Chapter 464 Mayo parasite expert

The big dog gave too much.

Chen Qi performed a total of 23 flying knife operations in just 3 days and 3 nights during the intermission period of the "World Congress of Surgery".

At the same time, as a director of the two major societies, he performed 7 more teaching operations, with an average of 10 days a day after the operation, the whole person was going crazy.

No, Chen Qi, with an unshaven beard and two panda eyes, sat on the plane to Rochester, Minnesota, and was always giggling.

Can you be unhappy, 23 flying knife surgeries have generated a total of 1.5 million US dollars for him.

Among them, two super-rich people directly sold 200,000 yuan each, one rich man gave 100,000 yuan, and the rest paid 50,000 yuan in flying knife fees according to international unspoken rules.

The other 7 teaching surgeries have only a basic labor fee of 10,000 U.S. dollars, but they add up to 70,000 U.S. dollars.

The night before Jiajia left San Francisco, Yoshito Takada, the boss of the Japanese Sysmex Genetic Testing Company, gave Chen Qi an additional 200,000 US dollars as a thank you fee.

So during the one-week meeting in San Francisco, he earned a total of 1.77 million US dollars in net income. This income-generating speed is comparable to a money printing machine.

What kind of bicycle do you want?

In his previous life, when Chen Qi was a young doctor, he often went out of town to fly knives with his mentor. He was a well-known expert in the province. The red envelope for one operation was 10,000 yuan, and local hospitals often prepared 10 operations.

When Chen Qi's mentor took away 100,000 yuan of flying knife fees in one day, Chen Qi was so jealous. You must know that as a young doctor who just started working, his annual income is only more than 100,000 yuan And myself.

With this amount of money, it is basically enough to talk about love and open a house, and occasionally give some small gifts.

But you said you want to buy a house in a big city, especially a house in Xihu City, Haidong Province, a hometown of real estate speculators, with an income of more than 100,000 to 200,000 yuan, go back to your hometown as soon as possible.

Being a famous doctor, making flying knives, and receiving red envelopes became one of the important motivations for Chen Qi in his previous life to study for a master's degree and a Ph.D.

You must know that it is really difficult to study medicine. The textbooks are so thick that they are piled up higher than an adult, and there is no point, basically all of them need to be "recited" or "mastered".

When others kissed my girlfriend and I did sports in the hotel, Chen Qi would often study hard under the lamp in the middle of the night, in order to have a better life in the future, earn more money, and be able to afford a house in the provincial capital .

Without certain perseverance and faith, it is difficult for ordinary people to persevere.

As a result, in his previous life, Chen Qi hadn't waited to become an expert, but he died due to overwork.

Unexpectedly, when I was reborn in the 1980s, I got the international flying knife fee by accident, and gave me US dollars at every turn. This kind of material and spiritual satisfaction, let alone how happy I am.

Probably God's compensation for his hard work in his previous life.

It's a pity that this top-level flying knife surgery can only encounter a dozen or twenty a year. If he earns such extra money every day, he will become the richest man in China in a few years.

Chen Qi yawned, looked out of the plane window, and found that there were large farms underneath, endless fields, only machines were farming.

Even in the 1980s, the farm in this country has entered the era of mechanization.

It seems that this is some large agricultural state, and there are basically no high-rise buildings. How could the headquarters of the Mayo Clinic be built in such a small city in a northern state?

This really made Chen Qi strange.

Professor Dewey sat up straight. As a Mayo doctor, he has enough self-confidence in the medical field, so he proudly introduced:

"Rochester, where our Mayo Clinic headquarters is located, is a small city with a population of less than 100,000 people. Even in China, it is only a small fourth-tier city. Let's put it this way, almost the entire city's residents are working for Mayo Clinic. Austrian clinic direct or indirect services."

Chen Qi was a little surprised: "No way, does a hospital need more than 100,000 employees? How big is this hospital?"

The "Zheng University First Affiliated Hospital", which later became known as the largest hospital in the universe, only had more than 11,000 employees. Could it be that the scale of the Mayo Clinic is 10 times that of the Zheng University First Affiliated Hospital?

"No, no, no, Chen, it's not what you understand. There are only 4,000 doctors in the Mayo Clinic headquarters plus several branches, but nearly 3 million tourists flock to downtown Rochester every year, and nearly three-quarters of them are tourists. Is a patient or a family member of a patient.

