What Does It Feel Like to Be Castrated in Front of a Goddess?
Night falls.
Medical Center.
Adam, feeling refreshed after another successful surgery, walked down the corridor and stopped when he saw Cristina and the others gathered there.
"What are you all doing here? Aren't you afraid of the Nazi yelled at?"
Interns are treated like livestock. Residents feel uncomfortable seeing them idle and always want to see them busy.
Because that's how the resident doctors went through it back then.
Why should we give you special treatment?
"We are comforting Liz."
Meredith said, "Her patient recognized Liz because she had seen the Bethany's Whisper, and was unwilling to undergo Liz's examination, let alone allow Liz to enter the Operating Room."
"Then what?"
Adam glanced at the dejected Liz.
"Then?"
Meredith was taken aback.
"This is Teaching Hospital."
Adam cautioned, "It's the doctor's right to decide who gets into the Operating Room; the patient doesn't get to choose. Unless he goes to another hospital, the Nazi not let him in?"
"She let me choose for myself."
Liz murmured.
"So?"
Adam gave her a strange look.
"I really want to participate, but I can't."
Liz, with some hesitation, repeated what the patient had told her...
"That's right, I've had fantasies about you. I'm not proud of any of the women in the photos, no matter who they are, but that's the truth."
Do you know what they're going to do to me today? I have cancer, and they're going to lift my feet, expose me to everyone, and remove my prostate and nerves—it's like castrating me.
This may be hard for others to understand, but I don't want the woman in the photo to see me being castrated.
"Hehe."
Adam couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
What's so hard to understand about that?
What is it like to be castrated in front of a goddess?
Zhihu doesn't exist now, but people don't use Zhihu, and anyone can understand that.
He fantasizes about the woman in the photo, yet he's not proud of it?
He really is Old Bai man!
This way of thinking is amazing!
Shouldn't a normal person feel ashamed in this situation?
"Why are you laughing?"
Liz frowned. "He doesn't want me there. Shouldn't I respect his wishes?"
"No! What he doesn't want is cancer! What he wants is to save his life!"
Adam scoffed, "As for his other thoughts, as an intern allowed by the resident physician, you have the right to enter the Operating Room and don't need to consider his thoughts at all."
Otherwise, would you respect and cooperate with all his fantasies about you? You're a doctor, not Bethany's Whisper! If you can't even handle this much, what kind of doctor are you?
Liz was shocked.
Adam ignored her and instead looked at Cristina and Meredith with amusement.
What do you mean by looking at us like that?
Cristina said irritably.
"I'm a little curious."
Adam laughed and said, "Shouldn't you be rushing to perform the surgery right now?"
Cristina's face darkened.
If possible, she would have grabbed it immediately; how could she possibly sit here and 'comfort' Liz with Meredith?
In her opinion, Liz was completely ungrateful and pretentious.
But by the time she heard the news, it was too late; George had already secured the spot.
This made her secretly wonder if the Nazi just liked effeminate pretty boys like George. Otherwise, why would the Nazi choose George so often whenever she had the chance?
"We are friends."
Meredith smiled sincerely, "Friends are the most important."
Adam smiled noncommittally.
Meredith and the Attending Physician, Neurosurgery Shepherd, had started sleeping together, and Meredith would often accompany him on advanced neurosurgery procedures.
For her, a mere prostate nerve resection surgery is no longer as rare as it used to be.
When the granaries are full, people know honor and shame.
With that in mind, she can naturally say, "Friends are the most important."
It's just like Adam saying, 'I'm not interested in money, I'd rather be a doctor and heal people.'
You can only be indifferent if you have everything you need.
Who was the surgeon?
Adam asked casually.
"Dr. Victor."
Liz continued.
"Hehe."
Adam shook his head and chuckled, "Interesting."
"What's interesting?"
Cristina asked curiously.
"You don't know Dr. Victor?"
Adam exclaimed in surprise, "His famous saying is, 'Young people like to take their chances with cancer, but when you get to my age, you know you have to be more efficient...'"
"You mean he'll completely remove the relevant nerves, even if some nerves can be preserved?"
Cristina immediately understood.
"Some people call him 'Softie,' and although his methods are a bit crude, he's a master at making a living."
Adam chuckled, "This patient will never again stare at certain photos with a distorted expression..."
Once the prostate is removed and the surrounding nerves are completely severed, you will truly lose all sensation.
Without desire, there is no need for anything.
This is also a major reason why many people seek treatment for serious illnesses from more than one doctor.
Each doctor's treatment method is different, and the severity varies.
In order to ensure the success rate, some doctors will strongly recommend that patients give up a lot, and they don't care about the patient's quality of life after the operation at all.
If you encounter a doctor like that, it's one thing if you don't know there are other options afterward, but if you do, it's truly unbearable.
Take this patient who is about to be castrated, for example.
He was already mentally prepared for this.
But should it be completely castrated?
That's not necessarily true.
Even if there are residual cancer cells, chemotherapy can be used to treat them, and the effect is actually not bad. The most important thing is to preserve heart function.
If you give a man this choice, instead of exaggerating the consequences of that choice, he will almost certainly choose it.
The reason why this Softie Dr. Victor was unwilling was partly due to the success rate of the surgery, and partly because choosing this option would take more time and effort.
Wouldn't it be better for him to spend more time enjoying afternoon tea instead?
Don't assume that all doctors are of high moral character and always put the needs of their patients first.
Being a doctor is just a profession.
The vast majority of people choose to become doctors because of their high income and high status.
Dr. Victor is over sixty years old, and his energy is not what it used to be. After practicing medicine for so many years and seeing too many patients, he has gradually become numb.
To maintain the patient's cardiac function, he had to persevere for more than an hour after several hours of high-intensity surgery.
For an experienced doctor like him, making such a choice is not surprising at all.
"OMG!"
Upon hearing this, Liz immediately stood up and ran towards the Operating Room.
What is she going to do?
Cristina scoffed, "Do you really want to offend Dr. Victor just so that a patient who doesn't want her around can continue to fantasize about her?"
Adam shrugged.
When this incident occurred, Liz didn't think about asking him to do anything; instead, she took matters into her own hands. For the sake of the patient's well-being, she was willing to offend an Attending Physician. Although it was a bit foolish, this behavior was unlikely to evoke negative emotions in others, and it actually lessened his aversion to her.
Hopefully she can hold on.
This also proves that when you encounter something that goes against your values, you must speak up when necessary. If you don't make the other person realize their mistake, how will they ever come to their senses?
Barney is like that, and so is Liz; they both lack someone to relentlessly attack them.
Adam was more than willing to take on this task.
Ring ring.
The phone rang.
Adam glanced at the incoming call and answered with surprise, "Joey?"
Adam was speechless after hearing what Joey said.
Joey, you're amazing!
