Despised
Columbia University Medical School.
"Look here, cheese!"
After receiving their diplomas, the Duncan family started taking lots of photos.
The others were similar.
Four years of hard work, all for this moment today.
Many girls shed tears.
Because these four years have been incredibly difficult.
Many parents also wept with joy.
It is an extremely honorable thing for a family to raise a doctor, and the cost involved is also quite "touching," making it impossible not to shed tears.
What?
Are all medical students taking out their own student loans and absolutely not relying on their parents?
Hehe!
That's an illusion.
It's true that many people take on student loans independently, but many others rely on family support. And those who take on student loans independently aren't all independent individuals; many simply don't have the financial means to support them...
Now it was all worth it.
Therefore, almost all the photos feature students wearing graduation gowns (regardless of the level of graduation, all gowns are called graduation gowns, even high school graduates wear them), holding their Doctor of Medicine certificates open in front of them, definitely in the center position.
The family members who came were not only parents, siblings, and friends, but also boyfriends/girlfriends, fiancés, wives, and even children.
These people, by comparison, were much more excited.
It's so difficult to date or start a family with a medical student.
Now we can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Although the internship salary for the upcoming residency training cannot be compared with that of a real doctor, no more large sums of money will be invested in it. The difference between these two factors is too great.
"Adam, go get the assignment letter!"
Iliad came over and greeted them.
"Good."
Adam told his family and then entered the teaching building with Iliad and the others. Groups of graduates were already walking ahead of them.
At the nurses' station, which was set up like a hospital, everyone went over and took a letter when they heard their name. Inside was the name of the hospital where they were assigned to intern.
Medical internships are naturally a two-way selection process, but top-tier medical schools all have major hospitals as their designated Teaching Hospital.
Therefore, at this time, the distribution system was more important.
Based on your academic performance, the medical school will assign you to hospitals of various levels for residency training, usually in the local area.
For example, most students at Harvard Medical School are assigned to Boston.
Columbia University Medical School are naturally assigned to New York.
Of course, you can choose not to go and instead apply to a hospital for residency training yourself. However, without the help of a medical school, you will need more connections.
Otherwise, the application process will be much more difficult, and the hospitals you can apply to will be much worse than those assigned by medical schools.
This is one of the main reasons why some people have an extreme admiration for senior professors when they are studying in medical school. Not only can they teach you more skills, but they can also arrange your future. How can you not admire them?
"Where are you?"
"Mount Sinai Hospital, and you?"
"Me too."
The group received the envelopes, opened them, and began to discuss them animatedly.
Adam and his team, on the other hand, were much calmer, because their destinations were pre-arranged, and when they opened the package, it turned out to be the surgical department of the Medical Center.
Adam glanced at the several influential figures and, seeing that their expressions hadn't changed much, knew it was probably the same as the pre-arranged decision, and couldn't help but smile.
"They're gone."
Adam waved the envelope at Iliad and Bianca and walked outside.
His whole family is waiting for him.
On this day, Adam led Duncan Corps on a tour of Columbia University, and then New York.
The next day.
Medical Center.
Adam took his family for a full medical check-up, mainly his mother's.
My mom has always been in good health; she gave birth to an entire Duncan basketball team, all naturally.
But when Adam gave birth to his Fifth Brother, Toby, six years ago, he clearly noticed his mother's declining health.
Elderly Gravida is very dangerous.
When she gave birth to her third child Gabe, and her fourth child Charlie, she was able to walk and jump around very quickly after giving birth, and had no problem going to work.
When she gave birth to her Fifth Brother child, Toby, in her forties, she needed a long rest to recover.
This time I'm pregnant with my sixth child, and I'm almost fifty. It's terrifying to even think about it.
Although modern medicine is becoming more and more advanced, childbirth is still a life-or-death ordeal.
"Leonard, how are you?"
In order to get the most accurate information, Adam sought out Rachel's father, Leonard, to provide the most professional and appropriate diagnosis.
no way.
The Obstetrics and Gynecology -GYNs who conduct physical examinations may be more professional, but they may not necessarily provide the most appropriate diagnosis.
Neither conservative nor exaggerated was what Adam wanted.
As a doctor, he understands what his colleagues are doing, but now he wants to know his mother's true health condition, as a son...
"Your mother is in good health and there's nothing wrong with her."
Leonard chuckled, "Don't worry, I asked the head of Obstetrics and Gynecology privately, and it's really fine. As long as you take good care of yourself, everything will go smoothly. However, you're getting older, so please don't get pregnant again; it's too taxing on your health. Of course, if you do get pregnant again, it might just be Medical Miracle..."
"... I understand, thank you."
Adam breathed a sigh of relief and expressed his gratitude.
"You'll be starting your internship here in a week. Are you ready?"
Leonard patted Adam on the shoulder and laughed.
"Always be prepared."
Adam laughed.
"Hehe."
Leonard said with satisfaction, "I've already made arrangements. You'll be assigned to Dr. Sheran. Sheran Hillon. She's a senior resident under me, has a great personality, and you'll like her."
"I have no doubt about it."
Adam laughed.
That's the beauty of having connections; everything goes smoothly. This Dr. Sheran. Sheran Hillon is Leonard's resident physician, so she'll definitely take special care of Adam.
With both the county magistrate (Attending Physician Leonard Green) and the current supervisor (resident physician Sheran Hillon) taking good care of Adam, it's easy to imagine how quickly Adam could master the surgery.
The benefits of cultivating relationships over the years have once again been fully demonstrated.
The two chatted briefly, Adam took the medical report to his parents. He first told them about the doctor's warning, and then shared the good news.
"Dad, Mom, why don't you move in with us?"
Adam thought for a moment and suggested, "New York has better medical resources..."
"Haha, no need."
Mom interrupted with a laugh, "Your dad and I have all our friends in Galveston. If we came to New York, we'd be completely lost and wouldn't have any friends. That would be so tough. We're doing just fine back home. You said it yourself, my health is perfectly fine."
"It's not entirely without problems; the risks of childbirth for Elderly Gravida still exist."
Adam couldn't help but remind him.
"Yeah, yeah, I know my body. You may be a doctor, but you're still an intern. Your mom is a senior nurse, after all. People like you, Bambi, have to beg us when they go to the hospital."
Mom said proudly.
Adam: "..."
