I run a clinic in the United States

Chapter 337: A famous doctor’s consultation: “What kind of abnormal ability is this?”

Zhou Qiao hurriedly finished her meal and, accompanied by Dean Zheng personally, came to the famous foreign doctor's clinic on the right side of the first floor of the outpatient building.

There was also a poster placed at the door, with Zhou Qiao's handsome face prominently displayed on the poster.

Many people are waiting in the rest area.

At the entrance of the clinic, the nurse and several young doctors who were sent to study were also waiting in the clinic.

Seeing the dean bringing Zhou Qiao over, the nurses and doctors quickly stood up to greet him.

"Hello, Dean, hello Dr. Zhou."

"Hello everyone, you're welcome." Zhou Qiao looked at so many patients, then strode into the clinic and got to work.

The number is called and the consultation begins.

As for the schedule of visiting various departments planned in the morning, it was temporarily canceled because there was no time.

In fact, it doesn’t mean much to visit or not. Zhou Qiao will stay here for a long time, and there will be plenty of time in the future.

"You guys, study hard with Dr. Zhou." Dean Zheng said a few words softly and did not disturb Zhou Qiao's work.

The arrangements were made for female doctors, Yingying Yanyan, sitting behind Zhou Qiao.

Zhou Qiao had never used the diagnosis and treatment system of the County People's Hospital, so he had an assistant to help him at this time.

However, it wasn't that difficult. With Zhou Qiao's IQ, he got started quickly.

These doctors are all cardiac surgeons. One of them was a doctor who was just recruited last summer. The hospital valued them very much. This was a rare opportunity, so they asked her to join.

The doctor quietly looked at Zhou Qiao from the side. He thought he was handsome, but he looked younger than me. Is he really that awesome?

She had never seen Zhou Qiao undergo surgery.

The last time Zhou Qiao came here to fly knives, this doctor hadn't officially graduated yet.

As for this morning's surgery, she was not eligible to participate.

The doctor is a cardiac surgeon, and the patients who come to see him all have heart problems, because Zhou Qiao is the North American heart surgery champion. This is what the County People's Hospital promotes.

Previously, the County People's Hospital was not aware of Zhou Qiao's other ceiling-level skills, but he showed them during the morning surgery.

"Doctor, this is the examination report I did last month. Please help me take a look at it." A fat mother in her sixties, accompanied by her daughter, came over to see the doctor and handed Zhou Qiao a thick report.

Zhou Qiao took it and read it.

The old man's daughter asked: "During the previous examination, the doctor said it was calcific aortic stenosis and recommended surgery. Doctor Zhou, do you think surgery is necessary?"

The two of them looked at Zhou Qiao expectantly, thinking that this was a famous doctor who had returned from abroad and had helped rescue a car accident patient in the morning. Logically speaking, he should be very powerful, but looking so young... made people feel unsure. .

The old man muttered secretly, not sure if it would work. Otherwise, wait until the New Year is over and then go to a big city to see an expert. If you have to have surgery, go to a big city.

Heart surgery, firstly, costs a lot, and secondly, it is a major surgery. For a while, the old man and his family were really confused and couldn't make up their minds.

Zhou Qiao read the report, asked about the old man's daily feelings, smiled slightly and said, "Your condition can be treated conservatively."

"Ah?" The old man and his daughter were surprised and happy, but they couldn't believe it.

Zhou Qiao explained carefully: "Calcific aortic stenosis is a chronic progressive disease. Due to the lack of effective drug intervention, the vast majority of patients will indeed progress to severe lesions."

The patient's daughter asked: "Does my mother have severe or mild disease?"

Zhou Qiao said: "Severe."

"what?"

"Then we still need conservative treatment?" The old man and his daughter were both stunned.

