The ward.

We said goodbye to the cheerful Rachel.

Before performing surgery on the female patient who was nearly killed by a brainstem tumor, Adam went to see Mr. Dean.

How are you feeling?

"Very good."

Mr. Dean was leaning against the wall, holding a pen and paper, seemingly drawing something. When he saw Adam come in, he put down the pen and paper, looked at Adam, and sincerely thanked him.

"Dr. Duncan, I understand. I am so grateful to you. You saved my life."

"You're welcome, it's what we doctors should do."

Adam laughed.

This is the truth.

The +0.01 notification from the system is sufficient.

Not to mention the significant increase in its influence within the hospital.

"Mr. Dean is drawing the scene where Dr. Duncan is trying to save him."

The nurse couldn't help but remind her.

"Oh?"

Adam couldn't help but look at the paper and pen on Mr. Dean's lap.

"I enjoy drawing a few strokes in my spare time."

Mr. Dean laughed and said, "After hearing the thrilling story that happened to me, I had a strong urge to draw it."

Can I take a look?

Adam asked.

"Certainly."

Mr. Dean handed the drawing paper to Adam.

"It's really well drawn."

Adam exclaimed in admiration.

It's clear that the difference in education from childhood is the reason why even an amateur painting enthusiast can reach such a level.

Of course, it could also be related to his near-death experience.

An elevated state of mind results in paintings that are full of emotional impact.

Emmm.

The doctor in the picture looks so handsome in profile!

"Dr. Duncan, I hope you will accept this painting when the time comes."

Mr. Dean said.

"This..."

Adam hesitated for a moment.

"Dr. Duncan, Mr. Dean is not a professional painter. His paintings have never been sold. They are just small gifts, so it's alright."

The nurse actively addressed Adam's concerns.

Doctors in the United States are also prohibited from accepting bribes.

At the very least, it can't be done openly!

Otherwise, it would be like allowing teachers to run tutoring classes.

Once the restrictions are lifted, most teachers will hold back some of their knowledge in class, reserving the most important information for their own tutoring classes.

Wouldn't students who don't pay to attend his tutoring classes fall behind?

The same applies to doctors.

If you loosen the restrictions and don't offer enough benefits, doctors certainly won't treat you with the same care.

Some unethical medical practitioners have even caused the deaths of people who should have been saved.

This rumor spread quickly.

Who would dare not send a generous gift if they needed surgery?

I'm afraid that by then, even doctors with a real conscience won't be able to refuse to accept this patient.

That would create a vicious cycle.

"Thank you very much."

Adam thought about it and did not refuse the offer.

This painting is just a casual work by an amateur, not a high-value gift. It depicts Adam saving him, so there's no problem accepting it.

When Adam becomes his Attending Physician and opens his own clinic, this painting can be displayed there as a symbol of Adam honor.

This is also standard practice for United States doctors.

When they meet celebrities, they will ask for autographs and photos.

Doctors who lack integrity might secretly ask celebrity patients to sign autographs that aren't too personal.

For example, only sign and thank you on photos, books, and CDs of celebrities, but don't write things like "To Dr. Duncan".

The celebrity patients understood perfectly well that the doctor intended to sell this online.

They usually won't refuse.

There are also some rather eccentric doctors who collect the things they remove from patients' stomachs.

For example, the doctor who operated on Jobs in the Big Bang Theory kept Jobs' gallstones as a precious keepsake, much to the envy of Leonard and his friends.

There are also patients who like to swallow all sorts of things, and the doctors have to remove these things from their rectums, or they simply stuff all sorts of things in and have the doctors remove them from their rectums.

The doctors would put all these things in a basket at the nurses' station.

This basket has a name: the Butt Basket.

Those who don't know might take a few nice or valuable items with them.

Bald Chris has done this kind of bizarre thing before.

When his relationship with Carla, a nurse in the internal medicine department, progressed further, Carla asked him to choose a gift that would represent his understanding of her, in order to show his sincerity.

But he was bald to begin with, and even if he scratched his head, all he could come up with were unoriginal and unpersonalized gifts like flowers and chocolates.

There was no other way but to consult an expert.

And there just happened to be someone next to him: Adam!

Adam did not disappoint him and immediately gave him the gift he should give: a fine pen.

Because Carla loves writing, all her letters are handwritten; she feels that it makes them more personal.

That's a good idea.

As it turned out, Carla really loved the gift, and immediately declared that since Bald Chris had touched her soul, then he wouldn't treat her like a human being tonight.

Come on, anyone!

You're welcome!

But Bald Chris was too busy, so much so that he forgot about it after thinking about it.

When the time Carla had agreed upon arrived, he realized he hadn't bought it yet, and then he saw a very exquisite pen in the nurses' station Butt Basket.

He was unaware of this tradition and thought it was a lost and found basket, so he asked the nurse if he could use it in an emergency.

The nurses loved teasing these rookie doctors, so naturally they wouldn't tell him the truth, and just nodded with a grin.

So he gave this very exquisite yet tasteful pen to his girlfriend as a gift.

Afterwards.

Emmm...

God can be a girl, and Buddha can be of African descent.

After checking the room and finding that Mr. Dean's physical data was all normal, Adam, filled with the joy of receiving such a gift for the first time, went to the Operating Room.

"Duncan, O'Malley, come with me to see the patient's family later."

Dr. Shepherd reminded her, "Remember! Don't mention that she wasn't resuscitated and was taken directly to the Operating Room for organ removal."

"Why?"

George, who had a strong sense of justice, immediately shouted it out.

"The patient only needs to know that we are doing everything we can to save her."

Dr. Shepherd said helplessly, "In fact, we were doing everything we could to save her, weren't we?"

"That was just us!"

George retorted, "That Dr. Hans from Wickes Hospital, and that doctor from earlier, had absolutely no intention of doing that. They almost killed her!"

"This matter shouldn't be leaked."

Dr. Shepherd said with a headache, "Otherwise, the impact would be too bad. It would be a blow to the image of all doctors and the medical community. If there is one less organ donor, several patients will not receive effective treatment."

"But that's not right!"

George, his face full of defiance, said, "Adam, what do you think?"

"I'll listen to the hospital."

Adam said calmly.

George stared at Adam in disbelief. "Adam, you!"

Adam looked at him calmly.

Of course he knew that this was wrong.

But is this the only injustice in society?

If we really want to manage everything, to ignore everything and rush headlong into things, all for the sake of fairness and justice.

Don't say that Adam is just a minor transmigrator with a garbage system who has only become a billionaire after nearly ten years.

Even if he were Long Aotian, if he dared to do that, society would definitely teach him a lesson in no time.

The dark side and power of the United States healthcare system have even made the mighty American Empire Long Aotian its head.

Adam could do was to do good deeds within his reach.

Not a bit more, not a bit less.

This is also the rule he discovered for extending the Lifespan of the system.

Otherwise, with his current wealth, how many lives could he save by spending money on charity?

But because it wasn't a good deed he personally faced and did step by step, the system didn't recognize it at all.

Mr. Dean, he encountered him, and he did everything he could to help.

He encountered this woman who had nearly died and did everything he could to save her.

But that's all there is to it.
