I run a clinic in the United States

Chapter 121 "The Most Beautiful Tumor" - "Shark Weeping Beads" ([-])
Zhang Jianjun nodded: "I think so too, it's just..."

Boss Tang Yunxuan laughed: "If you have any difficulties, just tell me and I will help you in any way I can!"

Zhang Jianjun said with great embarrassment: "The surgery fee is still [-] to [-] yuan."

"Hey, I thought it was a big deal. Let's do this. I'll give you an advance of one year's salary. What do you think?"

"Thank you so much."

"Don't be so polite with me. We are also relatives after all."

Although they are distant relatives, Zhang Jianjun has been working for Tang Yunxuan since he came here. The two families do have more contact than at home.

Zhang Jianjun left after thanking him.

In the dead of night, Zhang Jianjun thought his wife should get up, so he made an international long-distance call back and told his daughter about her serious illness.

Zhang Jianjun’s wife was shocked. Wasn’t it because her face hurt?Why did a tumor develop?

Can't help but confirm again and again.

Zhang Jianjun said that it was absolutely true, because the head CT and MRI reports were very clear, and experts from the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center also helped to confirm it!
Zhang Jianjun's wife couldn't help jumping up and scolding the doctors she had seen before, saying that it was such a serious disease that none of them could diagnose it.Some of them are doctors in top three hospitals in provincial capitals.

"Then do the surgery quickly." Zhang Jianjun's wife said.

Zhang Jianjun said: "The fees here are a bit expensive. There are two. One is the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center. The quoted price is 180 million, and the self-pay is about 30. The other one is the Dr. Zhou I just told you about. Dr. Zhou is very good. Gao, he knew something was wrong at the first glance, and then he went to the doctor. The price he quoted was 110 million U.S. dollars, and he paid about 18 out of pocket, and the surgery was also done at the University of California Medical Center!"

Zhang Jianjun's wife was puzzled and asked, "Why is Dr. Zhou performing surgery at the University of California Medical Center? Is he a doctor at the University of California Medical Center?"

"No." Zhang Jianjun thought for a while and explained, "Many hospitals here are separated from doctors. Doctors almost have private clinics outside. Dr. Zhou also runs his own clinic. He and the University of California Medical Center should be the same. partnership."

"Is that level okay?" Zhang Jianjun's wife asked.

"What do you think? If the level is not good, we can't diagnose our daughter's disease." Zhang Jianjun pondered for a moment and said, "What I'm struggling with now is whether to take my daughter back to China for surgery? It should be cheaper in China."

"Then where can I do it in China? BJ? Shanghai?"

"I don't know either." Zhang Jianjun's eyes darkened and he asked, "If you have an operation in China, you should give the doctor a red envelope, right?"

"That's true. I heard from Sister Liu from the neighboring village that someone in their village had an operation, and it wasn't a major operation, so they gave the doctor tens of thousands of red envelopes. Our daughter has such a serious illness, and the red envelope must not be small. , I reckon, at least two to three hundred thousand?"

"...Let me think about it again, or do it in the United States. I know a lot of people here." Zhang Jianjun pulled his hair. In other words, San Francisco is really more familiar.

If I go back to my country, I don’t know which doctor is good at performing this surgery. If the doctor is wrong, the red envelope and medical expenses will be a trivial matter. The key is that it will delay my daughter’s condition and end up with facial paralysis, deafness, inability to swallow... ..., there is really no reason to go!
When it comes to medical troubles, he is used to living abroad, and he doesn't have many friends at home, so he is basically alone.

Even if the dispute is won and partial compensation is obtained, the daughter will be affected for the rest of her life.On the contrary, Dr. Zhou is more cautious here.

He admired Zhou Qiao's medical skills.

Last month, he went back to pick up his daughter. He stayed for less than two weeks and experienced a lot of hardships.

When taking a taxi, when he arrived at the destination, the driver asked him to scan the QR code, either Alipay or WeChat.

