About an hour later, a seven-seater MPV Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle from the government department appeared at the entrance of Iris Clinic.
A staff member came down to welcome Zhou Qiao and the others into the car. The space of the business car was large enough to fit the suitcases of four people.
Seeing several people getting into the car, Rachel and Park Xiuzhu were envious.
Park Xiuzhu couldn't help but said to Rachel: "The boss is so awesome that the governor sent a special plane and car to pick him up. With this order, the clinic can make a lot of money!"
Rachel curled her lips slightly and said: "You are still too short-sighted. Not only will he make a lot of money, the boss will become famous this time! By then, his reputation will be spread throughout California and even the United States."
"Oh, that's right. How could the media not report such an important thing?" Park Xiuzhu blinked, becoming even more optimistic about the future of the clinic!
In the past, the boss was only slightly famous in San Francisco. This time, he is finally going beyond San Francisco to the entire state and even the United States!
They had also watched the news about the fires in Hawaii and knew that there were many burn patients, so I'm afraid they would all come here!
Of course, the premise is that the boss battle is a success!
Park Xiuzhu secretly wished her boss a great success! Now that the clinic is better, she can also benefit.
A Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle took Zhou Qiao and the others to the airport, where the private plane sent by Governor Hulk had been waiting for a long time.
Elena and Ava were very excited. They had never flown before, especially since this was their first time flying on a luxuriously decorated private jet.
Since they can remember, apart from following Zhou Qiao to Lake Tahoe for skiing, they have never even left the Bay Area.
Fortunately, although the two of them were excited, they did not act too exaggerated, lest they be laughed at and called bumpkins!
After landing at Los Angeles Airport, a special car took them to the UCLA Medical Center.
Murphy had a cold expression along the way, but he was actually quite emotional.
After she graduated from elementary school, she followed her mother to Los Angeles, where she studied in junior high school, high school, and college. She even interviewed at this medical center, but unfortunately she was rejected. It's like revisiting the old place.
The governor came to greet him in person, and in addition, Professor George, the dean of the medical center, Professor Seth, director of the burn department, and Professor Eric Parsont also followed.
Everyone was quite surprised to see Zhou Qiao so young, except of course Professor Pasent. He had already dealt with Zhou Qiao.
Zhou Qiao exchanged greetings with the governor and others, while Murphy came to Professor Parsont and called softly: "Teacher."
Professor Parsont nodded and said with a smile: "Welcome back!"
He still felt a little guilty for this student. He originally wanted to get her to this medical center and train her into a key player in the future. However, he messed up during the interview and his colleagues objected too much.
Murphy had a cold temperament and didn't talk much. After saying hello, he followed Zhou Qiao again.
Professor Parsent: "..." He felt very uncomfortable in his heart. Although he was not Murphy's old father, he could not help but feel that a pot of good flowers he had raised was taken away by someone else. Feel.
He admired Murphy's medical talent very much. A 19-year-old doctor of medicine, among the many students he has taught, he is the youngest and the one with the best qualifications.
As for the twin beauties, they naturally stayed with Zhou Qiao and attracted the attention of many people present.
Some people laughed secretly in their hearts, saying that this Dr. Zhou is really a romantic person. He throws knives and brings three beauties with him.
Although they are technically nurses and assistants, who knows the actual relationship?
Little did they know, these people guessed it right!
After the greetings, Zhou Qiao and the others came to a conference room, where Seth Michaels, director of the burn department, gave a lecture and introduced Veronica's condition to Zhou Qiao and the others.
The other party was a professional, and his introduction was more detailed than Governor Hulk's, and the difficulty of the patient's condition was also clearer.
"How is it, Dr. Zhou, what do you think?" Director Seth asked.
Zhou Qiao thought for a moment and then said: "With Veronica's current condition, I can carry out the first operation here, and I will need to borrow the operating room of your department."
"This is no problem. We can arrange it at any time." Director Seth raised his eyebrows and said he was so confident? He also thought that Zhou Qiao would feel embarrassed and bring up some difficulties and risks of surgery to pave the way for future surgery failures.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Qiao said nothing.
"I want to go to the ward and check Veronica's condition up close. Is that okay?" Zhou Qiao asked again, looking at everyone.
Director Seth looked at Dean George and Governor Hulk. Dean George looked at Governor Hulk.
