F5 Heavenly Group

Columbia University Medical School.

After the oath was taken.

The class of 1995 officially began their medical studies.

The most important thing for freshmen is to learn about the human body.

Without a clear understanding of the human body's structure, it's impossible to talk about modern medicine.

Therefore, anatomy is the focus.

Of course, before actually entering the dissection room, you need to learn the theory first.

The professor used pictures on the podium to demonstrate various structures and tissues of the human body, explaining their functions and characteristics.

Everyone listened intently.

Including Adam.

Even though he had prepared for this for three years and had read and memorized the relevant books, Adam was not complacent and always kept his attention focused.

Watching on your own and having a teacher explain are two different concepts.

Because professors in these top medical schools never teach in a rigid, textbook-based manner.

He would assume that the students had previewed the material, and then expand upon it using the key points from the book, drawing on his profound understanding of medicine over the years and combining it with real-life examples.

These are things that are not in the book.

Or even if it's in a book, as a student, you wouldn't know which book it's in.

There are countless medical books, with new ones published every year. Even experienced Attending Physician and department heads sometimes need to consult books to solve problems.

Being a doctor is a profession that requires lifelong learning; it's no joke.

Therefore, the professors' sequential teaching style requires students to preview a large number of professional books in order to fully understand the material.

Of course, professors usually provide a reading list in advance, which lists the content they will cover in the next class.

If you don't preview the material beforehand, you're very likely to not understand it.

Not being able to understand is definitely a very dangerous sign.

Not every medical student can graduate; many drop out on their own or are expelled.

To keep up with the pace, students need to immerse themselves in the library, reading a large number of professional books, watching videos, and participating in related activities.

This is the root cause of the heavy workload.

And these things all depend on self-discipline. No one is watching you, and if you slack off a little, it won't be noticeable in a short time.

Because during class, someone always rushes to answer the professors' questions.

In this situation, even if they receive the same education and training, the difference between a good doctor and a mediocre doctor becomes immediately apparent when they actually face patients.

Western modern medicine is all standardized. The more you memorize, the more confident you will feel. When you encounter a problem, you can quickly recall relevant knowledge in your mind. If you also have good mental fortitude, it's easy to look like a qualified doctor.

As for the "salted fish doctor" (a term used to describe a doctor who is unqualified or lacks knowledge), once an unexpected situation occurs, his mind goes blank and he becomes completely bewildered.

This is still the internship stage. You have senior resident doctors guiding you, and Attending Physician supporting you from above. It doesn't matter if you're confused; at worst, you'll be sidelined and miss out on many opportunities.

But once the internship is over and you start actually managing patients, a slight mistake or misjudgment could mean the difference between life and death for the patient.

Code name 007, but that's the greatest humiliation for a doctor.

Because you are not fulfilling your duty as a doctor to heal and save lives, but doing the opposite.

Even if you did it unintentionally, it's just because you didn't have enough ability.

But between life and death, there is a lack of ability due to the absence of salted fish, which is a sin.

Of course, if everything is done according to standard procedures, no one will say anything, but unless you are an antisocial person, the shock and self-blame you feel will consume you.

Adam's goal is to become a top surgeon; he works as hard as a bee and has nothing to do with being a lazy bum.

But he is not arrogant or complacent.

Because these accumulated futures all involve life, the patient's life, and Adam's own life.

Does anyone know the answer to this question?

The professor had barely finished speaking.

All of them had their arms raised.

However, Adam is the fastest. While an average person's speed is 100, his is at least 180, so how could he not be fast?

"Duncan."

Sure enough, the professor called Adam's name.

Competition is a constant theme in the medical field; without sufficient competitiveness and self-confidence, one cannot become the best doctor.

Therefore, the medical community strongly encourages competition.

Even if the professor might have preferred to call on Steven Murphy, when Adam the first to raise his hand, and his speed was significantly faster than the others, the professor had no choice but to call on Adam.

However, Adam was not complacent.

These situations are all temporary and relative.

If the professor really wanted to favor someone else, he could Adam stick his hand in front of his face and ignore it without batting an eye.

The reason is simple: we need to give other students a chance.

Because the medical community, while competing, also emphasizes unity and cooperation.

Opposition or opposition is determined by one's own will; this is absolute power.

This is also why Adam tries so hard to maintain his relationship with Rachel's father, Leonard.

He didn't want to be a victim of this kind of power.

Adam answered the question perfectly.

The professor expressed his approval.

For the next period of time, whenever the professor asked a question, Adam was always the first to raise his hand, and he always answered accurately.

However, the professor did not call out all of Adam's names. He began to call out Steven, Iliad, Alice, and William's names one by one. On one occasion, he even called out the name of the girl whose surname was Samson, which Adam recognized.

Every time Adam put his hand down, he thought to himself, "It's just like an idol drama. They only call out the good-looking ones when they're taking attendance."

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Being good-looking naturally attracts attention and makes it easier for professors to notice you.

But this is not so friendly to the other students.

Clearly, Adam wasn't the only one complaining like this.

After a few days of classes, the nickname "F5 Heavenly Group" began to circulate among the new students, which was full of sarcasm.

Adam Duncan.

Steven Murphy.

Alice Kidman.

William Haver.

Iliad Reed.

"Hehe."

When Adam heard Iliad mention the nickname, he couldn't help but laugh, "The four of us are one thing, but Steven has to be included too."

The "F" in F5 is short for "flower," meaning pretty boys and girls, which is a sarcastic remark that Adam and his friends only got most of the opportunities because they were good-looking.

Keep in mind that if you don't frequently make a good impression on your professors, you might end up being assigned to an insignificant little hospital when you graduate and are assigned an internship.

However, small hospitals have limited resources such as equipment and patients, so they don't have access to many unusual and eye-opening cases that can broaden one's horizons and enhance one's resume. This puts them at a significant disadvantage from the start.

Not to mention that after the internship ends, those who go to large hospitals may stay there, while those who go to small hospitals will find it extremely difficult to get a job at a large hospital.

Adam and his group practically filled the professors' field of vision, and the others were incredibly annoyed; it was perfectly normal for them to make a few sarcastic remarks.

"Steven and I are both benefiting from your success."

Iliad said embarrassedly, "Seriously speaking, only F3, you, William, and Alice together can be considered a true top group."

This silly girl actually took that nickname as a compliment.
