The big dog owner gave too much.

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

At the same time, as a director of two university associations, he performed 7 more teaching surgeries, with an average of 10 surgeries a day, which made him go crazy.

No, Chen Qi, who had an unshaven beard and two panda eyes, was sitting on the plane heading to Rochester, Minnesota, grinning the whole time.

Can he be unhappy? 23 flying knife surgeries generated a total income of US$1.5 million for him.

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

The other seven teaching surgeries only have a basic labor fee of US$10,000, but the total cost reaches US$70,000.

In addition, the night before leaving San Francisco, Yuto Takada, the boss of the Japanese Sysmex genetic testing company, gave Chen Qi an additional $200,000 as a thank you fee.

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

What more bicycles do you want?

In his previous life, when Chen Qi was a junior doctor, he often went to other places to perform surgery with his mentor, who was a well-known expert in the province. The red envelope for one operation was 10,000 yuan, and the local hospital would often prepare 10 operations.

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

And oneself.

With this money, it's basically enough to fall in love, buy a house, and occasionally give 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 speculation. With an income of more than ten or two hundred thousand, go back to your hometown as soon as possible.

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

You must know that studying medicine is really difficult. The pile of textbooks is so thick that it is taller than an adult, and there is no key point. Basically, they are all content that needs to be "recited" or "mastered".

When others were kissing and doing exercises with their girlfriends in the hotel, Chen Qi often studied hard under the desk lamp late at night, just to have a better life in the future, earn more money, and afford a house in the provincial capital.

.

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

As a result, in his previous life, Chen Qi died of overwork before he could become an expert.

Unexpectedly, I would be reborn in the 1980s, but by some strange combination of circumstances, I would get international knife flying fees, and I would be given US dollars at every turn. This kind of material and spiritual satisfaction, not to mention how happy I am.

This is probably God's compensation for his hard work in his previous life.

It's a pity that this kind of top-notch flying knife surgery can only be performed more than ten or twenty times a year. If he makes extra money like this every day, he will become the richest man in China in a few years.

Wait, it seems a bit dangerous to be the richest man in China, I definitely can’t be...

Chen Qi yawned and looked out of the airplane window. He found that there were large farms underneath, with endless fields and only machines cultivating them.

Even in the 1980s, this country's farms have already entered the mechanization era.

It seems that this is a large agricultural state with almost no high-rise buildings. How could the Mayo Clinic headquarters be built in such a small city in a northern state?

This really makes Chen Qi strange.

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

"The city of Rochester, where our Mayo Clinic headquarters is located, is a small city with a population of less than 100,000. Even in the United States, it is only a fourth-tier small city. To describe it this way, almost the entire city's residents are praying for Mayo Clinic.

Ao Clinic provides 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 "First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University", which later became known as the largest hospital in the world, had only a few employees. Is the scale of Mayo Clinic 10 times that of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University?

"No, no, no, Chen, it's not what you understand. The Mayo Clinic headquarters plus several branches only have a total of 4,000 doctors, but nearly 3 million tourists flock to downtown Rochester every year, nearly three-quarters of them.

Is the patient or the patient’s family member?

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 create a large number of jobs."

Chen Qi thought to himself, there won’t be any expensive scalpers, right? One account will cost you thousands of dollars, do you want it?

When it comes to the 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 give an example from another awesome place. For example, let’s take a year’s revenue.

In Chen Qi's previous life, Mayo Clinic's annual revenue was 15.7 billion U.S. dollars. Union Hospital, the best in the country, had an annual turnover of about 10 billion yuan, or about 1.5 billion U.S. dollars.

The problem is that Mayo's US$15.7 billion is just business revenue. They also have unimaginable amounts of huge "sponsorship fees".

Those wealthy people want to come to the Mayo Clinic for treatment and enjoy the special services of top experts. It is not enough for you to pay some medical fees. You also need to sponsor several million to hundreds of millions of dollars in additional through some foundations.

Wait.

If you have money, you have everything. Capitalism is such a reality.

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

This is the largest donation the Mayo Clinic has ever received.

