I run a clinic in the United States

Chapter 389 Rare Disease Diagnosis and Treatment Center “Listed”

Future Medical Devices Co., Ltd. is now in full swing and has selected a new location in Silicon Valley to build a new factory.

In the future, the R&D team, sales team, etc. will all be relocated there.

On the day when the factory broke ground, Zhou Qiao was invited to dig the first spade. This was a very ceremonial event, as important as the "ribbon-cutting" of the opening after completion.

Although Zhou Qiao's company currently has more than 300 employees, it is still "small" compared to the world's giants. Therefore, the groundbreaking ceremony was relatively simple and no dignitaries were invited to attend.

If he is willing, he can also invite Governor Hulk and some high-society people in California to show up, and even invite some news media to report on it.

However, the new factory is really not particularly big. The first phase investment is only 20 million US dollars, which is a bit "unaffordable", so we "keep everything simple".

Several girls from the Iris Group and some artists from Iris Media headed by Talia also came to support them.

Fang Yuanyuan and Chu Xuan came over to perform a lion dance to add color to the groundbreaking of the new factory.

Qiaoya Biological Group also sent senior officials to congratulate and give them big gifts.

The R&D team members in the conference room were stunned at first, and then they were surprised and began to express their opinions. All of a sudden, various ideas sprouted, and the discussion was extremely intense.

A few female employees laughed even more exaggeratedly, giggling and making their flowers tremble. Obviously, I often read it.

Zhou Qiao looked around at everyone. There were many masters and doctors here, and even some scientific research madmen, the kind who seldom entertained themselves. Zhou Qiao asked these people: "Have you ever played VR games? If not, have you seen 3D movies?"

Everyone admired and gave thumbs up.

This is not a "bad habit" that Zhou Qiao brought over from China. Groundbreaking ceremonies, groundbreaking ceremonies, and ribbon-cutting ceremonies are themselves quite popular in the United States.

Zhou Qiao smiled heartily and said, "You can use 3D technology or VR technology in the product development of our medical devices, such as 3D microscopes."

CEO Jess Shepard was also with us throughout the whole process. He was very impressed and said to himself that the boss is the boss. I don’t know how he came up with this idea.

At this time, there were already many customers waiting for the official opening at the door. No one expected that it would be a while before the official opening. As a result, the boss's 10-year-old daughter ran out of the store with a pug and accidentally broke it. got this ribbon.

This meeting lasted more than two hours longer than expected. By the time it was almost time to get off work, everyone was still in high spirits and still had something to say.

“I like playing VR games the most, it’s so exciting.”

There is no novelty and no practicality. The products developed are useless and not very competitive in the market.

After Boss Zhou thought about it for a moment, he showed his white teeth and said with a smile: "Actually, I happened to have an idea recently. Speaking of it can be considered as a way to attract others."

Even if Zhou Qiao doesn't say anything, they will take the initiative to help Boss Zhou smooth things over.

Many times, creativity is important, especially R&D.

Someone joked and said: "You are playing an adult version of VR games, right?"

The team members naturally admire Zhou Qiao extremely. If nothing else, the snake-shaped minimally invasive surgical robot has become the company's "top" product in one fell swoop, and orders are easily received.

Some members nodded and said, "I've really seen it."

Because there are several versions, the specific origin cannot be verified.

When the incident came out, people started talking a lot, thinking that the little daughter breaking the ribbon was a good sign, so when new stores opened later, they all followed suit, and then gradually evolved into today's "ribbon-cutting" ceremony.

Another theory is that the shipbuilding industry in Western Europe was developed in the past, both in the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. Every time a new ship was launched, it was a grand event, attracting countless spectators.

Their orders can only be pushed back. After all, when selling something, it must be sold to outsiders first, followed by those big customers outside.

It’s just the medical field that requires more refinement and precision. There can be no slight error, otherwise, the patient's life safety will be threatened.

The idiom "holding bricks and attracting jade" is strangely difficult to express in English. Fortunately, Zhou Qiao used a small metaphor to express his meaning.

"Boss, you are really amazing."

Suddenly, the team members in the conference room became energetic, sat upright, and listened carefully to the ideas of the genius boss Zhou.

