I run a clinic in the United States

Chapter 155 Billionaires
Knowing that Zhou Qiao was leaving in a hurry and returning to San Francisco, Governor Hulk urged Zhou Qiao to ask for the bill.

Zhou Qiao took out her laptop, remotely logged into the clinic's billing software, and made an on-site calculation, asking the other party to pay 203 million dollars this time.

The secret medicine is 200 million, and the remaining 3 is the out-of-pocket cost of the surgery.

In addition, Medicare and insurance companies can get about 15 dollars.

Originally, he was thinking of sending a bill to Governor Hulk in a few days. After all, the amount was quite large. Although the governor was rich, he might not be able to come up with so much liquidity at once.

Unexpectedly, Governor Hulk had already prepared 500 million in cash, and immediately wrote a check for 210 million dollars, and the extra was considered a tip.

As for the remaining 1000 million, Governor Hulk is also preparing. As long as he is given ten days and a half a month, let alone 1000 million, even [-] million can be taken out.

Governor Hulk and Zhou Qiao made an appointment for the next operation, which will be around February 2th.

At that time, the Chinese New Year had already passed, and there was probably a new wave of medical mysterious points accumulated.

Zhou Qiao glanced at the twin girls and thought to himself, it will be harder for you to go back and redeem the Qiangshen Capsule again this time!

Elena and Ava looked at him and immediately understood. They screamed in their hearts, no hard work, no hard work!
They also noticed that it seemed that Zhou Qiao would become particularly brave after a while.

In fact, the silent period of Qiangshen Capsules has passed.

"Thank you, Doctor Zhou! Unfortunately, I can't take you to the airport!" Veronica reluctantly said.

"Hehe, take good care of your illness and relax your mind. After half a year, you will be a beautiful woman again!" Zhou Qiao said comfortingly.

Veronica looked at Talia and said, "Talia, can you send Dr. Zhou and the others for me?"

Thalia blinked and immediately agreed: "No problem!"

Governor Hulk personally sent them out and watched them get into the special car. As for the airport, he would not go to the airport and had already arranged a private jet.

He is busy with official duties and has to spend time with his daughter. He has too many things to do and he really can't leave.

As for the gift of red wine that was agreed before, he had already asked the driver to prepare it and delivered it to the plane in advance.

It is Mr. Governor's collection. More than 20 years ago, his own winery carefully brewed fine products. The stock is not much, and most people can't drink it if they want to drink it.

When Governor Hulk returned to the ward, he saw his daughter staring out the window in a daze, so he couldn't help but went up and touched her bald head lightly, and said with a smile: "Little baby, with a famous doctor like Dr. Zhou here, what are you worried about?"

Veronica said: "I'm worried about Dr. Zhou's safety, Daddy, if something happens to him, then I won't be treated? Why don't you send bodyguards to protect him!"

Governor Hulk laughed dumbfounded, and said: "You don't have to be too nervous. Don't worry, I have taken care of the officials in San Francisco and will take care of Dr. Zhou and his Iris Clinic. I guarantee that no one will trouble him."

Moreover, Governor Hulk has also checked Zhou Qiao's background in the past few days and learned that he and Luo Ya have a close relationship. There are also many members of the Violent Queen Security Company near the clinic, so there is no threat to his life.

It's okay for him to threaten others.

The Queen of Violence organization owns many security companies, laundromats, fast food restaurants, and mercenary legions abroad. The wealth they control is astonishing, and it has evolved into a huge monster. Even Governor Hulk is a little bit afraid now. point.

In particular, Luo Ya, a woman with many other official identities, complex connections, and interests with some big bosses, is very difficult to mess with.

I heard that she is still planning recently and wants to obtain the status of a Texas senator.He said he wanted to contribute to his hometown!
He didn't even know how Roya, a woman with no background, grew up.Maybe, everything needs talent.

Roya is a person who is born to be a leader!
Just like Dr. Zhou, it was hard for him to imagine how such a young Zhou Qiao could be so skilled in medicine and be able to surpass so many experts from prestigious schools!
On the second day after Zhou Qiao returned to San Francisco, someone came here admiringly.

Because, as soon as the news media reported and the news came out, many people were stunned.Some female celebrities or rich people who were also burned in the Hawaiian fire came after hearing the news.

