I run a clinic in the United States

Chapter 340: Where the fireworks are in the world, when the flavor of the new year is getting stronger

This patient's condition is indeed serious. To be honest, Zhou Qiao has never seen such a severe pressure ulcer before.

However, it was nothing compared to Veronica who had burns all over her body.

After completing the preoperative preparation and contraindication investigation, Zhou Qiao performed a left back pressure ulcer resection on the patient, fully expanded the wound to stop the bleeding, and applied negative pressure suction, which solved the simplest bleeding problem.

This is just a very minor surgery, not worth mentioning.

Subsequently, based on the patient's condition, Zhou Qiao formulated a comprehensive treatment plan such as infection control, nutritional support, and postural management.

Postural management includes physical therapy such as prone position training and massage, mainly to reduce the patient's muscle tension and relieve the spasm and curling up of the whole body.

Nutritional support is because the patient is too thin and too weak. Nutrition needs to be strengthened to meet the surgical conditions.

Needless to say, infection control is a top priority. At the same time, it is also preparation to meet the conditions for surgery.

It would be too risky to undergo major surgery right now, and Zhou Qiao was afraid that the patient would not be able to bear it.

"Transfer him to the general surgery ward." Zhou Qiao suggested.

Director Wang was in a dilemma: "I won't accept the general surgery, saying it can't be cured."

"It's okay. Just tell me what I said. I will be responsible for this patient." Zhou Qiao thought for a while and then said, "Surgery alone is not enough. We need the cooperation of dermatology, orthopedics, anesthesiology, etc. We will wait for the patient's systemic infection control After hemoglobin, albumin, liver and kidney function and other nutritional indicators improve, I will perform the second stage of repair surgery on him."

Because pressure ulcer treatment is not just about the wound, it is just the external manifestation. It is difficult to eradicate without comprehensive treatment from the inside out.

Zhou Qiao spoke. Although he was not the leader here, he was still the leader. When the director of the General Surgery Department heard about it, he immediately agreed and came to make rounds in person. He even specially called a few key doctors to learn from Dr. Zhou.

Zhou Qiao explained the treatment plan and gave some key points and precautions.

"In the next few days, we will proceed according to this plan. If anything happens, please contact me in time. I will withdraw first." Zhou Qiao looked at the sky outside and said.

I originally came at noon, but as time passed, it was already dark outside.

"Don't worry, Dr. Zhou."

"Doctor Zhou, walk slowly."

When Zhou Qiao returned home, it was already seven o'clock in the evening. His old mother felt sorry for him and immediately cooked him some love noodles. It contains abalone, sea cucumber, shrimp, tripe, bamboo shoots, green vegetables, and black fungus.

A big bowl full, with more vegetables than noodles, fragrant and steaming hot.

"The noodles cooked by my mother are still delicious." Zhou Qiao praised, and immediately started to eat. The large bowl of noodles was quickly wiped out, not even the soup was left.

My mother came over to clean up the dishes and said with a smile: "It would be great if you were in China, or you could work in the County People's Hospital. With so much money, it would be pretty good."

As people get older, they always hope that their sons can stay with them.

Although the family is not short of money now, the big house is too deserted for the elderly couple to live in.

Zhou Qiao laughed: "You can make more money in the United States than you can imagine."

Seeing that his mother didn't believe her, Zhou Qiao didn't explain. He had never revealed his current family background to his parents for fear of scaring them. After all, it’s only been a few years and you’ve saved so much money? Are you afraid that you are not doing something illegal?

"Furthermore, I came back this time because I am an expert in foreign aid. I can earn more through cooperation and exchanges. If I really worked here, I wouldn't have such a high salary." Zhou Qiao said.

"That's true." Mom sighed with regret. She had heard about the salary level of the County People's Hospital in the past few days, but it was really not comparable to her son's. Far from it.

Even if you go to a provincial hospital, there probably won’t be that many.

1.2 million a week, which doctor in China earns so much?

Zhou Qiao’s mother lamented that she didn’t know when she would be able to have her children and grandchildren around her knees and enjoy the happiness of a family.

While sighing, he was busy worshiping his ancestors and giving them a sumptuous dinner.

After getting ready, Zhou Qiao also came to pay his respects and burned some ingots that his mother had folded in advance. The old father also came to help.

The twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month is also called Little New Year's Eve. The New Year's ballad says, "On the twenty-nineth day of the twelfth lunar month, go to the graves and ask your ancestors to make offerings."

Since the Spring Festival is a major festival, the ceremony of visiting the graves to invite ancestors is particularly solemn and important.

At this time, different places have different customs. In some places, ancestors will be invited from the afternoon to dusk on New Year's Eve, or before the New Year's Eve dinner, the New Year's Eve dinner will be served, wine poured, and the ancestors will be invited to eat first.

After the ancestors have enjoyed it, the family eats it again.

However, Zhou Qiao's family usually prepares a special meal for the ancestors on the 29th, according to the taste of the ancestors during their lifetime.

