Adam in the Eyes of a Legend

The ward.

"Dr. Grey?"

George pushed open the door and called out.

"Damn it, Zack! I'm at work!"

Alice Grey, who was 'working' there, heard the noise and immediately yelled, "I don't have time for you right now. Go watch cartoons yourself!"

George immediately looked at Adam with a pained expression.

"Zack, you heard what Dr. Grey said, go watch the cartoon yourself."

Adam smiled and said, "Dr. Grey, I am Dr. Duncan. Adam Duncan. It's an honor to meet you. You are an idol to all of us doctors."

Are you familiar with the Grey's Endoscopic Surgery Method?

Alice Grey got excited when she heard this, and 'put down her work' to look at Adam scrutinizingly.

"Certainly."

Adam smiled and said, "I have studied Grey's Series of Surgical Procedures that you created carefully. I must say, the invention of these procedures is a blessing for both doctors and patients."

"Stop with all this obvious nonsense, let me ask you something..."

Alice Grey interrupted Adam's compliments and began her interrogation with a cold expression.

After achieving fame and success, she heard far too many compliments.

Even if one is currently suffering from Alzheimer's Disease, the subconscious mind automatically filters out these things and focuses attention on medical matters.

Adam was delighted and quickly and accurately answered all her questions.

In terms of theory, he fears no one.

The two exchanged questions and answers without pause, leaving George, who was standing next to them, completely dumbfounded.

"Mean!"

George immediately saw through Adam's 'sinister intentions'.

Adam wasn't there to help him at all; he was there to steal Alice Grey's teachings.

Even more shameful is that Adam didn't take him with him.

No way.

Alice Grey asked questions quickly, Adam answered them just as quickly.

At first, he could barely keep up.

But as the questions and answers became more in-depth and obscure, George's mind went blank for a long time before he realized what was happening: he was being subtly looked down upon.

Compared to Alice Grey and Adam, it seems he really can only follow the example of Alice Grey's ex- Zack and watch 'cartoons'.

This is a double blow to both intelligence and knowledge.

Furthermore, his past with his predecessors Zack and Alice Grey casts a deep shadow over his and Meredith's future.

The pain is beyond words!

"Adam, we've come to give..."

The shadow in George's heart had spilled over and was now visible on his face as he spoke up to remind him.

"Shut up, Zack!"

Alice Grey immediately yelled at him.

"Cough cough."

Seeing that George's face had darkened completely, Adam realized he had gone too far. He coughed lightly and said, "Dr. Grey, we need to examine you first, and then I'll consult with you. Is that alright?"

"Just promoted to attending physician?"

Alice Grey withdrew her disgusted gaze from George and looked at Adam with a witty mockery. "You have to do even the smallest check-up yourself?"

"What?!"

George stared in disbelief, dumbfounded. "You mean he's the Attending Physician?"

"Isn't that right?"

Alice Grey said with an affirmative expression, "His theories are indeed impressive, no less than any famous doctor, but his grasp of surgical details is completely that of a novice among attending physicians. What else could he be but a newly promoted attending physician?"

"..."

George suddenly didn't know what to say.

That's not his point!

He knew Adam was formidable.

Everyone knows that Adam is amazing.

But it's definitely not that powerful.

Newly appointed attending physician?

His theoretical expertise is no less than that of any famous doctor.

You really dare to say that.

Alzheimer's Disease can cause hallucinations.

Yes.

She is no longer that legendary female doctor, but just a patient.

How can you believe what a patient says?

After all, in her eyes, I am still her husband.

Don't be discouraged.

Seeing that Adam remained silent, Alice Grey comforted him, "You're so young, yet you've already been promoted to attending physician, which is even more impressive than I was back then. As long as you keep working this hard, your future achievements will be no less than mine."

"I will try my best."

Adam was laughing happily.

He is now certain.

Alice Grey is a real gem.

Even though Alzheimer's Disease has affected her memory to the point that she can't even recognize her husband and daughter, she can still rattle off complex medical theories and surgical details.

No wonder Meredith and she didn't get along; her ex-husband also divorced her.

Like all great doctors who are dedicated to pursuing medical skills, he may also be loved by his family.

But from beginning to end, the only thing I truly loved was medicine.

This love has been etched into my bones and imprinted on my soul.

Too.

Without this level of passion, it would be impossible to create so many medical legends.

"Very good, don't waste any more time, let's get the checkup done quickly."

Alice Grey was pleased with Adam's attitude. She turned around, unbuttoned the back of her clothes, and gestured for Adam to inspect them.

"Take a deep breath."

Adam took the stethoscope and began to examine her.

Alice Grey was extremely cooperative.

George's lips twitched at the sight.

Why should we yell at, curse at, and hit him?

The difference is just too big!

"No wonder Zack cheated on his female student with him..."

George thought to himself, "With a temper like yours, I couldn't stand it either."

Alice Grey revealed this explosive gossip when she was having a bad temper.

He was still on her side.

But now, the contrast with Adam is so stark.

George unconsciously put himself in Zack and realized that facing Alice Grey like this, Zack also had a tough time...

"How about it?"

Alice Grey asked.

"It's probably diverticulitis."

Adam didn't beat around the bush and smiled, "But we'll need to do a scan to confirm."

"Diverticulitis, oh, I guess I'm really getting old."

Alice Grey shook her head.

The formation of diverticula is a typical physiological state of human aging.

The older you get, the more likely it is to happen.

Alice Grey isn't actually that old; she's only in her sixties.

Richard, the Chief of Surgery was in the same cohort of interns as her, had developed vision problems, underwent surgery, and was eager to return to the hospital battlefield.

Sixty years old is not old at all.

This is likely similar to the fact that she has Alzheimer's Disease.

Alzheimer's Disease is also common in people over 70 years old, otherwise it wouldn't be commonly known as senile dementia.

Alice Grey's physical aging is likely far beyond that of her peers.

"Let's go, let's hurry up and get an X-ray."

Alice Grey directed, "The sooner the tests are done, the sooner the surgery can proceed."

"Good."

Adam helped Alice Grey out of bed and gestured for George to push the wheelchair over.

"Damn it, Zack, hurry up and don't waste time."

George hesitated for a moment, Alice Grey immediately snapped, "You can't even do this little thing right? What can I expect from you?"

Get out of here!

Get out of my house!

Get out of my sight!

Go back to your little slut student and mess around with your pitifully small research funding!

My job is the most important!

I'm the one paying for this house!

I'm the one supporting Meredith!

I'm the one supporting you and your precious lifestyle!

Why don't you just leave and let me handle this myself?!

Alice Grey's veins bulged, and if Adam hadn't been holding her, she would have charged at George.

Clearly, while retaining her medical memories, even the slightest stimulation can cause her to exhibit some of the terrifying symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease.

George was at a loss, his chubby face looking so wronged he was about to cry.

What did he do to deserve this?