Everyone just laughed.

Customers waiting outside mistakenly thought it was open and immediately rushed in. It's a good start and business is booming.

A word to awaken the dreamer.

When it comes to all kinds of superstitions and formalism (sense of ritual), the United States is also the best, no weaker than China.

Ribbon-cutting, for example, originated in Western Europe or the United States.

After the new boat was ready for the launching ceremony, the host cut the rope and allowed the audience to visit. Later, the rope was changed into a beautiful ribbon, so there was a saying of "ribbon cutting".

How do you know that Zhou Qiao really has suggestions?

Sequoia Hospital, White Rock Hospital, and Hope Hospital in East Africa have been looking forward to this surgical robot with powerful performance and sci-fi appearance. Unfortunately, it is estimated that they will have to wait for a long time.

Soon, the boss opened a new store. Thinking of the last experience, he deliberately asked his daughter to break the ribbon in advance. As a result, customers filed in again, the business was open, and the money was flowing!

Of course, once an idea is created, it is a difficult process to realize it, but the idea of ​​this VR medical auxiliary device is still very promising. After all, many VR devices are quite advanced now.

In addition to asking for advice, the R&D team also wanted to flatter Zhou Qiao.

In order to prevent accidents caused by crowds rushing to the new ship, a "defense line" was set up with ropes.

After Zhou Qiao attended the groundbreaking ceremony, he went to Future Medical Devices' office in San Francisco to inspect the work and listen to reports from each team.

"Yes, Boss Zhou, you are simply my god."

One theory is that in 1912, a department store in the United States was about to open. In order to seek good luck, the owner opened the store door early in the morning and tied a cloth ribbon in front of the door.

The R&D team of Future Medical admired Zhou Qiao the most. After reporting their work to Zhou Qiao, they asked Zhou Qiao for advice, hoping that the smart and great Dr. Zhou could give them some "creative ideas."

In fact, Zhou Qiao got inspiration from Murphy.

Murphy can perform virtual 3D modeling, which is unknown to others, but Zhou Qiao has a system that can easily detect her special ability.

However, Murphy built it purely on his own strong mental power and imagination, without any external objects.

Other doctors don't have this ability.

But it doesn’t matter. You can use some high-tech medical auxiliary equipment.

Zhou Qiao was thinking that if a series of VR-assisted medical equipment could be developed, it would be much more convenient for examinations and surgeons' operations.

In addition, VR is the direction of the future and the trend. Medical technology must also keep pace with the times and strive to be a trendsetter of the times.

It is said that Huawei in China is about to launch aerial imaging technology, which can directly "reveal" images in 3D before your eyes without using any screen or physical media, and can interact with them.

If this technology can really be realized, it will not only be science fiction, but also a bit like "Xianxia".

The medical field can naturally develop in this direction as a branch.

Most of today's medical auxiliary equipment requires the use of electronic screens. If it can be directly assisted by virtual 3D holographic images like Murphy, plus various annotations and annotations, then performing surgery will be twice the result with half the effort.

However, with the current technology, it is estimated that even if it develops for several generations, it will not be able to match Murphy's own special skills.

Murphy's skill is already truly "fairy-like".

It's a pity that this is the Age of Ending Dharma, and she can't cultivate immortality. Otherwise, casually visualizing the Dharma would be like innately visualizing the Holy Body.

Zhou Qiao now has enough points. He has added points to all the medical skills he possesses to the perfect level. He has also given points to several other girls, including Murphy, Stephanie, Nanako Chiba, and Dr. Yang, in their respective fields of expertise. Add points to reach the peak of master level.

Like Murphy, Stephanie, and even a few have reached the same level as Zhou Qiao, the perfect level.

Of course, in terms of "all-round talent", Zhou Qiao is the most powerful and has the most extensive coverage. He is a truly top-notch general practitioner.

As for the twin girls, with their current status, it is unlikely that they will engage in nursing work, so Zhou Qiao did not give them any extra points.

Dr. Xiao Yang's acupuncture and prescriptions have already surpassed those of her teacher, Dr. Xu, a nationally renowned Chinese doctor, through Zhou Qiao's addition. Everyone said that she was better than her master. Not long ago, a case that occurred at a famous medical clinic in Hangzhou once again made Dr. Yang "famous".

