Murphy operates in an orderly manner. She is calm on the surface and extremely calm in her operations without making any mistakes. However, her heart is still slightly turbulent...
Because she knew deeply that if she went to another hospital, whether it was a large hospital or a small clinic, with her qualifications as a low-year resident doctor who had just graduated with a doctorate in medicine, even if she was a genius doctor, California would It is impossible for the youngest MD at UCLA to perform such a difficult surgery!
Only here with Zhou Qiao can I enjoy the treatment like a "proud daughter of heaven" and a "princess"!
With this "favor of knowing others," "favor of teaching," and "favor of pampering," Murphy felt... his heart was about to melt!
The majestic iceberg deep in her heart has long been missing a corner, and the gap is slowly widening!
Zhou Qiao was watching while giving instructions and explanations. Suddenly, a golden virtual panel popped up in his mind:
[Murphy's favorability +3, Murphy's current favorability: 85! 】
Zhou Qiao: "..."
I glanced at Murphy secretly and saw that she was very attentive and not distracted.
…
During the entire operation, Zhou Qiao, as an assistant, took the initiative to help when needed. At the same time, as a mentor, he also explained some practical skills, precautions, possible accidents and corresponding preventive measures.
For example, keep a certain distance between the speculum and the field of view, and try to avoid staining the lens with blood. Once stained, it must be taken out and cleaned immediately.
When scraping a tumor with a small curette, how to judge whether the curettage is complete?
How to deal with sudden situations such as subarachnoid hemorrhage, nasopharyngeal bleeding, localized infection of nasal mucosa, constriction of external nostrils, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, etc...
…
After about forty minutes, the tumor was successfully removed.
Under the guidance of Zhou Qiao, Murphy used gauze soaked in vasoconstrictor to compress and stop the bleeding. After checking that there was no active bleeding, he used gelatin sponge and medical glue to pack the sphenoid sinus.
Take out the endoscope and speculum, fill the nasal cavity with Vaseline gauze, and straighten the nasal septum.
This packing can be removed after 48 hours.
Christie also needs to be hospitalized at the Iris Clinic for a few days to observe her subsequent recovery before being discharged as appropriate.
Zhou Qiao expects to earn at least US$70,000 from this deal, and Christie's out-of-pocket expenses will not exceed US$20,000.
Because everyone has different insurance configurations, the reimbursement ratio is different. Christie needs to pay about 20% out of pocket. Like the Clarks, whose monthly family premiums are more expensive, they only need to pay about 4% for this serious illness.
Ava told Christie that if she chose to pay in cash, she could get a 30% discount. Of course, there is a 30% discount on the self-paid part.
This is naturally illegal, so the clinic requires cash payment.
Usually, the efficiency of large hospitals in the United States is relatively low. There are often two bills sent to patients after seeing a doctor, one from the large hospital and one from the doctor! There may be more than one doctor.
For example, if you have a major surgery and the surgeon, rehabilitation therapist, anesthesiologist, and psychiatrist... all come to provide services, then everyone will send you a bill.
Moreover, you don’t know the price beforehand. When you get the bill, you will feel like crying when you look at a series of “sky-high prices”.
The medical insurance in the United States is a bill-sharing system between hospitals and doctors, and many doctors are not actually affiliated with hospitals.
But there is also an advantage, that is, you don’t have to take out the money immediately.
As for the billing time, it can range from the next day to a month. It mainly depends on the efficiency of the relevant hospitals and doctors.
Not only is the billing efficiency of large hospitals low, but the efficiency of issuing test reports is also low. Blood test results usually have to wait until the next day.
Zhou Qiao's clinic is a small clinic, and the Chinese are impatient, so bills can be issued at any time.
Collect money, why are you waiting? Pay immediately, preferably in advance, the sooner the better!
Of course, this is what I think in my heart. In fact, I will not rush the customer. At most, I can only give tactful reminders or suggestions. The customer's consent will also be sought when issuing bills and payment methods.
Christy's family were depressed and hopeless, believing something was going to be wrong with Christy.
"Why is it so difficult to communicate with this daughter? It's like she was born in vain!" Her mother was still fuming at home, feeling that Christie had not listened to her since she was a child. It was so hateful!
As a result, when Felipe came home, he stopped by and told them that Christie's surgery had been completed and it was successful and smooth. His recovery was also very good. His family were stunned and couldn't believe it!
"This, is it over?"
"Are we overthinking it?"
"Are we really in trouble?"
While Christie was in the hospital, her parents and aunt also came to visit her. However, Christie was neither salty nor cool with them, and the relationship between them was very subtle.
Because her family members never expressed any concern, Christie almost spent all her savings and owed some credit cards, and her family and relatives did not say anything about taking the initiative to support her.
What's the use of just looking at it, you have to get money!
On the contrary, it was when Taylor and Felipe arrived that Christie's face showed a smile. Because, despite his financial constraints, Taylor enthusiastically gave her a thousand dollars.
This is a series about family members not being as good as outsiders.
Elena saw everything, and when changing her infusion bag, she couldn't help but joke, saying that Christie had found her right husband!
Christie just smiled. In fact, she was also a little moved and a little moved by Felipe and Taylor, but she was still hesitant. After all, Felipe is so fat, has not completely lost weight, and has no job. All we can do is wait and see.
As for the thousand dollars, she will return it to Taylor when she has money.
The clinic has finally hired someone.
She is an aunt in her late fifties and a senior attending doctor who previously worked at the Red-billed Ou Clinic.
After the Hong-billed Ou Clinic closed down, she planned to go it alone and open her own clinic.
However, it turns out that not everyone is suitable to open a clinic and become a partner.
After only a few days of doing this, the aunt felt that the three-minute heat was too troublesome and it would be easier to find a clinic to work, so she came to Iris Clinic because of its reputation.
First of all, Iris Clinic is currently quite famous and powerful. It is well-known in the surrounding communities and can even often perform surgeries above level 3, which is impossible for ordinary small clinics!
Secondly, Iris Clinic is short of people!
In fact, Zhou Qiao is very demanding. After the business of his clinic improved, doctors and nurses who used to work in the clinic also asked to come back, but Zhou Qiao rejected them all!
You had to run away when times were tough, but now that business is good, do you want to come back? Where is such a good thing!
Therefore, Zhou Qiao didn't want any of them.
It is worth mentioning that most of those people went to the Red-billed Gull Clinic.
