I run a clinic in the United States

Chapter 294: Only in this world
  This woman is Cecile Royea, 37 years old, a mother of three children who is full of suffering.

Twenty-six years ago, she developed a backward neck and needed to support her head with her hands to walk. Basically I can't see the road, but occasionally I can see clearly when I look sideways.

Naturally, it is not possible to walk for a long time, and can only walk a short distance.

17 years ago, I developed scoliosis, accompanied by walking difficulties, and my height was less than [-] meters.

If your body is like this, you will naturally be unable to work normally, have no income, and your family will naturally be poor. Fortunately, I have a husband. His husband is also a bit handicapped and is a lame. Otherwise, he would not marry her as his wife.

There are three children at home. Needless to say, life is difficult.

Basically, I'm living on relief.

For more than 20 years, Cecil Royeia has been living a miserable and "tenacious" life in the form of a "reverse folded man"!

Her upper body was in a "Z" shape, folded nearly 180 degrees to the right and back, and her entire head almost fit her waist, which looked particularly twisted and uncomfortable.

It’s hard for outsiders to watch, let alone the patient himself.

Zhou Qiao immediately admitted the woman to the hospital and placed her in the orthopedic ward of the community hospital to complete preoperative examinations.

Since the folding man had done a case before, Murphy and Stephanie had also been involved in the whole process, so everyone was familiar with arranging the examination and designing the surgical plan.

The woman's husband seemed very honest and kept thanking her.

Zhou Qiao told him not to be too polite and just take good care of his wife.

Elena curled her lips slightly and told Zhou Qiao in private: "That man may not love his wife. If he really loves her, he won't let her have three children!"

A normal life is painful and requires many hardships, let alone a woman with such physical conditions.

Zhou Qiao sighed softly: "It's not our turn to take care of other people's housework. Just cure her disease and help her relieve her pain."

After evaluation, Zhou Qiao felt that if the patient did not meet the kind-hearted Veronica and continued to delay the operation, there was a high probability that he would not live to be forty-five years old, and the patient was now thirty-seven years old.

If surgery is performed, life can be greatly extended. It should not be a problem until you are sixty or seventy years old. More importantly, it is not only about extending life span, but also improving the quality of life.

You can walk in the streets like normal people.

This is because it was discovered during the preoperative examination that Cecil Royea's spinal deformity had affected his cardiopulmonary function and caused a serious respiratory disorder. In a few years, he would develop into severe respiratory failure.

He was almost forty years old and his life was not long.

There are some other examinations that need to be completed, and the 3D parts and titanium rods required for the surgery also need to be customized, so the surgery is scheduled to start at noon the day after tomorrow.

Talia and Veronica lived in the hotel over the Lianhe Street Plaza. Naturally, they had a suite each. At night, Zhou Qiao quietly sneaked into Talia's room and had fun with her.

"How is your grandpa's condition?" Zhou Qiao asked with concern, hugging Jade Man'er.

The little fairy was full of fairy spirit and had a pleasant voice: "My grandpa can already get out of bed and walk on his own, his hands and feet can move freely, and he no longer twitches. Last Friday, the MRI of the cervical spine was reviewed, which showed that the lesions were significantly improved, and the doctor Jean has been discharged from the hospital and is now recuperating at home. From now on, he only needs to go to a clinic near his home regularly for follow-up treatment."

It is worth mentioning that that clinic is also owned by Kaiser Permanente.

After the last strike, the top management of Kaiser Permanente compromised and the salaries of medical staff were more or less increased. However, there are still some medical staff who left Caesars Group after the strike and found other jobs without looking back.

Because the new job they found has a higher salary than here after the salary increase. The other thing is, I was too violent before and I was afraid that I would be judged later.

During the negotiation, we agreed not to retaliate, but who knows?
  "Qiao, thank you. If it weren't for you, my grandpa would still be suffering." Thalia said tenderly.

"Why do we still need to be so polite to each other? As long as he recovers, I hope the old man can live a long life." Zhou Qiao said, but his movements continued.

"It's so itchy... don't make trouble..." Talia smiled sweetly, "My grandpa asked me about you and asked me to bring you some gifts to thank you. What do you think the gift is?"

Zhou Qiao raised his eyebrows: "Do you still need to guess? You are the best gift God has given me!"