A young girl who was only 16 years old and 1.7 meters tall suffered from a sudden high fever of unknown origin. Three days after going to the fever clinic of a hospital near her home for treatment, her condition still did not improve.

Her parents took her to a tertiary hospital in Hangzhou. The test results shocked her family, but the treatment results were not ideal.

The girl's high fever has infected her heart, liver, lungs, kidneys and other organs, causing varying degrees of damage.

To make matters worse, her heart function also began to show signs of failure.

On the second day of hospitalization, the doctor issued a critical illness notice to his family.

His parents almost collapsed.

The hospital conducted a series of examinations and treatment measures for the girl, but in the end there was no clear diagnosis or explanation. In order to relieve the girl's high fever as soon as possible, the hospital used hormone drugs.

Unfortunately, it was effective at first, but then the effect became worse and worse.

When hormones were initially used, the drug could still maintain the antipyretic effect for 24 hours, but later it was reduced to 12 hours, and then even shortened to 6 hours. Afterwards, the girl's body temperature rose back to 39°C.

The time for the medicine to take effect is constantly shortening, and the condition is worrying.

Moreover, using hormones can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause.

After 9 days of ineffective treatment at a tertiary hospital, the girl's parents heard that Dr. Yang from the famous medical center was very good at traditional Chinese medicine, so they came to the famous medical center for help.

They are thinking that even if Dr. Yang is not good, there are still many famous Chinese doctors here. Western medicine doesn’t work. Maybe Chinese medicine can solve it?
Anyway, just give it a try.

If it doesn't work, they want to transfer to another hospital and take their daughter to the Demon City or the Imperial City for medical treatment.

Unexpectedly, after Dr. Xiao Yang received the consultation, he had a consultation with Dr. Xu. Soon, the master and the apprentice prescribed a Chinese medicine prescription of Da Po Ge Jiu Xin combined with a small dose of Qinglong Decoction, combined with the special Chinese medicine therapy to warm and tonic. To condition a girl's body in all aspects.

To the surprise of the girl's parents, after taking two doses of traditional Chinese medicine, the girl's body temperature dropped from 39°C to 38°C without rebounding. In other words, it is more powerful than the previous hormone drugs.

That alone is amazing!
How can ordinary Chinese medicine doctors have such powerful abilities!

The girl's family has hope.

As the girl's fever gradually receded, Dr. Yang adjusted the dosage of traditional Chinese medicine prescription in time according to the girl's condition.

It is not a recipe that can be used to the end.

Five days later, a miracle happened.

After precise syndrome differentiation and treatment using pure Chinese medicine, the girl’s high fever not only subsided smoothly, but her mental outlook also took on a new look. Breaking free from the previous state of being in bed all day long, lacking energy and talking, and losing appetite, I began to take the initiative to get out of bed and take walks to regain my strength. I even had the idea of ​​ordering takeout.

The family members came and asked: "Can we let her eat takeout?"

Doctor Yang checked the situation and said with a smile: "Just make it light, not too greasy."

Fortunately, many takeaways in Hangzhou are not heavy on flavor, and there is still a lot of choice.

What? If there is no delicious food in Hangzhou, is it a food desert?

how is this possible.

Haven't you heard that there was a young man in fashionable clothes who flew over from the distant south of Caiyun. As soon as he landed, he couldn't wait to go straight to Vientiane City, robbed a gold store, and made a living in prison?

It is said that this person has done special research and knows that the prison food in Hangzhou is good. I traveled thousands of miles just to find a good environment.

After the girl was discharged from the hospital, her family sent a banner to the Famous Medical Center to express their gratitude to Dr. Yang and Dr. Xu.

However, Dr. Xu said in public: "Actually, this is all due to my good apprentice. She is also leading the entire diagnosis and treatment process. Some of her views and insights are now superior to mine."

Everyone thought that Dr. Xu was deliberately saying this in order to promote apprentices. In fact, Dr. Xu told the truth.

Doctor Xu's love for Yang Xuejun became more and more intense, and he felt that the closed disciple he had accepted in his later years was really nothing to say, it could be said that he had found a treasure.

