Miracle Upon Miracle
Medical Center.
Why did you come here?
"I heard someone wants to kill you?"
"Just another impulsive oddball. He'll be fine once he calms down."
Adam smiled at Cristina, who should have been resting, and said, "Dr. Burke didn't come today. Didn't he come to see you?"
Emmm.
That's what they say.
However, Adam had already informed the old police officer and added this guy who liked Black Widow to the watch list as well.
Tensions in doctor-patient relationships are a global problem.
Not to mention the United States enjoys happiness every day.
How could someone as steady as Adam, so impulsive as to say he wanted to kill, possibly ignore it?
Yes!
The other party couldn't do anything to him, but if any of his friends got hurt, that would be something Adam absolutely couldn't accept.
"Stop talking!"
Cristina rolled her eyes and said, "He's like that thing that's always sticking to you and you can't get rid of him. Right now he's at Meredith's house, teaching Liz how to make a turkey dinner using the methods he uses to teach surgery."
"Simple."
Adam joked, "If you say that to Dr. Burke's face, I guarantee he won't bother you anymore, but are you willing to do that?"
As a top surgeon, Dr. Burke's pride goes without saying.
Even if he liked Cristina very much, once she said such a thing, a breakup was inevitable.
"I'll go see if there's any surgery available."
Cristina ignored that and changed the subject, saying, "I told them I came out to buy alcohol. Can you imagine that Meredith, the alcoholic, didn't have a single bottle of alcohol at home?"
She was clearly reluctant to part with it.
In her career, Dr. Burke was the authoritative expert type she admired most.
In terms of lifestyle, they are homebodies.
I make breakfast and coffee in the morning, and dinner in the evening.
The key is that his family owns a restaurant, and he likes to use surgical methods to hone his culinary skills, so the food he makes is very delicious.
In the Medical Center Charm Poison incident, Cristina had already gone for a check-up, but Dr. Burke told her not to go because he had never had an intimate relationship with anyone other than her.
Living a life that involves going back and forth between the hospital and home every day, she is definitely a person who keeps herself clean and virtuous.
The key point is that he has always been very proactive.
For a passive person like Cristina, such a blessed boyfriend, even if she complains about him, she must care about him very much in her heart, how could she possibly bear to part with him.
"You're joking again."
Adam laughed, "Does a drunkard necessarily have to keep alcohol at home? Who does she drink with? Liz or George? It's not as fun as going to a bar to drown your sorrows, trying your luck by bringing a man home to have fun, then kicking him out the next morning and going to work refreshed! She's not just a drunkard, she's Experienced Women! That's what a drunkard- Experienced Women is like!"
"Go tell Meredith those words, and see if she doesn't fight you to the death!"
Cristina said something and walked toward the operating Operating Room.
She simply couldn't stand the sight of her boyfriend trying so hard to integrate into her social circle and easily winning over everyone in it.
It's as if her personal space has been completely invaded by the other person.
It was very difficult for her, who aspired to become 'God'.
That's why she took the opportunity of going out to buy alcohol to come to the hospital, hoping to have a few surgeries to calm her nerves and regain her composure.
"Adam!"
Around the corner, Meredith hurried over, her eyes lighting up when she saw Adam.
What are you doing here?
Adam asked in surprise, "Aren't you Liz's biggest supporter?"
"I do support her, but there's nothing I can do to help. It's enough that George is helping her."
Meredith offered an embarrassed explanation, then got to the point. "Come quick, help me! A person who has been in a permanent vegetative state for 16 years has suddenly opened their eyes and is looking at me!"
"Don't get agitated, it's perfectly normal for some physiological reflexes to still be present."
As Adam spoke, he followed her to see what was wrong. "What's the patient's condition?"
Dr. Shepherd and the Attending Physician have mostly gone back.
Besides, even if he were still alive, Meredith would avoid looking for him if possible.
