I run a clinic in the United States

Chapter 270

Sequoia Hospital.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, although there was thick smoke from the chemical factory in the distance, it could no longer block the rising golden light of the morning sun.

When Zhou Qiao came out of the operating room, he was still energetic and felt a sense of accomplishment even after working all night.

He later performed almost all of the more than ten limb reattachments here. The last leg reattachment was finally completed within almost 12 hours after the injured person had his leg broken.

This time is very meaningful, because after this time, the injured person loses most of his limb activity. Even he will be in trouble if he does not use the system to exchange for the secret medicine.

Fortunately, within this time, the survival rate will be very high based on his current surgical skills.With professional and careful follow-up care, it won't be a big problem.

In fact, each of the opponent's toes can be as flexible as before the injury, without stiffness or loss of consciousness.

"Dr. Zhou, thank you for your hard work! Thank you very much for your help!" When President Joachim Langley saw Zhou Qiao coming out, he immediately went up to him excitedly, shook hands with Zhou Qiao, and then hugged her tightly. .

Zhou Qiao was actually not used to being hugged by men, but he still smiled politely and said: "It should be, it should be, doctors are kind. When something like this happens, it is righteous to help."

Dean Joachim Langley tried his best to smile like a spring breeze and said: "Dr. Zhou, I have a presumptuous request. I wonder if you will agree to it?"

"Just say it!" Zhou Qiao said with a smile.

Then, Dean Joachim Langley expressed his intention, saying that he wanted to keep him here for a few more days to give guidance and training to everyone. Everyone admired his superb medical skills.

Zhou Qiao pondered for a moment and then said, "I have to ask Luo Ya's opinion on this."

After all, he came here to prepare for pregnancy and was busy with first aid. Maybe Luo Ya wanted to go somewhere else to relax?Then he has to go with him.

Just like last night, he didn't know whether it was successful or not.To prepare for pregnancy, at least take a few more shots.

He planned to stay with Luo Ya until he confirmed that she was pregnant and then left!
You have to be responsible when doing things, and this kind of thing must be included!Otherwise, Luo Ya would have thought that she was not good enough!
Dean Joachim Langley was overjoyed and said immediately: "Boss, she agreed. She said that as long as Dr. Zhou is willing, she has no objection."

"Okay, as for how long we'll stay, we'll see when the time comes." Zhou Qiao smiled slightly.

Then, Zhou Qiao asked where Loya was, and Dean Joachim Langley enthusiastically took him there himself.

After bringing Zhou Qiao to the chairman's office, Dean Joachim Langley left very wisely and closed the office door.

Inside, a man and a woman hugged each other tenderly.

Zhou Qiao kissed Luo Ya's forehead and said apologetically: "This happened at the critical moment yesterday. How about we continue?"

"Stop it," Luo Ya refused and scolded with a smile, "You think you are a bull. Even if you are a bull, you can't not cherish yourself so much. You have stayed up all night working, and it will be too much for your body to do it again."

"Besides, the quality of the stuff at this time is not good either."

Zhou Qiao thought about it, yes, everyone has come over anyway, and they will stay for a while. Don't be in a hurry, the days are long.

"Are you hungry? I'll take you to have a meal, and then take a lunch break. You don't have to worry too much about hospital matters. Just let them do what they can do. If you really can't handle it, you can take action." Luo Ya was actually reluctant to let Zhou Qiao work too hard.

Besides, she spent money to build a hospital and hired so many medical staff, all of whom were paid.How can you trouble Zhou Qiao with everything?
Immediately, the two went to the restaurant. In a small booth, Zhou Qiao devoured steak, drank juice, tuna, Maine lobster, vegetable salad, soft bread, caviar, foie gras, and truffles. Wait, last night I was so beautiful and busy fighting, but actually I didn’t have much to eat for dinner.I'm really hungry at this time.

After almost eating, the two of them exchanged glasses of wine with juice instead of wine.Let the staff who pass by casually admire it.

Just after finishing the glass of "wine", Luo Ya's phone rang.It was Dean Joachim Langley calling.

"What's the matter?" Loya asked.

"Boss, it's like this..." Dean Joachim Langley said embarrassedly.

"Okay, Joe and I will go over now." Luo Ya sighed helplessly.

"Okay, okay, I'll wait for you at the door of the rescue hall." Dean Joachim Langley said with great gratitude.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Qiao asked after Luo Ya hung up the phone.

Luo Ya said: "There is a patient who can't stop bleeding and his condition is a bit complicated. I would like to ask you to come for a consultation. Alas, the level of these guys is really..."

Zhou Qiao smiled and said: "Their level is actually pretty good, but of course they can't compare with me."

"Haha, I know you are the best!"

After all, it was her own hospital, so Luo Ya couldn't ignore it. She immediately pulled Zhou Qiao and walked quickly towards the emergency room with him.

