The journey was short and Zhou Qiao didn’t have time to think too much because the testing center was here!
Danielle is not out of danger yet, so Zhou Qiao must accompany her.
Otherwise, Elena, Cathy, and Danielle are all women, or they are old and weak. The weak one is still a patient who may have a life-threatening crisis at any time. How can he rest assured?
He follows along and can handle problems promptly if they arise.
Moreover, 90% of the intersections on San Francisco streets have no traffic lights. To go to the testing center, they have to cross the street and push a hospital bed.
This hospital bed, carrying a ventilator, etc., is very heavy. If it encounters a downhill road, Elena and Cathy will not be able to handle it at all!
If you are hit by a car, it will be another tragedy!
So Zhou Qiao had to personally escort him.
If it is in other clinics, sorry, the attending doctor will accompany you personally, which will be charged and very expensive.
Well, for some serious diseases, if the attending doctor comes to check the room, a bill of ten thousand US dollars will be generated! The psychiatrist came over to have a chat with the patient, to relieve the patient's anxiety, and gave him a small toy or small gift that was worthless. Sorry, the $10,000 bill came again!
The rehabilitation therapist stayed with me for half an hour of training. Sorry, the $10,000 bill came again!
Here at Zhou Qiao, all unnecessary and not very important operations are free! Or, just charge a few hundred dollars as a token fee, and that's fine.
It is simply the conscience of the industry!
Even so, Zhou Qiao feels that it is quite profitable! The profits of the clinic have been increasing recently, with monthly income almost exceeding 100,000 US dollars! Not counting those given by Luo Ya, only serious clinic patients.
It is worth mentioning that many patients at the Red-billed Ou Clinic have also been transferred to the Iris Clinic for follow-up care.
Business is getting better and better, and Zhou Qiao's mood is getting better and better, but he is a little too busy. Recruitment is imminent.
At the commercial testing center, Zhou Qiao took little Danielle for a CT scan. Sure enough, a high-density shadow appeared from the distal end of the trachea to the entrance of the right main bronchus, indicating the presence of foreign matter!
This requires surgery. With Zhou Qiao's knowledge, he can choose laryngoscopy + bronchoscopy + removal of foreign body in the right lung under general anesthesia, which is not a problem.
Because after these days of accumulation, his balance of medical mystical points once again exceeded the 100 mark! A full 113 points!
Redeem for a master-level one, which is only 15 points, leaving 98 points left!
He no longer pursues perfection, except for very special surgical skills, such as debridement and suturing, which are used a lot, or are very difficult and may cause big problems if you are not careful.
As for the rest, to deal with ordinary illnesses, the master level is more than enough.
Zhou Qiao thought that this surgery could be done in a clinic, so she asked Ava to contact the anesthesiologist at the community hospital. Andre happened to be free in the afternoon, so he asked him to come over immediately.
With the imaging report and little Danielle, Zhou Qiao and his team returned to Iris Clinic.
Poor Cathy, lunch hasn't been eaten yet. Elena didn't eat either. On the way back, I bought some bread and milk, and Elena and Cathy made do with it.
After returning to the clinic, Zhou Qiao helped push the hospital bed to the second floor and exchanged it with a bed in a ward. Elena and Ava were busy preparing for the operation, while Cathy accompanied poor little Danielle in the ward.
Zhou Qiao came downstairs, and Murphy was still sitting quietly in the sitting area reading a book.
"Professor Pasent told me about you and said you might come in a few days, but I didn't expect you to arrive so soon! Thank you for your help today. The tracheal intubation was done very well." Zhou Qiao said with a slight smile.
According to his experience evaluation, this is still the professional level in the system.
Murphy's pretty face was still dull, but she came here to ask Zhou Qiao for advice. She was not allowed to leave until she achieved her goal.
So, Murphy mustered up the courage, looked up at Zhou Qiao, shrugged in a very rare way, and said, "This is actually my first time doing it with a real person."
Zhou Qiao looked surprised and said very sincerely: "As expected, he is the genius doctor Professor Parsant mentioned to me. He is so strong the first time he does it!"
If there is no system and he relies purely on his own ability, Zhou Qiao still has self-awareness. The first time he does it, he can only be entry-level.
After Zhou Qiao's words of praise came out, Murphy remained calm and unmoved, but the golden virtual panel popped up in Zhou Qiao's mind again.
[The host's own charm +2 is passively triggered again, Murphy's favorability +2, and the current favorability is 54! 】
Zhou Qiao: "..." What the hell? Did the favorability increase so quickly? Wouldn't it be possible in a few days...
He felt a little guilty, and he also felt unreliable. How could a cold girl like Murphy be like that... Besides, thinking about that for the first time when they met was too... scumbag.
Zhou Qiao felt that he was quite a scumbag ever since he had this system.
"I heard that you have graduated with a doctorate in medicine. Where do you plan to work?" Zhou Qiao sat down and chatted.
Murphy was silent for a moment, but finally answered, saying softly: "I haven't found it yet." Thinking of this, she felt sad. Other classmates or junior students in the lower grades were all laughing at her.
Zhou Qiao comforted him: "A 19-year-old doctor of medicine, you should be the most powerful medical student I have ever seen. If it doesn't work, you can open your own clinic like me. Well, my clinic is inherited from my Auntie. But it is not difficult to open a clinic in the United States. If you need help, you can ask me."
After these days, Zhou Qiao is already familiar with the process of opening a clinic in the United States.
Especially for new clinics, if they choose to be affiliated with a hospital, there are actually subsidies.
The last time he went to negotiate a contract with a community hospital, he learned that if he was affiliated with a community hospital, he would receive an annual subsidy of about US$150,000 for two years. If you are affiliated with the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center, there will be approximately US$200,000 in annual funding, and you can get it for two years.
Unfortunately, Iris Clinic has long been affiliated with these two hospitals and has been open for many years, so it does not meet the conditions for receiving subsidies.
The staff at the community hospital told him that Iris Clinic had received subsidies from them more than ten years ago, so it was not possible now.
Murphy suddenly looked embarrassed and fell silent.
She murmured in her mind, open a clinic? How can it be that easy? Do you think everyone is as proficient in so many complicated surgeries as you are? I have an advantage in theoretical knowledge, but my practical ability is far behind Dr. Zhou!
Thinking of this, a thought suddenly came to her mind, that is, if she could stay at Iris Clinic and practice here, wouldn't she be able to learn skills from Dr. Zhou every day?
As for opening a clinic, she did not consider it. Firstly, her hands-on ability was not good enough and her medical experience was not rich enough. Secondly, opening a clinic was too troublesome and there were too many things to deal with. She had a deep social anxiety disorder. Patients and communicating with patients have problems, so how can they deal with those chores?
She raised her head and glanced at the handsome and charming Chinese doctor in front of her, and couldn't help asking what she wanted from the bottom of her heart: "Dr. Zhou, are you recruiting intern doctors here?"
As soon as she said the words, she felt anxious, feeling that she was too abrupt. When she felt embarrassed, her face became more serious, and her whole person suddenly gave off a feeling like a cold iceberg.
Zhou Qiao felt her emotional fluctuations and thought to herself, Murphy is really different. If it had been anyone else, after making such a request, they would have smiled or smiled expectantly, hoping that the other party would agree.
But Murphy... refused first!