"The patient's name is Holden Mike, a firefighter who was injured by a falling piece of debris while on duty and became a permanent vegetative state patient who has been in a nursing home."
Meredith quickly said, "When the nurse was turning him over today, she accidentally made him fall off the bed. The insurance company thinks he needs to be examined. He has a skull fracture and a hematoma."
I was planning to rinse and examine the wound, repair the damage, and then take a CT scan to rule out brain hemorrhage, abrasions, or swelling, but he just opened his eyes and looked at me.
As they spoke, they arrived at the ward.
Adam noticed that the patient's eyes were indeed open the whole time. After a careful examination, he found that the patient's eyes would move from time to time, and that they were tracking Meredith's voice.
"He is definitely looking at you. Go get an MRI."
Adam laughed and said, "Maybe you're his angel today, leading a person in a vegetative state to create a miracle and wake up again. This is just like a plot from a melodramatic soap opera."
Upon hearing this, Meredith's self-pitying aura immediately subsided, and her gaze toward the patient was filled with expectation.
MRI Room.
"I think we need to see Dr. Shepherd."
Adam looked at the MRI scan and said, "His brain hasn't shrunk, he has a minimum level of consciousness, he's not in a vegetative state at all."
"What?!"
Meredith exclaimed in shock, "He's not in a vegetative state? But he's been lying in a nursing home for 16 years? Didn't the medical staff notice?"
Is that strange?
Adam glanced at her. "Not everyone can stay in Dr. Grey's nursing home. He's just a firefighter with basic medical insurance. The nursing home he stays in can't be very nice, otherwise there wouldn't have been an accident where he was rolled over and fell off the bed."
"Nobody cares about him!"
Meredith empathized and murmured, "He lay there like that for sixteen years."
There's nothing we can do about it.
Adam cautioned, "His brain has slowly recovered over the years. If we hadn't patiently observed him for a while, we would have just thought of it as a residual physiological reflex."
One can imagine that sixteen years ago, when he couldn't even open his eyes, a CT scan would have shown him to be in a vegetative state. Any doctor would have concluded that he was in a vegetative state.
"What do we do now?"
Meredith asked.
"Of course, we should call Dr. Shepherd."
Adam laughed and said, "Given his current condition, we can use medication to wake him up."
"Really? That's great!"
Meredith momentarily forgot the awkwardness between herself and Dr. Shepherd and genuinely cheered for the patient's awakening.
"Don't be happy so soon."
Adam cautioned, "Being able to wake up isn't necessarily a good thing for him. Sixteen years is enough time to change everything! He might not be able to accept it!"
Emmm.
Sixteen years later, if Yang Guo jumped to the bottom of the cliff and found not just Xiao Longnü alone, but Xiao Longnü and Zhen Zibing with their Little Xiao Longnü, living happily as a family of three...
So Yang Guo Duo probably just wanted to die from the fall when he jumped off the cliff.
Certainly.
Perhaps Xiao Longnü and Zhen Zibing felt guilty and discovered Yang Guo's arrival in advance, so they hid and had Little Xiao Longnü come forward to trick Yang Guo away, thus creating a happy ending for the Condor Heroes.
For specific instructions, refer to Yang Buhui.
She knows this one!
One glimpse of Yang Guo and your life is ruined.
Little Xiao Longnü was naturally willing.
Otherwise, since Xiao Longnü was originally older than Yang Guo, and sixteen years had passed, Yang Guo would be a weathered middle-aged man, while she would still look like she was in her late teens. That would be too fantastical.
And.
In the author's eyes, the life of the real-life inspiration for Xiao Longnü was also imperfect.
After all, she didn't accept the author's love.
Emmm.
Thinking about it this way, and then considering Yang Buhui's outrageous actions in the author's writing.
And the connection between the author's portrayal of Yun Zhonghe as a lecherous scoundrel and the novel's reality...
It really does easily lead to speculation.
I wonder if this patient will also encounter such a dramatic situation...