Medical tourism may not be pleasant enough, but it actually brings huge income to Rochester and Minnesota, such as expensive international hotels, catering, transportation and other services, which have created a large number of jobs. "

Chen Qi thought, there won't be expensive scalpers, right? One number will add you thousands of dollars, whether you want it or not.

When it comes to Mayo Clinic, everyone may not have an intuitive impression of how many doctors, how many inpatient departments, how many beds, and how many scientific research achievements there are.

But we can take another example from another awesome place, for example, let's take a year's revenue.

In Chen Qi's previous life, the annual revenue of Mayo Clinic was 15.7 billion US dollars, and the annual turnover of the best Union Hospital in China was about 10 billion RMB, which was about 1.5 billion US dollars.

The problem is that Mayo's US$15.7 billion is just business revenue, and they also have an unimaginable amount of various "sponsorship fees".

Those rich people want to come to the Mayo Clinic to treat their diseases and enjoy the special services of top experts. It is not enough for you to pay for medical expenses. They also need to sponsor millions to hundreds of millions of dollars through some foundations. wait.

Money has everything, capitalism is so realistic.

For example, Mr. Jay Alex, an entrepreneur in Michigan, donated 200 million US dollars to the Mayo Clinic in one breath.

This is the largest donation ever received by Mayo Clinic.

For this reason, the medical school under Mayo Clinic was renamed Mayo Clinic Alex School of Medicine directly, and Alex will also be invited to become a member of the Mayo Clinic Board of Directors.

Is this Jay Alex stupid? How much money is burned?

But with this 200 million US dollars, Alex's family will not have to worry about life, old age, sickness and death in the future. It is definitely VIP treatment here at Mayo.

So this money, for the rich, it is worthwhile to spend 200 million US dollars to buy a guarantee.

When you go to the Mayo Clinic to see a doctor, don't tell me which country's president or prime minister you are, or which celebrity you are. I'm sorry, there is no shortage of celebrities in the political, business, and entertainment circles at the Mayo Clinic, and they won't ignore you at all.

Of course, their clinical skills are also very remarkable, ranking first in the world, diseases that Mayo can't treat, basically...uh...you can eat whatever you want when you go home.

The high income of the entire hospital at Mayo Clinic will naturally be fed back to the doctors, so the average annual salary of Mayo doctors is around US$600,000.

This is the annual salary. As for the "sponsorship fees" you get for participating in any subjects or clinical trials, the "knife fees" you fly around the world, etc., these are all owned by your doctor.

There will not be a bad country government, or the Mayo Clinic will force you to pay the flying knife fee, saying that it is public money.

Compared with these extra money, Dr. Mayo's salary is nothing at all, even if he doesn't pay it, it's okay.

Because just relying on the word "Dr. Mayo", the sponsorship you get will make you count the money and your hand will twitch, and the cost of flying knife is several times that of other doctors.

Why is it said that Mayo, or Mayo, can attract top doctors from all over the world to work? To become the Holy Land Mecca in the eyes of doctors all over the world?

What is the learning atmosphere, scientific research level, and clinical technology? These are all secondary. The most important thing is the "money ability", because coming to Mayo, you get too much money.

To give another simple example, in 1986, Chen Qi was working in a domestic hospital. He was still at the level of director, and his annual salary was only more than 3,000 yuan, which was only a few hundred dollars, less than 1,000.

But as long as you go abroad, as long as you can pass the medical license examination in the United States, you can immediately get a starting annual salary of 100,000 US dollars at the Mayo Clinic. Even in ordinary hospitals, the annual salary is more than 50,000 US dollars.

How many people can withstand such a temptation?

What you talk about is doctrine, what you think about in your heart is business, talking about money is not shameful, but if you like money and pretend not to love money, hypocrisy makes people speechless.

The moon in a foreign country is not rounder than in China, but the dollar in a foreign country is really fragrant. Otherwise, why would everyone go abroad one after another?

In pursuit of freedom? equality?

Are you kidding me, who is your equal? You yellow people are second-class or third-class people.

As for freedom, it's even more ridiculous. For freedom, you, a domestic doctor or a domestic professor, go to Chinatown to wash dishes?

Is this freedom?

This is because washing dishes is more profitable than taking a scalpel, so you came out.

You want to be free, why don't you go to Uganda? Why not go to Ukraine? Why don't you go to Mexico? Why do you have to go to the country of death?

