I run a clinic in the United States

Chapter 2 System Activation

The two young nurses looked at him in surprise, and one of them couldn't help but asked softly: "Qiao, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Zhou Qiao waved her hand and said, "I'm fine, I'm just a little sad when I think of my aunt's death."

"Anna must have gone to heaven, so we don't have to be too sad." Elena comforted her.

She saw Zhou Qiao's hard work and responsibility these days, and felt a little sorry for Zhou Qiao.However, Zhou Qiao actually turned a blind eye to her affectionate expression.

"What a nutcracker!" Elena secretly complained.Her emerald eyes turned slightly, watery, and she had a plan in mind.

……

At night in the beautiful country, Zhou Qiao actually didn't dare to go out.Will be chug.

The two little nurses are also very well-behaved, and they are busy in the clinic.Although the clinic is closed these days, things that need to be sorted out still need to be sorted out.Now that everyone is gone, only the two of them are left.

Not to mention anything else, just the hygiene on the third floor will kill them!

Zhou Qiao was a little worried, the clinic was about to open, but he hadn't obtained the U.S. occupational physician qualification certificate.

There are two levels of clinicians in the United States, residents and attending doctors.The attending physician is for life.

This is different from China, where there are various titles.In addition to residents and attending physicians, there are also associate chief physicians and chief physicians, as well as associate professors and professors in the teaching department.

Among them, associate professors are divided into levels 5-7, full professors are divided into levels 1-4, and above that there is the top honorary title - academician.

As for interns, no matter whether they are domestic or foreign, they are not considered formal doctors.

Two young nurses were doing hygiene, while Zhou Qiao was busy in the office, sorting out the clinic's information and getting familiar with the business.

He looked at it, and the main source of income for the clinic is to treat some patients with colds, fevers and diarrhea, or to deal with some simple traumas.

Then there are follow-up visits for some patients over 35 years old, blood lipid, blood pressure, blood sugar screening, obesity, smoking cessation and other health consultations.

It's just that San Francisco is an international city with too many private clinics and too much competition. My aunt's clinic seems to be averagely competitive.

Some simple minor surgeries can be performed here, such as the first simple appendectomy, the first simple hernia repair, abortion, circumcision, foreign body removal, nevus core, nevus fistula surgery, etc., but Complex ones won’t work.

However, San Francisco is an international metropolis. Although it is a bit bigger, it is extremely prosperous. There is the University of California Medical Center a few kilometers away. The full name is the University of California, San Francisco Hospital, ranking fifth in the world.

Everything that can't be fixed is sent there.

In the past few months, my aunt performed the surgery herself, rented the advanced operating room and equipment of the University of California Medical Center, and performed a heart stent surgery on a patient.

However, there are not many such "big business", and we only encounter them only a few times a year.

Since the clinic is temporarily closed and the door is closed, no patients will come tonight.

Time flew by, and it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening.The two little nurses have gone to bed.

Zhou Qiao came to the third floor, took a quick shower, burned three sticks of incense in front of her aunt's body, and then returned to her bedroom.

Auntie's original room has not been moved for the time being. Zhou Qiao lives in a utility room that has been tidied up. It is relatively small, but it faces the street and has a window, so it is quite comfortable to live in.

There is no separate bathroom, and there is only a public bathroom on the third floor.

This is because the house is a bit old, the design is not in line with current trends, and my aunt has not renovated it.

The bathroom does not have a bathtub, only a shower.

There are a lot of girls' toiletries inside, and even the underwear that Elena and Ava changed out of are sometimes not collected, but hung on hooks or thrown into the dirty clothes basket.

For this reason, Zhou Qiao took a bath very quickly every time, and didn't dare to stay in it for too long.

If I stay there for a long time, I'm afraid that people will have some bad ideas.

The two little nurses lived at the other end of the corridor, while Zhou Qiao lived next to the bathroom.At that time, I chose this room mainly because it was convenient to go to the toilet at night.

For two young nurses, they have to travel a long way to come here at night.

Then, Zhou Qiao fell into a drowsy sleep, and suddenly heard a "plop" in the nearby bathroom, accompanied by a slight scream.

Zhou Qiao woke up instantly and hurried over to investigate.

The light in the bathroom was on, and Zhou Qiao asked: "Is it Elena or Ava? What's wrong?"

A voice, either Elena or Ava's, came from inside: "I fell, sprained one foot, and can't get up. The bathroom door is open, please come in and help me!"

Zhou Qiao gently turned the handle, and sure enough, the door opened. Then he saw the white nurse wearing a loose nightgown and falling to the ground. Her left ankle was swollen.

