Everything for Learning

weekend.

Columbia University Medical School Community Health Program.

Adam, Iliad, and Bianca, this trio, came to this health clinic to do their weekly medical internships.

In medicine, clinical practice is extremely important, especially for doctors.

So even though the first two years are mainly about learning theory, there are still various internships every week that allow medical students to get in touch with clinical aspects.

There is a difference between a cadaver and a real person.

To understand human anatomy, one must have real people as a reference.

In health clinics, teaming up to check each other's health is also an important learning activity.

Hi, Jenny.

"Hi, Adam."

How was your week?

"Very well, what about you? You won't come out no matter what I ask you to. What have you been up to?"

"What else can we do? Study, of course. Don't you know how tough it is for us medical students?"

"Don't overwork yourself; your health is the most important thing."

"Thanks."

"..."

Adam led the way into the health clinic, greeted the receptionist, and received a warm response. The conversation between the two made Iliad and Bianca, who were behind Adam, twitch at the corners of their mouths.

Is Dr. Daisy here?

Feeling Iliad tugging at his clothes from behind, Adam changed the subject and got to the point.

"Yes, come with me."

Jenny, the receptionist, gave Adam a somewhat resentful look before getting up and leading them inside.

This is one of the teaching and internship sites of Columbia University Medical School.

Dr. Daisy is the person in charge here.

"This is an endoscope."

After everyone exchanged pleasantries, Dr. Daisy took out an L-shaped medical instrument and demonstrated, "You should examine each other's heads, ears, noses, and mouths like this."

As he spoke, he inserted the endoscope probe into Adam's nose, who was acting as a model. "You need to open the nose up a little, and then look inside, and you can see the beautiful inferior turbinates."

After the demonstration, Dr. Daisy handed the endoscope to Iliad and instructed, "Like this, extend it inwards at the appropriate positions to observe whatever you want. Carefully refer to the theories you learned in your textbooks. Don't call me unless necessary, understand?"

"Know!"

Adam and the other two quickly responded.

After Dr. Daisy left, Iliad came over with an endoscope and said with a smile, "Don't move, let us take a look at your beautiful inferior turbinate."

Adam smiled and sat there, letting the Iliad observe him.

Since everyone has to be a model, there's no escaping it.

Moreover, this is learning, a very serious and proper matter.

If you're going to be so hesitant about this, then you might as well not study medicine at all.

Because modern clinical medicine is based on the structure of the human body, the first step in studying medicine is to study the human body. Regardless of gender, there are far more embarrassing things than this.

For example, when learning about gynecology, Adam and his classmates had to study using mannequins.

When Ross's lesbian ex-wife was about to give birth, Ross rushed to be with her. While waiting, he casually picked up a device that looked like a duck's beak and played with it, opening and closing it as if a duck was talking.

It wasn't until Carol pointed out what it was for that Ross was so frightened that he threw it away.

That's so damn embarrassing.

But Adam and his group surrounded the human model, taking turns holding the speculum and operating it to observe, following the professor's instructions.

What an atmosphere that was!

Therefore, a professional attitude is essential for studying medicine.

The more embarrassed and unnatural you are, the more you're overthinking things, and not even about professional matters, which can easily give patients a bad impression.

If you're even uglier, people might think you're a pervert and sue you.

Of course, this professional attitude requires specialized learning and a long period of training to cultivate.

At this stage, Adam is doing alright, but Iliad and the others are not doing so well.

They were particularly uncomfortable when Adam held the endoscope and observed them.

Forget about the head, ears, and nose.

When their mouths were examined, Iliad and Bianca blushed instantly, causing Adam to lose his professional demeanor and some distracting thoughts to flash through his mind.

Fortunately, Adam was a seasoned veteran of battles and possessed excellent acting skills. In order to avoid an awkward situation and ensure that the learning could continue, he forcibly suppressed his distracting thoughts and nonchalantly used the endoscope to examine their mouths one by one.

With this buffer time and the influence of a sufficiently professional attitude, Iliad and Bianca were finally brought into the zone by Adam.

Without distractions, these examinations are actually quite ordinary and normal.

The three of them checked and discussed each other's work, and benefited greatly.

If possible, Adam would love to take the endoscope back and observe Chandler and the others one by one as models.

After all, the more samples you have, the broader your knowledge becomes, and the better your learning will be.

Unfortunately, these instruments are all permanently located in the outpatient clinic and cannot be taken back to you.

As for purchasing?

Such small instruments are fine, but when it comes to large instruments that cost hundreds of thousands or even millions, would Adam really buy them all just to learn about them?

That's simply unrealistic.

So Adam never intended to use this method from the beginning; he just did things the way they were supposed to.

With his current skill level and reputation, he would seize any opportunity to put his skills into practice immediately, so he wouldn't be short of a few more chances.

However, this reminded Adam of Heather, and he felt a great pity.

If Heather were still alive, many of the tests could have been conducted using a professional model for her to practice and observe.

After all, there are still significant differences between a human model and a real human body.

Adam and his colleagues would then be working with real human bodies, and it would be best to start their research with real human bodies.

As for Iliad and Bianca, no matter how professional they are, there are many things they are not suitable to study and discuss together.

"Huh? Juno?"

Adam suddenly thought of Juno, and was initially delighted, but then he thought of Karen, and his face fell.

Juno is also a medical student, and given her personality, she would most likely agree if Adam suggested mutual examination and research. However, it's hard to say about Karen, who has been following along all along.

They might suddenly stab Adam in the back.

Let's forget about it.

"Looks like I need a new female More Than Friends, Less Than Lovers."

Adam thought to himself, "It's all for learning!"

First, this person must meet Adam's aesthetic standards.

After all, when you're out and about, you can disregard many things, but you still need to maintain your aesthetic sense.

Secondly, she needs to agree with his views on love.

This is where things get more difficult.

Iliad and Bianca both fit Adam's aesthetic preferences, and as classmates, they were a perfect match for in-depth learning. However, according to Adam's observation, they were both inexperienced and overly meticulous.

Since Heather, Adam, having come to terms with himself, now least wants to mess with girls like her.

So we had no choice but to give up.

So.

Who else?

P. S.: There should be more tonight.