One of the congressmen's daughters was the first to come. After seeing the report, she went to visit Veronica in person. Naturally, she admired Zhou Qiao's therapeutic effect very much, so she begged her father to bring her here.

The governor has "endorsed", how can this congressman doubt it?After coming here, he was very humble and polite.

The second patient is a rich man. His house in Hawaii was not burned down, but when he went to the beach, he encountered a fire in a coffee shop and was caught in the face by the sudden fire. Fortunately, he jumped into the sea in time. Only then did he save his life, otherwise, he might be buried in the flames.

At that time, the water was very hot, the mobile phone fell into the sea, and the female companion who was traveling with her also lost contact, unable to call for help, and could only drift with the current, watching the raging fire on the shore sweeping everything, feeling at a loss.

Patient No.3 is a female star, more famous than Simone, but not as famous as Thalia, and also suffered multiple burns on her body.

Fortunately, these people's burns were far less severe than Veronica's, and Zhou Qiao kept some medical secrets for backup, so he made an appointment with these people for surgery, and helped the three of them get rid of their illnesses in about two weeks.

Since their injuries were relatively minor, each person's medical expenses ranged from 200 million to 400 million.

In the end, it added up to more than 1000 million knives again.

Counting the 210 million that Governor Hulk paid before, the 100 million that Adriana gave, other odds and ends and the original cash of the clinic, Zhou Qiao's assets at this moment have exceeded 1400 million dollars.

According to the current RMB exchange rate, 1 US dollar is exchanged for 7.28 yuan, which is already a proper billionaire in China!

Of course, after the tax is paid, it may fall back again.American taxes are too heavy!
Moreover, the IRS is very powerful and pervasive. At first, Zhou Qiao thought about whether he could evade taxes, but later he paid the taxes honestly.

Because Luo Ya told him that although she also has an identity in the IRS, it is a pity that the inspectors of the IRS are not affiliated with each other. Reasonable tax avoidance is fine, tax evasion is fine, and there is no need to fight against the state machine for this.

The "armed tax collection" of IRS inspectors has always been very rough. This group of people has far more power than the police or even judges.

They can legally access all asset records of taxpayers, freeze assets, seize property, seal private homes, auction assets until tax loopholes are filled, and even put suspects in jail without going through a court trial.

Although after paying the taxes, Zhou Qiao became a "multimillionaire" again, but didn't Veronica still have more than 1000 million US dollars unpaid?
His "unique secret medicine" is here, this business can't run away, and the more than 1000 million yuan will be his own sooner or later.At that time, even if the tax is paid and converted into RMB, he will still be a billionaire.Not counting the fixed assets of the house of the clinic.

Zhou Qiao sighed, fortunately, he didn't sell the house and return to China, otherwise, how could he achieve such a small goal so quickly?

He looks forward to the day when small goals can also be achieved on the dollar.

Naturally, there are far more people with burns than these, but Zhou Qiao's charges are too expensive, so some people with limited financial resources are deterred.

Zhou Qiao just didn't have enough points, so he needed to save up for Veronica's treatment next month.

But Zhou Qiao's reputation as "California Medical Beauty No. 1" has spread. He believes that in the future, any rich client who needs scar removal will choose him here.

……

Iris Clinic, Internal Medicine Clinic.

Rachel is seeing Farah, a grandmother in her 70s.

Grandma Farah came to see a doctor a few days ago. At that time, Rachel thought it was a common cold, so she prescribed a prescription. How did she know that five or six days later, she still didn't feel better, and her cough worsened.

So, Rachel arranged for Grandma Farah to take a CT scan. Now, Rachel is watching the film.

Then it was discovered that the images of the lower lungs of the old lady turned white, which suggested that some kind of inflammation had appeared in the lung tissue.

"Dear Ms. Farah, you have pneumonia in your lungs. Let me prescribe another anti-inflammatory medicine for you." Grandma Farah took the prescription and went out to buy medicine.

But a few days later, Grandma Farah came back for a follow-up visit and took another CT scan. She still wasn’t feeling better and her condition was getting worse.

Rachel asked, "Fala, are you really taking your medicine on time?"

Grandma Farah said in surprise: "Of course I do!" After speaking, she couldn't help but started coughing.

