Being Able to Laugh Is a Good Thing

Inside the ward.

What happened?

Adam's gaze was somewhat strange.

"I... I need to ask you something."

George hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"You say."

Adam looked at him.

"I think I have some skin problems..."

George stammered.

"Oh, boy!"

Adam couldn't help but let out the same exclamation Sheldon.

He had already guessed what was going on.

George clearly understood that Adam probably already knew, and blushed as he said, "It looks like a rash. I think I know what it is, but I can't get a good look so I can't be sure."

"Take off your pants."

Adam facepalmed.

Originally, we were only 80% sure, but now we're 95% sure.

"I think I can describe it, it's red..."

George kept his hands on his waistband, making a final effort.

"Since you can describe it and know what it is, just go for treatment. Why are you asking me?"

Adam didn't want to treat him either, and after saying one thing, he prepared to leave.

He's going to wash his hands.

Now, he finally understands Sheldon's obsessive-compulsive disorder and germaphobia.

In the world of American TV shows and movies, frequent handwashing and disinfection isn't just 'crazy fantasies,' it's actually quite necessary, because who knows what you might encounter.

"Etc."

George reached out to stop Adam.

Adam dodged George's hand with a swift movement. "Stop!"

George's chubby face was practically bleeding with shame.

Adam's reaction says it all.

Adam knew he had gone too far; this wasn't a doctor's reaction, but rather a blind fear of genital disease stemming from his past life as an ordinary person.

"Now you have two choices: either you diagnose it yourself, or I leave."

Seeing George's reaction, Dr. Adam's professionalism took over again, and he softened his tone, saying, "Either take off your pants and let me examine you. Whatever it is, we need to diagnose and treat it as soon as possible."

George hesitated for a moment, then unbuckled his belt, turned to look at the ceiling, and let Adam observe him.

"So?"

"It looks like it's Charm Poison."

Adam immediately understood.

"Call."

George also breathed a sigh of relief.

He can guarantee that this never happened before; he had an indescribable encounter just this morning, and now he has symptoms, which should be early-stage Charm Poison.

Treatment is very simple; a sufficient dose of penicillin is all it takes. It's not a terrible, incurable disease like AIDS.

"Don't relax too soon."

Adam cautioned, "This is only a rough diagnosis, not 100% certain. You must take a sample immediately for pathogen culture to screen for all types of gonorrhea. You know, gonorrhea isn't just Charm Poison."

Yes, yes.

George became nervous again.

There's a saying in hospitals, "Never get on a bus without knowing what you're doing."

Adam asked curiously, "So, who gave you such a wonderful gift?"

"I don't know what happened either."

George said sadly, "Olivia... she doesn't seem like that kind of person."

"Just her?"

Adam's lips twitched, secretly glad that he had stuck to his principles.

Olivia was the pretty little nurse who admired him and wanted to pursue him back then.

If he hadn't stuck to his principles, he might be the one who got infected now.

Hospitals in American TV shows and movies are indeed too chaotic and dangerous.

Barney looks like he'll most likely win the bet...

"Certainly."

George nodded. "I'm not that kind of person. I wouldn't do this if we didn't love each other."

Are you sure?

Adam looked strange.

Even after all this, they still love each other?

Since George is virtuous, the only truth is that Olivia is not.

"..."

George understood Adam's look, paused for a moment, and then asked, "Adam, what should I do?"

"Didn't we already say that we should do gonorrhea screening first, and the sooner we treat it, the better?"

Adam frowned.

"I meant Olivia."

George hesitated, "What should I do with her?"

"Do we even need to think about this?"

Adam complained, "Of course we need to find out who else she's had intimate relationships with. He or they, and she both need treatment. Let me make it clear beforehand that whether you tell me or not, I will report this. Otherwise, the more it spreads, the more the hospital will become a virus incubator."

God knows how many people in the hospital have already been infected.

Although 95% of this disease is transmitted through the unspeakable and through blood and saliva, other routes of transmission cannot be completely ruled out.

For example, if Charm Poison are contaminated with the clothing of an infected person, they can also be infectious.

You can't guard against thieves for a thousand days if you're a thief for a thousand days.

Adam, having lived in this environment for a long time, certainly needed to ensure his safety.

The best solution is to report the case to the hospital and get their help. Treating the sick and preventing infection are the best ways to control the spread of the disease.

"No!"

George panicked. "If you report this, I'll be exposed!"

"You think you can keep it a secret?"

Adam looked at him with pity. "If you want to get a gonorrhea test, you'll have to go to a lab for testing, right? In hospitals, news spreads faster than the virus itself."

"I can remain anonymous."

George protested.

"Those who do the lab work are all seasoned veterans."

Adam shook his head and said, "Your expression is impossible to hide. Besides, we are doctors, treating illnesses is a normal thing, there's nothing to hide, and you're not the only one."

"You make it sound so easy."

George was still reluctant.

If he had that kind of mental fortitude, he wouldn't have secretly taken Adam to the hospital room for a checkup.

"Of course it's easy for me since I'm chaste and have a clean reputation."

Adam couldn't help but laugh.

"..."

George paused, speechless.

He used to think Adam was Playboy, but when this happened, he fell for it, while Adam was confident that he would be fine.

This is simply illogical!

"Alright, I won't report it yet. I'll give you an afternoon to get your tests done."

Adam thought for a moment and then said.

"Really? Thank you."

George was overjoyed to hear this, thanked them, and immediately went to get checked out.

Adam watched his retreating figure and shook his head.

It wasn't that he was genuinely concerned for George, but rather that he thought that perhaps without him reporting it, as long as George went for a checkup, the news would quickly spread throughout the entire hospital, Chief of Surgery and the others would definitely take action.

If not, Adam can report it again.

After all, reporting this kind of news isn't a good thing for one's reputation; it can damage one's image to some extent.

As it turned out, Adam was absolutely right.

afternoon.

Adam was washing his hands for the third time, Cristina and the other two came over and gossiped, "Have you heard? George got Charm Poison. Who would have thought our good boy would turn into Playboy and Charm Poison Boy? Hahaha."

"He was just lucky."

Adam couldn't help but laugh.

Early-stage Charm Poison are easier to treat, especially since they are in a hospital where there is a sufficient dose of penicillin to eradicate the infection.

If it were a more serious case of gonorrhea, Liz and her friends, as George's friends, would definitely not be laughing.
