Great Power

Curvy smoke rose slowly from the burning cigarette butt. Bruce, who was holding the smoke, blinked his blue eyes and looked at the teaching building in the distance. At this moment, the people in the team were spreading out in twos and threes to relax, and they soon saw A figure appeared in the low corridor, he took the cigarette butt into his mouth and took another sip, threw it on the gravel ground and trampled it out with leather shoes with beef tendon. Gudong swallowed his saliva and cleared his throat to the flower garden. Soon Carol ran to his side, holding a paper in front of him and said: "After the confirmation, Zheng Jianguo wants to go out, and his teacher wants him out, but the possible resistance will come from this school. The other leaders of and the leaders of this area—"

"Is this paper really researched by Zheng Jianguo himself? Can it cause such a sensation as you said?"

When Bruce took the paper and flipped through it quickly, Carol shrugged and said: "Previous tests have confirmed that it is Zheng Jianguo's research. At least he is also the moderator. The motivation is well-organized and the data can be opened. Considering that his teacher gave up the title of first author in order to send him out, Zheng Jianguo can only be, and he is the only author of the paper.

As for the Helicobacter bacteria in the stomach, I also learned about it before I came here. In the past, no one in the world had found bacteria in the stomach. It was just that the group of drug companies spent money on public relations for the multi-billion dollar interfering agent market. , Because if it can be cured by just eating cheap amoxicillin and metronidazole, no one will spend dozens of dollars on interfering agents."

"So that gang of bastards can't touch this place. Did Zheng Jianguo find out?"

Bruce silently glanced at Carol, who was frowning. He was naturally familiar with the faces of the domestic capitalists. It is not uncommon to bet the whole family for money. Carol nodded and said: "It looks like this now. Now, those scumbags are scorning public safety in order to make money—"

"That has nothing to do with us, this time all people and things have to make concessions for the task—"

Bruce's complexion has improved a lot. In his opinion, the domestic multi-billion dollar market is not a problem at all, and tens of billions can't be compared to the smallest link in this mission, just when he feels inexplicable joy. , Carol hesitated again and said: "His teacher seems to regret his return, saying that he should be back at this time, with his research abroad, and also use this to educate. Zheng Jianguo-why do you want to help him contact studying abroad?"

"That's not to help him, then you will understand—"

Bruce looked surprised and shook his head with laughter, and when he raised his arm to pat Carol's shoulder, he suddenly remembered how many people were looking at him, so he had to say: "You shouldn't hear this, no. It is said that Zheng Jianguo seems to be only 16 or 17 years old this year, and it will take him more than ten or twenty years to achieve his academic success. At that time, you and I didn’t know where and what he was doing. In addition, his research was still clinical. You have to take good care of you, and he will give you a black hand if you go to the doctor someday."

"Okay, then I'll go back to London directly."

Carol frowned and said, Bruce nodded and turned to watch him go away, then took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, lighting it with a Zippo lighter, his eyes fell on the dead tree with only the branches left. Unexpectedly, as he exhaled with a breath of smoke mixed with white mist, fine white particles fell in the sky, and soon his blue eyes lit up. After a few mouthfuls, he said to himself: "Winter When it comes, will spring be far behind?"

The figure of Bruce quickly disappeared into the campus along with the white particles scattered. Qi Province also ushered in the first snow after the winter of 1978. When Zheng Jianguo appeared from the meeting room, the previous fine snow particles It has become a piece of snowflakes. I immediately reached out my hand in excitement and received it in front of me. Without thinking, it turned into water stains as the coolness spread. Then I realized that it was not only the hungry on my hand that the temperature was too high to hold the snow. Even the snowflakes on the ground are also melting at the speed of the naked eye. Fortunately, the snowflakes fall one after another, and it doesn't take long before they become white.

"Jianguo, shall we go?"

