On the second day, both Zhou Qiao and Elena kept yawning, and drinking coffee didn't help.
Ava was very curious and kept staring at Elena and Zhou Qiao, asking: "What did you do at night? Didn't you sleep?"
Zhou Qiao was suddenly embarrassed. He scratched his hair and scratched his ears. Taking advantage of this opportunity to cover up, his thoughts suddenly turned around and he quickly found an excuse.
"It's like this. Isn't this clinic open? I feel that my medical skills are not good enough and I am afraid of delaying the patient's condition, so I can't sleep at night. I didn't go to bed until after three in the morning after studying medical books last night."
Ava's eyes suddenly lit up and she gave Zhou Qiao a thumbs up and praised: "You are really good! If I could study like you before, I would have gone to college long ago!"
Zhou Qiao smiled coquettishly and said: "Your education in the United States is different. You have a happy education. We in China are very curly. In high school, it is common to wear stars and moons."
Ava shrugged and looked at Elena again: "What about you? You won't tell me that you are also learning nursing-related knowledge, right?"
As a twin, how could Ava not know that Elena has some abilities, and it is impossible for her to be like Joe who can calm down and study hard!
Elena made a face and said: "I just have pure insomnia, maybe I am also worried about the future of the clinic, and don't know where to go in the future? Well, then I didn't just lie down, I also read a book, although Not as long as Joe, but still learning new things about nursing.”
Deep down in her heart, she applauded Zhou Qiao for finding this reason! So I learned from it. Sure enough, Ava choked.
Ava: "..."
This little white girl with bright blue eyes and white teeth couldn't help but mutter: "Why are you all so motivated? It seems like I am heartless!"
She felt that as a member of the clinic, it was time for her to contribute to the clinic! Well, let’s keep studying!
"Elena, please accompany me to the library to borrow some professional books at noon! I can't be left behind by you!" Ava said.
"Okay, okay."
Elena and Zhou Qiao looked at each other and smiled knowingly while Ava was making black tea.
Summer in San Francisco is a typical "cool summer Mediterranean climate", which is relatively cool and rarely rains. Contrary to domestic cities, its rainy seasons tend to be in winter and spring.
Although the weather was nice, not a single patient came to the door one morning, and there were no phone appointments, which made Zhou Qiao wonder whether the phone was out of service due to arrears. But apparently not.
Because, after a while, he received a call from Mrs. Westin.
Mrs. Westin was very polite and called Zhou Qiao specifically to apologize, saying that the examination was done at the Dean Clinic. The well-known Dr. Dean said that the quality of the surgery was very good and praised Zhou Qiao's medical skills. She and her husband We all feel sorry for our son's behavior yesterday, and hope Zhou Qiao won't take it to heart.
How could Zhou Qiao be angry? Just say that this is human nature, and that Brian is so concerned about Mr. Westin's condition and is a very filial and good son. He is happy that they have such a good son.
Zhou Qiao also specifically told Mrs. Westin that "filial piety" is an excellent quality in China, ranking first. In ancient times, filial behavior like her son's would be rewarded by the government.
If his reputation spreads, he will be elected as an official.
Anyway, it’s just a rainbow fart. Mrs. Westing listened happily on the other end of the phone.
There is no way, the clinic’s main focus is repeat customers, and it is very necessary to establish a good relationship with patients. The only fly in the ointment is that Zhou Qiao's English is really mediocre, and he doesn't know how to translate "Filial piety is the first of all virtues" to perfectly express that meaning.
Fortunately, Mrs. Westin understands.
After lunch, Ava really took Elena to the library to borrow books. Elena actually didn't want to go, thinking that if Ava left, wouldn't she just have the opportunity to be alone with Zhou Qiao?
But I can't defeat my sister.
Elena could only blink at Zhou Qiao and asked: "Qiao, are you going?"
Zhou Qiao said: "I'd better stay in the clinic, what if a patient comes to visit?"
Although, he also wanted to go. I had never been in love before in school, and the thing I fantasized about the most was reading books with my girlfriend in the library. It would be such a tender and affectionate scene.
Now, there are two little white girls in front of him. Unfortunately, he has to stay alone in the clinic because of work.
"Okay. Let's go then! Don't worry, we will be back as soon as possible!" Elena and Ava waved, holding hands and skipping out.
"Pay attention to safety!" Zhou Qiao couldn't help but remind him from behind.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, a patient with a cold and fever that Zhou Qiao had been waiting for finally came to his door. She is an old lady who lives alone, her name is Cathy, she is in her seventies, her steps are declining, she was also a client of Iris Clinic in the past.
Zhou Qiao helped the old man sit down. After understanding his condition, he asked Ava to draw blood and send the blood sample to the testing company for testing as soon as possible.
Since the old man's body temperature was a bit high, Zhou Qiao ordered Elena to give the old man an injection of antipyretic medicine and rested for a while. Then the old man felt a little better.
Zhou Qiao and Elena chatted with the old man to learn more about her family situation.
The old man had never been married in his life, so he had no children. When he fell ill at home, no one brought him tea or water, and no one even knew about it.
She carried it at home for a day and a night, thinking that she might die in bed, so she struggled to get out of bed and came to Iris Clinic with a cane.
She couldn't afford to call an ambulance. Many people in the United States would rather die than call an ambulance. Of course, this is a joke. When I really need it, I will still call out in pain.
Cathy's home is not far from here, only four to five hundred meters, but it took her almost half an hour to walk just such a small distance. When I arrived, I felt completely exhausted.
Zhou Qiao took a piece of paper and wrote the clinic's phone number on it with a pen. The font was large so that the elderly could not see it clearly: "If you need anything in the future, just call the clinic directly and we will come to your home for diagnosis and treatment." of!"
Due to the rush to take over the clinic and probably also because of lack of money, he has not yet printed business cards. In addition, even if business cards are printed, they may not be suitable for the elderly.
Because most of the elderly are dim-sighted, the fonts on business cards are too small.
He thought about printing special business cards specifically for the elderly. After all, there are still many middle-aged and elderly people living in the surrounding area, which is also a potential customer group.
Although Cathy was unwell, she talked a lot. She probably hadn't talked to anyone for a long time, and no one would sit down and talk to her so intently like Zhou Qiao and Elena.