After arriving, Dean Joachim Langley said to Loya and Zhou Qiao very apologetically: "Boss, Dr. Zhou has been busy all night, so he shouldn't bother him anymore, but his condition is urgent..."

Zhou Qiao waved his hand and said, "Stop talking, let's go quickly."

"Thank you, thank you." Dean Joachim Langley immediately bowed slightly to Luo Ya, and then led Zhou Qiao in.

As for Luo Ya, she was not a professional and couldn't really help, so she returned to the chairman's office and continued to sit in the center and strategize.

After hearing the news, the governor of Texas also flew over on a special plane to inspect the situation.

After the governor arrived, he learned about the disaster and heard that Loya was also here. He also organized a rescue team and provided a large amount of medical assistance. He couldn't help but praise him, and then called Loya and said he would come to her. Visit this hospital.

Luo Ya naturally welcomes it.The governor came to inspect the work, and there were many reporters and media accompanying him. It was a very good opportunity to show his face.

Although she will run for governor in the future, there is no conflict with the current governor, because this governor has served two consecutive terms. He once revealed in public that he will no longer participate in the election in three years and plans to take his wife to travel around the world. world and enjoy life.

After all, for some older people who are not very ambitious, enjoying the rest of their lives is also very important.

Zhou Qiao followed Dean Joachim Langre to the bedside of the critical patient to listen to the condition report.

The medical staff present were full of expectations, hoping that Zhou Qiao could help solve the problem.After all, although Zhou Qiao has only been here for less than a day, his strength has been truly "beaten".

For the surgeries he has performed, the patient's follow-up results have been quite good.The patient whose head was penetrated by steel bars later regained consciousness twice. Although each time was short-lived, each lasted longer than the last.

The last time he woke up was about an hour ago. He lasted for about 2 minutes and then fell into a deep sleep again.In those 2 minutes, the patient could even weakly tell his name and how he was injured at that time.

When the patient learned that Zhou Qiao had saved him, he was very grateful and asked the nurse to convey the message to him.

Zhou Qiao has been busy and has not checked the house yet.But other medical staff took over later.

"Doctor Zhou, the condition of this injured person is this..."

The injured was a middle-aged female worker. When she was brought by the ambulance, she suffered an open fracture of the pelvis, multiple fractures of the right lower limb, a ruptured abdominal wall, prolapsed intestines, and large areas of skin avulsion on the thighs, calves, and right abdomen. In addition, there were There were multiple burns and burns, and there were many chemical contaminants on the wounds, showing signs of poisoning.

Although there were medical staff in the rescue team, the situation at the scene was critical and there was no time to deal with it too much. Therefore, when it was delivered, some muscles and bones were exposed and could be seen clearly.At that time, Zhou Qiao was busy dealing with the patient whose head was penetrated by a steel bar. After coming out, he went to reattach the severed limb.This tragic female worker was rescued by several other doctors from Sequoia Hospital who worked together.

At that time, the patient's entire lower limbs and right lower abdomen were bloody.

But surprisingly, she remained conscious despite such serious injuries.

This is a "stress" awakening, and the patient's heart rate is as high as 124 beats/minute.

After being sent here, the rescue team bandaged her, gave her fluids and blood transfusions, and then conducted an emergency whole-body CT scan while closely observing her vital signs.

Due to the massive bleeding, his vital signs were extremely unstable, so emergency surgery was subsequently performed.

Because the condition was so serious, the patient's pelvis was broken and he continued to bleed. In addition, the skin on the right lower limb and lower abdomen was completely torn off, and blood spurted out like a fountain. The doctor opened 4 intravenous channels at that time, which is generally the most It's enough to open Route 2.

Vast amounts of pressurizing drugs and blood were injected to maintain her blood pressure and heartbeat.

At the same time, the rest of the medical staff were also quickly checking the wounds, closing them, and bandaging them... A total of five or six medical staff were busy.

After a fierce operation, finally, it was temporarily solved, and then he was sent to the ICU for close observation.

Unfortunately, despite a large dose of blood transfusion, the patient's vital signs were still extremely unstable.

It is worth mentioning that due to the large number of wounded in a short period of time, almost half of whom needed blood transfusions, the hospital’s blood inventory was simply not enough. Director Joachim Langrei urgently contacted the largest blood center in Houston to apply for emergency distribution. This barely makes up for it.

The United States has an advanced blood distribution system that can conduct emergency deployment across the United States and deliver it directly to the patient's bedside in blood-using hospitals.Some can even be delivered by drone.

In addition, in terms of blood source, it is sufficient in most cases.

For example, in southern Texas and some cities close to Mexico, there are a large number of plasma donation centers. If you sell blood, a single person can earn nearly a thousand US dollars a month.

The people who came to "donate" blood were naturally neighbors, Spanish-speaking Mexicans.

