Mastery Achieved

Early the next morning.

Medical Center.

Changing room.

Liz had just taken a shower and was sitting there with her hair disheveled and head down.

George and Cristina sat beside her.

Meredith leaned against the locker, looking at her with pity.

"My baby Emily is dead."

"We know."

The crowd responded softly.

The quintuplets are now the talk of the Medical Center.

Everyone knew as soon as they arrived.

Baby Emily held on until 4 a. m.

At that time, after a night of emergency treatment, Liz couldn't take it anymore and lay down to sleep for a while.

The nurse was supposed to wake her up.

But Dr. Montgomery had already arrived and, seeing this, instructed the nurse not to call her.

When she woke up and found that baby Emily was missing, she asked the nurse and learned the devastating news.

Then, naturally, comes endless self-blame.

When Dr. Montgomery told her the truth.

As Adam expected, Liz immediately flew into a rage, shouted a few questions, and then turned and left.

After taking a shower and calming down a bit, I feel this endless sadness and confusion.

Just then, Adam walked in.

"You!"

Upon seeing this, Liz's confusion and sadness instantly turned into anger. She stood up and grabbed Adam by the collar. "What were you doing last night? Do you know how many times I slapped you?! Emily is dead!"

"I know."

Adam nodded and said, "We all knew after the surgery yesterday, when they cut open her chest."

"What?!"

Liz was shocked. "You knew too?! You lied to me along with her?!"

"This is not a lie."

Adam patiently explained, "You are an intern who came to the Medical Center for residency training to learn. Last night's lesson was your senior doctor's dedicated instruction to you."

"Teach me?"

Liz laughed, "In such a cruel way?"

What methods are not cruel?

Adam said gently, "We've been interning for a few months now, and we've witnessed so much sadness and heartbreak. Isn't that cruel? If you can't handle it, then it just means you're not suited to be a doctor. It's better to leave sooner rather than later, because such cruel things will be happening in front of you every day from now on."

"Adam!"

Meredith frowned and said, "Liz is feeling unwell right now, so you should say less."

Did I say something wrong?

Adam interrupted, "Do you know why Dr. Montgomery did that? Precisely because Liz's shortcomings in this area are too obvious."

That's too emotional!

Take Mrs. Rusebin's case as an example.

As the attending physician, she immediately mocked the pregnant patient upon meeting her, saying that the couple should read the instructions carefully before taking fertility-enhancing drugs.

Why?

It's just because he can't stand patients and is too emotional!

Then.

For things that moved her deeply.

She also resorts to all sorts of moral blackmail.

She acted as if anyone who didn't do what she said was a bad person.

It seems like they're doing everything they can for the patient's good.

But can such an emotional doctor really deal with patients' conditions rationally and calmly?

At a critical moment.

Let's not even discuss the horrific question of whether she might intentionally or unintentionally let patients she dislikes die.

Take, for example, the patient who was particularly fond of her and deeply moved by her.

The other person was originally beyond saving.

But when she gets emotional, will she do anything to save the other person?

If it's a transplant, it would take away the chance of survival for patients who could have received treatment.

Isn't this a form of murder?

At this point, Adam turned his gaze from the stunned Meredith to the dumbfounded Liz: "So, I agree with Dr. Montgomery's request for me to keep this a secret and risk teaching you such a cruel lesson."

Even if I had to do it all over again, I would still say yes.

If you find this completely unacceptable, or even think we've done something terribly wrong, then I advise you not to become a doctor.

Because of your emotional nature, one day you will actually kill the patient.

Only then will you realize what true cruelty is!

After saying that, he pushed away Liz's weak hand that was gripping his collar, walked to his locker, and began to change his clothes.

The changing room was deathly silent.

When Adam finished changing his clothes, he saw Cristina give him a helpless smile, George looked on with pity, Meredith glared at him, and Liz stood there with tears streaming down her face. He couldn't help but sigh.

"Which excellent doctor hasn't had a patient die because of their own negligence?"

You can ask Dr. Green, Dr. Shepherd, Dr. Burke, or even the Chief of Surgery.

They were dealing with real patients who could have been saved but died because of their own mistakes.

That kind of torture is truly cruel.

In comparison.

You are incredibly lucky to have this opportunity.

Dr. Montgomery took a risk for this lesson; he genuinely wanted what was best for you.

If you calm down and think things through, thank her, learn from her skills, and try to treat as many patients as possible in the future.

Speaking of which...

Adam shut up, offering no advice on what to do if he couldn't figure it out. He exchanged a glance with Meredith, who was glaring at him, gave a cold laugh, and left.

Meredith is completely insane now.

She wasn't objecting to his words at all, but rather to him speaking up for his rival, Dr. Montgomery.

Another example of someone who is emotional.

It's just a bit better than Liz's situation.

It's no wonder that despite her exceptional talent, she was always looked down upon by her mother, Alice Grey.

Legendary figures like Alice Grey could maintain a complete lack of private contact with her dedicated surgical nurse for eighteen years, even though she deeply admired the nurse.

Only when she developed Alzheimer's Disease and could no longer remember her daughter would she reveal such feelings, smiling and saying how kind the nurse was whenever she mentioned the surgery nurse.

This unwavering composure, embracing the loneliness of being at the top, is the foundation of a legend.

Morning.

"Thanks."

In the corridor, Adam encountered Dr. Montgomery, who called out to him and thanked him sincerely.

Clearly, she had also heard what was said in the changing room.

Adam was not surprised at all.

Because the changing room was a large one, which could be used by surgical interns, it appeared to be just Cristina and a few others when he spoke.

But there were other surgical interns in the inner room.

In one morning, I knew everything I needed to know.

Emmm.

This was absolutely not Adam deliberately putting on a show to curry favor with Dr. Montgomery, the current star of the Medical Center Chief of Neonatology.

His words came from the bottom of his heart.

Um.

That's it!

"You're welcome."

Adam asked, "Has Liz figured it out?"

"With your wake-up call, she should come to her senses."

Dr. Montgomery laughed.

She had just bumped into Liz. During their eye contact, the Experienced Women could tell that Liz's emotions had changed; she was less angry and more complicated.

This is clearly a good start.

She probably doesn't need to select another person to train.

She acknowledged Adam's favor.

"Hehe."

Upon seeing this, Adam smiled slightly, and a glint of light seemed to flash across the white teeth that were just visible at the corners of his mouth.
