I run a clinic in the United States

Chapter 55 Jessica Going Crazy
"Jessica, are you up yet?" Mr. Clark said with a hint of anger after the call was connected.

Although he has always loved his daughter, he has drifted away from her. Now he doesn't come back several times a year, and he doesn't have a phone call. It also happens that his wife is suffering from cancer. It is a lie to say that he is not angry.

Now, as the operation was approaching, Mr. Clark suddenly became afraid. If the operation failed, the remaining days would be short, and he had to inform his daughter.

Jessica, who was far away in New York, looked for her cell phone from the bedside with sleepy eyes, and yawned: "Daddy, I'm sorry, I haven't gotten up yet. I had a video conference with colleagues in the Asia-Pacific region at 11 o'clock last night and it kept going. I didn’t go to bed until after 3 o’clock in the morning, so I slept a little longer in the morning. What’s the matter? Is anything okay?”

Hearing this, Mr. Clark's resentment suddenly disappeared. It turns out that his daughter is really busy!The meeting was going to be held until 3 o'clock in the morning!What kind of colleagues are these!

Just immediately, he smiled wryly again.Because he realized that the time zone in the Asia-Pacific region is different from that in the United States, and it is daytime over there!

However, the United States is so powerful, why should it accommodate colleagues in the Asia-Pacific region?
Can't we choose the time to be during the day in the United States and at night in the Asia-Pacific region?

Has the mighty United States declined?Need someone to look up to?

"Daddy, what's wrong with you?" Jessica asked.

Mr. Clark rubbed his eyes, which seemed to be filled with sand. He choked and said: "Your mother has cancer, and it is a very serious pancreatic cancer. The doctor said it is the king of cancers. She had pre-chemotherapy before, and it will be carried out at one o'clock this afternoon. Surgery!"

"What?..." Jessica was stunned for a moment, and after a full seven seconds, she jumped off the bed without any clothes on, and hurriedly confirmed, "Daddy, say it again! I didn't listen Clear! I must be hallucinating, right?"

She thought it was because she didn't sleep well!It's all my fault to my colleagues in China. They can't solve the problem at all, and they keep nagging at the meeting!

Mr. Clark is such a strong person, at this time, he inevitably wiped away his old tears and repeated what he said just now.

"Oh my god! I can't believe it! Daddy, is Mom okay? I need to talk to her!" Jessica stomped her feet, fidgeted, and walked around in the bedroom!

"Your mother is in good condition. Doctor Zhou at the Iris Clinic is very good." Mr. Clark said, and then passed the phone to Mrs. Clark who was lying on the hospital bed.

"Jessica, I'm mom..."

"Mom..." Jessica couldn't hold it anymore, and burst into tears, "Mom, are you okay now? Why didn't you call me before, and didn't notify me until now?... Woooo... ..."

Mrs. Clark said softly: "Silly child, mom is fine for the time being. The doctor said there is hope for a cure. Don't cry...be good...your dad also called you before, but you said he was busy."

Jessica suddenly remembered that what her father wanted to talk about in the phone call a month ago!
God, she felt that she was so wrong!
She always felt that her parents were still young and could always be with her.When she was a child, naively, she once thought that her parents would not die.

But now, such a thing happened!
"Mom, it's Jessica who's wrong! I'm sorry! Wait for me, I'll take leave and take the fastest flight back!" Jessica cried and said, and after a quick chat, she hung up the phone, flustered Start packing!

However, New York is too far away from San Francisco. One is on the east coast and the other is on the west coast. It takes more than five hours for a direct flight, and more than eight hours for a connecting flight.

She still had to buy a ticket and rush to the airport. She would not arrive at the Iris Clinic for six or seven hours.

But now it was almost 7:[-], Jessica was in a hurry: "I hope I can arrive before the operation!"

"Hey, Iris Clinic? What kind of clinic is it? Why don't you remember it?"

Jessica suddenly thought of a question, so she quickly searched the Internet for information about this clinic.

She was shocked to find that this was a small clinic of an unusual size, and there was news on the Internet that the owner was a Chinese woman who died in a car accident almost two months ago, and that she was replaced by a young man from China .

This news was a piece of local news in San Francisco when Zhou Qiao first arrived. It was very inconspicuous, and thanks to Jessica, she was able to search for it.

It has to be said that the elites of Harvard University have a strong ability to find information!

She then called and asked her high school classmates who stayed in San Francisco to work.

A high school classmate told her that there is only one doctor and two nurses in this clinic, both of whom are young people, but it is said that the business is quite good.Especially when it comes to weight loss!
"What the hell? Lose weight? You told me that a doctor who specializes in weight loss is going to operate on my mother for pancreatic cancer?"

Jessica was about to go crazy, thinking that her parents were cheated by that Chinese doctor!
How could such an important operation be performed by a little-known doctor?And what people are good at is losing weight!
Isn't that a joke with your life?
She hurriedly called and wanted to stop it, but Mr. Clark was accompanying Mrs. Clark for the preoperative examination and did not hear.

At this time, Jessica's flight boarding time was up again, and the airport announcement was urging her, so she gritted her teeth and walked quickly towards the boarding entrance!

"Forget it, let's talk about it after the past. I hope mom is safe and sound!"

She stopped calling because the plane was about to take off and she couldn't make calls.But that's not the main reason.

The main reason is that she knows her parents. This couple is very stubborn and won't listen to opinions. Once they decide something, even the eight violent Tyrannosaurus rex can't take it back. Now she tells them to change clinics. , Changing doctors, it probably doesn't make sense!

Jessica sat on the plane and had no time to appreciate the spectacular sea of ​​clouds above the sky and the golden light rising from the morning sun. She was worried and sighed from time to time.

An elderly flight attendant came over to ask what was going on, if she was not feeling well, and if she needed help. Jessica just waved her hand wordlessly, indicating that she was fine.

Iris Clinic was busy preparing for the afternoon surgery, but at nine o'clock, we suddenly received an uninvited guest!
There were seven people in total, six of whom were investigators from the California Medical Board task force, and one was Kainz, the owner of the Red-billed Gull Clinic.

Kainz is the whistleblower. He is acquainted with a doctor in the investigation team, and he came here to watch the fun!
In the United States, the occupation that tops the list of average earners has long been that of doctors.

If practicing medicine is regarded as a competition, then after the rules of the competition (doctor practice regulations) are determined, the practicing doctors will undoubtedly be the competitors, and the medical committee will review and approve the qualifications of the competitors, supervise the competition field, and issue yellow card warnings or even red cards to punish illegal competitors. Referee!
Each state government in the United States has set up The Medical Board or a similar institution, which is responsible for issuing medical licenses in the state and punishing doctors who violate the regulations.
