From small clinic to medical empire

Chapter 97: I Respect Your Traditions 【Favorites!Please recommend! 】

It is said that there are four joys in life, sweet rains after a long drought, old acquaintances in a foreign country, wedding nights in the bridal chamber, and the time of being named on the gold list.

Meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land is the second-ranked happy event.

However, at this moment, Guo Yun was not happy at all.

There was even a frightening thought, which involuntarily came out from the bottom of my heart.

Guo Yun asked tremblingly: "Zhang... Doctor Zhang, why are you here? Are you going abroad to study?"

"No, I'm here to make some foreign money...um...I mean to guide the work."

Zhang Zifan instinctively regarded Guo Yun, who was of the same culture and species, as one of his own, but after thinking about it, this guy was fresh leeks, so he quickly changed his mind.

God is sorry to see, Zhang Zifan's original intention was indeed to get foreign leeks, but he didn't realize it, and he got fake foreign leeks twice.

If I remember correctly, among the three operations, Guo Yun's thyroid cancer operation was not the most difficult, but it was the most expensive.

How to treat foreign friends, Zhang Zifan feels that he has learned a little essence from the Americans.

"Are you the best head and neck surgeon in the world as Dr. Robert said?"

Guo Yun felt like he was going crazy!
If he hadn't met Zhang Zifan in the community clinic of Hemu Street, Huayang District, S City, he could barely accept the fact that his chief surgeon was a Chinese doctor.

But it's just barely acceptable!

Even if they are experts from Peking Union Medical College, West China University, Beijing Medical University or the Ninth Hospital of Shanghai Medical University, Guo Yun doesn’t think it’s worth it!

He spent nearly twenty times the money, and what he was looking for were foreign experts, foreign doctors, and white doctors!

He never thought that after a long time of trouble, the one who operated on him in the end was actually the community doctor who discovered his condition in the first place!

That young man whom he despised and dismissed!
What the hell does this happen?

Could it be that he fell into some huge fraud trap?

As a lawyer, Guo Yun has naturally heard that some fraud gangs will spend huge sums of money to set up huge scams, please join us.

But in a medical center as big as UCLA, there are thousands of busy doctors and nurses, can't they all be fake?

If this is the case, the cost of defrauding yourself of these millions is too high!

At this time, Dr. Robert, who had just finished accompanying his daughter, opened the door and came in.

Robert is Jewish, not white in the narrow sense.

But Guo Yun didn't see it that way. Looking at his pale skin, he suddenly seemed to have found the backbone.

He quickly stepped forward and asked: "Dr. Robert, is the international expert you are talking about Dr. Zhang?"

The success of his daughter's surgery made Dr. Robert, who had always been serious about his words, very happy.

He patted Guo Yun's shoulder rarely, and said cordially: "Mr. Guo, there is no doubt that your compatriot is the most remarkable head and neck surgeon in the world in my mind.

Yes, the most remarkable, not only in terms of theoretical innovation, but also in terms of surgical skills, are second to none!
Well, you don't need to be excited, let's take a group photo and start the operation! "

……

With the sound of "click", a classic photo that will become the cover page of the website of Haoran Hospital International Exchange Center was born.

In the photos, there are Chinese, whites, blacks, half-black and half-white, and yellow-skinned and white-hearted people. It can be said to be a hodgepodge of multiple races.

Among them, Zhang Zifan was surrounded by Shi Xiaoya and Yuan Qiang, smiling brightly.

Yuan Qiang was a little reserved, while Shi Xiaoya looked proud.

On either side of them were Robert and the anesthesiologist Henry Fo.

Generally speaking, the proud doctor Robert would not give up the C position, but Zhang Zifan treated his daughter perfectly, and he has already been convinced by his superb surgical skills.

Dr. Robert showed a standard American smile and leaned slightly to show his humility, but his eight shining white teeth slightly stole the spotlight.

On both sides of the photo are Cui Wa, his mother, and Guo Yun and his wife.

Cui Wa's mother is a standard black aunt. Needless to say, her right cheek is slightly swollen due to the parotid gland mixed tumor.

Cui Wa supported her carefully, showing a shy and funny smile.

As for Guo Yun, the atmosphere was a bit subtle.

Guo Yun's wife already knew the whole story, and the two of them are neither crying nor laughing now.

Under the flash of the camera, only two half-crying half-smiling faces were left.

……

Facts have proved that Guo Yunhua's several million yuan is still very valuable, and soon he will spend hundreds of thousands more.

The operation was completed by Zhang Zifan and Dr. Robert.

Robert completed the gland operation part, and Zhang Zifan completed the lymph node dissection part.

But after the operation began, things changed.

Dr. Robert originally planned to perform a total thyroidectomy on Guo Yun, but Zhang Zifan observed the cancer nests on the glands and thought that part of the glands could be preserved to maintain the quality of life after surgery.

Two accurate intraoperative slices completely convinced Dr. Robert.

What followed was a surgical demonstration of incomparable precision.

Even in the middle of the operation, Robert changed from the original collaborator to a medical assistant, and he was also a second assistant.

After all, the first assistant is Yuan Qiang's job, and Yuan Qiang is much better than Robert in terms of how to cooperate with Director Zhang's operation.

In just five to ten minutes, the operation was almost complete.

Robert asked his personal assistant to help wipe the sweat from his forehead.

While suturing the skin, he carefully showed it to Zhang Zifan: "Dr. Zhang, do you think I can suture like this?"

He was really shocked by Zhang Zifan's suturing skills, and worried that his skills would not be able to do it.

Zhang Zifan shook his head, picked up the nail tool and handed it to him, saying, "Dr. Robert, use this, it's easy to use!"

The so-called skin nails are to use metal nails like staplers to staple the skin together.

Its advantages are efficient, fast, and not easy to cause a knot reaction.

The disadvantage is that it is impossible to do cosmetic sutures, and it is prone to uneven prognosis.

Dr. Robert was relieved, and quickly finished all the incisions with skin staples.

To be honest, he hasn't done these odd jobs for several years, and his techniques are indeed a bit rusty.

The operation ended perfectly, and Robert said to Zhang Zifan: "Dr. Zhang, because you have improved the operation plan, increased the complexity of the operation, and improved the quality of life of the patient.

I think it is necessary for us to increase the cost of surgery, of course, this part of the cost will mainly be paid to you! "

"Can you increase the price on the operating table without the patient's consent?"

Zhang Zifan was a little dazed, isn't this a routine used by a certain field doctor?

A doctor from a certain Tian department still forced the patient to sign in the middle of the operation, at least knowing...

In China, in regular hospitals, additional operations are generally required. For example, if an unexpected cyst is found during laparotomy, it can only be removed together with the consent of the patient's family members, in order to increase the charges.

Such things as slightly changing the surgical plan generally do not charge more money, otherwise it is easy to cause medical disputes.

Robert nodded as a matter of course, and said: "Of course, there will be various emergencies during the treatment, and it is normal to increase the treatment fee, and these have been included in the pre-operative notice.

In fact, I never talk about money with patients before surgery, and I always send out bills after surgery. "

"Hey, well, I respect your American traditions."

Zhang Zifan sighed, "But because this patient is my compatriot, you can give him a 99% discount. It's not easy for him to come to the United States to seek medical treatment!"

At this moment, Zhang Zifan felt that he was too kind and fraternal, and his body must be shining with the radiance of a holy saint.
