Chapter 407: Grace's Peculiar Experience of Adolescence

Grace was in pain, there were always two villains fighting in her head, and she couldn't sleep at night, and she was almost tortured to madness.

Then I had nightmares at night, one by one, and I woke up crying several times at night.

She came to Stephanie Psychiatrist for help, hoping that Stephanie would help her with her next visit as soon as possible.

Stephanie was secretly ashamed in her heart, because if she had strictly followed Zhou Qiao's plan, there would be no such problems.

Fortunately, everything is still under Stephanie's control, and it will soon be able to soothe Grace's "wounded" heart.

So, Stephanie arranged her job and started hypnosis for Grace again.

She decided not to "teach" Grace anymore, but to finish all the treatments as soon as possible so that she could get back to normal as soon as possible.

After the remaining three consultations, Grace visibly felt better, and at the same time, an unforgettable experience from the past came to mind.

It's not that she didn't remember before, but she suppressed herself from thinking about it and didn't dare to face it.

Now you can take it lightly.

After all, after so many years, the pain that should have been there has long been "scabbed", and with the help of Stephanie, most of the "dark wounds" in her heart have been resolved. It's not that overwhelming.

Stephanie's level is still very high, and she has unearthed the special experience of adolescence that she has hidden in the bottom of her heart and has never told anyone.

…… (The details are too exciting to describe)

Then, not long after, tragic things happened, Helen was accidentally swept away by a big wave while surfing and drowned.

Grace can't forget Helen, after so many years of searching, she just wants to find a girl as good as Helen and protect her.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find it.

When Grace woke up from the hypnotic state, she was already in tears, and her pretty face was full of regret, sadness, and relief...... All kinds of emotions, eventually, calm down.

Stephanie sighed, "This is a poor girl, too. ”

Who would have thought that there would be such a tragic past under the glamorous exterior?

"It's all over, let's start a new life!" Stephanie reassured.

"Thank you."

Grace recovered from her illness and packed her bags and returned to the Massachusetts General Hospital, where her old father, Dr. Albert, was relieved.

Sophie was sad.

Grace came back and made a big trip to treat her to a big meal.

Sophie was still happy before the reunion, and Grace finally returned.

It's a pity that she never expected that this would be a breakup meal. The last meal.

"I'm going to ...... I moved to San Francisco, and I ...... Never again. Seeing Sophie happily finish her dinner, Grace said something heartbreaking.

Sophie paused, her delicate body trembled, looked at Grace, saw that she looked extremely serious, and with endless apologies, Sophie couldn't help but feel sad from her heart, and when she "brushed", tears rolled down.

"Is it really impossible for us?" Sophie said trembling and tearful.

"I'm sorry!" Grace sighed. Speak your mind.

"What? Are you in love with a man? Falling in love with that Dr. Chow? Oh, my God! Sophie was sad and shocked, desperate and pessimistic.

It's just a breakup, and it's actually empathetic.

It's just a matter of empathy and don't fall in love, but I actually changed my orientation.

That is to say, there is basically no possibility of reuniting after breaking the mirror.

At the thought of this, Sophie wept in the restaurant.

……

"Father, I want to work at the Iris Clinic." The next day, Grace went to find her old father.

"Don't they want you?" Dr. Albert said.

"No, don't be cheeky enough to stay over there." Grace immediately told her father what she had seen at the Iris Clinic and how many girls she had disconnected, much to Dr. Albert's surprise.

"Father, I think if I had such a good competitive environment over there, I would have grown faster!" Grace is full of longing.

Although she lost the gambling agreement, she accepted it calmly, but neither Zhou Qiao nor her old father, Dr. Albert, made any requests.

It seems that as long as she is healthy, everything is easy to say.

However, Grace can't be ignorant herself, she wants to do something to make up for Zhou Qiao.

What's more, Zhou Qiao's eight-pack abs have taken root in her heart and have never forgotten it, and then, she is now very curious about Zhou Qiao, very curious.

When she was at the Iris Clinic, she was already shocked to find that Stephanie, Murphy, and Nanako Chiba ...... turned out to be Zhou Qiao's girlfriend. Moreover, Stephanie and Murphy are also pregnant, needless to say, they are all Zhou Qiao's species.

None of them are married, the kind that live together.

She was secretly wondering, what kind of charm does Zhou Qiao have, how good, how awesome, so that so many stunning girls are desperate for him? She also wanted to experience it.

"Don't worry, they will accept me, after all, your daughter is also a medical genius, and many institutions are rushing to ask for it, isn't it?" Grace joked.

"That's just as well." Dr. Albert nodded, "Don't force it, though, and come back anytime if you're not happy." ”

He is relieved that his daughter has grown up and it is time to be truly independent.

Anyway, with his backing, my daughter wants to come back to work at Massachusetts General Hospital, and she can do it at any time. It's like letting my daughter go to California to relax.

