I run a clinic in the United States

Chapter 359 The King of Innovation

Chiba Nanako naturally found an excuse to decline. After all, Zhou Jun was still in bed, covering her up tightly, for fear that her sister would break in and see her.

If my sister insists on getting in, it will be... a social death scene.

Fortunately, Qianye Liuyin listened to her sister's words and went back gloomily. But soon, Qianye Liuyin heard something strange coming from her sister's room, so she knocked on the door again.

Chiba Nanako: "..."

……

When Zhou Qiao came back, Zhang Mengjing's orientation team building was completed.

Iris Clinic once again mobilized its entire team and selected a high-end restaurant, and almost everyone brought their family members.

Rachel brought her granddaughter, Park Soo-joo brought Yoona, Zhang Mengjing brought her mother, Murphy brought her mother, Stephanie brought her mother, Chiba Nanako brought her sister Chiba Ryukin, Ali I brought my little cousin with me.

Only the twin girls are missing.

Zhou Qiao couldn't help but feel sad every time he thought about it.

Zhang Mengjing's mother was very happy because she felt that Iris Clinic valued her daughter very much. After joining the company, it even held such a grand welcome dinner for her daughter, which was really expensive.

As everyone knows, whenever new people come, Zhou Qiao will take this opportunity to reward everyone.

Yoona used to be very lively and very close to Zhou Qiao. For example, she would take the initiative to hold Zhou Qiao's arm, stick very close to her, and watch Zhou Qiao shout "Oppa Oppa". But now she has become shy and will deliberately Keep your distance from Zhou Qiao.

"Oppa and his friends are so high. They are said to be the top in North America. I have to be better and work harder." Park Yoona used to be a little resentful and reluctant to her mother's strict requirements, but now, After having a goal, I will take the initiative to ask for study and participate in some cram schools.

When people who don't know ask for contact information, she will just show her children's phone watch, which scares them.

Because that night, I spent nearly 20,000 US dollars just on food and drinks.

Xu Tiantian, Fang Yuanyuan, Chu Xuan, Ling Qingqing and several other classmates are now following Talia and others to Los Angeles for development. Otherwise, Zhou Qiao plans to call them over for this dinner party.

It can be said that they have been to all the high-end restaurants in San Francisco.

It can be regarded as a benefit of the clinic.

Park Yoona and Chiba Ryukin often attend lavish gatherings like the Iris Clinic. If any male classmates want to treat them to dinner in the future, the two of them are a little unmoved because compared with Zhou Qiao, the male classmates are too stingy. searched.

Despite her young age, Yoona is still a primary school student, but she is taller than those two and looks slim.

Showing a child's phone watch is just one way of saying no.

In San Francisco, there is no restaurant that Zhou Qiao cannot afford. He plans to do another big one at the end of the year, with a budget of at least 100,000 US dollars.

She was no longer the same age as Zhou Qiao, but she glanced at Zhou Qiao from time to time, her eyes containing a girl's first love that she had never seen before.

Seeing that Zhang Mengjing successfully joined the Iris Clinic, Yoona thought to herself, when I grow up, I will also study medicine. I will not be a nurse. I will study medicine at a prestigious university like Aunt Murphy and Aunt Stephanie. Hospital, well, at least I will graduate with a doctorate, and then I will join the clinic and pester Oppa to report on my work every day.

Of course, Park Soo-joo is more strict, and Yoona is also more self-disciplined and never gives her contact information to anyone. Still underage.

Many cram schools in China, South Korea, and Japan have opened in the North American market, and there are many advertisements for cram schools on the streets.

Zhang Mengjing, on the other hand, can play together with Yoona, Qianye Liuyin and others.

A rich girl will not be deceived so easily.

"Come on, Park Yoona, Harvard Medical School is waiting for you!" Park Yoona has not even graduated from elementary school, but has already chosen her target university and major.

It is worth mentioning that Stephanie's mother is basically back to normal now. She is older and talks more with Rachel and others.

Zhou Qiao was thinking about going to Los Angeles sometime to see baby Talia. She was still more than twenty times away from reaching 100, so she had to work harder.

In fact, Talia missed Zhou Qiao very much. If she hadn't just become a boss and was busy at work, she would have wanted to fly to San Francisco to have a good get-together with Zhou Qiao.