Zhou Qiao smiled and said: "Severe patients are divided into two categories. One category is symptomatic, such as heart failure, syncope or angina. As long as one of these three symptoms occurs, the prognosis is extremely poor. If no surgery is performed, the patient will die every year. The rate can reach 25%, and up to 3% of patients will die suddenly within 6 to 3 months, and the average survival time is only 2 to 3 years. Therefore, the current heart valve disease guidelines treat patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis Aortic valve replacement is a Class I recommendation."

"However, there is another category of asymptomatic patients, just like you. A recent meta-analysis showed that the average annual all-cause mortality rate and the annual average cardiac mortality rate of asymptomatic severe patients during conservative treatment were 4.8% and 3.0%," he said. , the average annual mortality rate due to heart failure is 2.0%, and the average annual sudden death rate is 1.1%. In other words, compared with severe symptomatic patients, conservative treatment strategies are acceptable."

Zhou Qiao talked eloquently, using research data to speak for itself. This kind of data was the result of previous research by Zhou Qiao, Murphy and Stephanie. After hearing such a low mortality rate, the old man and his daughter felt at ease.

Immediately, Zhou Qiao helped them readjust their treatment plan and prescribed relevant drugs so that they would not have too much psychological burden. They could just take the drugs as directed by the doctor and have regular check-ups.

The mother and daughter left happily.

The next patient was also an old man in his sixties, but he was an uncle and came here accompanied by his wife.

"Doctor, can my wife's disease be treated conservatively?" The aunt handed over the uncle's previous examination report and asked hopefully.

Just now, they all heard it at the door. This doctor seems to be of high standard and likes conservative treatment?

Surgery is really bad, especially heart surgery. This person is a little scared as he is older.

"Let me check on your situation first." Zhou Qiao smiled and took the report to read.

Those who make appointments with famous doctors all have heart problems, not just one day or two, so there are previous examination reports. As long as the time is not too long, Zhou Qiao will not let the other party do the examination again.

Zhou Qiao looked at the report and said, "Uncle, your disease requires surgery as soon as possible. The sooner the better."

"Ah?" The uncle and his wife were stunned.

Zhou Qiao said: "Don't worry, your situation is different from that of the previous aunt. You have severe mitral regurgitation. If my prediction is correct, do you often feel tired and weak? Do you find it difficult to breathe even after taking a few steps, or do you feel chest tightness and shortness of breath even when you sit still?”

"Yes, yes, I came here today. Walking just a few steps in the hospital almost killed me." The uncle nodded and said.

"That's it. Your condition is due to the insufficiency of the heart valves, which has a great impact on the heart's ejection and cardiac function. Simple conservative treatment cannot solve this problem. I will draw you a schematic diagram and you will understand ”

Immediately, Zhou Qiao took a pen and paper and started to draw pictures and explain to the uncle and aunt at the same time. The pictures were simple and clear diagrams, and the words were as easy to understand as possible without using professional vocabulary.

Because this pair of uncle and aunt are different from the mother and daughter just now. The mother and daughter just now are from the city, especially the daughter, who seems to be quite educated and can understand.

The uncle and aunt were from rural areas, and as soon as they swiped their medical insurance cards, all their information came out. The uncle and aunt are simple and unpretentious, and their cultural level should not be high, so Zhou Qiao explains in a different way.

There is no intention of discrimination. Zhou Qiao is also from a rural area. Looking at this pair of uncles and aunts, they are like the elders in the village. The way of communication they use with certain people is a quality that a qualified doctor must have.

It is also a very important and noteworthy point in doctor-patient communication.

After some explanation, although the uncle and aunt only graduated from elementary school, they really understood it.

Seeing a doctor for the first time, after understanding such a complicated issue explained by the doctor, the old couple immediately looked at each other with surprise.

The uncle couldn't help but give a thumbs up and praised: "Young man, what you said is really good!"

Zhou Qiao smiled modestly and said: "If you are willing, you can have the surgery here. The equipment at the county hospital is also good. It is a minimally invasive surgery. You will be admitted today and arranged tomorrow morning. You can go home the same day after the surgery." "

"That's good." The uncle immediately agreed.

