Felipe came for a follow-up visit in the afternoon, alone, without his mother.
Because after the operation, his mentality may have been much better, he had visions and hopes for the future, and he became "brave".
Of course, it was also because Zhou Qiao provided him with psychological counseling every time he came for follow-up consultation.
These psychological consultations and counseling are all paid items and can be included in medical insurance, but Zhou Qiao's fees are lower than those of other doctors. Relatively speaking, the price/performance ratio is still very high.
In fact, Murphy also knows medical knowledge about mental health. However, due to her personality, these need to be expressed verbally, which is difficult for her to express.
Other medical knowledge, especially surgical operations, only need to be done by hand, and there is no problem.
Murphy has also studied the medical knowledge of autism, but it is difficult for doctors to treat themselves.
In addition, the current medical community has no effective cure for this disease.
Nearly a month and a half has passed since the last gastric surgery. Felipe's weight has dropped from 403 pounds at his peak to 347 pounds, a total loss of 56 pounds (about 25 kilograms).
Of course, this value also includes the part of the stomach that was cut off before, but even so, it is quite gratifying!
Most importantly, his blood sugar was effectively controlled.
Felipe told Zhou Qiao and Murphy some of his post-operative feelings. He noticed that Murphy was also very introverted and socially anxious, and he couldn't help but feel more relaxed.
He secretly thought that if Murphy was so beautiful, had a doctor of medicine, and had social difficulties, then it would not be worth mentioning that he was so fat and had social difficulties. Well, it falls into the normal category.
At least, he was now able to face Zhou Qiao alone and tell the doctor about his condition.
It sounds pretty organized.
When the gastric resection surgery started for the fat patient Cheng Zi, Zhou Qiao taught him step by step, extremely seriously, carefully and patiently.
He only taught him twice, and Murphy was already familiar with the surgical procedures, the precautions for each step, and the various response plans in case of emergencies.
The system determined that Murphy’s vertical sleeve gastrectomy had reached the “specialty level”.
Zhou Qiao was no longer shocked, but silently took out another cherry and began to demonstrate "abdominal retrieval".
Then, he took out an apple the size of a fist and performed "heart suturing" on it...
Then he took out the grapefruit and took out the "kidney stone"...
Then I took the dragon fruit and cut the black "tumors"...
He also brought a bunch of grapes and took out the seeds for a "cesarean section"...
They also performed "pelvic tumor peeling" on cabbage and "skin grafting" on tomatoes...
Then he used a small drill to carve words on the raw egg without breaking the egg membrane... Then he used a scalpel to gently cut the egg membrane, and used No. 0 silk thread to sew the egg membrane without the egg liquid flowing out...
…
Zhou Qiao himself has all the master-level skills that can be exchanged, but often after demonstrating them once or twice, Murphy can understand them and reach the "specialty level" level determined by the system!
Of course, because Murphy has not practiced it with real people, she is not aware of her own medical skills, but Zhou Qiao knows it very well!
When the ten fruit and vegetable simulated surgeries were completed, Zhou Qiao's body shook slightly, and the system in his mind once again popped up a dazzling golden virtual panel:
[Congratulations to the host for achieving the "little mentor" achievement! As a reward, you will receive a wonderful flower sachet, which can effectively alleviate autism symptoms if worn for a long time! 】
[Murphy's favorability +10, current favorability is 71! 】
Zhou Qiao couldn't help but silently ask the system in his mind: "What exactly is this strange flower sachet? What is its mechanism for relieving autism?"
System: "The strange flower sachet can emit a strange fragrance. Its effect on the human body is similar to that of sulforaphane, but the effect is stronger and has no side effects. It can cause people to have a fever in the middle of the night, and occasionally the body temperature can reach 40 degrees Celsius. When you wake up Then returned to normal.”
"Cause people to have a fever?" Zhou Qiao was confused.
System: “Fever stimulates heat shock proteins (HSPs) and cellular stress responses, thereby improving synaptic function and long-range connections, and effectively increases gene transcription expression through NFE2L2 (Nrf2), alleviating symptoms in patients with autism. It’s very helpful.”
"The only side effect is probably that you need to drink more water when you wake up."
Zhou Qiao pondered and then asked: "How long will it take for relief? Or to put it another way, how long will it take for wearing this sachet to return to almost normal people's ability to socialize?"
System: "At least one year, maybe two or three years!"
Zhou Qiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Because if a medical genius like Murphy and a surgical genius could provide her with relief in a short period of time, she might be able to fly immediately!
Where can I still endure the hardship and stay at the Iris Clinic?
And Zhou Qiao's secret treatment for her could not be brought to the table because the magical medicine was difficult to explain.
This is one of the reasons why Zhou Qiao has not redeemed his autism-related miracle drugs before.
The top ten medical seeds are only useful if you keep them around. If they run away, they are of no use!
Another reason is that he teaches ten surgical skills through common vegetables and fruits. Although some of them already have master level and do not need to be exchanged, most of them still need to be exchanged. Therefore, the medical skills he finally accumulated are Points were used up once again, and the account balance was only a pitiful 13 points!
Most surgeries involve suturing. Zhou Qiao has perfect debridement and suturing techniques, so some skills don't require so much medical expertise in exchange.
I originally planned to exchange it for the miracle medicine for autism some time later, but unexpectedly, the system directly rewarded me with a precious sachet.
It was getting late outside, and it was probably not safe to take the bus or subway, especially for a weak girl like Murphy.
Therefore, I still have to entrust the black girl at the laundry.
Zhou Qiao thought for a while and went upstairs. When he came down, he already had three sachets in his hand.
"These three sachets are for you. They were given to me by my friends at the traditional Chinese medicine clinic there when I went to Chinatown. Wearing them closely for a long time will be very good for the body!"
Zhou Qiao naturally threw the blame to the traditional Chinese medicine clinic in Chinatown.
Smelling fragrance to maintain health is actually a means of external treatment with traditional Chinese medicine. It has a name called "clothing therapy" or "fragrance therapy". It is a genuine traditional Chinese medicine technique.
Currently, TCM is not licensed as a doctor in the United States, regardless of state.
However, there are TCM acupuncturist licenses and TCM physician licenses.
There are also many acupuncture schools in the United States that specialize in training acupuncturists and awarding master's degrees. But it is said that a doctorate may also be awarded in the future.
It is worth mentioning that less than one-third of the students are Chinese. The essence has been learned by foreigners.
Acupuncturists in about 20 states can prescribe Chinese medicine, and in several states such as California, Chinese medicine prescriptions are already covered by medical insurance.
Of course, what Zhou Qiao gave to Murphy was a strange flower sachet to treat autism, but what he gave to Elena and Ava was not!