After experiencing the welcome dinner, Zhang Mengjing finally integrated into the Iris Clinic and worked more energetically. She lives with her parents and rides a bicycle to and from get off work every day. On rainy days, she walks.

Anyway, Chinatown is not that far from the clinic, only a twenty-minute walk at most.

The clinic closes at 5 p.m., and many people go to the beach to watch the sunset in the evening, so there is no need to worry about safety issues. Compared with a few years ago, San Francisco is like a completely different world.

Whenever the citizens of San Francisco lament that the public security is now good, they can't help but think of the magical queen back then.

He single-handedly eliminated Xiao Xiao.

Unfortunately, they have returned to Texas.

Loya is still quite popular in San Francisco. If there is a general election in the future, even though she is a Republican, there may not be anyone here in California to vote for her.

In fact, California used to be a major vote base for the Republican Party. Reagan served as governor of California for eight years.

It can only be said that times have changed and times have changed.

What forced California to change its base camp should have been the unemployment wave and industrial restructuring in the early 90s.

The manufacturing industry declined, and more than 200,000 lower-level workers migrated to other states to make a living. At the same time, emerging industries such as computers emerged, and Silicon Valley grew rapidly, attracting many young white elites across the United States to join, and they firmly held the dominance. status.

In this industry, the threshold is quite high. The competition is education and quality, and ordinary immigrants cannot take away their jobs.

……

In California, the threshold for doctors is also quite high, and the threshold for famous doctors is even higher.

With so many clinics in California, few stand out like Iris Clinic.

Iris Clinic has always been far ahead.

Last time, a successful operation was performed on a 103-year-old man. After the news spread, many elderly people like to go to Iris Clinic.

In fact, Iris Clinic has always treated a large number of elderly people in the past. It is well-known.

This time, Iris Clinic has once again been pushed into the spotlight.

There are also some operational elements in it. The two accounts "Dr. Xiao Yang" and "Xue Qiao Selection" occasionally release some videos of Iris Clinic.

There was an old Chinese man who came here accompanied by his son after watching the video. He couldn't walk his legs and was in a wheelchair, with his son pushing him.

"Dr. Zhou, it would be great if you were here." The Chinese man's surname is Zhao. He is in his eighties. When he saw Zhou Qiao, he felt very cordial. Although they are all abroad and can speak English, it is more convenient to communicate in their native Chinese.

For these older generations, Chinese is engraved in their bones.

"What is your condition? Have you ever been to other hospitals before?" Zhou Qiao asked.

"Some, some," said Mr. Zhao.

Then, the other party's son quickly handed over some examination reports and medical records, including some CT, MRI and other films.

Zhou Qiao read it carefully and at the same time, asked about the other party's previous diagnosis and treatment experience and medical history.

The other party's situation is indeed very complicated.

About seven years ago, Mr. Zhao had "posterior lumbar decompression, fusion and internal fixation" surgery at the University of California Medical Center because of pain in his waist and legs. His symptoms were significantly relieved after the operation.

"I thought that after that operation, it would be cured once and for all, but I didn't expect that it would relapse again this year. My legs hurt so much that I couldn't walk. Then not long ago, my son took me to the University of California Medical Center for a follow-up visit, but the doctor who saw me He said, "I'm old and it's not easy for me to undergo surgery. I suggest conservative treatment. After a week of conservative treatment, the effect was not good." Mr. Zhao was very unwilling.

Without surgery, wouldn’t it mean that I would be in a wheelchair for the rest of my life? It’s okay to sit in a wheelchair, the key thing is that it still hurts!

Conservative treatment is not very effective, so why don’t I just wait to die now that I’m over eighty? Mr. Zhao felt that doctors at the University of California Medical Center were discriminating against him and were unwilling to perform surgery on him.

However, at such an old age, surgery is indeed very risky. He can understand it too.

To understand is to understand, but not to be reconciled.

Ants still live in vain, let alone humans?

Many people say that when they are young, they can live as long as they want, and it is acceptable to die at 75, but they will suffer as they live longer, but often when many people really reach that age, they are reluctant to die.

It is a blessing to be able to see this world for a few more years.

Once a person dies, there is really nothing left and will be lost in the long river of history.

After an ordinary person dies, an hour after the burial, relatives and friends start laughing and eating and drinking. After three to five years, they will basically not think about it. In a few more years, when the second and third generations have died one after another, there will probably be no one at all. After talking about it, no one may even know the name.

After the fourth and fifth generations pass away, who knew there was such a person as you?