Zhou Qiao's mother was busy preparing for ancestor worship today. After waiting for Zhou Qiao to return, the family began to burn paper and make offerings.

"Don't blame me, ancestors. Don't blame me, ancestors, because Qiaoer went to treat a disease and save people today, so she was delayed." Zhou Qiao's mother explained while bowing.

Zhou Qiao also felt quite guilty. He had done this, worked overtime, and made his ancestors hungry. It couldn't be justified.

However, Zhou Qiao's mother continued to nag her, saying that Zhou Qiao, a junior, must personally submit the confession in order to be sincere and show filial piety.

At the same time, it is inevitable to tell the ancestors about Zhou Qiao's achievements in these days, how many banners he collected, and how promising he was.

Zhou Qiao: "..."

……

The sound of firecrackers marks the end of the year, and peace returns to the whole world.

New Year's Eve has finally arrived.

Zhou Qiao indulged a little bit that day and didn't get up until about three o'clock in the morning. I haven't slept in for a long time. I enjoy it once in a while and feel refreshed.

After getting up, I ate something in a hurry, helped my old father hang up lanterns, put up Spring Festival couplets, cleaned, and then helped my old mother prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.

It is worth mentioning that Zhuhai County’s “double ban” policy on the sale and release of fireworks and firecrackers that has been in effect for many years has been relaxed. This year, except for certain areas in the city, fireworks can be set off anywhere else.

Zhou Qiao's family is in a rural area and is not within that area, so it's easy to let go.

No more trudging to the next door to set off fireworks.

And in previous years, they went to the neighboring province to set off fireworks, which were purely for entertainment.

The New Year's Eve dinner "Guan Cai Men" and the "Good Start" on the morning of New Year's Day, these two very ceremonial moments, are still not allowed in my own home.

This year is different.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the sound of firecrackers continued.

Where the fireworks are in the world, the flavor of the new year is getting stronger.

Zhou Qiao's family will be a little later, and the New Year's Eve dinner will not be ready until almost five o'clock in the afternoon.

Firstly, their family is not used to eating so early. Secondly, this year's New Year's Eve dinner has too many ingredients and takes too much time to process, so it was delayed.

After firing off the cannon, close the door and turn on the show.

There is a certain etiquette in setting off firecrackers before the New Year's Eve dinner and then closing the door. This is called "no money flowing out" and "closing the financial gate", which corresponds to the "opening the financial gate" on the morning of New Year's Day.

At both times, the cannon must be fired. The more lively the better.

Zhuhai County has not had this ceremony for seven or eight years. Now, listening to the sound of these firecrackers, urbanites can only envy the countryside. King crab, Australian dragon, hairy crab, abalone stewed with pig's feet, Buddha jumping over the wall, braised steak, steamed mandarin fish, charcoal grilled lamb leg, duck soup with dried bamboo shoots, stewed local chicken with lotus seeds and lily, flower blossoms and wealth, Ruyi Baicai Bao, Fulu Happy birthday, full of good fortune, good fortune, good flowers and full moon, full sixteen dishes.

Except for the Fu Lu Shou Xi (Four Happiness Meatballs), which are meat dishes, the rest are mainly based on various vegetables.

For example, the main ingredients of Huakai Fugui include cauliflower, asparagus, potatoes, carrots, cashews, and petal-shaped egg skins.

I can’t finish it. I can’t finish it at all. There are only three of us. How can we finish it?

Zhou Qiao's mother glanced at Zhou Qiao, pointed at the feast on the table, and said, "What do you think after seeing these dishes?"

Zhimu Mo Ruozi, how could Zhou Qiao not know what his mother was thinking, and immediately laughed: "When I bring back seventeen or eight grandchildren, these few dishes will not be enough to fill their teeth!"

"Pfft~" Mom immediately laughed, "If you really can have seventeen or eight children, you don't have to worry about the New Year's Eve dinner. I've been busy since the early morning, so there's no need to worry!"

"That's what you said. Don't complain that you can't bear it when the time comes."

"Just brag."

"Son, when have I ever boasted?" Zhou Qiao originally wanted to say that four were about to be born, but after a second thought, he still didn't dare to say it. The marriage is not even completed yet, but a son is born. Can these parents handle it?

After all, their thinking is still relatively traditional.

Forget it, let’s find a suitable opportunity to speak again.

Zhou Qiao's father was a little dizzy while drinking Feitian Moutai with a temperature of 53 degrees.

My old father loves to drink liquor. Zhou Qiao came back this time and bought eight boxes of Feitian Moutai for his family, as well as many other liquors, such as Jiannanchun, Wuliangye, Luzhou Laojiao, Tianzhilan, Fenjiu, Xifeng Liquor...all There are boxes upon boxes of them, placed in a special and relatively safe room, which is probably enough for the old father to drink for a year.

