I run a clinic in the United States

Chapter 350 Peaceful years

Zhou Qiao formulated a detailed treatment plan for the patient, including oral hormones, low-dose chemotherapy drugs, etc.

Chemotherapy is sometimes necessary, but it is not as scary as the legend says. Moreover, Zhou Qiao used low-dose chemotherapy, that is, local chemotherapy, which can control the progression of the disease as much as possible and reduce the adverse reactions of chemotherapy.

Of course, it's medicine that's three parts poison, but when the disease comes to your door, there's nothing you can do about it.

Dr. Zhou's medication is top-notch. Even Chiba Nanako can only look up.

So, Lao Tan was treated here for a few days and felt like he was reborn!

When Lao Tan's wife learned about her husband's true condition, she was extremely frightened. After all, he had even used low-dose chemotherapy drugs.

Just hearing the name "chemotherapy" makes me tremble with fear.

Actually, that's not the case.

Lao Tan's wife deeply blamed herself. She had wrongly blamed Lao Tan before and thought he was pretending to be ill and did not want to do housework. It turns out he is really sick.

Thanks to Dr. Zhou, he is very young and has excellent skills!

"By the way, Doctor Zhou, do you have a girlfriend? I have a niece who is very beautiful, has a bright blue heart, can do everything, and is very capable..." Lao Tan's wife said quickly while Zhou Qiao came to check the ward.

The little nurse next to me kept rolling her eyes.

I hummed softly in my heart: "Huh, even if I want to introduce a girlfriend to Dr. Zhou, it won't be your niece's turn. There are so many beautiful little nurses in our hospital waiting in line!"

Zhou Qiao had no choice but to decline with a smile: "I already have a girlfriend."

He said to himself that it was better not to harm the girls in the country. When it came to having fun, foreign girls were allowed to let loose.

Even the coldest Murphy can accept all kinds of flower work.

As for Yang Xuejun, an old classmate, he is a medical seed, and he is a Chinese medicine seed who has made his debut halfway, which is really an exception.

The little nurses are very sorry that no girl has been able to succeed so far.

When joking in private, many young nurses complained, saying that Dr. Zhou was really a stupid, straight man, and he didn't know how to eat a piece when there were so many delicious snacks around him. I don’t want you to be responsible.

"Dr. Zhou, are you free this afternoon?" Dean Zheng came over in person and asked.

"Yes." Zhou Qiao smiled.

Dean Zheng asked, "How about giving some guidance on the work of our hybrid operating room?"

"No problem." Zhou Qiao made a gesture.

"After guiding the work, we will have dinner together in the evening." Dean Zheng warmly invited.

Recently, Dean Zheng has been inviting a lot of guests.

Although Zhuhai County People's Hospital spent huge sums of money to build a hybrid operating room, also known as a hybrid operating room, it has not been running smoothly.

It happened that Zhou Qiao, a top-notch doctor, was here. During a consultation, Zhou Qiao casually mentioned that he had performed many surgeries in the hybrid operating room of the University of California. The speaker did not mean it, but the listener immediately became interested.

So, Dean Zheng came over personally to invite Zhou Qiao to guide the work.

The hybrid operating room simplifies the complex. To put it simply, it is the same operating room that can simultaneously meet the needs of multiple disciplines of surgery, such as vascular, neurological, tumor, obstetrics and gynecology, urology and other composite surgeries.

Compared with traditional operating rooms, hybrid operating rooms not only reduce patients' surgical risks and treatment costs, but also enhance doctors' confidence, allowing doctors to continuously pursue "perfect" surgeries and achieve the effect of 1+1>2.

It turns out that after one operation, you have to move your position and continue with the second one, but in the hybrid operating room, you can get it done with one-stop service!

For example, originally intervention could only be done in the DSA cath lab, and open surgery could only be done in the operating room. However, in many cases, both methods need to go hand in hand to perform vascular surgery. The hybrid operating room was built for this purpose.

For another example, after intracranial nerve surgery, you may need to take a CT scan, or you may need imaging support during the surgery. It is obviously inconvenient and risky to go to the radiology department to take a CT scan after the surgery is halfway done. A hybrid operating room that combines surgery and imaging This worry can be resolved.

There are many, many other applications.

However, the doctors at Zhuhai County People's Hospital lack knowledge and experience, so many areas are not "standardized" enough and the efficiency has not reached ideal expectations.

This kind of operating room is a product of the combination of modern medical technology and engineering technology, and is also an important indicator of a hospital's comprehensive strength. If this operating room can be "good" and produce some results, then the County People's Hospital will have a much better chance of winning the third-tier hospital.

When Zhou Qiao went to give guidance in the afternoon, he was packed with people.

Even Dean Zheng came here in person, how could other middle-level and senior management members and key personnel be absent?

Moreover, the opportunity is truly rare.

There is also competition among doctors.

If at this time, your colleagues have learned it but you have not, wouldn’t it mean that you are falling behind?

Volume, everywhere.

……

Iris Clinic, San Francisco.

