You Teaching Me How to Do My Job?

Medical Center.

"So, Dr. Duncan, it's settled then?"

After making a joke, Dr. Montgomery felt a bit better and laughed.

"OK."

Adam, who was called a "pretty face," suppressed his inner complaints and nodded with a smile, "The director said that everyone is now under your command, Dr. Shepherd, so naturally we are all your people."

Dr. Montgomery's smile faltered, he gave Adam a deep look, nodded, and left.

How could she not hear the veiled rebuttal in Adam's words?

But what Adam said was also true.

It's only Chief of Surgery is speaking up, and it's such a rare case, that she can mobilize everyone.

You won't get this treatment anymore.

In fact, she had already been ridiculed and criticized by her husband, the Chief of Surgery neurosurgery, and Dr. Burke, the Chief of Surgery, when they were communicating earlier.

One person said, "Of course, no problem, because I don't need to head a Neurosurgery department."

One person said, "That's right, obviously our department has to follow your orders."

The core message can be summed up in one sentence: Are you going to teach me how to do things?

Not to mention that the Shepherd Couple were equals, their relationship was deeply fractured.

Even Dr. Burke and Cristina, who were in the 'honeymoon phase' despite their completely unequal social status, were no exception.

Not long ago, they finally left the hospital and had a proper date.

But according to Cristina's later description, the scene was incredibly awkward.

The two sat there quietly, looking left and right, their eyes occasionally meeting before quickly looking away.

It's just like when Adam past life were arranged to meet, but they didn't like each other and had to wait for a meal together.

When ordering, Dr. Burke wanted to order lobster for Cristina, as it would pair better with red wine.

But Cristina refused outright and ordered a steak by herself.

You eat red meat?

Dr. Burke was stunned.

Aren't you going to eat?

Cristina replied that she knew Dr. Burke was against eating red meat, but she had no intention of giving in.

If it weren't for the sudden onset of illness by the guest sitting next to them, the two of them would have instantly transformed into doctors, allowing Dr. Burke to see the doctor he loved Cristina, once again.

This relationship will probably end right there.

This shows how resistant an excellent surgeon is to being taught how to do things she doesn't need to learn.

Dr. Montgomery was struck on a nerve by one of Adam's words.

What she needs now is an assistant she can teach to do things.

Well.

She looked down on those who lacked ability.

Those who are capable often have tempers.

Adam was clearly out of luck.

Let's focus on nurturing Liz has some talent but also a bit of a temper.

VIP ward.

Because it could potentially make the Medical Center's Neonatology a household name, the hospital gave Mrs. Rusebin the best treatment.

Why are you here?

Liz asked curiously as Adam approached.

"Dr. Shepherd asked me to get involved as well."

Adam offered an explanation.

"Oh."

Liz didn't think much of it, assuming Adam was a backup, and introduced him to Mrs. Rusebin was lying there, with a smile.

"This is Dr. Duncan, the best intern in our Medical Center. Dr. Shepherd has obviously gone to great lengths to make your delivery smoother."

"Hello, Mrs. Rusebin."

"Hello, Dr. Duncan."

Mrs. Rusebin looked at Adam and smiled happily, "Dr. Shepherd is so thoughtful. It seems I made the right choice."

Adam carefully examined all the data, frowned, and personally performed Ultrasound examination on Mrs. Rusebin.

"What's wrong?"

Mrs. Rusebin, who had been staring intently at Adam, suddenly became nervous.

What did you discover?

Liz was astonished.

"Call Dr. Shepherd."

As Adam looked at the Ultrasound images, he said to Liz, "Call both Dr. Shepherd, we need to have a consultation here. Oh, and Dr. Burke too."

"Good."

Liz wanted to press for answers, but after Adam glanced at her, she chose to believe him and went to call for help.

"Is there something wrong with the child?"

Mrs. Rusebin said in a trembling voice.

"Um."

Adam was also having a headache.

It is very important for pregnant women to maintain a stable mood.

In particular, she was pregnant with quintuplets.

However, he did discover a significant problem, so it couldn't be said that everything was fine.

So he could only try to comfort her, saying, "But it should all be solvable, don't worry too much."

"What exactly happened?"

Mrs. Rusebin was no longer in the mood to appreciate Adam's stunning good looks, nor did she have the composure to deal with the situation rationally. She asked him in a panic.

"The third child in the middle."

Adam had no choice but to carefully consider his words.

"Lucy!"

Mrs. Rusebin called out the name of the unborn child.

"Yes, Lucy."

Adam carefully considered his words and slowly said, "She has symptoms of cerebral edema, a condition in which cerebrospinal fluid accumulates in the brain."

Excessive accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid can increase pressure in an infant's brain, potentially causing brain damage.

However, we discovered it early, so we can treat it quickly. As long as there are no complications, she will make a full recovery.

Speak as slowly as possible to buy time for Dr. Shepherd and his team to arrive.

"No brain damage?"

Mrs. Rusebin pressed on with further questions.

"No brain damage."

Adam nodded.

How to treat it?

Mrs. Rusebin breathed a sigh of relief and then asked for more details.

"A specific treatment plan can only be given after Dr. Shepherd arrives."

Adam was very law-abiding.

"Oh."

Mrs. Rusebin had seen many doctors and knew a bit about the rules of the hospital. She nodded upon hearing this, and then thought of the key question.

"Is there anything else? Why do we need to see Dr. Burke?"

"Dr. Burke is the Chief of Surgery at our hospital."

Adam was in a terrible predicament.

Fortunately, Dr. Shepherd and his team arrived by then.

"What's going on?"

"Dr. Shepherd, look."

Adam breathed a sigh of relief, finally no longer having to face the pregnant woman who was about to suffer a major blow alone, and pointed to the Ultrasound image.

"The third fetus began to show symptoms of cerebral edema, the left ventricle of the second fetus on the left was not fully developed, and the organs of the second fetus on the right were protruding from the body."

"Hahaha."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Rusebin suddenly laughed, "Three out of my five children have problems, hahaha!"

At this point, he burst into wild laughter.

"Don't get agitated."

The two Dr. Shepherd stared intently at the somewhat blurry images, Adam could only offer words of comfort, "These are all treatable surgically."

A while later.

Only after Adam repeatedly reminded them did the two Dr. Shepherd notice the extremely subtle symptoms in the blurry image.

In fact, after another day or two, with a detailed examination, they would be able to discover these symptoms.

But in this situation, being pointed out by Adam naturally feels both shocking and unbelievable.

However, they accepted Adam's diagnosis and began to do everything they could to calm the pregnant woman who was on the verge of going crazy.

For a long time.

Mrs. Rusebin calmed down and, with tears in her eyes, accepted that all three of her daughters had problems, but that they were all treatable.

Adam sighed inwardly.

Because in her eyes, he saw endless regret.

Adam knew that more than one doctor, like Liz, had advised her to give up on two of them and give the other three a better chance to grow.

Even her husband thought so.

She insisted that not a single one should be missing.

In this situation, she has no excuse to blame anyone but herself.

This must be incredibly agonizing for a mother.