A voice sounded behind him, Zheng Jianguo turned his head and looked at Ye Minde, who was covered with age spots, only to find that the old man's hair had turned completely white some time ago, and a pair of big eye bags appeared on the old cheeks, and he nodded immediately. Said: "Okay."

"I plan to resign from the post of deputy dean in charge of graduate education."

Ye Minde wore a black coat with frayed edges. Zheng Jianguo knew that this was brought by the old man when he returned to China. He had been cherishing Jiajia for decades and was reluctant to wear it. He didn't expect to wear it today to fill the facade. He immediately smiled: It’s time for you to take a rest. During this period of time I often see your tired look--"

"I know that the major problems are not all minor problems with my body. At that time, the dean asked me to take over this job. I didn't want to take over. However, remembering that other people had never been in contact with graduate education, I reluctantly took it. Reluctantly supporting it is a shelf-"

Walking on the campus with fluttering snowflakes, Ye Minde's spirit was much better than before. He stopped under a corridor, turned to look at Zheng Jianguo, who was silent, and smiled: "You know why I set the tuition fee. Are you out?"

"This one--"

Zheng Jianguo didn't expect the old man to come to a divine transfer. Of course he knew what the reason was, but Zheng Jianguo shouldn't know it. He shook his head and said, "Is it expensive?"

"It's very expensive, especially for the clinical major of gastroenterology that I chose for you. In American medical school, you can not enter the high school exam, but you have to graduate from university to take the exam. The cost of study is about 10,000 US dollars a year.

This is the price before I returned to China, and now it seems that it will not be lower than this figure. At that time, their per capita income was only five or six hundred dollars, and the annual salary of two adults was not enough. Now I estimate that the tuition fee should be one. Between 50,000 and 20,000."

As if lost in memory, Ye Minde saw that Zheng Jianguo just opened his eyes and said nothing. He couldn't help but smile: "This is still a simple study fee, and life. The cheapest chicken nuggets cost one dollar. I hope that if you go out, you will get a medical certificate and come back."

"Get a medical certificate?"

Zheng Jianguo was stunned. According to his thoughts, after he went out, he could take the title of a master and doctor, and then he would become an authority in the gastroenterology department when he came back, but he didn't expect to have to take a medical certificate: "It's not just a doctor. ?"

"If you take an MD medical doctor, it's okay, but if you don't take the USMLE exam, the MD degree is not worth the money. You can only go to the hospital doctor to get the medical certificate after three or four years of passing the assessment.

It’s just that this medical certificate is not a specialist certificate. If you want a specialist certificate, you need to go through another three to five years of advanced studies to get the specialist license. If you can earn enough credits in the medical school two years in advance, then you will be 8 years later. You should be able to get a specialist medical certificate."

As if recalling his life plan, Ye Minde’s pale face was flushed with a little ruddy, and a pair of eyes swept across Zheng Jianguo’s slightly discolored cheeks, and smiled: “This is the plan I made back then, because my dream when I was a child was to become A doctor who rescued the dying and healed the wounded, no matter how much money he had at that time, it was of no use to face death.

And if you can get this specialty medical certificate, you will also get the entry certificate of this group, especially when you stand at the pinnacle of your field, you can only have the same authority as you. People, if you are willing to come back then, I believe you will have amazing connections, and if you are just a researcher, you are just a researcher.

To put it bluntly, if you are only doing academic research, even if you have won the Nobel Prize, these people will only look at you high, and you will not be guilty and you will not take the initiative to show your favor. Everyone will give you enough. A lot of respect does not contain true friendship, but if you are a doctor of gastroenterology, this is a scarce resource for these people, and you can exchange what you have."

"I understand what you mean. If I am just a pure researcher, then I will only become a theoretical expert in this field, and if I can get a medical certificate, it will prove that I am still a practical expert, only theory and practice. Combining with each other can maximize my current discovery benefits. After all, medical care is a scarce resource for anyone!"

