What Did Your Goddess Do?

Observation Operating Room.

As soon as Adam reminded them, everyone looked at Meredith's finger.

Meredith panicked immediately.

"Dr. Grey, find the spot you just touched."

As Dr. Burke gently massaged the heart with his fingers, trying to restore the heartbeat, he ordered in a deep voice, "Prepare the defibrillator!"

"The indicator has dropped to 90."

Dr. Burke's composure infected the others in the Operating Room, who all turned their attention away and went about their own business.

"Charging! 10 Joules!"

Dr. Burke took the defibrillator and aimed it at the heart. "Clear!"

The instrument still shows a straight line.

"20 joules!"

Dr. Burke ordered, "Clear!"

"Okay, heartbeat has returned to normal."

The nurse reminded her.

"Call."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dr. Grey!"

Dr. Burke exclaimed, "Where is it?"

"Here."

Meredith racked his brains to recall, then pointed to a location in horror.

"The heart muscle is very strong; you can't puncture it with your fingernail..."

Dr. Burke offered a word of comfort, began his examination, and then exclaimed, "Damn it! How can there be such a huge crack!"

Wow!

This unexpected turn of events caused an uproar among the onlooking interns.

"Oh no!"

George was extremely anxious.

Who would have thought that Meredith would actually puncture the patient's heart?

"The heart muscle is too thin."

Adam quickly analyzed, "A small wound has caused a large crack."

"If you hadn't reminded me beforehand, I would most likely have had to go into the Operating Room again after the stitches were done."

Cristina remarked, "Meredith should really thank you, otherwise, if the accident is investigated, she could very well have her license revoked."

Do you know this patient's medical records?

Adam asked.

"I know..."

Cristina was always prepared, and she even memorized the medical records of patients who were about to undergo major surgery.

"You mean she originally weighed 300 pounds and quickly lost weight down to 200 pounds?"

Adam immediately grasped the key point. "This kind of rapid weight loss method must have used a very harsh diet. While fat is reduced rapidly, the heart muscle is also reduced rapidly, making the heart muscle too thin. It can be punctured by Meredith, and once punctured, the crack will widen."

"That's really true."

Cristina was startled; faced with such a perceptive Adam, she couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness.

"Dr. Burke ..."

Adam pressed the intercom and explained his guess.

"Accurate diagnosis."

While performing the surgery, Dr. Burke exclaimed, "Well done, Dr. Duncan!"

Knowing the problem, Dr. Burke quickly resolved it with his superb surgical skills.

"Dr. Grey, you should thank Dr. Duncan properly."

Dr. Burke glanced at Meredith.

"I know."

Meredith felt relieved and quickly agreed.

"Alright, let's start stitching."

"Dr. Burke instructed."

On the observation deck.

Everyone gave Adam a strange look, and then left their seats.

Not everyone has Cristina's level of confidence and competitiveness.

Faced with Adam's outstanding performance, Cristina felt only a sense of powerlessness, and they completely excluded Adam from the ranks of interns.

They don't allow such an amazing person to exist among their interns.

Therefore, Adam is definitely not an intern; he is most likely a senior resident pretending to be a newbie.

That's outrageous!

"You shouldn't have said that."

George, however, thought differently and couldn't help but complain, "At the very least, you shouldn't say it in public."

"Just because you have a crush on Meredith?"

Adam scoffed.

"No."

George denied it, saying, "Under normal circumstances, the heart muscle cannot be that fragile. Pointing this out like that is very bad for Meredith."

Don't be fooled by the fact that everything seems fine now; there will be no shortage of internal disciplinary action later on.

In George's view, if Adam didn't tell, no one would know.

It is quite normal for a patient's heart muscle to rupture unexpectedly due to its weakness.

Nobody's bringing this up. Can't we just have another surgery to fix it?

Now that it's been discussed, Meredith's mistake is firmly established.

"Normal situation? Is this normal?"

Adam sneered, "If I hadn't said that, what if there were problems after they stitched it up and they had to operate again? Could the patient endure that kind of ordeal? The most important thing is, why should the patient endure this ordeal? Just because you like Meredith?"

"I think Adam did the right thing."

Cristina said, "As doctors, we are responsible to our patients and do our best. Meredith's nails should have been trimmed beforehand, and she shouldn't have dozed off; such a basic mistake shouldn't be made."

"I've been too busy lately."

George tried his best to find excuses for Meredith: "The workload is too heavy, it's inevitable that mistakes will happen."

"If she is not energetic, she should not have competed for this surgery."

Adam retorted, "I believe neither Cristina, you, nor Liz would make such a basic mistake, would we?"

"I definitely won't."

Cristina said confidently.

She was in high spirits even without surgery, let alone after surgery, especially coronary artery bypass surgery.

She was very unhappy about Meredith's privilege of priority access to various high-level surgeries.

Leaving aside Dr. Shepherd's Neurosurgery, it was almost entirely Meredith.

Nowadays, even Dr. Burke prefers Meredith.

She would never believe it if you told her that Richard, the Chief of Surgery, wasn't involved.

George was speechless.

The logic is sound; how could he not know it?

But Meredith is his goddess.

"You live together, what is she busy with at night that keeps her so busy that she doesn't even get enough sleep?"

Adam saw through George's thoughts and pointed out the key point incisively.

With 14 hours a day, there are still 10 hours left. Theoretically, as long as you are focused, you should have enough sleep.

"..."

George's face darkened, and he completely lost the will to speak.

What else can I be busy with?

Let's have a late-night discussion with Attending Physician. Shepherd about the workings of advanced neurons.

Adam got up and left the observation area.

He wouldn't embarrass his colleagues in public unless the situation was critical.

The system's +0.001 notification also proved that he did the right thing.

So he doesn't regret doing it.

Adam looked down on Meredith's blatant exploitation of the Protagonist's Luck.

Imagine, if she weren't so confident in her Protagonist's Luck, with the big boss and the even bigger boss being her connections, and her subconscious mindset being so carefree, how could she possibly make such a basic mistake?

A surgeon with long fingernails that could pierce a glove?

Do you think you're some kind of empress dowager?!

How can you doze off while holding your heart?

That shows how indifferent they are.

Keep in mind, this was the first time Meredith had ever held her heart in her hands.

For any surgeon, holding a heart in their hands for the first time is an incredibly exciting experience.

Taking a nap at this time?

Adam couldn't think of any other reason besides being subconsciously too relaxed and lacking the reverence a doctor should have.