Fortunately, Rachel is wearing a medical mask, and there are air purifiers in the clinic.

Rachel pondered for a while, then said, "Wait a minute, I'll call the other two doctors over for a consultation."

She felt that Grandma Farah's condition might be a bit complicated.

According to her previous habit of working in other clinics, this situation was directly referred to a large hospital.

However, she has been in Iris for a long time, and she understands Zhou Qiao's temperament, that is, no matter what the disease is, she can see it as much as she can, and she will not refer it unless it is absolutely necessary. At least, she has not seen Zhou Qiao refer a patient.

Of course, Zhou Qiao's medical skills are also really good. Almost every patient he meets can be treated with the best treatment.

This is also one of the reasons why she really admires this little oriental young doctor.

Zhou Qiao and Murphy came over, both wearing masks.

Then, Rachel introduced Grandma Farah's condition in detail, and showed them the CT scans taken twice before and after.

"It's obviously an inflammation of the lungs," Zhou Qiao said.

Grandma Farah had also heard of this young Chinese doctor, and knew that many people in the community respected him, so she asked anxiously: "Then why have I taken anti-inflammatory drugs for so many days and not gotten better? Is it right? Do you want an infusion?”

Zhou Qiao shook her head and said: "There is inflammation in the lungs, which may be caused by many reasons, some of which are related to infection, such as community-acquired pneumonia, which is a bacterial infection in the lungs, which can be improved with antibiotic treatment; some are related to infection. It is related to viral infection, and antibiotics are ineffective against viruses. In this case, antiviral drugs are needed, and short-term hormone therapy is needed in severe cases.

In addition to bacterial and viral infections, some autoimmune diseases can also cause lung inflammation, which requires other drugs and long-term hormone and immunosuppressant treatment.

If the real cause of the disease is not understood, hasty infusion will be ineffective. "

"Then what's going on with me? What medicine should I take?" Grandma Farah was so anxious that she coughed as she spoke.

In the past few days, she felt like coughing up her heart.Moreover, when people around her heard her coughing, they were like avoiding snakes and scorpions, which made her very embarrassed.

Zhou Qiao smiled slightly and looked at Murphy: "What do you think?"

He naturally wanted to test Murphy, who was born with medical seeds.As for himself, with the system in place, he already knew the real cause of the disease.

Murphy thought for a while, took a look at Grandma Farah's rough hands, stood up, came to the grandmother's side, and said, "Can you check your hands for me?"

The old woman said, "Of course."

She held out her hands.

These are very rough hands, like the hands of a man who has done heavy work for many years!

"You are so old, do you still work outside? What do you do?" Murphy asked.

Grandma Farah was taken aback, and said, "No. I'm retired and enjoying life every day."

"How long have you been retired?" Murphy asked.

Grandma Farah thought, does my illness have something to do with how long I have retired?
Rachel was thoughtful, while Zhou Qiao had a faint look of admiration in his eyes, saying to himself that Murphy is Murphy, he found a breakthrough so quickly!

Although Grandma Farah felt that Murphy's question was inexplicable, she still answered while suppressing her cough: "It's been more than ten years. I also did the kind of easy office clerical work when I was young."

"Then your rough hands shouldn't be caused by work, did they appear recently?" Murphy asked.

Grandma Farah was stunned and said quickly: "Yes, yes, it has been almost seven or eight days. I thought it was caused by the dry weather these days, and I am old and have dry skin."

Murphy lowered his head and looked carefully at the old woman's hands. At this time, he discovered that there was actually a faint dark red rash under the nail folds around the old woman's nails. This showed that in addition to pneumonia, the patient also had vasculitis.

Murphy looked at Zhou Qiao: "I suspect that Grandma Farah has interstitial pneumonia related to a special autoimmune disease, but further examinations are needed to make it clear."

Zhou Qiao nodded approvingly, and looked at Rachel: "What's your opinion?"

Rachel gave a thumbs up: "I agree!"

She really admired Murphy more and more. She deserved to be a gifted girl who got a doctorate in medicine at the age of 19 from a prestigious school!
In fact, Rachel has worked in grass-roots clinics for many years. She has quite a lot of experience in the diagnosis and treatment of some common diseases, but she has little experience in the screening of such difficult and miscellaneous diseases.
