The Moment You Mentioned That, I Was Wide Awake
Medical Center.
When Adam saw Meredith trembling and peeping from there, his first thought was that Mr. Harper had gone mad.
But then a roar was heard.
"Don't touch me!"
"You inexperienced quacks!"
"How many times have I told you not to disturb me while I'm working!"
Adam felt a sense of relief.
This is a female voice, and not a loli voice.
It's probably not Mr. Harper's going crazy.
Emmm...
However, the thought of a burly man sitting in an internet cafe in the future, sometimes using a cute girl voice to help his brothers rank up, and sometimes using a gentle male voice to chat with his girlfriend, is quite striking.
And that sassy troll from the Big Bang Theory who frantically clicked the mouse and spammed attacks with Howard under the Soul Bridge in World of Warcraft, causing Bernadette and Howard to break up.
In real life, he's just a disgusting old fat guy in the equipment management department at California Institute of Technology, where Howard works.
Therefore, it's really hard to say without seeing it in person.
To confirm, Adam quickly turned around the corner and looked over.
A middle-aged woman was sitting on the gurney, yelling and struggling.
Cristina, Liz, George, and the others around them all looked as if they had seen a ghost.
"This is Dr. Grey. Alice Grey!"
"Didn't I hear she went to the Mayo Clinic?"
"How come I heard she went to the United Nations?"
"Some people say she's traveling around collecting research material in preparation for writing a major medical book."
"How did she become like this?"
"Perhaps she went mad. It's not surprising that someone as proud as her ended up like this."
"Yes, the line between genius and madness is always very thin."
"Poor Dr. Grey. Meredith Grey, this is Alzheimer's Disease."
"..."
Various whispers reached Adam's ears.
He immediately understood the situation.
This is Meredith's mother, Cristina and Liz's idol, a legendary female doctor who pioneered many famous surgical techniques and wrote numerous textbooks.
Alice Grey!
Mayo Clinic is widely recognized as the number one Medical Center in the United States.
The United Nations Health Organization is a globally renowned hub.
Those who can go to these two places are truly top medical experts.
Alice Grey, on the other hand, was invited to these two places by repeated and enthusiastic invitations.
This speaks volumes about her standing in the global medical community.
Despite her current success, she is diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease, which is almost incurable, and she can no longer remember who she is, where she is, or what she is doing.
No wonder Meredith trembled and hid, too afraid to go forward.
People's previous impression of her was mostly that she was the daughter of the legendary Grey, and they were either envious or jealous.
Although she doesn't say it, or often says it, she doesn't want to be the daughter of a legend at all.
But deep down, she is proud of this identity.
This sense of identity was ingrained in me after I went to medical school.
Because not every medical student has to buy books written by their mother, learn their mother's unique and ingenious techniques, and listen to classmates and professors constantly talking about how amazing their mother is.
Now she's just a pitiful creature that others pity.
The more glamorous her mother was in the past, the stronger the contrast she feels now.
Adam shook his head and turned to leave.
He has three patients to take care of and doesn't have time to deal with this kind of trouble.
An hour later.
After checking on the three wards, Adam was about to go to the emergency room.
He was stopped by George, who was like a headless fly.
"Adam, please help me."
George said with a long face, "I really can't handle Dr. Grey."
Which Dr. Grey?
Adam knew that George had once again taken on the trouble, and couldn't help but tease him.
"Alice Grey, Meredith's mother."
George explained, "She has Alzheimer's Disease and now has intermittent cramps, pain, and diarrhea. Dr. Bailey asked me to examine her, but she mistook me for her husband and thought I was playing a doctor's game with her. She wouldn't let me examine her and told me to stay away because she had to work."
"Alright, George O'Malley!"
Adam was taken aback, and his eyes immediately turned strange. "I'm really impressed with you. There are plots in novels where the fiancé cheats on his wife, and after more than ten years of grief, the fiancé marries his fiancée's daughter. That's already pretty outrageous, but compared to your lightning-fast actions, it's utter trash!"
"What did you say?!"
George said speechlessly, "She's mistaken. I just look a bit like her ex-husband."
"You look like Meredith's father?"
Adam almost burst out laughing, "Who said that? Meredith?"
"No."
George said with a long face, "It's the director. He and Meredith's mother are old friends."
"Fine."
Adam nodded.
"What do you mean, 'alright'?"
George asked, puzzled.
"It's good that the director said so."
Adam suppressed a laugh and said, "If Meredith thought you looked like her father from the beginning, then there's more to explain why she cried out in pain the other time."
"..."
George's forehead started to throb, and he was on the verge of tears. "Will you help me or not?"
Adam decided not to tease him anymore, fearing he might really drive him crazy.
So they turned their attention back to the important matter at hand.
He was originally prepared to refuse.
After all, he has a lot on his plate.
Moreover, he has always kept public and private matters separate, and he will never blur the lines between them unless absolutely necessary.
Furthermore, if George can't even handle something this small, then he's really useless.
But then he suddenly remembered what George had said earlier, and a thought struck him, "You said she kept saying she wanted to work? What stage of Alzheimer's Disease's is she in? It should be stage two. How many years has she been in stage two?"
If Alzheimer's Disease progresses to the third stage, the person will be unable to take care of themselves and will definitely not be as 'energetic' as Alice Grey is now.
"The second year!"
George glanced at the medical records and recited them outright.
"Okay! I'll go with you and take a look."
Adam's eyes lit up.
In the second stage of Alzheimer's Disease, although memory is impaired, the degree of loss is not as severe as in the third stage.
Moreover, for legendary female doctors like Alice Grey, performing surgery had become an instinct.
Didn't you see her yelling and shouting, "You're all quack doctors"?
There is no clearly defined level of expertise among doctors.
However, according to Adam's own classification of Cardiothoracic Surgery, it should be: general Cardiothoracic Surgery surgeon, the well-known Leonard, the famous doctor Burke, the Chief of Surgery of a large hospital Richard, and the legendary doctor Alice Grey.
That's right!
Alice Grey was Cardiothoracic Surgeon.
If Adam's expectations came true, Alice Grey did indeed retain the memory of medicine.
Having a face-to-face conversation with such a legendary female Cardiothoracic Surgery surgeon would definitely be a rare and wonderful experience.
Adam immediately perked up at the thought.
