Grey Was Afraid
Medical Center.
The ward.
Where is Dr. Grey?
Mr. Harper, who had the potential to become a professor, glanced behind Adam, and his faint smile faded.
"She has an appointment for Operating Room."
Adam offered an explanation and looked at the psychiatrist.
The psychiatrist understood and stepped forward to strike up a conversation with Mr. Harper.
Unfortunately, psychiatrists are all talk and no action.
Mr. Harper just smiled faintly and ignored him completely.
The psychiatrist shrugged and left.
This is the norm in United States hospitals.
When we encounter troublesome patients, they all pass the buck to us, and we try to avoid getting involved as much as possible.
The medium patient that Liz encountered was originally a psychiatric patient.
But when a medium becomes accurate, they become a super psychologist, always able to see into other people's minds, making everyone they come into contact with feel deeply uncomfortable.
Even psychiatrists who specialize in treating mental illness felt offended.
So, regardless of whether the surgical department wanted it or not, they sent it over directly, saying they suspected the medium had a brain tumor and wanted the Neurosurgery to examine it thoroughly.
Unexpectedly, by sheer chance, the psychic medium really was mentally unstable...
Because of the special nature of Mr. Harper's condition, Meredith helped him get priority access.
Adam accompanied Meredith as they pushed the cleaned and disinfected Mr. Harper toward the Operating Room.
Is it an act of desperation?
"No."
"Is it to gain more attention?"
"Of course not."
"I'm trying to understand, Mr. Harper, why eat ten Judy Doll heads?"
"Because eleven is too many."
"..."
Meredith, holding onto the cot, had a conversation with Mr. Harper, completely ignoring Adam's dissuasive glances.
Adam sighed.
Meredith was just a surgeon, not a psychiatrist or a psychologist; it was not her place to explore the abnormal psychology of patients.
But she did it anyway.
Adam could understand her too.
Meredith believes that she is both a champion of the world and a champion of beauty, so shouldn't you all obediently reveal your deepest secrets to her?
Shouldn't we just accept her values of justice?
This is not Adam's conjecture.
Instead, she would meticulously review all the cases Meredith had come into contact with; she had this habit all the time.
Whether it's the patient or their family, they need to understand what she considers correct.
Under the usual halo of a certain aura, her persuasion was remarkably effective.
Therefore, afterwards, she often wore a gratified smile and sighed with relief.
But at this moment, Meredith, the person involved, felt nothing, or rather, only a slight sense of frustration at the failure.
Adam, the bystander, was genuinely worried for Meredith.
Girls!
You were already attracted to the perverted Mr. Harper!
The way he looks at you is full of unspeakable feelings.
You're actually so eager to sprinkle cumin on yourself now?
It's like it thinks it's not fragrant enough.
Shuren Zhou said: When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes back.
Meredith's probing only increased Mr. Harper's interest in her.
Didn't you see that he, who should have been lying flat on the gurney, had turned to the side and was looking at Meredith diagonally behind him with an indescribable gaze?
This also brings to mind the unfriendly treatment of doctors by writers of American TV series and movies.
Emmm...
Really?
Really?
Operating Room.
Dr. Bailey was already inside with George, Liz, Cristina, and others.
This time, we're really all here to clean up the intestines.
"I think it has something to do with his mother. Maybe she wanted a girl, so she gave him Judy Doll as a gift."
Liz rubbed his large intestine while casually gossiping.
"So, I'll have to remind my friend Ross when I get back."
Adam, while rubbing his intestines, complained, "His ex-wife was a lesbian, and they even got married. They raised Ross's son Ben together, and all the toys they bought for Ben were Barbie Doll. Ross was terrified and quickly bought his son Ben United States soldiers."
"I've found another one."
George chimed in, joining the gossip. "And then? Did Ben prefer playing with United States soldiers or Barbie Doll?"
Many people looked over, clearly wanting to know the answer.
"Barbie Doll".
Adam casually squeezed a Judy Doll head from inside his large intestine toward the incision.
"That's normal; children all like beautiful things."
Meredith chimed in, "Yeah, it's the same when you grow up, except you go from a toy Barbie to a real-life Barbie."
"You are the most qualified to say this."
Adam joked, "Ross also liked Barbie Doll when he was little and even wore women's clothes. When he grew up and went to college, he liked people like you. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been competing with his good friend Chandler for you."
"What?!"
"Has Meredith dated your friend?"
As soon as this gossip was released, the temperature in the Operating Room rose several degrees.
"Not my friend."
Adam said in a serious tone, "They are my friends!"
The quantity must be correct.
"Adam!"
Meredith let out a somewhat embarrassed and annoyed cry.
"You know, during university..."
Faced with the gossipy gazes of the crowd, Meredith tilted her head and offered an awkward explanation.
"I understand."
Liz came to the rescue.
The chaotic lives of United States college students can be summed up in one sentence: Everyone knows it.
In fact, not one of the people in the Operating Room hadn't attended university.
Therefore, it's true that when it's mentioned, everyone understands and resonates with it.
"Found another one."
Cristina pointed out, "Perhaps his mother looks like Judy Doll, and he's Voodoo just eats instead of poking with needles."
"African Judy!"
Dr. Bailey pulled the Judy Doll out from the crowd that Adam and the others had squeezed through. Looking at the doll's the Big Bang Theory, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Before the long hair, she had an Africa hairstyle, wore Afro-style boots and a leather jacket. Clips!"
The nurse immediately handed over a new one.
After Dr. Bailey removed the African-American Judy, he commented on the 'newly emerged' Judy Doll: "Model Judy! She's riding a little yellow motorcycle. Do you know what's strange about that?"
"Isn't it strange enough already?"
Meredith complained.
"She looks a bit like Meredith."
Adam keenly understood what Dr. Bailey meant.
"Right."
Dr. Bailey nodded.
"Hmm, it really does look a bit like it."
Everyone immediately looked over, then glanced left at model Judy and right at Meredith, making Meredith extremely uncomfortable.
"When a man is extremely fond of a woman, there is always a sweet phrase he uses: 'I want to become one with you.'"
Adam asked curiously, "Meredith, do you find these sweet nothings nice to hear now?"
"..."
Meredith glanced at the ten Judy in the basin, each still smiling, especially the model Judy who was unanimously considered to resemble her, and couldn't help but shudder.
She remembered Adam's reminder and the look Mr. Harper had given her.
No wonder Mr. Harper wouldn't say more.
This is far more than just a little offense.
This is a Terrifying Upon Closer Inspection!