He is not at home all year round, so this is the only way to show his filial piety. Of course, there are also many gifts from the old mother. Various tonics, cosmetics brought back from abroad, gold and silver jewelry, clothes... a dazzling array.

Zhou Qiao also had a drink with his parents.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, my cousin Jiang Yunyun sent a message saying that she would come over later to set off fireworks. Because Jiang Yunyun lives in the city, the ban has not been lifted yet.

Zhou Qiao said: "Come here quickly, there are enough fireworks tubes!" He has stocked up on a lot of fireworks this year.

Jiang Yunyun immediately went downstairs excitedly and drove over quickly in her car.

Zhou Qiao thought for a while and sent a message to Yang Xuejun, asking her to come and play together.

Anyway, it doesn’t take long to drive to the same county.

Yang Xuejun has been to Zhou Qiao's house before, and the old mother still likes her very much.

In fact, as long as the old mother sees a beautiful girl, she likes her and wants to get her back as her daughter-in-law.

The old father was standing nearby and struck her: "Anyone you like must not be a real daughter-in-law."

Old mother: "That's not necessarily true, what age is it? Besides, a virtuous mother-in-law like me will not be able to handle the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law badly."

The old mother has always believed that finding someone unpleasant to come back would really add to the trouble. A truly good daughter-in-law is only one that both her son and she likes.

So Yang Xuejun also drove over.

Jiang Yunyun arrived first, and when she arrived, she brought some fireworks.

When Yang Xuejun arrived, Jiang Yunyun's eyes lit up, she glanced at Zhou Qiao and said to herself that her cousin is really awesome!

Last year I took two girls, and this year I took another girl. They are all stunning in the world.

I heard that there are many girls in the United States. When the short video went viral, many people were talking about it. In addition to the big boss, the short video is so popular because there are so many beauties featured in Iris Clinic, and the quality is top-notch.

This is really different from year to year!

Zhou Qiao understood what she meant and immediately waved his hand modestly to signal her not to make blind guesses. You will never guess my brother’s NB!

The two girls cheered endlessly as the dazzling fireworks were like peacocks in full bloom.

Zhou Qiao also had a great time.

Who doesn’t have a childish heart?

Besides, fireworks are not specially prepared for children.

Looking back on last year, I still worked so hard to drive so far and went to the next door to save fireworks, and the GDP was all contributed to others.

Even though the fireworks are so gorgeous, all they burn is money. In just half an hour, thousands of them were gone. Zhou Qiao's tens of thousands of yuan worth of fireworks is probably only enough for two or three days.

Don't dare to stock up too much for fear of catching fire. Anyway, it is very convenient to buy now.

Are fireworks being set off now to promote consumption?

"Brother, the last time we set off firecrackers at home, I was still in junior high school!" Jiang Yunyun said excitedly as her face turned red as the fireworks illuminated her face.

Although this is not her home, her cousin's home is the same as her own home.

There is a feeling of being in another world.

It seems that a new era has arrived!

The three of them played hard and consumed almost half of the inventory. After playing enough and tired, everyone went inside to rest.

Zhou Qiao’s mother brought out various snacks, candies, nuts, drinks... to entertain everyone.

"I'll show you a kung fu tea show, a new way to make tea." Jiang Yunyun winked and said playfully.

Of course it is good for someone to make tea. Zhou Qiao liked it and raised his hands in approval.

Zhou Qiao's family had all kinds of tea leaves and tea sets, so Jiang Yunyun picked a pack of Dahongpao, took a set of tea sets, and boiled water without performing any show, instead letting the water cool down first.

Seeing everyone looking at her, Jiang Yunyun said seriously: "It is better to use 85-90 degree water for Dahongpao. The water temperature is too high and the color of the soup will not look good!"

The water temperature for making tea is naturally particular, and different tea leaves are suitable for different water temperatures.

For example, for high-end green tea, especially various famous teas with delicate buds and leaves, 70-80 degrees is enough.

The tenderer and greener the tea leaves, the lower the brewing water temperature, so that the tea soup brewed will be green and bright, with a fresh taste, and the vitamin C in the tea leaves will be less destroyed.

At high temperatures, tea soup tends to turn yellow and taste bitter, because the caffeine in the tea is easily leached and vitamin C is destroyed in large quantities. As we usually say, the water temperature is high and the tea leaves are "cooked".

Seeing that Jiang Yunyun had studied water temperature, everyone was even more excited.

After all, everyone usually drinks tea, mostly home-produced white tea, which can be brewed and drank at will.

Jiang Yunyun started to perform, scraping foam, rubbing tea, shaking incense, entering the sea, dancing with butterflies, showing tea, dropping the saucer, returning to unity...

There are so many complicated movements, and the work is done in less than thirty seconds! It's as good as Zhou Qiao's surgery.

Zhou Qiao’s mother: “…”

Yang Xuejun: "..."

Zhou Qiao: "..."

All the movements are correct, but it feels like something is wrong.
