Once, Zheng Jianguo had never heard of this scene. In his last life, many reports said how good the welfare of the United States is, in which at least 80 or 90% of medical expenses are reimbursed, which has become a topic that many young patients talk about from time to time.


    Whenever someone brings up this topic, the patients and their families who discuss it will scold again. Without medical insurance and rural cooperative medical insurance, they have to pay all their own expenses. Even those with medical insurance and rural cooperative medical insurance have to bear 45%, saying that they will be poor until liberation.


    It was not until he came to America in his life that Zheng Jianguo found that most of the rumors heard in his previous life were true.


    Because most of the medical expenses are incurred during hospitalization, the medical insurance organization has established a set of evaluation criteria to measure the rational use of medical resources, which is used to control the expenditure of insurance expenses, and is committed to reducing the length of hospitalization of patients.


    At the same time, this evaluation standard also promotes the standardized formulation of medical staff in business from the side. Patients are required to stay in the hospital for about 5 to 7 days in case of acute disease attack, and they should reach the recovery period.


    Then they will be transferred to a relatively low-cost nursing home or home care center, or simply appear at the doctor''s clinic for follow-up.


    Of course, patients who can be included in this evaluation standard must be groups with medical insurance and Medicaid. The former, as the main body of federal compulsory insurance, allows participants to enjoy 90 days of hospitalization and 100 days of technical care every year.


    The most important thing is that unless both of them occur in the same year, there is no need for individuals to pay.


    In addition to this compulsory insurance, there is a supplementary medical insurance based on personal will to cover the cost of out of hospital medical treatment (the cost of drugs and other medical services after dialing an ambulance). In 1980, the insurance premium was $5 per month.


    Of course, in addition to the federal insurance, there are medical insurance provided by private insurance companies. Its various plans make up for the restrictions of people outside the federal insurance and meet the different needs of different people.


    This part of the expenditure accounts for nearly 40% of the medical expenses of the whole United States.


    But even in the Lighthouse of America in some people''s hearts, this almost free medical treatment can not be enjoyed by everyone.


    If people who do not buy insurance get sick and have an accident, they will be like the middle-aged people crawling at Zheng Jianguo''s feet. When facing a large group of doctors who treat and save people, they seem to see the God of death waving a huge sickle: "I''m fine, I''m not sick -"


    The middle-aged man shouted and got up. After seeing several doctors with a frightened face, he quickly turned and ran away. Just then, the little policeman Ken seemed to find something: "stop, you kicked Dr. Alfonso -"


    "No, let him go -"


    Alfonso looked at his blackened wrist and said quickly. Ken couldn''t help looking back at him and said in a bad tone: "Dr Alfonso, you''re too kind -"


    "Zheng, take Dr. Alfonso for an examination -"


    Nathan assigned Zheng Jianguo as if he had nothing to do. Zheng Jianguo nodded, handed over the single frame in his hand to the other party, looked at Alfonso''s wrist and frowned: "are you soft hearted?"


    "Just like your kindness to that girl, my father said that kindness is a good character that only the strong can have, not a helpless acceptance of revenge. I can investigate this person''s personal injury.


    But he had no money. If he had money, I would make him regret it. However, he had only his life left, but I saved him from death. I can''t do that -- "


    Shrugging his shoulders, Alfonso said disapprovingly. After glancing at Zheng Jianguo, he seemed to think of something. Then he said, "Zheng, don''t tell Manion the truth. If she wants to ask, I''ll answer -"


    "OK."


    Silently nodded his head, Zheng Jianguo felt that the two rich generations could see it so open. He just thought that the education they received from childhood was like this. Why not adults don''t remember villains: "it''s a pity that you can''t participate in the operation these two days."


    "Pliny also asked me to prepare for gallbladder surgery tomorrow."


    Alfonso said and stopped in the emergency room. Then he turned and looked at Zheng Jianguo. When he was about to speak, he saw that the door of the emergency room that had just been closed was knocked open. Pliny and Nathan ran in with an ambulance: "the injured in the MVA accident is 25 years old, pulse 150, blood pressure 50, unable to intubate, blunt abdominal contusion, capillary filling index - get out of the way - Zheng, come here."


