A Female Detective Arrives
Medical Center.
Operating Room 3.
As soon as Adam mentioned donating, everyone could picture it in their minds and hear the background music playing in their ears.
"From now on, when security guards see Dr. Duncan, it will probably be just like when the lab staff see Dr. Duncan."
After a long while, a nurse sighed.
"Hehe."
Everyone smiled knowingly.
Before Adam came to the hospital for his internship, he donated a laboratory to the hospital.
With one more laboratory, the Medical Center will naturally need to hire more staff.
This is the root cause of why nurses can cut in line every time they Adam.
Being handsome can only speed up the testing process.
Only those with Money Power can cut in line without restraint.
This is actually quite normal.
Just think about Leonard's fundraising effort for a million-dollar centrifuge at California Institute of Technology's Department of Physics, where he spent time with the professor and ended up exhausted, returning home Great Qing in such a terrible state. That shows the power of Money Power.
Not to mention afterwards, when Leonard arrived at the academy, the principal publicly praised him for "sacrificing his own interests for the greater good," and everyone applauded enthusiastically. The principal secretly whispered in Leonard's ear, "Believe me, I understand."
The president of a world-renowned top university must have gone through countless heartbreaking stories in his quest for sponsorship to utter such a sentiment.
For wealthy individuals like Adam, investing real money in hospitals is not just about creating a few more job opportunities.
That truly enhanced the hospital's core capabilities.
It brings tangible benefits to all staff members.
After all, the better the Medical Center, the more likely the medical staff working there are to expect a raise in salary and benefits.
At least we don't have to worry too much about layoffs anymore.
Let's try a smaller hospital.
If Adam were willing to invest 100 million dollars, he could become the chairman of that hospital.
Even at Medical Center, one can still become an important board member.
But Adam was unwilling to do that.
Because hospitals have their own rules for operation.
Even the chairman of the board doesn't have as much power as you might imagine.
Without the support of a majority of the board members, even firing a doctor is impossible.
Of course, the chairman could threaten to leave with the $100 million investment to force the majority of board members to support him, but the prerequisite is that the majority of directors are willing to compromise and support him.
Adam came here to study medicine, not to act out a hospital workplace drama.
Donating money to build a laboratory is enough to show your support.
If they were to throw a hundred million dollars at Adam, the fame he has worked so hard to gain would likely be discounted by industry insiders from the outset.
Adam sought stability; the rules were there, and no matter how much money he spent, he couldn't be promoted from intern to Attending Physician overnight.
It's not worth it at all.
Given today's situation, we might as well donate a security scanner as well, which would provide an extra layer of safety for all staff members, including Adam himself.
You'll also gain the gratitude of all the staff.
This is the best standard.
The surgery was a success.
After it was over, Adam looked at the +0.01 displayed by the system and had a very happy expression.
"Dr. Duncan, a female detective named Beckett is looking for you."
The nurse looked at Adam with amusement. "Very beautiful~"
Where?
Adam smiled.
"In Consultation Room 7, with that Killer Boy."
"That's what the nurse said."
"I see."
Adam nodded and walked toward Consultation Room 7.
The hospital security guard standing outside opened the door for Adam.
"Kate, what brings you here?"
Adam walked in and greeted a tall, short-haired beauty with a smile.
"This is a murder case, which falls under my jurisdiction, doesn't it?"
Kate walked over, gave Adam a hug, and teased, "What, don't you want to see me?"
"No normal person would want to see you unless there's a reason."
Adam, smelling the familiar scent, joked, "Just like they don't want to see us doctors either."
"That's hard to say."
Kate hugged him for a while before letting go, a smile on her lips, "Once you become more famous, there might be extreme fans who would hurt themselves just to see you more often. Who told you to choose to be a doctor when you could make a living with your looks and talent?"
"I hope not."
Adam said helplessly, "Healing and saving lives is more meaningful. I just want to be a good doctor."
Kate's words made him somewhat alarmed.
It seems that in the future, besides being high-profile within the medical community, we should try to keep a low profile in the public eye.
The plan to edit and distribute open courses like a movie has also been abandoned.
Otherwise, if it attracts extreme fans who resort to self-harm to beg for a meeting, the impact would be too bad.
As a female detective specializing in homicide cases, Kate is very sensitive and insightful about these kinds of things. She probably saw the signs and that's why she half-jokingly and half-reminded.
Thinking of this, Adam gave Kate a grateful look.
Are you sure you want to be a good doctor?
Kate and Adam exchanged a glance. Seeing that Adam understood her reminder, he smiled happily and teased, "I heard that you've been doing all the work of us police officers?"
Wow!
He knocked the assassin's pistol out of his hand with a clamp, flashed in front of the assassin, and stopped him from continuing to use the gun. Then he simply knocked the assassin unconscious with a karate chop.
You're telling me this is a doctor?
"I had no choice."
Adam smiled wryly, "He was about to shoot right then and there. I couldn't just stand by and watch my patient get killed, could I?"
"Are you forced to do the work of us police officers?"
Kate chuckled and said, "If word gets out that, a lot of people in our department will definitely come to have a good talk with you."
"There's no need to spread that message."
Adam laughed and said, "If you come to see me a few more times, someone else will definitely come to me to talk."
Are you scared?
Kate raised an eyebrow.
Do you think I'm scared?
Adam smiled.
"Hehe."
Kate smiled and said, "I'm afraid even if a whole group of them challenged you, they still wouldn't be able to beat you. You're too abnormal."
"They have no idea."
Adam gave him a look that said, "You know what I mean."
Kate immediately lost her composure and blushed.
"Let me treat him."
Adam stopped using his supernatural powers at the right time and walked towards the Killer Boy on the hospital bed who was staring blankly at Adam Kate.
"By the way, did the one they brought in survive?"
Kate asked.
"Um."
Adam nodded and began examining the Killer Boy's arm, casually remarking, "Quite a few people died this time?"
Minor cases usually don't bother Kate.
Eight!
Kate exclaimed, "He killed four!"
Adam glanced at the still calm and indifferent Killer Boy and shook his head inwardly.
Eight people died, and this Killer Boy alone accounted for half of them.
It's not that he's particularly amazing.
Rather, it's because children like him are unlikely to arouse enough vigilance in others. If they are ruthless enough, they can catch their opponents off guard and be very lethal.
Imagine a child riding a bicycle, wobbling and spinning in circles.
What a normal scene.
But as he rode past you on his bike, he suddenly pulled out a gun and started firing at you.
Aside from Adam and a few incredibly lucky individuals, anyone who encounters this is doomed.
P. S.: There will be one more chapter later.