First, after the exchange just now, they felt that Zhou Qiao was very capable, and he came back from the United States, so his level should be good.

Secondly, they are not financially well-off and it costs a lot to go to the provincial capital. Moreover, I was unfamiliar with the place in the provincial capital and didn’t even have a place to live.

The old couple had a cheerful personality and agreed immediately.

Immediately, Zhou Qiao asked an assistant to take the uncle and aunt to go to the hospital for admission surgery, and related preoperative examinations were also arranged.

... Zhou Qiao treats patients very slowly. He has to chat with each patient for a long time.

The hospital is not big, and Zhou Qiao is the "hot spot" in the hospital recently. It is a hot topic of discussion and the news spreads like wildfire.

Many doctors joked privately, saying: "Experts coming back from the United States are just different."

"How many patients are there in the United States? It is said that people in the United States charge according to consultation time. Maybe Dr. Zhou has developed a habit there."

"Like ours, the experts who came here before could spend one minute if the condition was mild, and only three or five minutes if the condition was serious. After all, there are so many people queuing up, and Dr. Zhou has to wait and see when to go."

"that is!"

……

"Damn it, are there too many numbers assigned today? If I can't finish it after get off work, will my number be cancelled? Or will it continue to be effective tomorrow?"

"Hurry and ask the leader for instructions."

The staff member went to ask the leader.

The leader thought about it and reported it to the dean.

Dean Zheng came over and took a walk. Taking advantage of the break between seeing the doctor, he quietly asked Zhou Qiao: "Dr. Zhou, there are nearly fifty patients behind me. Can you make it in time today?"

Zhou Qiao smiled: "It's okay, I'll work overtime at night after watching."

By the way, he really didn't work overtime much in the United States before. Unexpectedly, when I returned to China for cooperation and exchange, I would have to work overtime on the first day.

"That's okay." Dean Zheng nodded, with great admiration and appreciation in his heart. I thought it was no wonder that Dr. Zhou had such a high standard at such a young age. You can imagine how diligent you are usually.

Dean Zheng even had scenes in his mind of Zhou Qiao often burning the midnight oil, honing his surgical skills, and carefully reading various large documents.

I thought that a genius like Zhou Qiao, with high talent and hard work, would have a bright future! No wonder Nobel laureates and members of the National Academy of Sciences are rushing to accept him as a disciple.

As everyone knows, Zhou Qiao is honing his skills and reading a bunch of books.

He is very diligent, but he is diligent when it comes to women. In terms of study, since graduation, I have hardly touched books.

Touch women more than books!

However, Zhou Qiao can be diligent.

He did work overtime today.

Well, the private room and banquet booked for the evening have been canceled again.

Plans are worse than changes.

The restaurant bosses were baffled when they found out. Why weren't the leaders of the County People's Hospital so generous? I came over for dinner and missed my appointment twice in a row. Could it be that something happened in the hospital recently? Is the supervision from above too strict?

Zhou Qiao works overtime, and the doctors who follow him naturally have to work overtime too.

However, no one complained. The main thing was that after following Zhou Qiao for an afternoon, I learned so much. Many times, I felt like I suddenly became enlightened or my eyes brightened.

Because they had not learned many of the things Zhou Qiao said before, but now they realized that they did not really understand them. In other words, their previous understanding was at a relatively superficial level.

Following Zhou Qiao this time, I had the feeling that "you will die if you hear the Tao in the morning", "penetrate the truth with a whip", and "get the essence deeply". Even the doctor who was just recruited last year has turned from his initial suspicion into Zhou Qiao's "little fangirl".

Although, she is older than Zhou Qiao.

But in academic matters, those who are successful come first, and Zhou Qiao is a handsome guy, so it is acceptable for her to stay humble and play small.