"I may have broken a bone, or dislocated!" Elena exclaimed.

She originally just wanted to fall lightly and let Zhou Qiao come to save her, and then there might be some sparks between the two of them... But it turned out to be self-defeating, and she actually twisted her foot.Maybe it's too slippery!
What she never expected was that, with just a twist, it swelled up in an instant!It looks a little scary!

Zhou Qiao stepped forward and knelt down, inspected carefully, and pressed lightly with his fingers. Elena couldn't help but scream. Zhou Qiao looked up and saw that there was a vacuum in her loose nightgown. He couldn't help but feel the blood rushing up. , I almost had a nosebleed!

He quickly calmed down and said: "This is not a dislocation or a fracture. Those two situations will be much more serious than yours. This is most likely a muscle sprain or a slight bone fracture. Let me help you. Apply ice, put on a stent, and go to the medical testing company for a CT scan tomorrow morning."

A broken or dislocated ankle, is not the case.Especially dislocation will be even more terrifying!It's not just a swelling, you can see the shape of the bones through the skin!
Because the flesh and blood on the ankles and feet are relatively thin.

Some used too much force and suffered open dislocations. Not only were the soft tissues injured, there was a lot of bleeding, and even the bones were poked out. You can see the white bones and broken tendons, the bloody kind.

Zhou Qiao thought to herself, it is really inconvenient that there is no X-ray and CT in the clinic.However, these two devices are old and expensive, and it is estimated that they cannot afford them for the time being.In addition, after buying the equipment, it is necessary to hire people to operate and maintain it, which is a huge expense.

There are ready-made commercial imaging centers out there, why not use them?
"En." Elena felt a little better.

She couldn't walk or even get up. After thinking about it, Zhou Qiao simply picked her up and walked to his room.

"What are you doing?" Elena pretended to be angry, but in fact the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. She was feeling dizzy, and the pain in her ankle seemed to have eased.My heart said it would be better if I wasn’t injured!

Zhou Qiao put the white nurse on the bed and said, "It's too far to go downstairs. You wait here and don't move. I'll go downstairs to get ice cubes, gauze, and a stent."

Before leaving the house, he couldn't help but turn around and ask: "By the way, are you Elena or Ava?"

"I'm Elena."

Zhou Qiao nodded, turned around and went out resolutely.

Elena glanced at Zhou Qiao's back and thought to herself, this brother is quite handsome, and he is careful and gentle.

She hugged her knees and couldn't help but groan again because her ankles really hurt.

Soon, Zhou Qiao brought gauze, ice and braces, and also specially brought a painkiller.

Elena's ankle was so swollen that it was actually a hematoma.

Because it is caused by muscle sprain, blood vessel rupture, and massive internal bleeding in a short period of time, use ice compresses to stop bleeding within 24 hours, no more than 20 minutes each time, and then switch to heat compresses after 24-48 hours.

If you apply heat now, it will only aggravate the bleeding!

In the dead of night, in the small room, Zhou Qiao knelt beside the bed, very gently helped Elena stop the bleeding, bandaged her, and fed her a painkiller.

"But, Joe, it still hurts me so much!" Elena couldn't help but frown.

Zhou Qiao smiled and said: "How can medicine work so quickly? If you want to relieve it, you can lift your feet and let the blood flow back to the roots of your thighs."

"Elevate your feet?" Elena said in her heart, you asked me to raise them!
Suddenly I couldn't help it, I wanted to see Zhou Qiao's reaction for a while!
"Yeah." Elena is also a nurse, and she also knows that lifting can relieve pain, so she immediately raised her slender, white legs!

With this lift, the hem of the nightgown slipped off immediately, revealing an endless beauty.

It is so beautiful that it should only exist in the sky!

Because Elena is actually a vacuum!
Zhou Qiao: "..."

Elena is youthful and beautiful, with a graceful figure and snow-white skin, which is alluring. Zhou Qiao was stunned for a moment. He was also full of energy. He was dizzy and impulsive. He rushed towards her like a hungry tiger attacking a sheep. !

Elena struggled.

Zhou Qiao woke up instantly and felt that he could not make a mistake. He got up and wanted to escape!

Suddenly, the little hand behind him pulled him back!

……

An hour later, Elena lay on the bed and fell into a drowsy sleep with a smile on her lips, sleeping very soundly.She had just been injured and was really exhausted.

Zhou Qiao hugged her, closed his eyes, but did not sleep, he "stared" at the virtual panel and golden font that appeared in his mind, shocked!
