, they belong to "orphans" that no one cares about.

Drugs for rare diseases are also correspondingly called "orphan drugs". No one is going to invest a lot of money in R&D. In addition to some state institutions, public welfare projects.

Zhou Qiao hopes that rare diseases can not be "rare" and "orphan diseases" are not alone.

In addition, the cost of treatment for rare diseases is also high, which belongs to a big cake.

This disease is often a congenital disease, and it does not pick the rich and the poor, and there are many wealthy families who will have such patients. The fact that the Iris Clinic can provide such a good service is also a boon to these wealthy families.

As for children from poor families who unfortunately suffer from "rare diseases", it doesn't matter, they can come to Talia and Veronica, who are partnering to run a charitable fund that can help children with medical expenses who are really poor.

After the "Iris Rare Disease Diagnosis and Treatment Center" was listed, the overwhelming "hot spots" were operated, and the first patients came to visit.

The other party is a seventeen-year-old high school student living in San Luis Obispo, a white girl who should be young and attending various school parties, but before that, she has been on a long journey to seek medical treatment.

About eight years ago, nine-year-old Panmela Simmons began with occasional abdominal pain, often without warning, accompanied by significant nausea and vomiting.

Her family brought her to the Iris Clinic to tell the star doctors of the Iris Troupe about her condition and her past medical history, which was a sad tear.

"My daughter is really pitiful...... Mrs. Simmons said, rubbing her red eyes.

"When she got sick, she didn't know when she would come, sometimes two or three times a week, sometimes three or four times a month, and each time it would be as short as three days or as long as seven days. However, this disease is really too torturous. ”

"The most important thing is that there is no warning, like a boot that has not landed on the ground, and it will fall down at any time."

Mr. Simmons said: "Every time my daughter has a seizure, she will break out in cold sweat on her forehead, and no amount of painkillers will work, as if, as if, as if...... There's something in the stomach that is wringing, the kind that wants to crush all the internal organs of a person. ”

This feeling was naturally told to her by his daughter.

Faced with this strange disease, the Simmons family naturally took their daughter to seek medical treatment everywhere, and also went to a big hospital, did a lot of examinations, and checked the possible symptoms one by one, but never knew what the problem was.

If a rare disease is so easy to diagnose and treat, it is not called a rare disease.

Zhou Qiao was deeply sympathetic to Xiao Panmila's experience, thought about it, and asked: "In addition to abdominal pain, are there any abnormal conditions in the body?" ”

Mrs. Simmons pondered for a moment and added, "In recent years, some parts of her body have been swollen for no apparent reason. ”

"What are the parts?" Zhou Qiao asked.

Murphy, Stephanie, and Nanako Chiba also looked over.

Mrs. Simmons said, "It's different every time, it's weird, sometimes it's the hands, sometimes it's the lips, sometimes it's the face, sometimes it's the ...... Breasts, and then allergies, wrestling, etc., will also be inexplicably swollen in a big circle. ”

"This is quite an important piece of information!" Zhou Qiao nodded, and then asked Jin Jizhen to take Simmons' family to the rest area to rest temporarily, and he wanted to discuss the condition carefully with the members of the Iris Heavenly Troupe.

Everyone expressed their opinions, and in the end, one of the directions was locked, that is, hereditary angioedema.

It is also a rare disease.
