I, Doctor in the US

Chapter 220: Little Motor! What destroyed his family?


Youth is invincible.

That's not just something people say for the sake of it.

Jessica Alba really surprised Zhou Mo Sen.

He didn't expect this girl to have such energy.

In comparison, Zhou Mo Sen... had no cheat code this time.

Once her little electric motor started running, it was quite something.

Of course, it wasn't just about this deep conversation.

They also discussed other topics.

Like movies.

"What do you think about the movie 'Sin City'?"

"The movie is not bad, but your leading actress doesn't seem striking enough."

"Ah? How can that be?"

"That's just how Quentin is."

Zhou Mo Sen had to speak honestly, but once he said this,

Jessica Alba naturally didn't feel good about it.

Clearly, she had worked really hard.

Just like now...

At this moment, Zhou Mo Sen still couldn't take the blame.

But seeing Jessica like this, he had to comfort her.

"Actually, as long as you keep working hard, you'll have a lot of fans, and..."

"And what?"

"I also invested in movies."

"Ah? You also invested in movies? Aren't you a doctor?"

"Why? Can't doctors invest in movies?"

As they chatted like this, the atmosphere greatly improved.

Jessica also realized that Zhou Mo Sen seemed like a nice guy.

What he meant was: even if Jessica didn't have movie roles, he, Zhou Mo Sen, would support her.

This was physical support for now.

Such being the case, there was a rather tender sweetness.

Just then, Zhou Mo Sen received a call, and he couldn't stay with Jessica any longer.

And Jessica?

"If I become a big star, I definitely won't be staying here."

What did that mean?

Zhou Mo Sen smiled, "Then I better hurry while I have the chance."

As soon as he said this, Jessica giggled sweetly, her face turning red.

What exactly were they talking about?

Actually, it was just, if Jessica became a big star.

It would be much harder to have such intimate moments in the future.

So Zhou Mo Sen's response was to hurry while he can.

This guy sure had good reading comprehension.

But, was he planning to become a master of time management next?

Who knows?

In any case, he had to leave for now.

Because of the things happening in San Diego, he had to get involved.

...

The death of the Fulton's daughter.

Indeed came as a surprise to many people.

But the events that followed became increasingly complicated.

The Fultons were facing a huge problem.

The United States' child welfare agencies can be extremely difficult to deal with.

The biggest issue here is that Tia did use Oxycodone.

And a lot of times, it was used at home.

Was it over the limit?

Plus, were there any other medications?

Was this medication use truly reasonable?

If there's a problem, those child welfare agency folks could cause trouble.

Now, as Zhou Mo Sen returned to San Diego,

he directly got in touch with this guy, Oden.

The result was…

"Ah? They've found Oxycodone?"

"Yes."

"But, wasn't it prescribed in the hospital before?"

"Dr. Zhou, you're a doctor, don't you understand, the dosage is key?"

"Oh."

Zhou Mo Sen had a brief chat with Oden and got a rough idea.

It was probably because the Fultons didn't control the dosage of Oxycodone well.

But honestly, with such drugs, once management loosens.

Actually, no one can control the dosage well.

This control… everyone actually understands it in their hearts.

Control my ass!

Even those who haven't seen it can understand by watching 'Dr. House.'

Mind you, that guy Dr. House only took Vicodin.

However, in the case of the Fulton family,

Zhou Mo Sen was inclined to believe, this couple should have had some control over their child's medication.

After all, Fulton himself was the guy promoting this drug.

So…

"Dr. Zhou, is there a way?"

"I say, are you trying to handle another case?"

"I'm not sure because... I heard they didn't use insurance."

"Oh."

Zhou Mo Sen further understood an impressive piece of information.

The situation in the United States is quite messed up, especially with medical charges.

Not to mention whether it's expensive.

Just the bill itself, not given to the patient or family immediately, but sent later.

This is just incredible!

Because of such a procedure, many public figures once thought seeing a doctor in the U.S. was free.

It truly added many articles to magazines like 'Reader' and 'Yilin.'

Even more, years later, some people still praised the idea of free medical care in the U.S.

It's probably those who haven't been in the U.S. for long.

Let me put it this way, anyone who has received an American hospital bill certainly won't be smiling.

Even the average folks in the U.S. often curse about it.

For private clinics like Zhou Mo Sen's, it's relatively better. Actually, private clinics can also enter the insurance system, but, Zhou Mo Sen's cosmetic clinic isn't quite there.

Entering the insurance system for hospitals means at least a base cost of 60,000 dollars a year.

60,000 dollars, and that's just one insurance company.

Clearly, cost lies on the back of the sheep.

Therefore, not using insurance can sometimes be cheaper.

This is how private clinics manage to survive.

And now, in regard to the Fultons.

The implication of Oden's words was that they probably didn't have much money left.

But if that's the case, why did Oden come over?

"No matter what, Mr. Fulton is Purdue Pharmaceutical's top person in San Diego."

So, this guy wants to squeeze the last drop of blood from them?

Zhou Mo Sen really wanted to laugh after hearing this, but right now, serious matters were at hand.

"Arrange a meeting for me to see Mr. Fulton."

"Oh, understand. But…" Oden hesitated a bit, "can you really save them?"

Save? How could he save them?

Zhou Mo Sen smiled, "Who said I was going to save them."

Oden was startled by Dr. Zhou's gaze.

So, let's make the arrangements.

Once Zhou Mo Sen met the Fultons,

Dr. Zhou was quite direct, "If you want to avoid jail, there's only one way, which is to use medical means to prove that Tia's death wasn't because of Oxycodone, but because of her disease, or… push the blame further onto a medical malpractice at San Diego Center Hospital!"

With this statement, anyone would know what to do.

The Fultons immediately saw Zhou Mo Sen as their last straw to clutch at.

"Dr. Zhou, please help us, and… I'll give you the best gift."

Was Mr. Fulton planning to bribe Zhou Mo Sen with a gift?

Zhou Mo Sen smiled, "Think carefully about what made your home end up like this."

What? Does he need to think about it?

Fulton actually already knew, "Oxycodone!"

This drug allowed him to live in a high-end neighborhood, but it also destroyed his family!