Always by his side, there may be more opportunities for surgery, but in terms of personality, after all, it is not much growth. He couldn't protect his daughter for the rest of his life.

While he is still tough, he still has time to let his daughter break in.

Grace soon returned to San Francisco to join the Iris Clinic.

Because she was going to be "stationed" for a long time, she only stayed in the hotel temporarily this time, rented an apartment near the iris clinic, simply packed up and moved in, and then vacated the hotel house.

Others may be surprised why Grace is back, but Stephanie is not surprised at all, she knows this chick too well, and she knows Zhou Qiao too well. Shrug your shoulders in welcome.

This kind of thing, where can I stop it, how could Zhou Qiao's LSP let go of such a delicious person. Since you can't stop it, let her join it calmly.

As Stephanie had thought before, there wasn't much more like this.

Stephanie reported the news of Grace's arrival to Zhou Qiao and asked him what to do. Zhou Qiao replied lightly: "You look at the arrangement, let her follow you to learn surgery first." You're both pregnant, let her share a little more. ”

"How much is the salary?" Stephanie asked.

"It's the same as Nanako Chiba."

“OK。” Stephanie hung up the phone and pouted, and a word came out: "Scumbag!" ”

She knew that Zhou Qiao would say this, and reporting to him was just a process, after all, Zhou Qiao was the boss and needed Zhou Qiao's salary, and it could also make others have nothing to say.

She wanted to tell Murphy and Nanako Chiba that it wasn't her own decision.

"Welcome aboard. Our clinic has a tradition of welcoming dinners, but now that Zhou Qiao is not here, let's postpone it. Well, we're going to have a neurosurgery next and you're going to be involved in learning about it. ”

"What surgery?" Grace perked up, and the light in her blue eyes flickered. She also wanted to improve, and she felt that her talent should not be weaker than that of Murphy and Stephanie.

At Massachusetts General Hospital, there may be multidisciplinary consultations due to the distinction of departments, but as a surgeon at the heart center, to be honest, it is very difficult for her to have access to neurosurgery, let alone the chief surgeon, unless she changes departments.

But the Iris Clinic is different, it seems to be a rather alternative general practice clinic, which can take any surgery, dare to take it, and can do it well. That's what makes it better than Massachusetts General Hospital, especially for a medical genius like her.

Because ordinary people have limited learning ability and receptivity, just one department, after spending a lifetime, can be proficient in the operation of their own department is already very remarkable, and can be called an expert.

A medical genius like her, placed in a single department, is a bit condescending, and her future achievements are limited.

No, here's the opportunity.

"It's a trigeminal neuralgia patient. Let's go to the conference room, and I'll explain to you the patient's condition. Stephanie led Grace to the conference room.

Soon, Grace understood the condition.

The patient is an old woman, 82 years old, her face sometimes has severe pain like electric shock and knife cuts, she was treated in other clinics before, due to her age, the doctor recommended medicine, and the pain can be slightly relieved after taking medicine, but after a long time, taking medicine does not work.

Moreover, after taking too much medicine, I also had dizziness, unsteady walking, and fell a few times on the lawn, but fortunately there were no fractures.

Then the family went to the doctor again, and the doctor said that he could do a craniotomy, or minimally invasive surgery, but he couldn't do it there, so he was referred to the iris clinic.

Stephanie received the consultation and examined the pain area of the grandmother, and found that the patient's pain was located in the innervation area of the second branch of the left trigeminal nerve, and the light touch of the left upper lip induced severe pain, and the attack lasted for 1~2 minutes.

Looking at the previous CT and MRI reports brought by the patient's family, Stephanie ruled out the possibility of intracranial tumors, and in addition, the patient had no history of facial shingles, so she was diagnosed with primary trigeminal neuralgia.

Now the elderly are being admitted to the community hospital, and the preoperative preparations have been completed, and the operation will be carried out this afternoon.

"What we are going to do this time is a small minimally invasive surgery, the full name is CT-guided circular hole puncture trigeminal nerve second branch extracranial radiofrequency ablation, here is the surgical plan and some information, take a look at it first, you can ask me if you have any questions." Stephanie accepted apprentices on behalf of her husband and did not hide any selfishness.

On the other hand, she and Murphy are both pregnant now, and although both of them are physically extraordinary, it is naturally best to have someone to share. And CT has radiation, although it is separated by a room and there is a barrier in the middle, but it is not good to have too much contact.

After Grace looked at the surgical plan, she admired it very much, and quickly got started, although she had not done it yet, but she had simulated it several times in her mind. I have to say that some people's talent is strong and they learn everything quickly.

After communicating with her, Stephanie smiled, "Otherwise, you will be in charge of the whole process this time, and I will guide you on the side." ”

"Huh? Is that good? ”

"What, no faith?" Stephanie said excitedly.

"Not really. Try it! Grace blinked, refreshed. At Massachusetts General Hospital, she was also quick to get started with minimally invasive cardiac surgery and became proficient.