Zheng Jianguo instantly understood what Ye Minde wanted to express. In his memory, the hospital he was in was always in the state of being a bird, and the city was like a vegetable market every day. If he obtained a medical license in the United States, he would almost get it. If you have a medical qualification certificate from colleagues all over the world, it can be considered that it has established the most basic communication qualifications with other clinical authorities in the world. Otherwise, even if you have money to invite people to see a doctor, there will be a worry about whether someone’s doctor is dedicated or not. .

"Yes, the scarcity of medical care has always been a problem that countries around the world cannot solve. Because people have a heart for receiving the best medical services, this has led to an urgent need for doctors at the highest level, which naturally gave them extreme High social status.

This is not the result of a failed operation in the country and the beating by the patient’s family, so you don’t have to worry about this, they will only think that you did your best, even if you made a mistake in the operation, and can identify the person who made your mistake. , It can only be other experts in your field."

Ye Minde only thought that Zheng Jianguo still had a deep memory of what he saw that time. It can be regarded as a bitter heart. Of course, this is also what he heard from Ye Zhenkai, knowing that this disciple is extremely disgusted with the behavior of some patients’ family members. Rebellion and even some fear. This fear lurking deep in his consciousness is probably the source of his rejection of the clinic. Fortunately, this possibility is almost impossible to happen abroad, even if the consequences occur. Chinese people can imagine: "The treatment of doctors over there is very good, the average annual salary is more than 50,000 yuan, which is ten times that of ordinary people-this is still my income before returning."

"This seems to be an astronomical number from our perspective."

Even if he knew that American doctors had an annual salary of more than 100,000, Zheng Jianguo was really shocked. The old man was so high more than 20 years ago when he came back. Of course, he was only surprised. The money is not for him. It's not a trouble. His attention at the moment has been drawn away by what the old man said earlier. There is no such thing as the communication in the book of the room, until he has become friends with the world's top clinical experts, those who are not. People are also prepared to prepare patients, no matter how powerful people come to the doctor, all they can do is trust the doctor.

Of course, Zheng Jianguo's question is not without it: "Can you analyze the difference between the medical system over there and ours?"

"Of course there are differences, let's not talk about it—"

Some people were uncertain about Zheng Jianguo’s intention to ask this, Ye Minde frowned slightly and said, “First of all, most of the people who can go to the hospital are insured. The process for these people is to make an appointment to see a doctor, and then the hospital will treat it. Later, the cost list is sent to the insurance company, and the insurance company pays for the cost, but this part of the cost only includes the treatment and medical expenses. If you need to take the order issued by the doctor, go to the pharmacy to buy it.

In terms of scientific division, the hospital is not an organization or a whole. The logistics and services of some hospitals are provided by professional consulting companies and service companies. So in this way, a patient goes to see a doctor through doctors, hospitals, and services. Companies, insurance companies, and pharmacies can work together to accomplish this.

As for those who are not insured, they can only pay for their own treatment costs in full, but the advantage is that they can bargain the price, but considering that a 120 ambulance will cost dozens to hundreds, thousands of dollars for an appendectomy In terms of dollar charges, those who have no money really cannot afford to get sick.

Of course, they also have public hospitals set up by the state, but this kind of hospitals need to be reserved in advance. As for when they are scheduled, they can only pray that God will open their eyes. Therefore, people without insurance are just like farmers here. In the end, when you can't make it, you won't go to the hospital to see a doctor.

And if you go to see a doctor and you default on the hospital bill, you will first leave a stain on your personal credit, and secondly, the debt collection agency will come to your door. If you default on too many fees, you will face the risk of lawsuits and jail. This is really the point. Even if an individual goes bankrupt, he can only become a tramp when he leaves the prison.

Their homeless people are not as good as our beggars. At least there are people who are beggars who will be pitiful. The United States does not believe in tears. It only believes in your ability, because your ability can create benefits for them, increase fiscal revenue, and promote the country. Moving forward-Jianguo, I think you can do it, but don't borrow money, remember!"