Zhang Jianjun: "..." He took out a hundred-yuan bill!
The driver was very speechless, and muttered: "I don't have any money here. Why don't you go to the small supermarket on the roadside to change some change!"

Still keep complaining, how come there is no mobile payment!

Zhang Jianjun had no choice but to explain that he had just returned from abroad and had not been home for many years.Can’t keep up with the times!
Fortunately, there was an alley in that place, and the driver drove the car into it. Otherwise, if he stayed on the side of the road for too long, he would be photographed and points would be deducted and fined.

Zhang Jianjun went to buy a pack of cigarettes, exchanged some change, and left sheepishly amid the driver's nagging.

Then he didn’t have much renminbi, so he wanted to go to the bank to change some, because it was hard to come back, so he had to bring some gifts for his relatives and friends back home.

In the end, I went to the bank counter, and the staff asked all kinds of questions. Zhang Jianjun said, I will change it to a few hundred dollars, not hundreds of thousands or millions!
But people just want to ask, how did this money come from?What are you going to use it for?What is your occupation? ... Questions like these confused Zhang Jianjun.

After "interrogating" for more than half an hour, I finally exchanged more than 4000 yuan, which made Zhang Jianjun tired.

Then he took a short break in the bank lobby, wanting to observe secretly. Did the staff deliberately target him?If so, he is going to complain!

Because when he was in China before, he had to queue up to deposit and withdraw money, but he had never encountered this.

As a result, it wasn't.

Almost everyone who came to do business at the counter was "difficult" for a long time.

There was a young man who said he wanted to open an account and apply for a bank card, but the bank counter staff asked all kinds of things, but they refused to do it for him.

For a while it is said that the other party does not have a work certificate, for a while it is said that the other party does not need it, and for a while it is other excuses...

The young man couldn't help getting angry, patted the table and shouted loudly: "Why is it so difficult for me to open an account?! You are not me, how do you know that I don't need it? What does it matter if I open an account and whether I have a job? I am a small Business, street stalls, are you not worthy of using your bank card?"

Counter staff: "Didn't you have a bank card before? Haven't you ever had to deposit or withdraw money? Why do you need to open a new account?"

Young man: "I don't want to use the previous one, can I?"

"If you can use it, why don't you want to use it?"

The two almost quarreled, but in the end the young man failed and left angrily!
Zhang Jianjun was dumbfounded.

Another person, a middle-aged woman, said that the bank card she had issued before had not been used for a long time, and now the money can be transferred in, but cannot be withdrawn.

The counter staff also asked a lot of questions, asking for various information to activate.

The woman repeatedly explained that she was a teacher because she had changed her salary card a few days ago. She had tried changing the card before and it still worked because the money could be transferred there.

She transferred one yuan in with her mobile phone, and she was able to check the balance.

Who would have imagined that the salary from the school has arrived in the account, but it cannot be withdrawn or transferred, so I thought of coming to activate it, and I also brought my ID card.

When she tried it with [-] yuan, the APP didn't remind her that she couldn't transfer it out, and she didn't expect this.

"Are you a teacher?" The counter staff was stunned for a moment, and then his attitude became slightly better. Then he checked and found that, sure enough, the teacher's salary had arrived, and there were notes in the details.But he still said: "Please go back and bring your work permit. I will help you complete the details and then handle it for you!"

Middle-aged female teacher: "..." She had a good temper and did not argue with the other party, but she had no choice but to go back and get her certificate.

Zhang Jianjun: "..." Very confused.

Then, the anger subsides.

Teachers with such a high social status are "made difficult". It is not surprising that he has no status.Fortunately, the bank staff treated him better than the young man setting up the stall.

It just felt inconvenient because he ran out of money quickly and had to go to the bank to change it.

It's still only a few hundred dollars, and the privacy of being interrogated is gone, and it took a lot of saliva.

