What a Shout!
Medical Center.
A miracle occurred.
"Incredible."
"They really saved him..."
"It's too early to say this now. He was in a coma and near death for so long. Even if he were saved, he would be either brain dead or in a vegetative state. All that energy and resources was wasted, and this is the result? It would have been better to let him go."
"That's the vast majority of cases, but there's a chance he'll wake up and return to normal. After all, what happened to him was a miracle, and how do you know he doesn't want to live?"
"Yes, the greatest human instinct is the instinct for survival."
"When you actually encounter such a situation, you'll have a completely different mindset and desperately hope that you'll meet a doctor like Dr. Duncan."
"..."
The onlookers began to discuss the matter.
Although some people have doubts.
However, most people gave a positive view of Adam's rescue.
After good looks, wealth, stamina, strength, charm, and medical skills.
Adam's medical ethics were widely recognized.
As someone pointed out: Regardless of what people say, everyone has their own judgment, and when faced with a similar situation, Adam Duncan is the doctor they all hope to meet.
"Call Dr. Shepherd."
After Adam listened to the patient's ears with his stethoscope, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He really did it.
But this is not the time for final celebration. The patient's heart starts beating again, and now the trouble has moved to the brain.
After such a long period of coma and near-death experience, the biggest question becomes whether the patient's brain function is normal.
In this regard, Dr. Shepherd, a renowned Neurosurgery, is an authority in the hospital.
Such a sensational scene naturally spread very quickly.
Dr. Shepherd arrived quickly after receiving the page.
After a thorough examination.
"The situation seems relatively optimistic now."
Dr. Shepherd smiled and said, "However, we still need to do a transcranial Doppler ultrasound, electroencephalogram, evoked potential test, a CT scan, and an MRI. If everything is fine, then we'll just have to wait patiently for him to wake up on his own."
"I see."
Adam nodded in agreement.
"Well done, Dr. Duncan!"
Dr. Shepherd patted Adam's arm and then began to clap.
Clap clap clap!
The nurse who had been following the resuscitation efforts was extremely excited. She clapped vigorously, unable to hold back her tears, and a joyful smile spread across her face.
She deserves a share of the military medals!
Clap clap clap!
Outside the ward, the doctors, nurses, and patients who had gathered to watch the spectacle finally joined in applause.
Adam began performing various brain function tests on the comatose patient.
The operators who usually give him preferential treatment and expedite his work have already heard the news and are now acting even faster than usual.
Around noon.
Adam received all the test results and couldn't help but laugh.
"Dr. Duncan, is it good news?"
"The nurse asked."
"Yes! It's good news."
Adam nodded and smiled, "If there are no unforeseen circumstances, everything will return to normal once he wakes up."
"Very good!"
The nurse exclaimed joyfully, "This is truly a miracle!"
"Yes."
Adam smiled and said, "He's in your hands for now, so keep a close eye on him."
Don't worry.
The nurse assured him, "I will not leave his side for a moment, and I will call you as soon as he wakes up."
Okay, thank you.
Adam thanked him and left.
Self-service restaurant.
"Isn't this our Dr. Miracle?!"
"Adam, you're amazing!"
"You're pretty good!"
"..."
Liz and Meredith both praised it.
Bianca's eyes were bright and alluring, her gaze filled with the unwavering determination that she was absolutely not allowed to refuse her visit tonight.
Fortunately, Alice didn't use her 'revenge plan' today, otherwise tonight would have been a real Asura's Battlefield.
"Luck!"
Adam said reservedly.
"Luck? Some people say that, but if it were them, would they continue to resuscitate someone who could already be declared dead for more than an hour? And without such great pressure and such a long resuscitation time, would a miracle really happen?"
Bianca retorted.
"Yes, Adam's hard work and perseverance were the fundamental reasons for the miracle."
The crowd echoed in agreement once again.
"How is he? Is his brain function okay?"
Cristina said calmly.
"All the investigations are progressing in a positive direction."
Adam smiled and said, "I think he'll wake up and get better."
Everyone sighed in admiration.
What are you doing?
Adam suddenly leaned back.
"What?"
Everyone was taken aback.
"Someone has created a miracle!"
Adam said earnestly, "Shouldn't someone receive more praise?"
Everyone: "..."
Faced with Adam's blatant demand, "I'll keep my composure, but you must praise me and keep going," everyone was both amused and exasperated.
Bianca, however, had none of their concerns. After a moment of surprise, she chuckled and began showering Adam with compliments.
Liz and Meredith were nearby, and although they weren't as exaggerated or forceful as Bianca, they occasionally chimed in.
Cristina almost rolled her eyes at this.
It took a while for things to calm down.
"It's all that person's fault for driving in anger."
George said, "He's an alcoholic who drank himself into cirrhosis and is on the transplant waiting list, but there's no liver for him to transplant. Now his son might have to have half of his liver removed for him."
"Possible?"
Liz chimed in, "Skati still hasn't made up his mind? The liver can regenerate on its own. Even if half of it is removed, it will basically be back to normal in two months. Why are you still thinking about it? That's his father!"
That's not how you say it.
Adam countered, "Whether to donate or not is entirely voluntary. The liver can indeed recover, but the surgery itself carries risks. And even if it recovers, will it be exactly the same as before? The physical condition will be greatly reduced."
In a typical loving family, this wouldn't be a problem, but given his father's personality, isn't it normal for him to be conflicted and hesitant?
He said his father deserved what he got.
Cristina said quietly.
"Liz, you were in charge of his father's surgery?"
Adam asked.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Liz paused for a moment, then chuckled and said, "You don't think that's why I said that, do you?"
What do you think?
Adam gave her a deep look. "What you said only mentioned the benefits of the surgery, without mentioning any of the drawbacks. You're just like one of those salespeople. Can you honestly say there are absolutely no negative effects?"
"I don't!"
"Liz called out."
But when everyone looked at her, she couldn't bring herself to deny it again.
Didi.
Didi.
"Is it him?"
Everyone looked at Adam's waist.
Adam took out his pager, his face lit up with joy, and he immediately got up and ran towards the ward.
Cristina and others did the same thing.
Now comes the moment to witness a miracle, and how could they miss it?
The ward.
"Dr. Duncan, the patient is starting to respond."
The nurse exclaimed in surprise.
"Um."
Adam walked to the bedside, checked on the patient, and called softly, "Mr. Dean, Mr. Dean?"
"S...S..."
The patient, Mr. Dean, twitched his eyelids, his mouth slightly open, and he mumbled something.
What are you trying to say?
Adam bent down to listen.
Liz and the others held their breath in tension.
"S~o~n..."
"It's difficult," said Mr. Dean, the patient.
"He misses his son!"
Meredith felt she understood.
But he was soon proven wrong.
"Son, of ..."
The expressions on everyone's faces turned strange.
"Son, of, the..."
Finally, Mr. Dean opened his eyes and weakly but bitterly cursed, "Son of the bitch!"
This must have been his last conscious thought before he fell into a coma following the car accident...
P. S.: Thank you to Persimmon in the Garden for the donation! It wasn't intentional that I stopped writing; I simply didn't have any drafts left and only managed to write up to this point. Please forgive me!
