Chapter 390 The advantage is in me
Send Ted away.
Adam took Joe to take a CT scan.
"How about it?"
Joe looked nervously at Adam who was watching the CT film.
"I will be hospitalized first, Dr. Shept will come tomorrow..."
Before Adam could finish his words, he was interrupted by Joe.
"Tell me directly, I believe your diagnosis."
Qiao's face was pale.
In the United States, not all diseases can be hospitalized.
In order to ensure the efficiency of the rotation of the hospital bed and to ensure a higher profit margin in a single ward, American hospitals will not be hospitalized without being hospitalized. After being hospitalized for surgery, you will be discharged from the hospital for a few days at most.
Barney should have been discharged from the hospital long ago, but he was in a VIP ward and had to pay a lot of money every day, so the hospital did not drive him away.
Qiao knew how high the hospitalization fee was, but he didn't care anymore, and his mind was full of the meaning of hospitalization.
"From the CT scan, the artery at the base of your skull is swelling like a balloon, bleeding subarachnoidally, and aneurysm is very difficult, and the operation will be very difficult."
Adam explained: "But don't worry, Dr. Shept is the top doctor in this field. I believe he will give a feasible surgical plan."
Qiao stayed for a long time before saying hoarsely: "How much does it cost?"
"have no idea."
Adam shook his head: "It is impossible to estimate the cost of treatment without even the surgical plan. Even if the surgical plan is released, the cost will be uncertain until the operation is completed. You should know this."
In the United States, treatment is first.
The hospital bill will not be sent until the treatment is over and two months after discharge.
This is the most exciting moment.
It perfectly interprets the meaning of a glance at heaven and hell.
The hospital bill contains all the costs of your hospitalization, which often exceeds your limit expectations.
For example, if you think you may have a heavy bleeding, you will have to pay tens of thousands of US dollars, but out of psychological preparation for high medical expenses, the extreme expectation is more than one hundred thousand US dollars.
But the fact is that the bill sent by the hospital is not tens of thousands, not tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, but more than one million.
Is it unexpected?
Are you surprised or not?
People with poor health or poor psychological quality may be frightened to have strokes and brain hemorrhage?
The average annual income is more than 30,000 yuan, almost all Americans from the Moonlight tribe have to pay the bills that have dropped by more than one million yuan this time. It will take 30 or 40 years to pay it back if you don’t eat or drink.
Even if you pay in installments, you will pay 20,000 yuan a year, it will take more than fifty years.
By then, I will be a 80-year-old man who delivers express delivery every day and is paying the bill.
As for not paying it back without money?
The hospital will tell you!
First, you have nothing, and then let you bear the credit stain and cut yourself off from society.
You can't control such an exciting thing.
Because as long as you want to survive and receive treatment, you must follow the hospital's procedures.
If you need to take a CT scan, if you need to do an MRI, you will do an MRI. If you need to do this minor surgery, you will do this minor surgery first.
"Don't worry so much, I want to be happy. You are not a difficult and complicated disease. You don't have to go to the Princeton University Affiliated Hospital next door to see Dr. House."
Adam comforted.
“This is indeed good news.”
Qiao smiled bitterly.
He also heard the legend of Doctor House next door.
Faced with difficult and complicated diseases, Dr. House will do tests and tests over and over again.
Before the diagnosis, I not only had to endure Dr. House's poisonous tongue, but also had to undergo various examinations. Before the condition worsened, Dr. House had to suffer half of his life by using medicine.
Some examinations are invasive, and the damage to the body caused by medication is permanently irreversible.
After being cured by luck, you will not only have to endure the sequelae of treatment after you go back, but the key is to receive the long bill, which will also make you doubt your life and even feel like you are dying early and reborn early.
Of course, if you recall Dr. House's savage attitude, the patient or the patient's family may kill Dr. House first.
It is only a miracle that Dr. House has been able to live well over the years.
Therefore, it is better to diagnose any disease, even cancer, than to diagnose difficult and complicated diseases that are not confirmed.
Observing that Qiao's condition was temporarily stable and there was no tendency to worsen. Adam arranged for Qiao to be hospitalized and stayed on duty to take care of Qiao.
Qiao's aneurysm is too big and not in good condition, so he can hardly clamp it. This is the biggest difficulty of the operation.
The only way Adam can think of is one cutting-edge surgery: static surgery!
First freeze and reduce Qiao's body temperature, stop Qiao's heartbeat, drain Qiao's blood, and leave Qiao in a state of false death. At this time, Qiao's brain blood supply will also stop, and the risk of brain aneurysm rupture will be minimized.
The operation will be successful by completing the operation after 45 minutes and then regaining the heartbeat.
Although Dr. Shept's surgery is the main operation, he will most likely invite Dr. Burke to assist in the surgery process of cardiac blood draw.
Meredith is now having a big fight with Dr. Shept, and Christina, who was shot to death by Dr. Burke, is also recuperating.
It can be said that almost no one will compete with him for this operation.
Although it was a bit bad, Adam was in a very happy mood.
This is a doctor's pursuit of medical skills.
Moreover, he and Qiao were just nodding, not even friends.
The next day.
Early in the morning.
Adam is ready to cooperate with Dr. Shept's examination of Joe.
But before Dr. Sheput came, he waited for someone he didn't want to see now.
"Christina? Why are you here?"
"I'm fine, of course I'm going to come to work."
Christina smiled and said, "Not welcome? Have you had any good surgery?"
"Did you tell Dr. Burke?"
Adam smiled calmly and said, "It's best to explain this kind of thing clearly."
Christina's face turned dark.
She is also a genius, and soon reacted from this negative emotion and smiled and said, "I'm going to find Burke now. I want to see what surgery makes you care so much. Let me agree first. Although I am very grateful to you, I will not give up on the surgery."
As he said that, he turned around and walked towards Dr. Burke's office.
"Speak first, don't go through the back door and compete fairly."
Adam complained toward her back.
This cutting-edge joint surgery not only requires strong technology, but also requires time.
Adam's "best candidate" Leonard had no problem with his skill, but his speed was not as fast as Dr. Burke, who was in his prime.
Once a cardiothoracic surgery expert is invited, even if they are not in the way of dealing with the acting director of surgery, Dr. Sheput will probably choose Dr. Burke.
Once Dr. Burke is confirmed, Adam is a little unfavorable.
He does have the favor of Dr. Burke, but it is obviously not as good as Christina's lover!
Fortunately, Meredith should not come again to disturb him, and he still has the favor of Dr. Shept.
In addition, he is Qiao's treatment and custody doctor and the best intern.
His chance should be to crush Christina.