He also wanted to change a little more at a time, but they refused to do it, saying that they needed to provide such materials and certificates.

Zhang Jianjun also tried to say: "That's not what I checked on the Internet. The Internet only said that each person does not exceed [-] per day!"

Counter staff: "Our branch now has new regulations. If you want to change a few hundred dollars, I can do it for you, but no more."

Zhang Jianjun was too lazy to argue.

Looking back now, I still have "lingering fears in my heart", and I heard my wife say that I have to give red envelopes to the doctor privately for surgery, and he doesn't know how much the domestic market is.

However, he knew about giving red envelopes before in China, and he absolutely had to give them. How could he rest assured if he didn't give them?
It's just that I don't know who to give it to.I don't know which hospital or which expert is better.

After thinking about it, I decided to do it here in San Francisco.

Dr. Zhou’s skills have also been recognized by experts from the University of California Medical Center!

He can also accept the price.

Tang Yunxuan's boss advanced his salary for a year, which not only made up for the shortfall in surgical and medical expenses, but also left him with twenty to thirty thousand dollars, which was enough for him and his daughter's daily life.

In addition, restaurants are now in charge of meals, and basically three meals a day do not cost money.

The next day, Zhang Jianjun asked his daughter's opinion again and asked her if she would like to have surgery with Dr. Zhou.

Zhang Mengjing nodded repeatedly, saying yes.

Because in her eyes, Dr. Zhou is not only of high standard, but also more handsome.If she could choose a doctor, with the same medical skills, she would also like to choose a handsome one to operate on her.

Zhang Mengjing was in pain all night, and the painkillers were not very effective. She stayed up almost all night, had severe dark circles under her eyes, and was listless.

Seeing his daughter in pain, Zhang Jianjun didn't want to take the time to go back to China and make troubles.

When I returned home, my eyes were darkened, and I tossed and tossed, and I don't know how long it will take.Moreover, it is not convenient to go to big cities, imperial capitals, and magic capitals, for basic necessities of life.

Here, the place is familiar and close to hospitals and clinics, so it is more convenient to take care of my daughter.

My wife also couldn't sleep all night. She called and talked with her daughter for a long time, crying like a tearful person on the other end of the phone.

Zhang Jianjun said, tell his wife to apply for a visa as soon as possible, and come here to take care of her daughter first.There is also a place to live.

After the family discussed it, Zhang Jianjun took his daughter to Iris Clinic again.

Zhou Qiao warmly received them.Zhang Mengjing was admitted to the hospital.Oh no, admitted to the clinic.

"Brother Jianjun, you can absolutely rest assured here. The nurses here are very professional and very attentive. They will definitely take good care of your daughter. You can even go back to work and come and see her after work. Just watch.”

Zhou Qiao also knew that if he didn't work, it would have a great impact on Zhang Jianjun. After all, the operation cost so much.

Zhang Jianjun took a look at the beautiful twin nurses, and felt relieved.I said in my heart that with such a gentle and sweet little girl taking care of my daughter, and the boss Zhou Qiao is an acquaintance, he can indeed go back to work with peace of mind.

Of course, he would still have to come and accompany her during the days of surgery.

Zhou Qiao asked Elena to prepare the consent form for the operation and other materials, while he took out the operation plan prepared in advance and explained it carefully to Zhang Jianjun and Zhang Mengjing.

Although the father and daughter could not understand, they were still listening carefully.I just think that Zhou Qiao's speech is really professional.

After listening to it, I couldn't help but feel more confident.

After Zhang Jianjun and Zhang Mengjing signed the surgery consent form, Zhou Qiao opened the order, prepared the letter, and asked Elena to take the father and daughter to the commercial testing center 800 meters away for further preoperative examination and complete the data. and information.

He took Ava and drove to the University of California Medical Center to negotiate a lease agreement for the operating room.Rachel and Murphy stayed at the clinic.