Okay, let's talk about the Mayo Clinic, some people will definitely complain. You said that Mayo Clinic is so good and foreign countries are so good, is it 500,000 walking? Is the penny lackey?

Let's give another example.

Mayo Clinic has this good, that good, and all kinds of good. There is one bad thing, that is, it is not friendly to the poor.

Mayo Clinic has 1.5 million outpatient visits a year, while Union Hospital in China has more than 450 outpatient and emergency visits a year.

Concord is 3 times that of Mayo.

Then why is Mayo Clinic's revenue 10 times that of Concord?

This is because the people who go to the Mayo Clinic to see a doctor are all rich people, and the average medical expenses alone are tens of thousands of dollars, not counting the sponsorship fees given behind the scenes.

For example, in 2022, a lobectomy will cost around 20,000 to 30,000 RMB in China.

If you are at the Mayo Clinic, the same lobectomy can cost as much as $600,000 to $800,000, and the revenue gap between them is clear at a glance.

Therefore, it is basically hopeless for poor people in all countries in the world to go to the Mayo Clinic for medical treatment, unless you are a coal boss.

For ordinary people, what is needed is not the Mayo Clinic, but a relatively civilian hospital like Xiehe Hospital.

(Why do you say relative? Anyway, anyone who has been to Xiehe Hospital and has been hospitalized knows that this is not a simple matter, but it is much, much better than Mayo.)

Although Mayo is good, it is not unattainable for ordinary people. He almost only serves the rich.

Of course there are exceptions. If you have a strange and intractable disease, Dr. Mayo will definitely be very interested in it, and maybe give you free treatment.

When your patient is gone, this disease will be named after you, which is considered a glorious ancestor, Khan.

Chen Qi and Professor Dewey were chatting about the history and anecdotes of Mayo Clinic. The plane had already landed at Rochester Airport.

After getting off the plane and taking a few deep breaths of free air, Chen Qi took his box containing the parasite specimens and followed Professor Dewey to the Mayo Clinic.

Yes, Chen Qi traveled across the entire country, just to help the African Medical Corps with this parasite project.

His visa in the U.S. is only 15 days long, and the time is very tight. He doesn't have time to search for relevant experts all over the world, not to mention that he doesn't know any experts on parasites.

Getting off the highway, the car quickly drove into a garden-like complex of buildings. Despite the cold weather, Chen Qi still rolled down the windows.

Professor Dewey kept pointing in the car:

"Hey Chen, that's the surgical area. This building is the internal medicine laboratory building. The library you just passed by is the library. Look over there, it's the infectious disease area. All the parasite experts you're looking for are there, and they're kept in the whole world. Best professional doctor."

Chen Qi let out a deep breath.

This is the first time in his two lifetimes that he came to the "Holy Land Mecca" in the eyes of medical students and the "Supreme Court of Medical Diagnosis" in the eyes of patients.

If it is the previous life, don't give him a chance to work at Mayo, even if you let him come to study, he will come here without hesitation.

But in this life, Chen Qi has his own golden finger. As long as he completes the accumulation of primitive capital and has a certain network of contacts in China, he also wants to open an Oriental Mayo Clinic.

For a young man with only a few million dollars in his pocket, if he wants to surpass this hospital with an annual revenue of tens of billions of dollars, Chen Qi needs to work hard.

Getting out of the car, Chen Qi followed Professor Dewey into the building, went directly to a laboratory, and found a female expert who was working.

"Hey Carrie, stop what you're doing, I have a buddy who needs your help."

Professor Dewey turned around at this time, and said softly to Chen Qi:

"The lady in front of me is Professor Kerry, who is also the director of the Mayo Institute of Parasitology. She is an absolute authority in the world, and she is also my college classmate."

Professor Kerry is a woman in her fifties, wearing a white coat and eyes, her hair permed into the most popular style nowadays, she raised her head when she heard the voice.

"Hey Dewey, long time no see, when did your plastic surgery department need help from our parasitology department? Hehe, this young man is."

Professor Dewey stepped aside,

"This is a surgeon from Huaguo. He is also a dual director of our ICPF society and FSSH society. He is very remarkable at a young age. He also participated in the Huaguo Aid Africa Medical Mission. No, I have a problem with African parasites and I want to ask for advice. hit you."

Chen Qi took a step forward and enthusiastically held the female professor's hand:

"Professor Kerry, very nice to meet you."