Thalia was extremely happy, her eyes were as charming as silk, and the little fairy instantly became depraved: "Doctor, please enjoy it slowly that week..."

Delicious snacks can make people feel happy, which makes Dr. Zhou more comfortable in performing surgeries.

With the beautiful melody of a female version of "Nothing But This World", the operation began. "Moon Moon, please don't sleep. After these miserable days, it's nothing more than this..."

Zhou Qiao's move was naturally "ceiling level".

Cecil Royea's back was completely opened, exposing the nerve-dense spine. 22 titanium alloy screws were implanted into the side-curved vertebral body in sequence, plus 4 titanium rods as thick as chopsticks.

Of course, there are also a few places that are too bent to be reused, so they have to be discarded and replaced with high-strength parts made of 3D printed polymer materials. There are many micropores on it, which can grow together with the bones.

In fact, the same type of surgery can also be performed by top experts from other top hospitals in the United States. Perhaps the technology is slightly inferior to Zhou Qiao, but it is still not a problem to solve Cecil Royea's disease.

For this miserable woman, the biggest problem is actually money!
  This is not an incurable disease that can be solved with money. Unfortunately, they don't have it at home.

Fortunately, I met the kind-hearted Veronica. It can be regarded as a fate. Maybe Cecil Royea helped Veronica in her previous life, so in this life, Veronica came to save her.

Although this surgery is no longer a "surgical forbidden area" in orthopedics, there is a spinal cord in the spine, which is an extension of the central nervous system of the brain. It is mainly responsible for the reflex movements of the trunk and limbs, and transmits nerve information between the brain and the periphery.

When "opening" on the spine, even a millimeter error may cause irreparable serious consequences, leading to paralysis or even death of the patient.

In addition, extremely severe spinal deformity will basically lead to severe cardiopulmonary insufficiency in patients, so perioperative cardiopulmonary protection is very important.

It is necessary to ensure that the patient can tolerate the surgery and does not suffer serious lung damage. Let’s talk about the spinal correction issue. During the operation, vital capacity, partial pressure of oxygen, partial pressure of carbon dioxide and other indicators need to be closely monitored.

Little Njeli's previous surgery went smoothly, but every patient's situation is different. According to common sense, Cecile Royea is an adult and should have stronger tolerance.

However, something unexpected happened during the operation.

When Zhou Qiao was "inlaying" a 3D component, the anesthesia nurse suddenly prompted: "The patient's systolic blood pressure dropped sharply and his heart rate soared!"

Almost instantly, Nancy, who was playing on her mobile phone, and Ava, who was singing, rushed over and began to assist in the investigation.

Zhou Qiao carefully reviewed the situation and found that all his operations were perfect and did not trigger any "red lines". It was not that bad.

At the same time, Murphy and Stephanie also took urgent action.

Murphy's brain was working rapidly, and soon her eyes were fixed on the plasma being transfused: "Qiao, is the patient allergic to plasma?"

The words woke up the dreamer, and everyone immediately reacted.

After one operation, the patient's various indicators returned to "normal". The normal here refers to the normal during the operation, which is naturally very different from the usual.

It can be said that it was a near miss.

Normally, such a major surgery needs to be performed in stages, but Zhou Qiao's ceiling-level surgery can be done in one stage.

His aim is to allow patients to suffer only once, so try to suffer only once.

In fact, if he considers it from a profit perspective, he can make more money from the surgery fee by letting the patient do it in two or three phases.

But again, there is some money that can be earned, which gives you peace of mind and even a sense of accomplishment, but there is some money that you can’t even bother to earn.

After the operation, Zhou Qiao took a ruler and measured it. The patient was 120cm before the operation and 155cm after the operation.

Tall is naturally not tall, but in terms of height alone, she is actually not much shorter than Stephanie.

Zhou Qiao couldn't help but take a look at this little beauty, of course he was joking.

Stephanie was smart as ice and snow, and she immediately stared with almond-shaped eyes and said in her heart: "I thank you for using me as a measuring tool."

However, she immediately raised her head proudly. There are many women taller than me, but those who are more beautiful than me...

Okay, I admit that in terms of appearance, Murphy, Elena, Ava, and Talia are all not weaker than me. However, at the height of the mountains, these girls are all crushed by me. exist.

This queen's main focus is "big".

She decided to take care of Zhou Qiao tonight. How dare you make fun of me?
