"Exchange!" Zhou Qiao gave the order without hesitation. Because in the United States, you can’t even get the residency level!
As the director of a hospital, you need to have a doctor's license, right?
Otherwise, when the business gets better, they might recruit people, but the doctor they recruit is an attending doctor, and I am a resident doctor, which would be embarrassing and a bit overwhelming.
Of course, controlling the situation always relies on true ability, not certificates, but without certificates, people will have a rebellious attitude and a lot of disharmony will arise.
Having both skills and certificates, wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds?
Soon, a glittering treasure chest appeared in his mind, and along with the virtual scene of scattering flowers, the attending doctor's license floated to the surface.
Zhou Qiao couldn't hide his excitement and said quickly: "Don't exchange it for the real thing now, wait until I return to the clinic."
He is still on Luo Ya's bed, what's going on if a certificate suddenly falls out?
"I didn't expect you, who seems to be weak and gentle, to be so strong..." Luo Ya murmured, somewhat obsessed.
[My current girlfriend’s favorability is 100! 】
Zhou Qiao thought that this system was a bit unfair. The favorability it mentioned might not only be limited to emotions, but also partly satisfaction? Is it a comprehensive indicator?
"Let me check your wound again."
Zhou Qiao carefully began to examine every inch of skin.
Almost a month and a half has passed since they first met. With the blessing of healing properties, Luo Ya's trauma has basically recovered. Except for the faint red mark on her palm, I believe that this mark will slowly dissipate in a short time. .
These days, due to the injury, Luo Ya lives a quiet life, and her originally wheat-colored skin has turned a little whiter.
She was originally Italian, and her ancestry was of mixed race, but she tended to have a white complexion. She used to have tanned wheat-colored skin, but now she is more attractive after being slightly whiter.
Zhou Qiao originally wanted to continue doing something, such as playing the harmonica and talking about music, but Luo Ya had already fallen asleep.
…
Iris Clinic. Mr. Clark accompanied Mrs. Clark here for follow-up examinations and continued chemotherapy.
Due to chemotherapy, Mrs. Clark had lost more than half of her hair, so she simply asked her husband to help her shave her head. Fortunately, it was already mid-September, and the summer in San Francisco was not hot in the first place. Now it has entered autumn, and it is even more... cool.
Mrs. Clark wore a retro-style newsboy hat with a one-piece design. In addition to keeping warm, it was also quite chic.
This is a hat that many rich people were pursuing in those days, but in the past, they were from the working class!
In the movie "The Great Gatsby", millionaire Jay Gatsby often wears a newsboy hat with a suit jacket or vest. And, as the movie became popular, men wearing newsboy caps could be seen everywhere on the streets. Therefore, the newsboy hat is also known as "Gatsby Cap".
The newsboy cap was once one of the iconic items of the Razor Knife, the most fashionable British gangster at the time. Coats, suits, pocket watches, leather shoes, newsboy caps or peaked caps, and leather gloves are their uniform attire.
The Razor Party's newsboy cap is not only a part of the fashionable outfit, but also a symbol of the gang and a convenient killing weapon in hand-to-hand combat. They sewed sharp blades between the brim of their hats. When necessary, they could take off their hats and attack the opponent's eyes, giving them an advantage in the fight.
As soon as the hat was swiped, "Hi~", the opponent's eyes were blinded, and blood splattered, which was quite tragic!
Mrs. Clark's other side effects were okay, but her vomiting and oral ulcers were a bit severe. Zhou Qiao helped her take appropriate medicines, strengthened anti-vomiting before chemotherapy, and used drugs to treat oral ulcers.
"Mrs. Clark, you have already had two courses of chemotherapy. Let me arrange an examination for you. If the effect is good, we will start preparing for surgery!" Zhou Qiao said.
"Okay, okay, it's all up to you, handsome young doctor!" Mrs. Clark said with a smile.
She had a very good experience undergoing chemotherapy here. After so many days of treatment, she gradually accepted and adapted psychologically, so she smiled more.
Because Iris Clinic and people around her told her that maintaining a happy mood would be helpful in overcoming the disease.
Regardless of whether it was useful or not, under the influence of the desire to survive, Mrs. Clark decided to smile as much as possible.
The results of the examination were very good. Enhanced CT showed that the tumor had significantly shrunk; CEA and CA125 had dropped to normal levels, and CA19-9 had dropped to 91.8U/ml.
Therefore, Zhou Qiao thought carefully and used his master's expertise in pancreatic cancer assessment. In view of the fact that the tumor showed a good response to chemotherapy (partial response, PR) at the imaging and tumor marker levels, he decided to perform surgical intervention on Mrs. Clark. .
"Such a quick operation?" Mrs. Clark was still a little surprised. Although she had been prepared for it, she was really a little nervous when it was her turn to have the operation! Because the critical moment has arrived! The time has come to decide her fate!
"Well, the effect of your early chemotherapy is very good. You also know that this disease should be treated sooner rather than later. Now that the conditions for surgery are met, we naturally have to deal with it as soon as possible to gain a chance for the future! The later it is delayed, the more variables will more!"
"Okay, okay, when will the surgery be scheduled?"
"Tomorrow afternoon!" Because Zhou Qiao has asked Ava to contact the community hospital, and the best operating room will have a bye tomorrow afternoon, and the anesthesia team made an appointment with Nancy, who is experienced and has worked with them before.
This kind of major surgery is extremely difficult and risky. Naturally, it is better to perform it in a community hospital. The conditions and supporting facilities there are more complete than those at Iris Clinic. If there is an emergency, there are corresponding equipment for rescue!
The operating room of Iris Clinic is only suitable for minor first- and second-level surgeries, or some third-level surgeries.
In the afternoon of that day, Mrs. Clark stayed at the Iris Clinic for preoperative preparations. In the evening, Mr. Clark also stayed here, accompanying her on another bed in the same ward.
Since she was going to have an operation soon, she might have suffered from pre-operative stress syndrome, or she might have suddenly changed bedrooms. She was not used to sleeping, and her body was in pain. Mrs. Clark didn't sleep well all night.
Mr. Clark also went back and forth.
"Deborah, we really need to inform our daughter this time. She has to come for such a major operation!" Mr. Clark said in the middle of the night.
"Well, I'm afraid it will affect her work." Mrs. Clark said.
Mr. Clark became a little angry and said: "No matter how important work is, is it important to have parents? No, I have to call her and ask her to come back tomorrow!"
Last time I said I would call back when I was free, but a month had passed and I still didn’t see my daughter calling to show concern. I didn’t even know that my old mother had cancer!
It’s so unattractive! I keep saying that I am busy at work, and I am busy at work. Is work really that important?
Mrs. Clark said dumbfounded: "George, at least we have to wait until dawn, it's so late at night!"
Mr. Clark nodded.
At dawn, around seven o'clock, Mr. Clark estimated that his daughter had already gotten up, so he called his daughter.
At the same time, the California Medical Board's special investigation team also set out, with the target: Iris Clinic!