In fact, Governor Hulk was already a little impatient, so he stood up immediately, and immediately, a group of people took them outside the ward.
Since it is a critical ward for patients in the burn department and the cleanliness level is relatively high, only Director Seth and Zhou Qiao went in.
Others were waiting in the hallway.
After changing into protective clothing, Zhou Qiao came to Veronica's side.
The bed she slept on was not an ordinary hospital bed, but a turning care bed specially developed for patients with large-area burns. It can effectively assist turning over, reduce pressure sores and ulcers, fully expose the wound, and promote drying and scabbing of the burn wound. In addition, there are Helps medical staff observe wounds, debridement and dressing changes.
However, even with this special hospital bed, Veronica is in extreme pain. She usually turns over every three hours, and her heart rate, breathing, etc. are measured before and after turning over. When turning over, her wound will inevitably be involved, causing unbearable pain.
In addition, after being burned like this, Veronica would definitely not be able to take care of herself and would have to be helped by a nurse every time, which was extremely embarrassing. But over time, I got used to it. The level of shame is greatly reduced.
When Veronica saw the doctor come in, she didn't bother to pay attention, still closing her eyes and feeling depressed.
"Director Seth, can I remove the gauze on her head and see the damage to her facial skin?" Zhou Qiao asked.
Director Seth nodded and said: "Of course, Dr. Zhou. However, the patient will be in great pain during the removal. Do you need to call a nurse to help?"
Veronica was shocked and thought, could this be the Dr. Zhou that Talia mentioned? Coming here so soon?
She quickly opened her eyes to see what Zhou Qiao looked like, but Dr. Zhou was "fully armed" and she couldn't see his face at all, but her voice felt very young, and she had a very magnetic voice that was different from her native people.
Zhou Qiao said: "No, I can do it myself."
Veronica closed her eyes in pain, and she whispered softly: "Dr. Zhou, please be gentle."
Every dressing change is a torture. Although it was not a dressing change now, the feeling of removing the gauze... Before it was removed, she couldn't help but shiver, and then her body became more painful.
"Don't worry, Veronica, I'm just uncovering a small area and evaluating it." Zhou Qiao said warmly.
Then, he took action!
About five minutes later, Zhou Qiao and Director Seth left, came outside, and said to Governor Hulk and Dean George: "Veronica is in good condition and suitable for surgery. If possible, I plan to do it at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. The operation officially begins.”
"No problem. If you need anything, you can communicate with Director Seth. If we can cooperate, we will try our best to cooperate." Dean George said.
Zhou Qiao: "Okay, let's go to the conference room now. I will introduce my surgical plan to everyone. If you have any suggestions, you can also make them."
…
In the evening, Governor Hulk treated Zhou Qiao and the others to a simple working meal, one steak and fruit salad per person. It was an excellent snowflake steak, with tender and delicious meat, rich juice and overflowing aroma.
Zhou Qiao thought to himself that the governor was too polite, saying it was a simple work meal, but ended up with such a top-notch steak.
As for the red wine to go with the meal, Zhou Qiao declined, saying that he was going to have surgery tomorrow and drinking would affect the operation, so a glass of freshly squeezed juice would suffice.
After saying this, Governor Hulk gave up. He just smiled and said that he still has some fine wines in his collection, and he can give a few bottles to Dr. Zhou after the operation.
Zhou Qiao expressed his gratitude.
Afterwards, Governor Hulk arranged for them to stay in the most luxurious hotel in Los Angeles. One deluxe double room for one person.
But obviously, two more were opened.
Elena and Ava don’t need it at all!
At the same time, outside media are still reporting on the Hawaii fires. Here in California, the media will inevitably mention that the governor’s wife and daughters, especially the governor’s beautiful daughter Veronica, were severely burned.
After Zhou Qiao and the others came over, the gossip spread like wildfire. Some media wrote an article saying that the governor invited famous doctors from San Francisco to perform skin grafting and plastic surgery on the little princess Veronica.
I don’t know where they secretly took the photos, but also released a long shot of Zhou Qiao and the others dragging their suitcases into the UCLA Medical Center. It was vaguely visible that Mr. Governor and Dean George came out to greet them in person.
The news also said that little princess Veronica's surgery will be performed at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning!
For a time, many people commented.
The previous plastic surgeon, Dr. Justin, accidentally saw the news and couldn't sit still!
Thanks to "luweigundam" for the tip.
