A Song of "Cool Cool"

Medical Center.

"What's going on?"

Dr. Burke jogged over and asked quickly.

"... It has now basically stabilized."

Adam explained the situation.

"Well done."

Dr. Burke looked at Adam strangely.

He had previously thought too highly of this intern, but Adam always managed to defy that notion.

Even if he had come immediately, he might not have done a better job than Adam.

Is this really an intern?

Adam's reputation was something he had heard a few Sheldon when he was a medical intern at the Medical Center a few years ago.

But he always felt that Adam's rise to fame was due to his connection with Leonard and was artificially hyped up.

Just look at Alex, who is also a nepotism hire, and you'll know what the typical level of nepotism is like.

But Adam, being a relative, significantly raised the average level of all those with connections, completely crushing another relative Alex, into the mud.

What was once a tolerable level of quality is now not only unacceptable, but has also revealed its true nature, making even the senior doctors find it unacceptable.

He repeatedly disobeyed orders from senior doctors, lacked medical ethics, offended patients, and had a low level of professional competence.

If it weren't for the dean's connections, this kind of person would have been fired long ago.

Even so, he was not prepared to endure it any longer.

The dean does indeed have the authority.

But he is also a renowned doctor in the field of Cardiothoracic Surgery, and he has his own dignity and pride.

Does having connections with the dean mean they can repeatedly disobey his orders?

Even if the other party is right, it is not allowed, let alone Alex who has made mistake after mistake.

This is intolerable.

The authority of senior doctors must be upheld!

"You will be responsible for Mr. Owens ' follow-up observations."

After examining the patient, Dr. Burke gave the instructions.

"Good."

Adam nodded in agreement.

Alex stood to one side, his face extremely grim.

Even though the African American man verbally asked Adam to be his attending physician, Alex didn't dare to actually leave until Dr. Burke relieved him of his responsibilities.

Paying lip service while secretly opposing it and openly confronting it are two completely different concepts.

If he dared to do that, he had no doubt that Dr. Burke would immediately notify the hospital to fire him.

Even the dean won't be able to say anything then.

Rules are rules!

What are you still doing here? Is the rectal exam over?

Dr. Burke looked at Alex coldly.

Alex turned and left.

He knew he had completely offended Dr. Burke.

Further discussion is pointless.

You have to admit defeat when it's time to back down.

Dr. Burke gave a few more instructions and then left.

He's a Attending Physician, and he's very busy.

"Adam, you are amazing."

Liz looked at Adam with adoration.

"You're really something."

It was during a break in the competition, Adam said with a reserved smile, "Let's just rush over and snatch Alex's patient."

"His patients?"

Liz said disdainfully, "If you ask me, he should just keep doing rectal exams, so as not to kill patients."

"Adam, you're really something."

Cristina and Meredith passed by and said admiringly, "You even managed to snatch the patient back from there."

"Adam, if there are any problems with my diagnoses in the future, remember to tell me secretly."

Meredith laughed and said, "Obviously you've considered more and more things than we have."

"I remember Adam had a bachelor's degree in psychology."

Cristina said thoughtfully, "It seems I need to get another bachelor's degree in psychology, otherwise even if we encounter this situation again, we won't be able to do what Adam did."

"Um?"

Meredith and Liz both looked at her.

"Patients all like to lie."

Cristina explained, "For this tattoo masochist, even if you ask him about a small tattoo or a minor infection, he probably won't tell you, because to him it's a trivial injury, and telling you would only make him a laughingstock."

Adam pointed out this possibility without even asking any questions. How did he do that? He saw through the patient's psychological and behavioral characteristics at a glance and quickly and accurately deduced the patient's condition.

That makes him seem incredibly capable.

"Almost every patient lies."

Adam laughed and said, "That's human nature. People tend to play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses. Unless absolutely necessary, they won't really reveal everything to the doctor."

During the question-and-answer session between the doctor and the patient, the patient's answers have already been processed, much like writing a diary.

Of course, under normal circumstances, the symptoms described by patients are like writing in a diary, which can more or less explain some issues. Based on this, we can make a diagnosis, and there shouldn't be any major problems.

The real danger is that patients might conceal crucial causes and symptoms, which could very likely lead to misdiagnosis.

At this point, having a basic understanding of psychology can be very helpful in determining whether a patient is lying during the medical examination.

"That's something only someone as capable as you can master."

Meredith shook his head and said, "We're exhausted from our internships, how can we have time to study psychology in depth?"

"Yes."

Liz, a graduate of a medical school, deeply agrees.

"Worn out?"

Cristina glanced at Meredith: "What kind of tiredness? I think we were classmates at Harvard Medical School."

"..."

Meredith was speechless.

She's quite intelligent; if she's willing to put in the hard work and find time to get a bachelor's degree in psychology, it wouldn't be too difficult.

But when she was in school, she was a wild child.

Now, after graduating and working as an intern, she's entangled in a romantic relationship with Mr. Dreamy, and she frequently bangs the bed frame against it all night, making George furious and Liz complain that she should oil the springs of the mattress.

In addition, interns are already incredibly busy, so how could they not be exhausted!

As everyone was chatting, George walked over from the other side.

"Alex might be in big trouble!"

"How so?"

Liz's eyes lit up.

"I just came from the Chief's Office and saw Dr. Burke arguing with the director. I vaguely heard Alex saying things like 'I'm trying to persuade him to quit.'"

George said.

"It's finally here."

Cristina smiled and said, "Do you remember what the director told us during our initial onboarding training?"

"Of our 20 surgical interns, 8 will be transferred to easier departments, 5 will break down under pressure, and 2 will be asked to leave."

Adam laughed.

"It seems Alex will be the first one in our batch to be asked to leave."

Cristina laughed.

"Who knows?"

Adam shrugged.

It's not so easy to persuade people with connections to leave.

After chatting for a few more minutes, everyone dispersed.

"Did you need something?"

Adam smiled and looked at George.

"Um."

George looked left and right, and seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he pulled Adam into a hospital room, closed the door, and drew the blinds...