If you want to become a plasma donor, you need to fill in a lot of information when registering for the first time, but they are basically simple health issues. After that, you become an "old customer", and each time you donate, it becomes simple and can be done in just over an hour. Finish.

Many Mexicans, even children, who are living in difficult circumstances will come and line up to donate blood.

In order to make it easier for Mexicans to sell plasma across the border, the plasma company also provides bus pick-up and drop-off services for Mexicans, and there is also a Spanish translator on the bus who is responsible for communication.

Although U.S. immigration law has clearly stated that people holding temporary visas are prohibited from living or engaging in paid work in the United States. Violation of the regulations may result in penalties or even confiscation of visas. However, there is still an endless stream of Mexicans coming to the United States every week." Donate blood”.

Regulations are regulations, and sometimes they are just decorations in the face of interests.

A reporter once interviewed a U.S. Customs and Border Administration staff member who claimed that they were following the rules and that as long as the transit personnel had a reason to return to Mexico, such as having a home and a life in Mexico, they could enter the United States.

Plasma companies will even offer tricks to hide the truth from blood sellers. They ask plasma sellers not to reveal their true purpose to customs officers. Although customs officers may be "well aware", they still have to do superficial work. Yes, you can find other excuses: going to your aunt's house, going to your cousin's house, or going shopping, etc.

This seriously injured female worker survived thanks to the abundant blood bank.

However, her biggest problem was not that she had insufficient blood sources, but that she lacked coagulation factors.

There were many bleeding parts inside her body that could not self-coagulate.

Follow-up monitoring results showed that the female worker's hemoglobin level was only 35g/L (normal 113-151 g/L), and this value continued to decline.

The blood pressure, maintained by vasopressors, was still only 88/47mmHg.

The situation was still very dangerous. The emergency team in charge of this patient really had no clue, so they applied to the director to see if they could bring in Dr. Zhou, a top celebrity.

So, Dean Joachim Langley had no choice but to bite the bullet and call his boss Loya.

Zhou Qiao thought for three seconds and said: "The patient has delayed bleeding, and her blood cannot self-coagulate. At this time, she needs a second operation and another abdominal exploration. If the bleeding point cannot be found to stop the bleeding, no matter how much blood is transfused, No blood can save this patient!"

The other medical staff were silent. They also knew that, however, it was very difficult to investigate one by one with so many injuries.

Not only is it difficult to diagnose, but patients are also facing life threats at any time and may die at any time, and no one is sure.

It may be broken in the next second. How to check?If it weren't for Zhou Qiao's presence, they would all want to give up, or give it a try, treat a dead horse as a living horse, and gamble on their luck.

"Dean Joachim Langre, please arrange the surgery immediately, I will do it myself!" Zhou Qiao thought for a moment, forget it, it's better for those who can do more work.Ask other doctors to explore. If they can't find it after a long time, the patient may die on the operating table.

Preparations for the second surgery began immediately.

Soon, Zhou Qiao was fully armed and standing in front of the operating table.

The hemoglobin of the female worker in front of her dropped sharply again, almost to an undetectable level.

Low hemoglobin means insufficient oxygen supply, heart failure, and immediate risk of death.

The medical staff did not dare to express their anger and tried their best to cooperate with Zhou Qiao's actions.

The anesthesiologist followed Zhou Qiao's instructions and used comprehensive monitoring methods and a large number of drugs to ensure the stability of the patient's vital signs during the operation.

Zhou Qiao took action and quickly found the first bleeding point.

Under the retroperitoneum and skin flap, the place where the pelvic fracture broke was probably not handled well by the emergency surgery at the time, and bleeding continued.

Zhou Qiao immediately applied pressure bandage...

Then, continue to explore...

The bleeding holes were found one by one and the bleeding was stopped.

There are actually five places, which is simply shocking!
In just over twenty minutes, with god-like speed, and without even having time to use up much of the blood preparation, the operation was successfully completed.

The medical staff involved in the operation: "..." were dumbfounded.

Many medical staff couldn't help but give two thumbs up at the same time to express their admiration for Dr. Zhou.

One nurse thought to herself, if it weren't for the boss's man, I would have sacrificed myself!

The doctor from the blood transfusion department made statistics and found that the female worker had lost almost 9700 milliliters of blood, which was equivalent to replacing all the blood in her body about twice. In such a dangerous situation, Zhou Qiao still rescued her from death. return.It’s really amazing!

After Zhou Qiao's surgery, the patient's condition was finally stabilized!However, her injuries were too serious, and she would have to stay in the intensive care unit for at least half a month and receive a series of supportive treatments such as anti-infection, blood transfusions, and nutrition.

Since Joya Biomedical Group has a large number of secret medicines, these patients do not need to worry too much about burns, skin grafts, scars and other problems.
