Medical Center.

Outside the Operating Room.

In the corridor.

As Adam walked over from the emergency room, he witnessed a classic scene.

Meredith and Cristina stood together, whispering to each other, their eyes occasionally glancing at one spot.

A little further away.

Dr. Shepherd and Dr. Burke were also standing together.

"An organ donor from Wickes Hospital will arrive this afternoon. We plan to harvest the organs, and we'll be using Operating Room number 1 at 4 PM..."

"I need to use Operating Room number 1 at that time."

"Your surgery is not important."

"You can't cancel my surgery."

"As the Chief of Surgery, I can do it!"

"Temporary!"

"Even as a temporary Chief of Surgery! I'm in charge now! You've used the Operating Room I needed, and your surgery time has been rescheduled!"

After Dr. Burke finished speaking, Dr. Shepherd stared at him intently for a while before turning and leaving.

This is power!

Everything is my priority!

Accurate?

Just bear with it!

Adam once again lamented that on the Path of a Great Doctor, one needs not only skill but also power, he heard Cristina's explosive words to Meredith.

WTF?

Adam was dumbfounded.

What are you talking about?

I was hurt so badly by those Attending Physician that I don't even want to be a woman anymore.

They're already comparing sizes before the surgery even started?

Besides.

Do you think men are so boring?

"Cristina, you..."

"What are you thinking about!"

Cristina rolled her eyes at Adam had a shocked and bewildered look on his face. "We're talking about Burke and Shepherd."

"Oh."

Adam suddenly realized.

This analogy... emmm...

That's quite a vivid description.

"Men are all the same!"

Meredith complained.

"Right!"

Cristina exchanged a glance with Dr. Burke, who was looking over from a distance. She thought of how he had fallen for her so easily that she was almost in mortal danger, and then dumped her for a promotion.

A person who used to be calm and rational is now restless and unsettled by disordered hormones.

Cristina chimed in, "We don't need men at all. How much does an electric prosthetic limb cost? What's the point of having those cold-blooded men?"

"I support you!"

Adam gave them a thumbs up. "As long as you persevere, I'll cover all your electric prosthetics for the rest of your lives. Buy as many as you want, and I'll reimburse the invoices."

"Pooh!"

Meredith spat.

"You wish."

Cristina regained her composure from her hormonal turmoil and saw through Adam's scheme at a glance. She sneered, "Thinking that if we completely break ties with them, it will be even harder for us to compete with you for surgeries in the future, is that it?"

Meredith realized what was happening and rolled her eyes at him.

Adam smiled without saying a word.

Beep beep!

Beep beep!

Beep beep!

At that moment, all three of their pagers went off one after another.

The three exchanged a glance, realizing that something big was about to happen.

Cristina glanced at it and immediately ran to the emergency room.

Meredith followed closely behind.

"Take it easy, you've only just recovered."

Adam stood still and spoke slowly.

Emergency room.

"Male, 55 years old, car accident victim, Glasgow Coma Scale score 3, skull fracture, multiple internal injuries, cardiac resuscitation initiated, blood flow is blocked, we are administering medication through his nasal tube, heartbeat has basically stopped."

The ambulance was parked at the entrance of the emergency room.

Adam arrived late but quickly caught up, with Cristina and Meredith following behind, panting.

Nazui Dr. Bailey, along with George and Liz, were already waiting there.

This was a car accident that required an ambulance to be called.

On the way there, the ambulance had already contacted the hospital and explained the general situation, which basically meant that the patient needed to be taken to the Operating Room immediately.

Therefore, since Susan and her colleagues didn't need to be seen in the emergency room, the surgery department took over directly.

Car accidents usually involve more than one or two injured people.

This time, it was a family of three whose car collided with someone else's.

Four of them came right away.

Nazui Dr. Bailey immediately summoned his four King Kong.

Adam was what Susan called him.

Susan knew that Adam loved to snatch up surgeries.

How long have you been unconscious?

"Nazui Dr. Bailey asked."

"We performed CPR for 20 minutes, and the fire department spent 20 minutes getting him out, but he was basically done for."

"That's what the paramedics said."

"No, he's truly beyond saving only when the doctor says he can't make it!"

"The Nazi said domineeringly."

He glanced at everyone and looked at Adam: "Duncan, you save him!"

"Yes!"

Adam immediately stepped forward to take over.

Actually, this isn't a good case, because if what the paramedics said is true, then this person is basically beyond saving.

Nazui Dr. Bailey's rejection of the paramedics stemmed from the doctor's professional ethics of saving lives until the very last moment, not from any doubt about the paramedics' judgment.

Even if paramedics haven't gone to medical school, they drive ambulances every day and are experienced enough that their judgment in these situations can sometimes be even more accurate than that of doctors.

Originally, she just wanted to send someone, like the chubby George O'Malley, to take over routinely and give him some training.

But when she saw Adam, she changed her mind.

Try anything, even if it seems hopeless.

If a miracle were to happen, Dr. Bailey believed that the one who would create it would not be her four King Kong, but Adam!

Yesterday, she publicly stated that Adam was the best intern, and that was a heartfelt statement without any ulterior motives.

"I'll do it!"

Adam said to the paramedics who were continuously performing CPR.

"Good."

The paramedics made way and helped push the vehicle into the hospital, which was a huge relief.

Continuous pressing requires both technical skill and physical strength.

Being a paramedic is really not easy.

Once he relaxed, he couldn't help but complain a bit and reveal the cause of the car accident.

"Poor guy, he was driving normally on the road, and after overtaking normally, he was chased by the car behind him. The car behind him was driving recklessly and was like a madman trying to catch up."

Ironically, the driver who went berserk in the back wasn't driving under the influence of alcohol; he was driving in a fit of rage.

He was arguing with his wife while driving when he saw someone overtake him, and he lost his temper and lashed out.

Finally, they simply crashed into each other, resulting in a car accident for both.

The perpetrator was only unconscious, but the poor man was already dead.

"He's not dead yet."

While performing CPR, Adam retorted, "The longest recorded recovery from this condition is four hours."

If he initially approached the situation with a "nothing to lose" mentality, Adam's emotions became somewhat turbulent after hearing the paramedics say that this was yet another innocent person.

This was the fourth innocent person on the verge of death he had encountered in just over two months.

He didn't have a chance with the first two.

The third one was rescued, but like artillery wounds, the gunshot wound was too severe, and he died despite treatment.

This is now the fourth, and another person on the verge of death who has already been sentenced to death.

He decided to go all out and never give up until the very last moment.

Ren Shuzhou said: The Good Die Young, Scourges Live Forever.

That's wrong!

"Inject 3 milligrams of adrenaline!"

"Intubation!"

"Inject one dose of atropine!"

The nurse responded immediately.

"Doctor, should we prepare a CPR machine?"

The nurse reminded her.

However, after hearing Adam's account of being revived after nearly dying for four hours, she knew that Adam would have to undergo continuous CPR and was worried that Adam wouldn't be able to handle it, so she wanted to use machines to replace Adam's manual resuscitation.

"Need not."

Adam pressed the pressure point while observing the monitor.

In moments like these, he has more faith in his technical skills than in the machinery.

And it only takes a few hours.

He can handle it!