Uncle Zhao wanted to live a few more years and be happier in his later years, so he remembered that there was a famous Chinese doctor in California who was young and promising and was good at treating bone injuries. The young lion dancer in Chinatown was disabled and could still do it well. Even if I jump onto the plum blossom pole lion dance again, I will definitely be able to stand up and walk again.

Therefore, Mr. Zhao strongly asked his son to take him to Iris Clinic.

Zhou Qiao looked at the examination report and saw a place. He couldn't help but be startled. He looked up at Mr. Zhao and said, "Your disease is not a recurrence of the previous surgical segment, but a problem in another place."

This is inconsistent with the situation described by Mr. Zhao just now.

"Ah? Another place?" Mr. Zhao was also surprised, but he quickly thought about it. No wonder the University of California Medical Center said that the recurrence of the disease had nothing to do with them.

At first I thought they were shirking their responsibilities, but it turned out that I had really misunderstood them.

However, it’s their fault for not explaining it clearly to themselves.

Zhou Qiao said: "Your leg pain this time is caused by problems in the adjacent segments of the previous lumbar fusion. If you have another surgery, your age will indeed bring huge risks."

"Then what should I do? Is it really inoperable?" Mr. Zhao was quite disappointed. If Zhou Qiao couldn't do it here, he really didn't know where to go.

Zhou Qiao thought for a moment and then said: "It's not impossible. I have a new technique here, a minimally invasive method. It doesn't require nails or large incisions. It should still be able to solve your leg disease. I just don't know if you are willing to try it. ?”

"Yes, yes, a hundred yes!" Mr. Zhao suddenly became happy and said with joy, "Dr. Zhou, I believe you! Just do it according to your own ideas!"

His son frowned slightly, because it was a new surgical technique. From what Dr. Zhou said, it seemed that it had not been done on anyone else before, and he didn't know if it would be effective. Wasn't this using my father as a guinea pig?

However, seeing his father so excited and eager to try, the son thought for a moment and then fell silent.

Because, in all of San Francisco, Zhou Qiao is probably the only one willing to perform surgery on his father, and the Iris Clinic's strength and reputation are unparalleled in California, and in many cases even surpass the University of California Medical Center.

Moreover, what did Dr. Zhou say? Minimally invasive!

Such a serious disease can be solved with minimally invasive treatments. Isn’t that the most beautiful solution?

The old father is so old that he is really not suitable for major surgery.

Therefore, Zhou Qiao explained the minimally invasive surgery plan to Mr. Zhao and his son in detail. If nothing else, it at least sounded pretty good and the explanation was easy to understand. Mr. Zhao and his son quickly agreed to undergo the surgery.

In terms of cost, the other party is also acceptable.

Next, Zhou Qiao called Jin Jizhen and arranged Mr. Zhao to the orthopedic ward of the community hospital to make preoperative preparations.

After everything was ready, Zhou Qiao took Murphy, Chiba Nanako, Park Xiuzhu and Jin Jijin into the operating room.

Stephanie also had a few patients for psychological counseling and was temporarily unavailable, so she didn't come.

Zhou Qiao looked at everyone present. He was quite uncomfortable without Elena and Ava.

Jin Jizhen can also play songs, but the songs she chooses are not in line with Zhou Qiao's "aesthetic". It's not that they don't sound good, but they just don't have the taste no matter how you listen to them, and they don't sound so comfortable to your ears.

Even if it's the same song, it won't sound good when played.

Zhou Qiao shook his head and smiled, he was being pretentious. This is not because the song is not good, but because I miss Elena and Ava.

However, it doesn't matter if the song is not "pleasant", and it will not affect his surgery.

What's more, this is only a minimally invasive surgery.

The difficulty of this surgery lies in creativity and the design of the surgical plan, rather than the specific operation.

During the operation, Zhou Qiao only made two small incisions, and the entire process was performed with the assistance of spinal endoscopy.

The patient's bone growth that is compressing the nerves is removed, and the ligamentum flavum that is compressing the nerves is bitten off, so that the previously severely compressed nerves can be completely released...

The operation only took half an hour. There were two small wounds, one 0.3 cm and one 0.8 cm, both less than 1 cm. Compared with such a large operation, they are not worth mentioning.

As for the other party's surgery seven years ago, the incision was ten centimeters long, and you can still see obvious scars that look like centipedes.