    "Oh, OK -"


    Then he hid by the wall and wanted to stick himself on the wall. Zheng Jianguo saw that Pliny, who had gone away with the roar, suddenly called himself. He turned around and looked at the Arab cableway that was also pasted on the wall: "you''d better write a film list for yourself. Anyway, you don''t need that little money -"


    “——”


    Without saying a word, he threw down Alfonso, who was speechless. Zheng Jianguo had quickly caught up with the emergency bed that was about to disappear at the door of the debridement room. He saw Pliny looking at it with sharp eyes that he had never seen before: "Zheng, how many times have you seen intubation?"


    "38 times, if you count this time, 39 times."


    Zheng Jianguo didn''t even think about it. He just thought of something after he finished, and saw Pliny say, "let''s intubate --"


    "Me? Really? "


    Zheng Jianguo was stunned. Pliny had followed the ambulance to the debridement room. He tilted his head and looked at Nathan, who was listening back and forth on the wounded with a stethoscope. He saw that the director said, "the breathing sound is weakened, there is a drum sound on the right side, ready to reduce pressure -"


    "You''ve seen it so many times. Let''s intubate him -"


    Pliny said it easily, but he felt the blood boiling after falling in Zheng Jianguo''s ear. The full name of intubation is endotracheal intubation, which is the main means to rescue patients with respiratory dysfunction. It belongs to the routine operation that Alfonso can contact.


    According to the normal process, Zheng Jianguo may not be exposed until the first half of the year, so he quickly came to Pliny. The nurse assistant had said, "the muscle relaxant injection is over -"


    "Local anesthesia completed -"


    The anesthesiologist''s voice rang out. Zheng Jianguo took the hose sleeve handed over by the surgical nurse, held it in his left hand and clamped the patient''s chin open with his right hand. After looking at his eyes, he immediately said, "there is too much internal bleeding and blood needs to be drawn -"


    "I''ll --"


    The operation nurse quickly turned around and took the aspirator to the side. Zheng Jianguo picked up the hose with the disappearance of blood in his mouth. Pliny next to him observed his sight from the angle almost close to his face, watched his movements and opened his mouth for guidance: "gently push to the epiglottic bone, and then raise the hose, Watch your vocal cords - don''t touch the esophagus! "


    "Yes!"


    Unconsciously, Zheng Jianguo made a dull hum. Zheng Jianguo controlled his hand not to shake. After slowly inserting the pipe, Pliny had said, "very good! Now I can take him to the operating room -- "


    "Yes!"


    Zheng Jianguo watched as the door of the debridement room opened. Pliny and Nathan pushed the wounded on the emergency bed away: "well done! Zheng -- "


    "Bang -"


    With the sound of the automatic door closing, Zheng Jianguo was locked in the previously full debridement room. After feeling the rare silence, Zheng Jianguo slowly clenched his shaking right hand and showed a brilliant smile on his face: "Ha -"


    "Zheng, don''t be happy. I have a patient here. I need you to come and have a look -"


    I didn''t want Zheng Jianguo''s smile on his face to bloom. When the figure flashed, the door of the debridement room was pushed open again. Kart shook the dirty braid on his head and said to him. Zheng Jianguo didn''t expect that his dark music would be seen. He immediately strode to his side and said happily: "how''s Alfonso''s wrist?"


    "It''s more troublesome. After Manion washed him, Alfonso said it should be a scaphoid fracture -"


    Kart''s dark face flashed a hidden worry, and Zheng Jianguo''s previous joy disappeared in an instant. He said, "I believe he will have no problem. What''s the matter with this patient?"


    "He explained that the postcard jumped up and cut him -"


    Kart took Zheng Jianguo to the door of the debridement room next door and said that Zheng Jianguo saw the situation inside through the glass. A blond man was talking to Manion who cleaned his wound. After listening to the main complaint, he looked back at kart and said suspiciously, "postcard?"