It's only a few kilometers away, and it takes about 10 minutes to arrive.

Since Zhou Qiao's aunt had previously made an agreement with the University of California Medical Center, the process went smoothly this time, which was equivalent to changing a legal person and applying for affiliation again.

At the same time, a reservation was made for the operating room dedicated to neurosurgery.

Zhou Qiao and Ava went to see this operating room in person. The equipment was very advanced, all supporting facilities were complete, and the price was within an acceptable range.

But, Ava doesn’t know how to debug.Because there were some equipment inside that she had never touched.

But Zhou Qiao knew it, so in the operating room, Zhou Qiao took Ava with him, teaching him step by step and debugging the equipment.Zhou Qiao is still very satisfied with the condition of the equipment.

In addition, he also wanted to get acquainted with the touch by the way.

Although the skills exchanged by the system are instantaneous, but if you familiarize yourself with them before the operation, you will have more confidence, and you will not appear hasty when performing the operation.

Ava feels so happy. First, many of the equipment here are novel and fresh, and she can learn new knowledge. Second, Zhou Qiao teaches her knowledge and skills step by step, which makes her very happy. Third, even the sound system is better than High-grade in the community hospital, the sound quality is very good.She began to think about what song to listen to when the time came.

The two of them were naturally very ambiguous. If it weren't for the monitoring everywhere in the operating room, something would have happened during the debugging.

After Zhou Qiao went back, she naturally wouldn't hide her secrets, and taught Murphy this minimally invasive nerve tumor removal technique.

Under Zhou Qiao's guidance, Murphy quickly reached the elementary level of specialization.

However, the level of specialization is really not enough for such a difficult operation.

The risk factor is as high as 99.99%, and without practice, even with Murphy's talent, he can't advance to the master level.

Even if he is promoted to the master level, the risk factor is still extremely high. Therefore, this operation can only be performed by Zhou Qiao himself!

Murphy also knew it well, and he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that Zhou Qiao was not asking her to be the surgeon, but asking her to be an assistant.

At the same time, she felt a little embarrassed inside. At first, she thought Zhou Qiao wanted her to be the surgeon!
She even thought about how to refuse and show that she was not up to the task!

She secretly swore that she must study hard to observe Zhou Qiao's operation on the spot this time. Such an opportunity is really rare.

At the same time, the neurosurgery doctors at the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center had previously known that Iris Clinic had treated a case of trigeminal neuralgia caused by cholesteatoma, because boss Tang Yunxuan asked someone to deliver the report and asked them to read it.

At that time, there were heated discussions in the department about how difficult the operation was, how to do it, and what sequelae would be caused by a little carelessness. Even many doctors with slightly less senior qualifications here felt the difficulty like the Alps!I feel that if I change myself, I really don't have the courage to accept such patients!
And experts with high qualifications also feel tricky.

Of course, if the patient comes over, they can also pick it up.At worst, it shouldn't be a problem for a few experts to join forces.It depends on the patient's own choice.

And now, things have made new progress!

News came that Zhou Qiao from the Iris Clinic brought nurses to the medical center to negotiate the lease of the operating room, and even went to the most advanced neurosurgery dedicated operating room to visit and adjust the equipment.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The neurosurgery staff were all talking about it, and it even spread to other departments.

For example, Dr. Crawford of the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, his eyes lit up when he heard about it, and he said to his colleagues, "This time Zhou Qiao has surgery, I'm going to visit it!"

Colleagues were stunned: "We go to the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery for neurosurgery?"

Dr. Crawford raised his eyebrows and shrugged: "Do you think I can't understand? Let me tell you, when I was an intern, I almost chose neurosurgery!"

"I didn't mean that, who doesn't know Dr. Crawford, you are very knowledgeable and proficient in diseases of many specialties!"

In particular, Dr. Crawford is also very knowledgeable about tumors, and he has published many high-level academic articles.

　There will definitely be more updates on weekends...