During Zhou Qiao's absence, life was very dull. However, with the joint efforts of Elena, Ava, Murphy, Stephanie, Chiba Nanako and other members, everything in the clinic was in order.

Although the girls miss Zhou Qiao, they can endure the loneliness. They go to work and get off work every day, and the years are quiet.

After experiencing Zhou Qiao, they could no longer look down on other men. He was completely immersed in Dr. Zhou's masculine charm.

And with the laundry next door guarding it, no one ever dares to come and cause trouble, not even homeless people, who dare not come within 300 meters.

The surrounding residents feel safe when they come to Iris Clinic for medical treatment.

In Stephanie's clinic, Stephanie had just woken up from her nap, with a slight smile on her lips and a look of spring on her face, because she had just dreamed of being like Zhou Qiao again.

However, without Zhou Qiao's leadership in dream diagnosis and treatment, this time it was just an ordinary dream, with many parts unrealistic and very bizarre.

She was studying Chinese recently and read an ancient Chinese love story about Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.

In the dream, she is Liang Shanbo and Zhou Qiao is Zhu Yingtai. Classmates love and know each other.

Yes, she is a man, and Zhou Qiao is a woman disguised as a man.

Then there was a man, who turned out to be Murphy. He wants to compete with her for Zhou Qiao, a great beauty.

In the end, the short girl defeated the tall and thin Murphy and successfully hugged Beauty Qiao back.

Dreams are inherently absurd. Like the dream diagnosis and treatment that Zhou Qiao led before, it is abnormal for people to be unable to distinguish illusion from reality.

The knock on the door brought Stephanie back to reality from the afterglow of her dream. She quickly adjusted her light wavy golden curls and sat upright: "Please come in!"

Jin Jijin came in with a lady in her thirties.

"Dr. Stephanie, long time no see." The lady greeted Stephanie.

"Ah, dear Hyleas, please take a seat." Stephanie remembered that she had made an appointment with her the day before yesterday, saying that she had a slight oral problem and wanted to come over for consultation.

Hyleas's previous health check-ups were all conducted at the Iris Clinic. Some time ago, he came to Stephanie for psychological consultation due to work pressure and insomnia due to a broken relationship.

However, Stephanie is also very proficient in other aspects and can be regarded as a general practitioner.

Hyleas knew Stephanie's level, so even if he had a minor oral problem, he still wanted to see a familiar family doctor.

"Dr. Stephanie, I mentioned on the phone before that I seem to have an oral ulcer under my tongue. It has not healed for almost two months. I have also used sprays and other drugs before, but it didn't work."

"Open your mouth and let me take a look!" Stephanie asked the other person to sit closer, then put on gloves, took a tongue depressor, and checked the other person.

"Do you usually have severe pain?" Stephanie asked while checking. "No. It's just that it's very uncomfortable when you eat some spicy food or drinks." Hileas said.

"Wait a minute, open your mouth wider." Stephanie continued to check the other person, because Hyleas was slightly interrupted when he spoke just now.

"Ah~" Hyleas cooperated very well and opened his mouth wide.

Stephanie used the tongue depressor to touch the area where Hyleas had an oral ulcer, and found that it was hard. Then she pressed it lightly, and immediately the other person started to bleed.

"Try moving your tongue," Stephanie said.

Hyleas then turned her tongue, but her tongue turned awkwardly and was restricted in many directions.

In addition, the tip of the other person's tongue is slightly tilted toward the side with the ulcer.

Stephanie's face suddenly looked a little ugly.

"What's wrong, Doctor Stephanie, is it serious?" Hileas had a premonition that something was not good, so he couldn't help but shrugged and asked pretending to be relaxed. She hoped that her hunch was wrong.

Unfortunately, sometimes, a woman's intuition is very accurate, especially when she saw Stephanie's face becoming a little serious after she checked it for her.

Stephanie took a gentle breath and said, "I'll arrange a biopsy for you first and look at the report."

"Doctor Stephanie, can you tell me what's going on first? I want to be mentally prepared." Hyleas said very eagerly.

What disease requires a biopsy?

She knew that biopsy meant taking living cells for pathological examination.

Generally, anything that requires a biopsy is not a good thing!

Stephanie thought for a while and then said: "I suspect that you may have oral cancer, but you need to report the diagnosis."

"Ah~" Hileas almost fainted.

Simply unacceptable.

"No, dear Doctor Stephanie, you are kidding me, right?" Hyleas burst into tears instantly.

Stephanie quickly comforted her and said: "Even if it is oral cancer, if it is discovered early and the surgery is timely, we will help you. Recovery after surgery will not be a problem. Now we need to confirm the diagnosis first, and then complete relevant examinations. Our clinic You also know my strength, and you will definitely try your best!"

However, after hearing such horrific news suddenly, Hyleas still couldn't hold back his tears even though Stephanie kept comforting him.

In the end, Hyleas cheered up and went for a check-up with Stephanie's encouragement.

When the report came out, sure enough, it was tongue squamous cell carcinoma!

Hyleas almost collapsed.