……

Iris Clinic.

A new KT board poster is posted in the clinic's publicity board.

"Iris Rare Disease Diagnosis and Treatment Center" was established.

This news was naturally released on self-media accounts such as Iris Clinic, Dr. Yang, Xue Qiao Selection, and Iris Media, and many people liked and commented on it.

The reason for this confidence is that Iris Clinic has treated more than 20 types of rare diseases in the past three years, and every patient has received proper and satisfactory diagnosis and treatment.

I have struggled with the disease in other places and repeatedly failed to treat it, but when I come to Iris Clinic, I can often "clear the clouds and see the sun" and "cure the disease with the medicine."

The reason why this "center" was established and this "selling point" was naturally because patients with rare diseases are very "poor".

Rare diseases are also called "orphan diseases" because there are few people affected by the disease and there is no relevant research. In the medical field, they are "orphans" that no one cares about.

Drugs for rare diseases are also called "orphan drugs". No one invested a lot of money in research and development. Except for some national institutions and public welfare projects.

Zhou Qiao hopes that rare diseases will no longer be "rare" and "orphan diseases" will no longer be lonely.

In addition, the treatment cost of rare diseases is also high, which is a big piece of cake.

This disease is often a congenital disease that does not discriminate between rich and poor. There are also many wealthy families with such patients. The fact that Iris Clinic can provide such good services is also a blessing to these wealthy families.

As for children from poor families who unfortunately suffer from "rare diseases", it doesn't matter. You can come to Talia and Veronica. They are running a charity fund together to provide medical expenses assistance to children from really poor families.

After the "Iris Rare Disease Diagnosis and Treatment Center" was launched, overwhelming "hot spots" came into operation, and the first patient came here.

The other party was a seventeen-year-old high school student living in San Luis Obispo. She should have been a young and vigorous white girl who attended various school gatherings. Before that, she had been on the long road to seek medical treatment.

About eight years ago, Pamela Simmons, a nine-year-old girl, began to have abdominal pain from time to time. The attacks often occurred without warning and were accompanied by obvious nausea, vomiting and other symptoms.

Her family brought her to the Iris Clinic and told the star doctors of the Iris Clinic about her condition and her past medical history. It was so heartbreaking that she burst into tears.

"My daughter is so pitiful..." Mrs. Simmons said while rubbing her red eyes.

"When she gets sick, she doesn't know when it will come. Sometimes it happens two or three times a week, sometimes three or four times a month, and she will be relieved in as little as three days or as long as seven days. But this disease is really too painful. It’s torture.”

"The most important thing is that there is no warning, just like boots that have not yet landed, they will fall down at any time."

Mr. Simmons said: “Every time my daughter has an attack, the pain is so painful that cold sweat breaks out on her forehead. No matter how many painkillers she takes, it doesn’t work. It’s like... there’s something twisting in her stomach, and she’s going to The kind that crushes a person’s internal organs.”

This feeling was naturally told to her by his daughter.

Faced with this strange disease, the Simmons family naturally took their daughter to seek medical treatment everywhere. They also went to major hospitals and did a lot of examinations. Possible symptoms were checked one by one, but they still didn't know where the problem lay.

If rare diseases were so easy to diagnose and treat, they wouldn’t be called rare diseases.

Zhou Qiao expressed deep sympathy for little Panmila's experience. After thinking about it, he asked, "Besides abdominal pain, are there any other abnormalities in your body?"

Mrs. Simmons pondered for a moment and added: "In recent years, some parts of her body have swollen for no reason."

"Which parts are they specifically?" Zhou Qiao asked.

Murphy, Stephanie, and Chiba Nanako also looked over.

Mrs. Simmons said: "It's different every time. It's very strange. Sometimes the hands, sometimes the lips, sometimes the face, sometimes... the breasts, and then allergies, falls, etc. will cause them to swell inexplicably. lock up."

"This is quite important information!" Zhou Qiao nodded, and then asked Jin Jizhen to take Simmons and his family to the rest area for a short rest. He wanted to discuss the condition in detail with the members of the Iris Group.

Everyone expressed their opinions, and finally, they settled on one direction, which was hereditary angioedema.

This is also a rare disease.
