That night, Grandpa Murphy stayed at the Iris Clinic, and Grandma Murphy, her mother, and Murphy were all taking care of him in the clinic.
Zhou Qiao asked them not to go back at night. There are no temporarily hospitalized patients in the clinic, and there are enough beds.
Even if the wards on the second floor are full, you can still sleep on a few beds set up on the first floor.
At the same time, Zhou Qiao was also vaguely worried about this family. They were either elderly or women. Strictly speaking, there were two sick people.
Grandpa Murphy is naturally sick, and the other one is naturally little Murphy.
She has been autistic for so many years and has always had defects.
Zhou Qiao originally wanted to improve the security of the clinic, such as hiring a few bodyguards, but now that Ariel and the others have opened a laundry not far next door, this cost is saved.
If someone with blind eyes dares to come to your door, Ariel and the others will use their submachine guns to teach them how to behave!
Now the clinic’s sheets, quilt covers, and all kinds of laundry are delivered to Ariel’s store.
It can be regarded as taking care of their business, but in fact, this laundry does not care about business.
What shocked Murphy's mother was that on the second day after the operation, Grandpa Murphy got out of bed and moved around!
Zhou Qiao said that he will be discharged after a day or two of observation. It is expected that he will not need radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and will only need regular review.
"In the first year after surgery, we will review every 1 to 3 months, in the second and third years we will review every 3 to 6 months, and after 3 years we will review every year. Well, that's it!"
Murphy’s mother: “…”
Is it really a tumor? Is it okay to just make a fuss like this?
I came here specifically to quarrel with the vice president and quit my job! She also plans to get divorced and return to San Francisco to spend the rest of her life with her parents!
You told me that this is it...? Oh my god~
…
After Murphy's mother was shocked, she still accepted it! After all, this is a very good result!
Murphy's mother looked at Zhou Qiao again, with only one thought in her mind, and that was - a good son-in-law!
The more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes him, even in the United States.
Murphy's mother felt that with such a good son-in-law, her daughter must seize the opportunity!
Two days later, Grandpa Murphy was discharged from the hospital successfully! Seeing that her old father was in good spirits, Murphy's mother was relieved. She returned to Los Angeles to apply for a divorce. Once things were settled there, she would return to San Francisco and plan to find a job in the Bay Area.
Although the security here was not good at night, after staying there for a few days, Murphy's mother immediately discovered that it was pretty good during the day.
Anyway, the United States is like this. It is impossible to say that it is absolutely safe.
Los Angeles is not necessarily much better than San Francisco.
Grandpa Murphy’s disease may be relatively unfamiliar to everyone. It is not as “well-known” as lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, gastric cancer, etc.
Neuroendocrine tumors? What the hell is it?
In fact, the main reason is that this tumor can grow in various places in the human body, and some of them secrete different hormones. Therefore, the clinical manifestations can be described as "thousands of people have different faces", and it is easy to be confused with other diseases.
If the tumor occurs in the lungs, it may manifest as cough, bloody sputum, shortness of breath, etc.; if it occurs in the digestive tract, it may manifest as abdominal distension, diarrhea, blood in the stool, etc. However, most neuroendocrine tumors may not have any symptoms in the early stages until the patient appears. When symptoms of compression occur, the tumor often grows very large, delaying the best treatment time.
Early detection and early treatment are very important for tumors.
The exact cause of this disease is still unclear, and the age range of its onset is very wide, ranging from elderly people in their 80s and 90s to teenagers and young adults.
Among them, G1 and G2 type neuroendocrine tumors have a better prognosis after scientific treatment, but if it is G3 type, the treatment will be more complicated and the prognosis will be relatively poor.
Fortunately, Grandpa Murphy is only a G2 type, and he was discovered very early!
…
Time flies by, and it’s the end of September, and Iris Clinic’s property tax bill is finally here!
A total of US$117,800!
There are two deadlines for payment. One is before November. If you pay after December 10, there will be a 10% penalty. The second is the deadline in April of the following year. If it exceeds April 10, there will also be a 10% penalty.
Zhou Qiao's current clinic business is very good, so he is too lazy to delay and paid the bill on the third day after receiving it! Money is so willful!
He counted the clinic's cash flow and found that after paying property taxes and paying various bills from the testing center and community hospital, he still had a total of US$160,000!
If you continue like this, you can easily earn millions a year! Well, it’s not easy either. It’s quite busy and tiring.
He set aside some money to buy some equipment, such as surgical microscopes and small portable X-rays. As for other equipment such as small mobile CT and MRI, there was no need to buy these and he couldn't afford them for the time being. The nearby commercial testing center could Provide very good supporting services.
At the end of September and the beginning of October, there is a very important holiday for the Chinese, that is National Day.
The United States also has a National Day, which is July 4th, but Zhou Qiao definitely feels more at home on October 1st!
It’s been engraved in my bones since childhood!
There are many Chinese in San Francisco, especially Chinatown, which held a very grand celebration ceremony, with red flags waving, gongs and drums roaring, dragons and lions dancing, the national flag raised, the national anthem played, and a military parade played.
On such an important holiday, Zhou Qiao naturally gave the clinic a day off.
Because of his personality, Murphy doesn't like lively situations.
So she went home to stay with her grandparents. As for her mother, she got the divorce quickly and lightning fast, returned to San Francisco, and was already working in a large factory in the Bay Area.
Driving back and forth every day, the commute time is just over an hour.
Zhou Qiao took Elena and Ava out for fun and also watched the military parade on a big screen in Chinatown.
It is worth mentioning that many foreigners also watch it with gusto.
They just want to see it as a novelty, because the United States basically does not engage in this kind of thing. The main thing is that the United States is engaged in actual combat everywhere, including in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, etc., and has participated in more than 40 wars since 1991. With 11 aircraft carriers deployed around the world, there is no need to show off its muscles through military parades.
In addition, the United States is a federal country, and each state is equivalent to the vassal state in ancient China, and there is no unified centralized power.
If he were in China, Zhou Qiao would have at least three days off, but abroad, he would only have a symbolic day off.
After all, it is your own clinic. If it closes down, all you will lose is your own money!
He bought some small gifts as National Day gifts for the clients who came to see the doctor.
I also called my family. I originally suggested that my parents come over to have some fun, but the old parents were unwilling to cross the ocean, saying that the country was still stable. Watching the news, San Francisco biubiubiu~ every night, they are timid and dare not come here.
In fact, Zhou Qiao also biubiubiu every night~
"Son, you must pay attention to safety! Try not to go out at night!" The old father was naturally very worried.
Zhou Qiao smiled and comforted: "Aren't I fine here? Don't worry!"
When he returned to China, he really couldn't make so much money, even with the system.
In addition to giving bonuses to Elena, Ava and Murphy, they also gave their families fifteen thousand dollars, which is equivalent to more than one hundred and eighty thousand soft girl coins. The old father was shocked after receiving the money!