The second time she came, her parents came with her and completed many other examinations, such as MRI.

"Doctor Stephanie, I haven't gotten married yet, I haven't had a good relationship yet, I haven't been to many places..." Hyleas said while wiping away tears.

"You should be admitted to the hospital with peace of mind. I will consult with several colleagues from the clinic to discuss the follow-up surgery and treatment plan." Stephanie reassured, and then asked Park Xiuzhu to take her to the community hospital to arrange a ward.

Then, Stephanie invited Murphy, Nanako Chiba, Elena and Ava.

Although she and Murphy were at odds and were competing for Zhou Qiao in the dream, when faced with difficult problems in reality, especially this kind of cancer surgery, Stephanie still preferred Murphy.

Because Murphy's skills and attainments in this area are higher than hers.

As for Chiba Nanako, Chiba Nanako’s support is needed for pre- and postoperative medication.

While Zhou Qiao is away, Elena and Ava are equivalent to half of the bosses, and they need management and financial support. In addition, the two of them are also required to cooperate with the surgery, including instruments and rounds.

Iris and Five Beauties gathered together in the conference room to discuss the patient's condition and formulate a detailed treatment plan.

When everything was ready, Murphy was the surgeon, Stephanie was the assistant, and the other three beauties also participated. Hyleas underwent simultaneous extended tumor resection in the oral cavity and forearm surgery areas, as well as preventive cervical lymph node removal. Dissection and preparation of free flaps for anastomosis.

It took a full three hours and the operation was successfully completed.

Murphy and Stephanie work together to fight against this kind of oral cancer that is discovered relatively early, which is naturally more than enough.

It must be said that Hileas is lucky.

Because Stephanie helped her make a correct diagnosis in time, and the diagnosis was timely, and there was no large-scale metastasis.

Tongue cancer has a metastasis rate of 40%, which is considered to be the highest among oral cancers. However, because the surgery was performed in time and a top doctor performed the surgery on her, the prognosis is very good.

Clinically, there are many patients like Hyleas, because most oral ulcers will recover on their own in 7-10 days. Many patients like Hyleas feel that they are so busy because of various busy schedules or lack of correct understanding of the disease. I just accidentally bit it and it was just a mouth ulcer. I just bought some medicine and sprayed it on myself, and then I kept putting off going to the doctor.

Or, even if you find a doctor, but the doctor is not qualified enough, you just treat it as an ordinary oral ulcer with some medicine. In the end, it turns into tongue cancer, and you really regret it.

Usually, the shapes of cancerous ulcers are weird and different. Some exophytic ones look like broccoli, ulcerative ones look like volcanoes, and some show large areas of erosion, and most of them bleed easily when touched. It is accompanied by mild to severe pain, and severe cases may even cause restriction of tongue movement, numbness of the tongue, and even loss of taste.

These situations must attract sufficient attention.

Oral cancer is a broad term that includes cancers in the oral cavity such as gum cancer, tongue cancer, hard and soft palate cancer, jaw cancer, floor of the mouth cancer, oropharyngeal cancer, salivary gland cancer, and lip cancer.

Compared with cancers in other parts of the world, oral cancer has a greater impact on the appearance of the face because surgery is performed on the face. Moreover, many people will have slurred pronunciation after surgery. And because the mouth is the only way to eat, it is difficult to get oral cancer. Greatly affects chewing and swallowing of food.

After Hyleas' surgery, Chiba Nanako was responsible for administering medicine, ensuring her oral hygiene and promoting wound healing. Under the careful care of the Iris team, Hyleas’ post-operative recovery was successful.

It is worth mentioning that she had undergone oral surgery and naturally could not eat normally. Iris Clinic arranged for her to eat through a gastric tube for about 5 to 7 days.

When the skin flap has grown well and gradually mucosalized, eating can begin.

The quality of Iris Clinic is extremely high. After Hyleas recovered, his pronunciation was not affected at all and the beauty of his face was not a problem. I have to say that the quality of the surgery is excellent.

Even the University of California Medical Center may not be able to do a better job.

"From now on, just come here for regular check-ups. In the beginning, it will be once every three months, and then the frequency will be reduced depending on the situation." On the day he was discharged from the hospital, Stephanie came over to congratulate Hyleas.

"Thank you, thank you." Hileas felt like he had a nightmare, and now he finally woke up from the dream.

Finally, I can return to normal life.

Stephanie also told this story when she called Zhou Qiao.

Zhou Qiao felt very relieved that the girls could still live in peace and cooperate together after he left.

"Qiao, come back quickly, we all miss you and need you very much!"

When Stephanie confided in Zhou Qiao and told him that in the dream, he was a woman and Stephanie was a man, Zhou Qiao said: "..."

Stephanie giggled and her branches trembled.

"I think your skin is itchy. Wait until I get back to teach you a lesson!" Zhou Qiao said "viciously".

"Then come back and see who teaches whom!" Stephanie refused to be outdone.

Stephanie thought that when Zhou Qiao came back, she would take the lead.

After all, there are so many girls, and the further you get to the back, the more you suffer.