Stephanie suddenly remembered Yang Xuejun, and couldn't help laughing: "If that Cherry Yang is here, she can easily solve the patient's pain with a slender stainless steel needle without the help of CT and other equipment, but we have to use various advanced equipment to do the operation." In the field of pain treatment, it has to be said that Chinese medicine has unique features. ”

"Huh?!" Grace suddenly became more curious about Yang Xuejun. Because, the girl who can get such praise from Stephanie must also be unique.

She said to herself, is Chinese medicine really so magical? She had heard of acupuncture, but had never experienced it.

Traditional Chinese medicine does have advantages in this regard, even on the street, anytime, anywhere, a disposable sterile packaged stainless steel needle can be operated.

Even if it is not sterile packaging, it can be used by rubbing with an alcohol cotton ball or disinfectant wipes.

And these things, Yang Xuejun usually carries with him.

Who would have thought that her expensive LV bag would contain these worthless but life-saving things?

Of course, there are not many of them, and they are the kind of independent small sealed packaging, where the alcohol has been completely absorbed by the cotton pads, and the packaging is intact, so there will be no safety hazards.

And just a few pieces for emergency use, the kind that can be replenished at any time when they are used up.

Trigeminal neuralgia is a common head and face pain disease, known as "the first pain in the world" due to the severity of the pain. The disease is more common in middle-aged and elderly people over 40 years old, and women are more common than men.

The seizure site is usually in the area innervated by one or more branches of the trigeminal nerve on one side of the face, such as the supraorbital and frontal muscles; Side-nose, cheeks, upper lip; Lower lip, mandibular area, lingual side. The extent of pain does not extend beyond the midline of the face and does not extend beyond the distribution of the trigeminal nerve. Occasionally, there are only about 3% of patients with bilateral trigeminal neuralgia.

It is not difficult to diagnose, but the choice of treatment is critical.

The principles of the Iris Clinic are: priority in diagnosis and differential diagnosis, sequential treatment in response to cause, priority in extracranial radiofrequency in radiofrequency therapy, individualization of treatment selection, and assurance of informed consent of the patient.

Extracranial radiofrequency technology involves CT-guided insertion of a thin radiofrequency needle into the hole in the skull of the trigeminal nerve in the face, followed by radiofrequency therapy.

To put it simply, a thin needle is used to burn off the diseased trigeminal nerve because it does not enter the skull, thus reducing the risk of bleeding and infection.

It is a low-risk, ultra-minimally invasive procedure.

Grace is proficient in anatomy and knows the trigeminal nerve in the human face, and this surgery is not difficult for professionals like her, so she is confident that she can do it.

Because Stephanie is pregnant, she puts on a thick protective suit and guides Grace on the side.

This surgery is easy to say, but the actual operation is actually quite difficult, and ordinary doctors really can't do it.

This is because, during the operation, the puncture needle needs to be punctured into the foramen ovale at the base of the skull with a diameter of about 3 mm in a near-blind state, which requires a very high level of the surgeon.

In addition, it is necessary to cooperate with the surgeon, anesthesiologist, and CT technologist to achieve good surgical results.

Grace positioned it accurately, inserted it smoothly, and then used the test voltage of only 0.1 milliamps to test the original pain, and quickly called it a day.

It can be said that the first shot showed a superb level.

"Congratulations, Dr. Grace, for your first independent neurosurgery!" Stephanie gave a thumbs up, and said in her heart that this girl's qualifications are not weaker than me and Murphy, no wonder Zhou Qiao, the LSP, is so accustomed to her and designed a thirty-six-step diagnosis and treatment plan for her.

However, Zhou Qiao is not bad for her, she has done wrong things before, Zhou Qiao also tolerates her, a very milky man, except for the flowery heart, he doesn't seem to find any fault.

She is pregnant, and she hasn't been grinding with Zhou Qiao's sideburns for a long time, so she can't help but think strangely.

The news of the successful completion of the operation reached the clinic, and Murphy and Nanako Chiba also expressed their admiration.

The two of them glanced at each other, and a thought came to them at the same time, that is, with one more helper, everyone would be much easier.

Especially Nanako Chiba, seeing Murphy and Stephanie's bellies getting bigger and bigger, if these two go on maternity leave and breastfeeding leave, it's all up to her, and she won't be tired to death.

Now that she has Grace, Nanako Chiba also hopes that Grace will grow up as soon as possible and share the pressure of work.

As for the rest of the doctors and nurses, naturally, there were all kinds of congratulations. After all, she is the champion of this year's National Surgery Competition, and in their opinion, it is normal for Grace to have such a performance.

After Zhou Qiao found out, he also sent a congratulatory email.

Park so-joo learned that Grace's orientation was normal, so she dared to let Yoona come to the clinic to do her homework and read books.

When Grace saw Park Yuna, her eyes lit up, and she said in her heart that she was such a beautiful little girl. It's a pity.

Because, her orientation has long been normal, but she doesn't have that heart-pounding feeling.
