Adam Covets Karen

Medical Center.

Just as Meredith contacted Dr. Shepherd.

Pagers went off incessantly.

Adam opened it and immediately ran to the emergency room.

A car accident is being reported on the television screen at the nurses' station.

"At the south exit of the highway, a chain-reaction collision involving 28 cars and 3 trucks occurred. According to reports from the scene, the accident was caused by a car suddenly making a U-turn, colliding with surrounding vehicles. At least 41 people are injured, and several are trapped..."

"Let's get to work!"

At that moment, Susan Lewis from the emergency room also came over and clapped her hands, reminding everyone. "Activate the disaster emergency plan!"

The nurses immediately sprang into action according to the emergency plan they had practiced.

Wheelchairs, stretchers, IV drips, surgical gowns, commonly used medicines, surgical instruments, etc., were all taken out of the storeroom and piled together to reduce the time patients spend retrieving them when they arrive.

Adam and the other doctors also put on their surgical gowns and went to the emergency room entrance to wait.

"There really was an accident, and a big one at that! That's great!"

Cristina, also dressed in surgical scrubs, ran out and huddled close to Adam, whispering excitedly.

Be careful.

Adam cautioned, "This is a humanitarian disaster. Can you please stop getting so excited?"

"What's wrong? Don't tell me you're not excited?"

Cristina glanced at him sideways.

"This is not the same thing."

Adam remained noncommittal. "The TV station is already broadcasting this major accident. Reporters will definitely come with the injured to film the hospital treatment."

If your excited expression gets captured on camera, then congratulations! You'll definitely overshadow the whole incident and become the absolute protagonist. Then you can expect to suffer social annihilation!

Um.

If any member of the patient's family has a short temper.

You won't even have to wait for social death; you'll be killed outright.

Is it really that exaggerated?

Cristina said this, but there was no smile on her face.

She knew Adam was right.

Given the media's penchant for sensationalism, if they actually manage to capture her smiling, she could become an overnight sensation across the entire United States.

She definitely wants to be famous.

But that's not how he made his name as the best Cardiothoracic Surgeon.

"Green indicates minor injury, yellow indicates serious injury, red indicates critical condition, and black indicates death!"

The head nurse is reminding the new nurses not to forget the classification criteria.

"Duncan, you're in charge of the red patients!"

"Yang, you're in charge of the green areas!"

"I'll be in charge of the yellow ones."

Susan Lewis instructed, "The Attending Physician and other residents are on their way to the hospital. We need to stabilize the situation until they arrive, understand?"

"Clear."

"Clear."

Adam was elated by the two responses, while Cristina was deeply disappointed.

She didn't want to deal with the minor injuries to the greenery.

Adam smiled at Susan.

Susan turned her head away, avoiding eye contact with Adam.

Adam smiled bitterly to himself.

It seems that Susan 'Adam indifference really hurt Susan last time.

They're acting all business like it's nothing.

Adam was still grateful, though.

His favorite image is that of a critically ill patient in red.

Saving one of these patients is almost like adding 0.01 to one's Lifespan.

Susan clearly remembered Adam's preference and did not target Adam or prevent Adam from having his way just because their relationship had become distant.

Certainly.

This is also related to the fact that she knew in her heart that her medical skills were far inferior to Adam's.

Regardless, Adam still recognized this favor.

After all.

Are there few people in this world who believe in the principle of "If I'm not doing well, neither should you" and "harm others without benefiting themselves"?

The ambulance arrived quickly.

"At 25, the truck overturned. He wasn't wearing a seatbelt and lost his heartbeat on the spot."

A paramedic straddles a stretcher, continuously performing CPR on the injured person.

"Okay, I'll take care of it."

Adam immediately stepped forward to take over.

Once the patient is saved, they rush off to the next battle.

"Second to third degree burns, 25% of the body surface burned, low blood pressure."

"Comatose, T4 vertebra, step deformity, and muscle relaxation in both legs."

"Dirk Jones, 25, was run over by a van and had his left leg amputated below the waist. He has lost several liters of blood."

"..."

One critically ill patient after another was brought in, Adam would first stabilize their condition before transferring them to different departments.

"Juno, Karen, what brings you here?"

Just as he was busy, Adam suddenly saw Juno and Karen walk in with the paramedics and his heart tightened. "You guys were in a car accident too? Are you alright?"

"We're fine."

Juno shook her head. "Do you need our help?"

"You are not qualified to practice medicine at Medical Center..."

Adam glanced at the chaotic emergency room, where many patients with minor injuries were not receiving timely treatment and the cries of children filled the air. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Come with me!"

Find Susan and quickly introduce her, "Dr. Lewis, this is my friend Juno, Harvard Medical School graduate who is currently an intern at Massachusetts General Hospital. Could she be involved in the treatment?"

"Can."

Susan glanced at Juno: "You can help treat patients marked in green."

"Good."

Juno didn't say a word.

Karen simply grabbed a surgical gown from the hallway, quickly dressed Juno in it, and then accompanied Juno to treat patients.

Before long, night had fallen as they were busy.

More doctors arrived, and all the patients received proper treatment.

The tense atmosphere immediately relaxed.

"That's Dr. Duncan's friend, that's amazing."

"Yes, he seems much better than Dr. Yang!"

"Truly worthy of being Dr. Duncan's friend!"

"He's a top student from Harvard Medical School, and he did his internship at Massachusetts General Hospital. How could he not be amazing!"

"What do you think is her relationship with Dr. Duncan? They seem to have such great chemistry."

"She's either his girlfriend or someone he's flirting with. Didn't you see the way she looked at Dr. Duncan with such affection?"

"It shouldn't be. Didn't you see the girl following her? The way she was looking at her was obviously strange. They should be a couple!"

"That girl seems to be a nurse too, and she looks very professional."

"..."

After the busy period, gossip started flying everywhere again.

Juno and Karen's teamwork instantly relieved Cristina's pressure.

But it also ignited Cristina's competitive spirit.

Then.

Without a word, Cristina began a silent contest with Juno to see who could handle the patient's condition better and faster.

But to Cristina's dismay, she felt as if she were facing Adam again: she was completely overwhelmed.

Just a few months ago, she and Juno were classmates.

Back then, Juno didn't seem to be this good, did she?

Is the teaching quality at Massachusetts General Hospital really that much higher than that of the Medical Center?

Did she come to the wrong place by following Meredith here?

Then.

She then rejected the idea.

"It must be because of Karen!"

Cristina thought bitterly, "With a nurse who knows exactly what to do just by looking at her, the efficiency would definitely increase many times over..."

She's not the only one who's jealous of this.

After coming out of the Operating Room, I watched Juno and Karen working together on Adam from afar for a while, and I couldn't help but feel envious.

They have such great chemistry.

The clouds and water of Taihang Mountain flowed like water.

If only he could have a personal nurse like that.
