Medical Center.

After comforting the pregnant woman, Liz was left to take care of her.

A group of Attending Physician came to the conference room for a consultation.

Richard, the Chief of Surgery who took this case very seriously, also rushed over after receiving the news.

Adam, as one of the attending physicians, also joined this high-level consultation.

"Duncan, you were the first to discover it, so tell us about it."

Chief of Surgery Richard was the first to acknowledge Adam's contribution, speaking with a kind expression.

Emmm.

Don't be surprised.

The security scanner at the hospital entrance is being installed.

The Chief of Surgery was feeling a surge of excitement.

Just like the days when Adam came in to donate and build a laboratory.

Once this time has passed, the Chief of Surgery will naturally revert to being the fair, authoritative, Wushuang big boss.

Tsk!

That's how amazing it is!

"Good."

Adam, unfazed, held up the ultrasound images and pointed to the subtle symptoms, saying, "The fetus in the very center, named Lucy, is showing signs of cerebral edema. If the condition worsens, it can cause brain damage."

We can implant a shunt to drain the cerebrospinal fluid.

The second fetus from the left, named Emily, shows signs of hypoplasia of the left ventricle, with incomplete development of the left ventricle and abnormal narrowing of the ventricular valve connecting the left and right ventricles.

We can perform the Norwood Procedure.

After birth, the first stage of surgery is performed to reconstruct the ascending aortic arch and the main pulmonary shunt.

Six to twelve months later, a second-stage bidirectional cavitary shunt procedure will be performed.

Six months after the second surgery, the third stage of the modified Fonton Procedure was performed.

The second one from the right, this fetus named Julie, shows organs growing inside an external sac.

After birth, we remove the membranes that cover the organs, then make a small incision in the baby's abdomen and put the organs back in.

Oh, right.

These surgeries are theoretically better performed as early as possible, especially for the fetus in the middle named Lucy, who has cerebral hydrops.

However, considering the remaining two fetuses, they need to stay in the mother's uterus as much as possible.

Choosing the right time is quite difficult.

I recommend closely monitoring Lucy's intracranial pressure, considering the duration of the surgery, and setting a threshold; if this threshold is exceeded, surgery should be performed immediately.

"Very good."

Chief of Surgery Richard beamed, immediately offering positive affirmation, then looked around at the group of department heads and doctors. "What would you like to say? Add anything?"

Chief of Neonatology Dr. Montgomery: "..."

Neurosurgery Chief of Surgery Dr. Shepherd: "..."

Dr. Burke, Chief of Surgery: "..."

Adam has already said everything, what else is there for them to say?

Damn it!

How can an intern know everything?!

No!

They don't believe it.

"Duncan, do you know about the Norwood Procedure and the Fonton Procedure?"

Dr. Burke couldn't help but start nitpicking.

He knew that Adam had a photographic memory, a gifted ability called High-Definition Image Memory.

With this enviable ability, it's normal to memorize a lot of medical knowledge if you work hard.

But remembering doesn't mean you can understand and apply it.

If he doesn't represent the chief physicians of each department to nitpick.

What's the point of a consultation then?

Let Adam perform all by himself.

Does that mean that Adam, a mere intern, is equivalent to the head doctors of their three departments?

"I've reviewed the information..."

Adam said modestly.

"Then you know..."

Dr. Burke immediately began asking about some surgical details.

But then he could only manage a wry smile.

Adam's answers were so detailed that they shocked him and greatly inspired him.

Damn it!

This type of surgery is extremely rare; even Dr. Burke himself has never performed it.

Like Adam, he had only read the information and knew how to do it.

Then, based on years of surgical experience, they simply deduce the details of the surgery.

Who knew that Adam seemed to know more than he did.

The key point is that it's very reasonable; you can tell it's feasible at a glance, leaving him with no suitable argument to refute it.

"Have you done this?"

Dr. Burke finally couldn't contain his curiosity and asked a question.

No, not at all.

Adam shook his head. "But Dr. Grey has done it before, and we happened to have discussed the surgery before, so I am quite clear about some of the details."

"..."

Everyone fell silent again.

This time, even the Chief of Surgery Richard, remained silent.

The legendary female doctor Alice Grey was an insurmountable obstacle in his heart.

They were colleagues who interned together.

Back then.

He was exceptionally talented, charming, and highly sought after.

But Alice Grey was more talented than him.

This made him both annoyed and captivated by her charm.

So, he used his skillful flirting techniques to easily win her heart.

Even though she was already married at that time.

He also had a fiancée, who is now his wife.

After years of entanglement.

Alice Grey had given him all her love, and her infidelity was so great that even her honest, long-suffering husband couldn't stand it anymore and left him.

But when she came to him with her young daughter Meredith, he refused to accept the promise they made during their romantic rendezvous that they would leave their partners and start new families.

His wife was no match for Alice Grey.

But Alice Grey is a fire, an ice, a sword, and could even be described as a demon or a god, but she is definitely not human.

But his wife was a person, a living, breathing human being.

All right.

That's pure nonsense.

The truth is that he couldn't accept a stronger Alice Grey who was constantly suppressing him.

He was nearing his breaking point in terms of his career.

Not to mention life itself.

He never intended to be with Alice Grey.

Deeply affected, Alice Grey had no choice but to leave New York and head to Boston, where she began an even more extraordinary and legendary life.

He also became the Chief of Surgery at the Medical Center, becoming a prominent figure in the field.

When his daughter Meredith contacted him wanting to intern there, he agreed without hesitation.

He felt guilty about what he had done back then.

Now that he has achieved great success, he naturally wants to make amends and alleviate his guilt.

Then he heard that the legendary woman had developed Alzheimer's Disease and forgotten everything.

That moment.

He felt both sad and relieved.

The darkness of the past has vanished.

From then on, he wanted to be an upright Chief of Surgery, a kind elder, and a truly good person.

But now, Alice Grey's name has reappeared in this way, as if he has returned to the days when, no matter how talented he was, he still had to look up to legends.

This made him, the powerful director, very uncomfortable.

"Should we invite Dr. Grey to come for a consultation?"

Dr. Burke hesitated.

"No!"

The Chief of Surgery Richard, immediately objected. "She now has Alzheimer's Disease and is theoretically no longer able to participate in consultations as a doctor."

At this point, fearing that his attitude might arouse suspicion, he added, "Since Dr. Duncan has already communicated with Alice, with his abilities, he can assist you in the surgery."

Dr. Burke could only nod.

Adam gave a reserved smile.

The surgeon for this operation has been secured.

Because he is more familiar with the surgical details Dr. Burke and assists in the surgery, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to stand in the position of first assistant and occasionally give Dr. Burke a few pointers, would it?

Look what it's become!

He was the primary surgeon, with Dr. Burke acting as his mentor and assistant, occasionally offering a few innocuous remarks to demonstrate his teaching role.

That way, one can maintain one's dignity.

"Well."

Dr. Burke sighed inwardly.

Who would have thought that an intern could put him in such an awkward situation?

It's so tough being a mentor these days.

P. S.: Thanks to Big Tiger and Fei Cai Shu Chi for the donations!
