Twisted Hierarchy
Noon.
Self-service restaurant.
"...135, 155, 175...485!"
Liz was happily counting her stack of dollars.
"You've gone too far."
George was green with envy. "The pregnant man didn't even tell me!"
"It's a teratoma, not pregnancy!"
Liz corrected, "It was Cristina's idea. Who told you to be so proactive during rounds? Didn't you see we all said we didn't know? You didn't really think we didn't know, did you?"
"..."
George was speechless.
It's understandable if Liz and Meredith didn't know.
But Cristina, who is a quick learner, is the most outstanding surgical intern besides Adam.
How could Cristina not know the answer to a question he could answer so easily?
But it's not his fault.
During regular ward rounds, he was never really noticeable.
Either Cristina the first to answer.
Either Dr. Shepherd will designate Meredith to answer.
Now, with the addition of Dr. Montgomery, they've also set their sights on Liz is said to have considerable talent in pediatrics.
As the only male in the group of four, he had no dignity or sense of presence.
It's perfectly normal for him to feel a surge of pride and self-satisfaction when he suddenly bumps into three female warriors in the morning, with everyone's attention focused on him.
Emmm.
That's the last remaining male hormones causing the problem.
This was also to give him more realistic ground and confidence to fantasize about having group sex with Meredith, Liz, and Cristina.
That's right!
Don't be fooled by the fact that everyone, including Meredith, treats him as a gay best friend.
But he, George O'Malley, is also a real man!
The fantasy of multi-person activities is not lacking at all!
However, I had just had that fantasy last time when I was immediately struck by Charm Poison.
Then he was pinned down and given an injection by Meredith and the other two female hooligans, and was subjected to their crazy ridicule, which was completely different from what he had imagined.
Now he has suffered another great loss. He had been triumphant during the morning rounds in front of Meredith and the other two, but it was not what he had imagined. He even missed such a wonderful moment because of it.
"They didn't tell me either."
As Adam walked by carrying the plate, he heard this and laughed, saying, "Besides, you didn't know, so you didn't ask. I asked on my own initiative, and they treated me like a thief."
"Hey-hey."
Upon hearing this, Liz couldn't help but chuckle as she touched the thick wad of US dollars.
"If I were you, I would quickly put away these ill-gotten gains."
Adam cautioned, "Be careful not to be envied."
"What do you mean by ill-gotten gains? We earned this money honestly and fairly."
Liz muttered to herself, but after glancing at the stares around her, she still instinctively stuffed the money into her pocket.
"Who will be Mr. Herman's attending physician, you or Meredith?"
Adam asked casually as he ate.
He's not like Sheldon or Leonard; he's not afraid of choking on his food or words.
"You've given up?"
Liz was delighted.
Normally, this would have been decided long ago.
But this time it was very special.
The ward was always packed with doctors, including the Chief of Surgery.
Everyone was watching this rare case from beginning to end.
The so-called attending physician is a joke.
Do you dare to give orders in front of so many resident physicians, Attending Physician, and Chief of Surgery?
No one but Adam had the guts to do it.
Cristina, who should have been the attending physician, was punished by being made to do dirty and tiring work.
Liz and Meredith were among the first to witness this case, but they were assigned by Dr. Bailey in turn, and it was not explicitly stated who they were.
If it weren't for Dr. Bailey still having some integrity...
Liz suspected that Dr. Bailey must have taken on all the work.
Therefore, until they enter the Operating Room, it's still unknown who will follow them in.
"I have heart surgery this afternoon."
Adam shook his head and sighed.
If it weren't for the scheduling conflict, he would definitely be at the forefront for such a rare case.
However, Mrs. Griswold's local anesthesia for cardiac surgery is also very rare.
And Leonard will definitely let him be the surgeon.
Rather than just following along as Chief of Surgery, Adam naturally opted for heart surgery.
That's right!
This time, even the Chief of Surgery couldn't resist and personally took part in the teratoma removal surgery.
Nobody can take him away from him!
Bang!
At that moment, Cristina came over quickly with a plate, slammed it down on the table, and began to eat heartily.
"What are you looking at? I'm starving!"
Seeing everyone's gazes, she rolled her eyes and continued chewing.
"Hey, is that rectal examination lubricant stuck on you?"
Liz caught a glimpse of the oil stains on Cristina's chest and couldn't help but look disgusted.
Cristina glanced down at Liz, who was looking down on her, and thinking about the current situation, she immediately became furious, her small eyes flashing with a fighting light.
"So what if I have? Have you never used it, or have you never been used?"
"What?"
Liz stared at Cristina in disbelief, her smile gradually freezing.
"Is it too noisy in Mr. Herman's ward? Is your hearing being affected?"
Cristina snapped, "Guess what I did all morning? Two infected wounds, a catheter, a groin abscess, four necrotic skin removals, five severe bouts of diarrhea, and the rectal exam lubricant you complained about is nothing!"
Upon hearing this, Liz's anger vanished, replaced by a look of sympathy.
"I'm Bailey's best intern! I discovered Mr. Herman first and snatched him from the psychiatry department!"
Cristina grew increasingly angry. "Why am I being punished like this! And why am I the only one being punished!"
"I remember Bailey secretly praising us, didn't he?"
Liz chuckled.
Dr. Bailey publicly reprimanded them for snatching this rare case from the psychiatric ward, but privately praised them for doing a good job.
"I think she knows about me and Burke."
Cristina said dejectedly.
"Then it's not our fault."
Upon hearing this, Liz immediately stopped feeling embarrassed. "Meredith was also punished by Dr. Bailey. You brought this on yourselves. Who told you to date your Attending Physician?"
"Shhh."
Cristina immediately shushed her, looking around. "Don't tell anyone, I don't want to end up like Meredith."
"You and Dr. Burke have made up again?"
Adam exclaimed in surprise.
"He somehow found out about it and adopted a very humble attitude."
Cristina observed everyone's expressions. "If they say they want to continue, I have no objection."
That refers to Cristina's Ectopic Pregnancy, which was planted by Dr. Burke and almost killed Cristina.
Dr. Burke pursued the position and power of Chief of Surgery.
But his heart wasn't as hard as that of the Chief of Surgery Richard. After learning the news from a bird, he felt extremely guilty for dumping Cristina at that time.
George lowered his head and ate voraciously.
"It's you, George!"
Cristina immediately identified the little bird.
"It's not my fault."
George said shyly, "Dr. Burke said I'm his good helper..."
"Hehe."
Adam couldn't help but laugh.
The hospital has a clear hierarchy of doctors.
What interns crave most is praise from their senior doctors.
Phrases like "You're my buddy" or "You're one of my people" are very high compliments.
Some languages are quite vulgar, and they might even use crude terms like "you are my bitch" as a form of affection.
Even so, regardless of gender, doctors working under such a superior would want to hear these words, and might even proactively say, "I'm your bitch."
Just like Chandler did when he was working in IT data processing.
Their supervisor's favorite thing to do was to give his favorite subordinate a good slap on the buttocks and praise him for doing a great job.
Chandler was initially very averse to it and even risked offending his superior by bringing it up himself, asking his superior not to do it.
But when his boss stopped doing that and only punished his colleagues, he started to miss it.
Then their supervisor, who had already seen through everything, smiled and asked Chandler if he still insisted on not wanting it.
Chandler hesitated for a moment, but then ran over happily, only to be given a good slap by his boss, and once again became his boss's favorite subordinate.
