I Have No Feelings

New York.

Medical Center.

As one of the Teaching Hospital affiliated with Columbia University Medical School, it provides clinical internship opportunities for Columbia University medical students.

"I'm so nervous."

Iliad muttered somewhat uneasily, "This is our first time facing real patients. What if we mess it up? What if I don't know what to do when the patients ask questions? What if they won't let us examine them..."

Bianca, standing to the side, also began to feel uneasy, tugging at her white coat. "It feels a bit like a costume. Are we really going to see patients as doctors?"

"Relax."

Adam reassured them, "This is Teaching Hospital. Everyone who can be examined by us has been notified in advance, and there are teachers with us. Just go ahead and get examined. There's nothing to worry about."

"Right!"

Iliad breathed a sigh of relief, "And if anyone's going to go, it'll be Adam first. Let's see."

Adam glanced at her sideways, thinking to himself, "What a coward!"

With that kind of mental fortitude, not to mention competing with him, even Alice and William over there are much stronger than her.

Her previous display of competitiveness was probably just a facade; she was clearly just Little Red Riding Hood pretending to be the Big Bad Wolf.

"Ethel Hoffman, let me introduce you."

The instructor walked in with a very obese middle-aged African American woman, pointing at Adam: "This is Adam Duncan."

"My memory isn't very good, darling, but this must be your first time here, right?"

Ethel reached out and shook hands with Adam.

"Yes."

Adam shook hands with him and smiled.

"Ha! I knew it!"

Ethel laughed and said, "Even if I lose my memory, I will never forget a doctor as handsome as you."

"OK".

The instructor smiled and reminded her, "Ethel, you'll be spending most of your time with Adam from now on. He'll have discussions with you about the problems you've had since you started coughing, and he'll also give you a medical check-up. Is that alright?"

"Excellent. Normally, I couldn't buy this kind of service even if I spent a lot of money."

"Aitherre joked."

Adam simply smiled.

In other situations, he would probably have retorted.

However, in this situation, he knew that the other person didn't mean anything by it; they just wanted to ease their tension through teasing and humor.

The torment brought by illness drives many people crazy, but also makes some people more insightful and carefree.

Ethel, on the other hand, was clearly the more insightful and carefree one.

"First, I need to tell you about your cough and why you came to see the doctor. Then I will examine you, starting with your back. Please take off your shirt and put on the hospital gown we provide."

Adam spoke clearly and calmly, "There's an opening at the back, so you don't need to change your skirt or anything. Please come this way."

"I don't have to be naked?"

Aither looked around at everyone and said humorously, "Do you want to see this old bone of mine?"

"Need not."

Iliad and Bianca quickly explained, "We'll draw the curtains."

"Ha ha."

Ethel laughed and took the hospital gown to change behind the curtain.

"First, I need to measure your vital signs."

As Adam examined her, he took her pulse with his hand, then came behind her and tapped her back twice with his hand. Finally, he listened to her lungs with a stethoscope.

He summarized the information he had gathered with his supervisor and shared his thoughts.

"Very good."

The supervising teacher gave it high praise.

This gave Iliad and Bianca a jolt of excitement. The routine didn't seem difficult at all, and they felt they could do it too.

Then, when the next patient arrived, they were immediately dumbfounded.

Because not every patient is so good-natured.

"I don't want this person to treat me. I want to keep this unprofessional person away from me!"

"Excuse me, sir, this is Teaching Hospital. As doctors, we have the right to allow students to be examined first."

The supervising teacher said calmly, "If you don't agree, we'll have to ask you to leave."

Seeing this, the patient could only grumble and curse as he underwent Iliad's examination.

Iliad became even more nervous, stammering as she asked questions, which only made the patient ramble on. By the time Iliad finished, her forehead was covered in sweat.

"Don't worry about it. That's just how patients are. They always want the best and most professional treatment, but they don't realize that if they don't give medical students any opportunity to practice, how can they get the best and most professional treatment?"

The supervising teacher smiled and comforted him.

"Bullshit!"

The patient sneered, "It's only because we poor people have no choice. If you're so capable, why don't you let those rich people give these medical students a chance to practice? Using us as practice subjects, providing the rich with the best and most professional treatment, and you still have the nerve to say that's how we are!"

"Teaching Hospital are all like this. No matter if you are rich or poor, you only have one identity when you come here: you are a patient."

The supervising teacher smiled.

Adam nodded to himself; this approach was worth learning.

The East Country values the treatment's effectiveness more; a good attitude is not the most important factor.

In the United States, doctors must have a good attitude towards patients. This is more important than medical skills and treatment efficacy. Conflicts with patients must be avoided at all costs. Everything should be done according to procedure. Whether the treatment is effective or not is another matter.

Whether this is good or bad is a matter of opinion...

But Adam reminded himself again to do as the Romans do. This is just a job. Don't get carried away. I'm a professional. No emotions involved!

Here, Adam is trying to become an emotionless professional.

there.

The Cabin in the Woods.

As the dose of sedatives decreased, Amazing Amy regained a faint connection with her body, which gave her a little more hope for survival.

Then she regretted it.

I'll just briefly recount what happened; why did I go into so much detail earlier?

Moreover, after hearing her "explosive" thoughts, Juno and the others went out immediately, clearly to discuss how to deal with her.

"Oh no!"

Amazing Amy harbored resentment. Putting herself in Juno's shoes, she realized that if she were Juno or the others, she would definitely be extremely wary after learning that the other party was scheming to take revenge on her.

Her diary entries about Adam, her impending move to New York, and her revenge against her ex-boyfriend—given Juno and the others' strange feelings for Adam, will they really leave her a way out?

If only she had taken the gamble, anyone with a keen eye could have found out about her ex-boyfriend's physical prowess. But the evidence she fabricated was 'perfect.' If she hadn't said it herself, who would have guessed?

"Damn it!"

If she weren't already unable to move, she probably would have slapped herself twice.

A wise man can make a foolish mistake in a moment!

If she hadn't been so sharp-tongued and exposed herself, Juno and the others probably just wanted to scare her. Otherwise, why would they only talk and not do anything?

"No! I can't just sit here and wait to die! I still have a chance! I'm Amazing Amy!"

The sky cleared and the rain stopped, and she felt like she could do it again.
