I, Doctor in the US
Chapter 309 308: Swine Flu?!
UCLA Medical Center.
Zhou Mo Sen came here and felt it was different from before.
"Ah, Dr. Zhou."
"Dr. Zhou is here."
"Dr. Zhou, is there any new project recently?"
"Dr. Zhou, can you give me an autograph?"
Looking at the stance of these female nurses and doctors, my value as Zhou Mo Sen is on the rise.
Of course, this guy wouldn't really give out autographs.
Just chatted with them a bit.
After all, we are familiar with each other.
But this scene…
"Professor Hansen has been waiting for a long time!"
Sidney's appearance forced Zhou Mo Sen to end the conversation with these 'acquaintances'.
And judging by her expression, it seemed this matter was very important.
Zhou Mo Sen had no choice but to put away his playful attitude and follow her to Hansen.
"Oh, you're back, haha…"
Professor Hansen was somewhat different than before, this guy wore a smile as soon as he saw Zhou Mo Sen.
Seeing this smile, Zhou Mo Sen immediately became alert.
This old guy is definitely up to something big!
Anyway, based on previous experiences about medical matters with Hansen.
Almost every time, it was a big deal.
"I'm back."
Zhou Mo Sen said this without much enthusiasm.
Sidney, beside him, also looked a bit unnatural, but probably couldn't stand Zhou Mo Sen's demeanor.
Also, this guy… went to France and got involved with that Scarlett Johnson!
That's right!
Now this rumor has caused quite a stir in the United States.
However, interestingly.
Currently online, the netizens' opinions on the rumor between Zhou Mo Sen and Scarlett Johnson.
People's reactions were actually quite positive!
Of course, in the beginning, there were all sorts of random comments.
Many people criticized.
How did a white girl get involved with an Asian guy?
Yes, never believe it when those foreigners say there's no racial discrimination.
Never, ever.
Those guys are rotten to the core.
And naturally, this statement was quickly suppressed.
The internet is a big stage.
In the United States, you can say other things, but when it comes to these issues, even though Chinese people are often bullied.
It can't be too obvious.
Thus, the topic shifted.
Are Zhou Mo Sen and Scarlett Johnson a match?
This match, in a capitalist country.
Appearance certainly needs to be considered.
But mainly, it's about financial status.
And reputation issues.
That's right, mainly these issues.
And the least important, actually, is age.
Zhou Mo Sen is indeed more than ten years older than Scarlett Johnson.
Although when they stand together, there doesn't seem to be much of an age difference.
On one hand, because Scarlett Johnson appears mature.
Many of her fans don't know she's only 20 this year.
And Zhou Mo Sen, being Chinese, we Chinese generally look younger than foreigners.
Actually, about age…
White people really show their age, in a generally noticeable way.
Although some people certainly can look younger.
For example, Naomi Watts, many people can't tell her true age.
But such examples like Naomi Watts are actually very few.
Plus, in Europe and America, people consume way too much sugar.
In short, white people generally show their age.
As for black people, it varies by individual.
Some black people tend to age well, like Sky Hook Jabbar.
He's not young anymore, but when he makes appearances, many are surprised.
Of course, Jabbar would say it's because he learned from his master Bruce Lee.
Then there's us Chinese.
Really, generally looking younger.
And it's not just an Asian concept.
In Japan, people there age quickly too, especially men, whose faces wrinkle early.
Some say it's due to the societal pressure in that country, men being exhausted early.
And Southeast Asia is also not very good at resisting age.
So, truly aging well has to be us Chinese.
There are studies on this, especially from a genetic perspective.
But these studies… in Europe and America, such research isn't really a good thing.
Yet Zhou Mo Sen couldn't do much, because he couldn't stop some immigrants who came for meager rewards, doing things like drug trials.
To put it plainly, there's really no way.
But back to the rumor of Zhou Mo Sen and Scarlett Johnson…
Doesn't it come down to their financial situations!
Comparing like this…
Many people are actually siding with Zhou Mo Sen!
Yes, Zhou Mo Sen is a famous doctor, he earns more than Scarlett Johnson, the actress!
So.
A talented man and a beautiful woman, why should you Americans oppose it?
The online discussion kept changing direction.
And it became increasingly favorable to Zhou Mo Sen.
This matter is strange, but that's also why, when Zhou Mo Sen returned, he was surrounded by many female doctors and nurses.
Except this guy himself didn't even know.
And the current situation?
Professor Hansen called him over, and with Scarlett Johnson, it… should have nothing to do with that, right?
Soon, Professor Hansen handed a document to Zhou Mo Sen.
It was a stack of papers, quite thick.
What's going on?
At first glance, Zhou Mo Sen thought it must be a 'medical case'.
Indeed, upon opening it, he was right.
It was indeed a medical case, but this case was very strange.
Firstly, this person wasn't an American.
It was a Mexican.
But it made sense quickly.
A Mexican who immigrated here.
Such people are very common in the United States.
So it could be considered ordinary.
But what puzzled Zhou Mo Sen was this person's condition.
According to his own statement.
He felt unwell while still in Mexico.
Later, he came to work in the U.S.
Until a few days ago, he couldn't hold on anymore.
After fainting, he was sent to the hospital.
Being sent includes… let's not worry about whether it was an ambulance, or whether it would bankrupt him.
Almost certainly, this guy is in debt for life.
Let's focus on the illness problem.
X-ray.
Yes, you have to look at the X-ray.
This is what we would call a chest X-ray.
But looking at it…
Ground-glass opacity!
Zhou Mo Sen's mind instantly sounded an alarm.
But quickly calmed down.
Actually, this ground-glass appearance isn't exclusive to that virus.
Many types of pneumonia could show such an X-ray.
And also, white lungs can appear like this.
It can be considered a symptom of pneumonia.
Specifically, Zhou Mo Sen wasn't very professional.
That's right, for pneumonia, it should be a case for internal medicine, respiratory departments.
Zhou Mo Sen, as a General Surgery doctor, indeed doesn't fully understand these aspects.
But to say it has no connection would be wrong.
Because if pneumonia develops to the point of requiring surgery, it would relate greatly to General Surgery.
But thinking about surgery...
"Could this patient need surgery from us? A lung transplant? That's impossible."
Zhou Mo Sen's statement wasn't because he didn't want to save lives.
But from the U.S. medical perspective, a lung transplant is really difficult.
Not that the surgery is so hard, but it's tough finding a donor.
The biggest problem with a lung transplant is finding a donor.
We all know the person donating the lung is certainly deceased.
There aren't many donors in the U.S.
Lung transplantation globally is like this.
Considering this person is a Mexican immigrant.
Getting on a transplant list is very difficult.
Professor Hansen shook his head, and he mentioned a name.
"For this patient, I hope to assign you to work with them for some cooperation because I trust your medical skills, and the other party… is Professor Fauci."
Fauci?
This name suddenly brought Zhou Mo Sen back to the pandemic period.
Moreover, another thing exploded in his mind.
Swine flu!
