Zhou Qiao nodded secretly, this was at least a professional level.
"Have you ever done this before? Or have you seen others do it?" Zhou Qiao asked.
Murphy shook his head slightly: "Not really." She never had the chance to enter the operating room.
Although Professor Pasent likes her, Professor Pasent rarely performs surgeries anymore. He focuses on scientific research, project management, teaching, multidisciplinary consultation, academic conferences, affiliated hospital administration, and the work of the medical committee. He is very busy. There are too many things.
Besides, given Professor Parsont's qualifications, even if he had to be an surgeon, he would not undergo a minor surgery like appendectomy. So what, a great skill is of little use.
Appendectomy, a minor surgery, is basically performed in primary care clinics in the United States.
The clinical experience of large hospitals in treating such minor illnesses may not be as good as that of small clinics.
"Next time a patient with appendicitis needs surgery, I will guide you. If you perform the operation once, you will probably become a master in no time!" Zhou Qiao said.
"Master level?" Murphy was stunned, and then said, "Dr. Zhou, you are too generous. How can I be called a master?"
"Haha, don't belittle yourself." Zhou Qiaoxin said, if I didn't have a system, I wouldn't dare to be your master.
There were still many useless props, but there was no time. Because a patient came to the door, Zhou Qiao had to suspend the assessment of Murphy, greeted the patient warmly, and introduced him to the general clinic.
Zhou Qiao, of course, is a general practitioner.
This time, a patient with abdominal pain, diarrhea and mild fever came to the door, but by chance, it was not appendicitis. After consultation, Zhou Qiao estimated that it was just ordinary enteritis, so he arranged relevant examinations.
The results showed that it was indeed acute bacterial enteritis, so antidiarrheal drugs, antibiotics, and oral rehydration salt powder were prescribed to replenish electrolytes.
There were a total of nine new patients in the morning, plus the six who came for follow-up consultations, a total of fifteen. Since five of them were surgical and needed sutures, dressings or dressing changes, they were all shared with Murphy.
I have to say, it’s good to have someone to help.
Among the remaining ten people, there was a newborn baby who, like little Danielle, had physiological jaundice before. The rest were suffering from colds, fever, headaches and diarrhea. In such cases, Zhou Qiao would not care at all. No need to resort to the system.
After all, his basic medical knowledge is still very solid. Gradually, I also adapted to the role of attending doctor. Easy to do.
At noon, Ava and Murphy had burgers and black tea, while Elena and Zhou Qiao had fast food from the Panda Restaurant.
Panda Restaurant is an American-style Chinese restaurant with a per-person price of more than ten dollars. The General Tso's Chicken and Kung Pao Chicken are said to be good, but after Elena tried them, she felt they were not that good, mainly because they were not spicy enough.
Zhou Qiao used yesterday's leftover millet to help her make a homemade chili sauce, which included millet, garlic cloves, onions, scallions, bay leaves, cinnamon, salt, ginger slices, extremely fresh flavor, and sesame oil. The amounts of various ingredients were not that big. It’s very particular, and it’s made according to your mood and preference. It’s quite delicious, at least Elena is full of praises.
The first customer in the afternoon surprised Murphy because it was her grandfather who came to the door in person!
"Grandpa, why are you here?"
Murphy felt it was so sudden and a little embarrassed. However, her expression was always cold and others could not tell that she was embarrassed.
Grandpa said with a smile: "Of course I want to come and take a look at your first job. By the way, I also want to do a physical examination here and experience the service, so as to support you."
Murphy awkwardly took his grandfather to see Zhou Qiao.
Zhou Qiaoyan smiled, received the grandfather very politely, and took him to visit the clinic.
Murphy's grandfather was a tall man with silver hair. His brows were furrowed during the visit.
He is actually not very satisfied with this place.
In his expectation, he very much hopes that his granddaughter will work in a high-end large hospital or teach on a university campus as a professor instead of a small clinic like this.
However, he also knew his granddaughter's character and couldn't help but feel sad. The feeling of loss is beyond words.
Murphy: "..." I felt very uncomfortable, having disappointed my grandpa.
Zhou Qiao smiled and said: "Murphy is still young. He is just interning here for a period of time to accumulate some work experience. He can still go to other places in the future."
Murphy blinked at the side and thought to himself, where else can I go?
However, her grandfather felt a little happy after hearing this.
Yes, my granddaughter is still young, only 19 years old, and she still has a promising future!
"Murphy, I'll leave it to you to arrange your grandpa's physical examination." Zhou Qiao thought to himself, familiar relatives, there should be no communication barriers, right?
Murphy nodded repeatedly and took his grandfather to the consulting room.
Upon inquiry, she discovered that her grandfather had not had a physical examination for nearly a year!
"Grandpa, why are you like this? Didn't you call your mother before and tell her that you had a physical examination every six months?" Murphy complained.
Grandpa patted his chest and said cheerfully: "Grandpa's body is so good that he can challenge a bear alone!"
Murphy couldn't help but smile, but if he didn't have a physical examination for a year, it wouldn't be a big problem, and it was too late now.
She was still a little lucky. Fortunately, she had done an internship and her grandfather took the initiative to ask for a physical examination. Otherwise, he would have been hiding it from them!
At the same time, Murphy also blamed himself for not caring enough about his grandfather.
There are several sets of physical examination plans in the Iris Clinic system. Murphy selected one, thought about it, and added a few more indicators.
"Grandpa, after you finish the physical examination, go back directly. I will receive the physical examination report here. Well, I will go back early in the evening." Murphy sent his grandfather to the door.
Grandpa waved his hand and walked to his classic car.
In fact, he was kind of looking forward to Murphy staying and working in San Francisco. His daughter was married far away and couldn't come back a few times a year. It would be great if his grandson settled here!
"But such a small clinic...sigh..." Grandpa sighed softly and drove the car slowly onto the main road.
Before leaving get off work in the afternoon, Zhou Qiao took Murphy with him to practice another surgery.
"This Orange patient is too fat. Ordinary weight loss programs are no longer applicable. He needs gastrectomy surgery." Zhou Qiao took out a plump orange, placed it in front of Murphy, and said seriously.
On the side, Elena and Ava, who came to watch, couldn't help but cover their mouths and chuckle, thinking to themselves, is there still such an operation?
Why does it feel a bit like a child playing house and playing games?
Murphy couldn't help but laugh slightly, but soon returned to his trademark cold and dull expression.
But her dullness is quite different from ordinary people's dullness. Ordinary people's dullness comes from the inside out, not only their expressions, but also their eyes.
But her dullness was limited to her expression, but her eyes were extremely smart, and occasionally a ray of intelligence flashed through her.
That kind of light is difficult to describe. It may be because of the contrast, but it is particularly impressive.
Or call it "spiritual light"? "Light of Wisdom"?
Zhou Qiao didn't know how her face was so stiff that she didn't even move her eyebrows, but her eyes flashed like this.
He tried several times in private in front of the mirror and found that he couldn't do it at all.
"I have performed this gastric resection surgery once before, well, it was Felipe who came for follow-up consultation this afternoon. You have also seen his condition, and the effect is still there."