The little beauty Yang Xuejun fell into a coma for a day. She originally planned to go out with Zhou Qiao in the evening. However, Zhou Qiao said that she was busy and had to work overtime.

Yang Xuejun went to buy milk tea and came to visit the class. Naturally, I feel sorry for Zhou Qiao in my heart.

You worked hard all night last night and are busy from morning to night today. Isn't it going to break down your body?

Well, when you go back at night, don't let him work. Let him rest more.

Originally, she planned to fight again tonight, but the plan did not change. If you don’t feel sorry for your own man, who will?

Zhou Qiao spent more than ten minutes on dinner, and the assistant brought a lunch box from the cafeteria, and then he continued to see the doctor until after 11 o'clock in the evening, when he saw the last patient.

Even the patients and their families admire Zhou Qiao very much without any complaints.

As for the other doctors in the hospital, they all admired him very much.

However, there are also people who are dissatisfied and feel that Zhou Qiao is too busy. They think that you are a foreign aid and cooperation and exchange person who came back from the United States. Why are you working so hard?

If you work so hard, what will we do in the future?

Oh, refuse to work overtime? The dean didn't scold us and said, "Look at Dr. Zhou. No matter how great you are, can you be on par with Dr. Zhou?"

Then, the next day, something magical happened in the hospital!

About Zhou Qiao.

It's not about working overtime, it's another very sensational fact.

"Let me go, yesterday we were still laughing at Dr. Zhou for his slow treatment of patients. He spent a lot of time explaining and communicating with each patient, but his performance is really strong!"

"What kind of force?"

"Didn't you hear? Dr. Zhou worked all afternoon and all night yesterday, and didn't get off work until after 11 o'clock in the evening. He saw a total of 82 patients."

"NB! Volume King!"

"That's not the most important thing!"

"What's most important?"

"The most important thing is that of the eighty-two patients that Dr. Zhou saw, thirty-nine met the conditions for surgery. Moreover, thirty-eight of these thirty-nine patients were willing to undergo surgery under Dr. Zhou's care. Dr. Zhou has scheduled the surgery here for today, and it will start on time at eight o'clock in the morning."

"I'll go!" The doctors were shocked.

The news spread throughout the Zhuhai County People's Hospital, as if it had wings, and reached almost everyone's ears.

Through group messages, friend circles, private chats... various channels.

Then, word spread outside the circle, and all the relatives and friends nearby were blocked.

What shocked everyone was the astonishing number of surgeries performed by Zhou Qiao.

Thirty-nine, thirty-eight were willing to operate here.

You know, Zhuhai County People's Hospital is a small hospital, only ranked second in class. Last year, it wanted to reach third class, but failed.

There is no way, the siphon phenomenon in big cities is too obvious. Although the treatment provided here is not bad, the talents just don't want to come. What can be done?

Even though some new PhDs have been recruited, they have just graduated and have not yet grown to the point where they can take charge of their own business.

That's why Dean Zheng strongly invited Zhou Qiao to come over for cooperation and exchange, hoping to improve the level of doctors in the hospital.

How many people are willing to undergo heart surgery at this second-class county people's hospital in a year? That’s thirty-eight!

Who else dares to laugh at Dr. Zhou's slow treatment?

He is slow to treat patients, but he is patient, friendly, and professional. He convinced the patient that he is willing to do the surgery here and at the County People's Hospital. This is his ultimate true skill!

Before the surgery, win one game first.

If you change to another expert, you can try to send a patient away in a few minutes or even tens of seconds. Will he be willing to operate at your place? Are you a big hospital?

Only then did they realize that they had wrongly blamed Dr. Zhou!

Although Dr. Zhou spent a long time and worked overtime, he was able to obtain so many surgeries for Zhuhai County People's Hospital. And, I got it in one day.

What kind of perverted ability is this?

The medical staff were filled with admiration.

　Is there a monthly pass? If you have some, please give me a few, thank you!