    "Yes, he kept saying that his Postcard jumped up and cut his hand -"


    Kart shrugged again and said that Zheng Jianguo looked at the debridement room again. At the same time, he said, "it''s useless for you to find me. You have to find the gentlemen upstairs to come down and have a look, psychiatry or psychology --"


    "OK, Dr. Zheng ~ I''ll call the gentlemen down now."


    As kart said this, he turned and left. Zheng Jianguo found Manion inside. He looked around and opened the door: "Manion -"


    "I don''t want colored people to see me!"


    The middle-aged man with a white bandage on his hand quickly stood up. His pale face showed anxiety and roared loudly. Then he turned left and right twice, stretched out his short and thick fingers and poked at Manion: "forever, forever, don''t colored people see a doctor for me, don''t!"


    "Sir, please sit down. What''s in your hand --"


    Manion quickly got up and made a gesture. Before he finished, he saw that the middle-aged man quickly shook his head and stepped out a few steps. When he reached the door, he looked ferocious and poked his fingers at Zheng Jianguo. "I don''t want, forever, I don''t want, I won''t let people -- forever."


    Subconsciously, Zheng Jianguo stepped back and opened a safe distance with the other party. Zheng Jianguo''s action obviously satisfied the middle-aged man. He looked at him and nodded: "yes, that''s right. Go away and get out quickly -"


    "Sir, are you sure you won''t let me treat you?"


    After scanning Manion''s face in front of him, Zheng Jianguo said and looked at her again. The humanistic care of the United States is still in place. When facing patients, doctors need to consider each other as the center. If the goods really insist on not letting him see, he still needs to give in for the purpose of considering the treatment of patients: "Manion, Please look after him. I''ve asked kart to call the gentlemen upstairs. "


    "OK, Dr. Zheng -"


    When Manion silently looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, kart in front of the service desk had put down the phone and said, "Dr. Zheng, the gentlemen will come down soon."


    "Ringling -"


    Just put down the phone and jumped up again. Kart picked it up, listened to a few words, and then looked at Zheng Jianguo: "Dr. Zheng, someone is looking for you."


    "Ask him who he is. There are patients on my side."


    Remembering that he didn''t call home and the digestive Center office, Zheng Jianguo immediately shook his head and said loudly. Sure enough, after kart asked a few words, he put down the phone, looked up and said, "he hung up without answering."


    "That should be an unknown reporter."


    Zheng Jianguo tilted his head and said that the pager in his pocket was shocked. He felt it and looked at the information. When he reached the service desk a few steps, the figure of psychiatric gentlemen had appeared in the corridor. Kart quickly explored his fingers and said, "the patient is in QingChuang 2 room."


    "OK, leave it to us!"


    Looking at this group of gentlemen, they turned into the debridement room. Zheng Jianguo, who was on the phone, looked at Kalt. "So many people come here, it looks like they are really free."


    "Who knows, they haven''t been busy at all!"


    Kart said with approval on his face. Zheng Jianguo''s phone has also been dialed. After someone picked it up, Celia''s voice came: "boss, Qian Yunjia is here, and Aurora''s school secretary wants to talk to you about the laboratory --"


    "Did Mr. Aurora say when to see me?"


    Zheng Jianguo listened to Celia say, "Mr. aurora is right here. I''ll give him the phone."


    "Hi, Zheng, I haven''t seen you for a long time. I want to talk to you about the laboratory this time, Thomas and Celia. Now Professor Thomas''s laboratory funds are allocated by Congress. Considering your identity, the FBI doesn''t suggest you continue to participate in the research in the laboratory.


    As an irresistible clause in the employment agreement, the college originally planned to accept the proposal of the FBI and terminate your previous employment agreement. However, I heard from the Secretary of the school board that the college is preparing to build a bioengineering major. I thought if you change this employment agreement, do you have any idea? "


    Aurora''s voice meant some business notice, but Zheng Jianguo couldn''t help raising his eyebrows. As far as he knew, it was the dream of all American scientists to participate in the projects funded by Congress.


    In addition, the FBI used this excuse. Zheng Jianguo was not surprised that MIT could do so. What surprised him was that MIT wanted to prepare for bioengineering. He immediately frowned and said, "if I refuse to accept it, can I continue to rent the MIT Laboratory?"