To this end, the medical school affiliated with the Mayo Clinic will be directly renamed Mayo Clinic Alex School of Medicine, 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 does he have to burn?

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

Therefore, for the rich, this money is worth spending, and 200 million US dollars can buy a guarantee.

When you go to the Mayo Clinic to see a doctor, don't mention which country's president, prime minister, or celebrity you are. Sorry, there is no shortage of celebrities from the political, business, and entertainment circles at the Mayo Clinic, and they won't look down on you at all.<

/p>

Of course, their clinical skills are also very impressive, ranking No. 1 in the world, and Mayo cannot treat diseases that are not treatable. Basically... uh... just eat whatever you need to eat when you go home.

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

This is your annual salary. As for the "sponsorship fees" you receive from any topics or clinical experiments you participate in, the "knife fees" you get from flying around the world, etc., these are all owned by your doctor personally.

There won't be a bad government or the Mayo Clinic forcing you to hand over the knife fee, saying it's public money.

Compared with this extra money, Dr. Mayo's salary is nothing at all, even if it is not paid, it will be no problem.

Because just with the words "Doctor Mayo", the sponsorship you get will make your hands tingle when you count the money, and the knife fee is several times that of other doctors.

Why can China or Mayo attract top doctors from all over the world to work? Become the Mecca for doctors all over the world?

What about the learning atmosphere, scientific research level, and clinical technology? These are all secondary. The most important thing is "money ability", because when you come 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 dean, and his annual salary income was only more than 3,000 yuan, which was only a few hundred dollars, less than a thousand dollars.

But as long as you go abroad and pass the country's medical licensing exam, you can immediately get a starting annual salary of US$100,000 at the Mayo Clinic. Even in an ordinary hospital, the annual salary is more than US$50,000.

How many people can withstand such temptation?

What you talk about is doctrine, but what you think about is business. There is no shame in talking about money, but people who like money but pretend not to love money are hypocritical people who make people speechless.

The moon in foreign countries is not rounder than in China, but the U.S. dollars in foreign countries are really fragrant. Otherwise, why would everyone keep going abroad?

In pursuit of freedom? Equality?

Are you kidding me? Who in America is equal to you? You yellow people are second- or third-class people.

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

Is this freedom?

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

If you want freedom, why don’t you go to Uganda? Why don’t you go to Ukraine? Why don’t you go to Mexico? Why do you have to run to a bad country?

Okay, back to the Mayo Clinic, some people are definitely going to complain. If you say that Mayo is so good and so good abroad, are you just walking around with 500,000? Are you a cent-stooge?

Let’s give another example.

The Mayo Clinic is good for one thing and good for another, but there is one bad thing about it, that is, it is not friendly to the poor.

The Mayo Clinic handles 1.5 million outpatient visits a year, while the domestic Union Medical College Hospital handles more than 450 outpatient and emergency visits a year.

Concord is 3 times that of Mayo.

So why is Mayo Clinic’s revenue 10 times that of Concordia?

This is because all the people who go to the Mayo Clinic for medical treatment are wealthy 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 in China will only cost about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

If you go to the Mayo Clinic, the charge for the same lobectomy can be as high as $600,000 to $800,000, and the revenue gap is clear at a glance.

Therefore, it is basically hopeless for poor people around the world to seek medical treatment at the Mayo Clinic, unless you are like a coal boss.

For ordinary people, what they need is not the Mayo Clinic, but a relatively civilian hospital like Union Hospital.

(Why do I say relative? Anyone who has been to Xiehe Medical University and has been hospitalized knows that this is not a simple matter, but it is still much better than Mayo.)

Although Mayo is good, he is not beyond the reach of ordinary people. He almost only serves the rich.

Of course there are exceptions. If you have a weird and difficult disease, Dr. Mayo will definitely be interested in it and may even treat you for free.

When your patients are gone, this disease will be named after you, which can be regarded as a glorious achievement, Khan.

While Chen Qi and Professor Dewey were chatting about the history of the Mayo Clinic and various anecdotes, the plane had landed at Rochester Municipal Airport.
