Adam's Reputation Crisis

Medical Center.

Self-service restaurant.

Adam's words silenced George.

"She might not regret it..."

George said bitterly.

"Maybe."

Adam nodded. "But you can't deny the possibility that she might regret it. She's still a teenager, her mind is still developing. What she likes extremely today, she might hate extremely tomorrow. Can you guarantee she won't regret it?"

The fickleness of human nature is no joke.

"So we're just going to do nothing?"

Liz couldn't bear it.

"We are just doctors, only responsible for professional matters, just Tool Person."

Adam shook his head and said, "The rest of the rights and consequences of life choices should be decided by the patients themselves and their families; we cannot interfere."

Without this principle, big problems will arise sooner or later.

Let's go back to Beth's case.

Communicate well with her parents and remove the actual cause of the disease, the lymph node tumor.

Whether or not to have surgery to change her mind can be decided by Beth herself after she comes of age.

What's the rush?

"..."

George paused, then said, "But Beth is confused..."

Please!

Adam quipped, "Teenagers have a lot of questions. If you guide them properly and let time heal them, many of these questions will seem like ridiculous confusion when you look back on them later in life, okay?"

"George, listen to Adam."

Liz was convinced and advised, "I think he's right. There's no need to rush into deciding whether or not to have the surgery. This decision can be left to Beth when she's an adult."

"...All right."

George gave a wry smile.

He finally acted like a man for once, and impulsively argued with Dr. Montgomery for it.

I thought it was for Beth good.

But it seems like a joke.

I acted impulsively out of loneliness.

"Hehe."

Adam couldn't help but chuckle.

"Why are you laughing?"

Liz was puzzled.

"I'm laughing at you guys."

Adam shook his head and said, "When others are doing residency training, they are mainly improving their skills, but you, George, Meredith seem to be mainly improving your character."

I really don't know what to say.

"..."

Liz and George both turned pale, clearly offended.

But when he met Adam's gaze, he was speechless.

Because the three of them do indeed have their own problems, many of which are not technical but rather psychological.

This rarely happens to other interns.

Cristina also had almost none.

Adam was even more perfect.

"But thinking about it, it's understandable."

Adam laughed and said, "The three of you are all very talented in medicine. Talented people naturally have their own temperaments and persistence, which makes them stand out from the crowd."

"And what about you and Cristina?"

Liz couldn't help but sneer, "Don't you guys have any talent?"

Adam smiled without saying a word.

In his view, Liz and her two friends were all mediocre and incompetent.

The other interns, who were not as talented as them, naturally studied quietly and dared not break the rules.

Adam and Cristina, on the other hand, are far more talented than Tongji University students and have the mindset of excellent doctors. Naturally, like the less talented interns, they will not break the rules.

Only the three of them were stuck in the middle, their mentality unstable, and they were always causing trouble.

"Adam!"

Just then, Meredith ran over, panting, and asked, "Do you speak the island language?"

"Meeting."

Adam nodded.

"Great, come with me."

Meredith pulled Adam toward the ward. "There's a female patient from Island Nation. We can't communicate with her; her translator seems to have some problems."

Is there a problem with the translation?

Adam asked in surprise.

"Um."

Meredith said as he walked, "This patient is named Yumi Miyazaki, 22 years old. She kept hiccuping. We injected her with 50 milliliters of sedative, and after a while, she started hiccuping again."

Dr. Bailey asked me to arrange for her to have an esophageal X-ray scan, which revealed a tear in her esophagus that required immediate surgical repair.

But her translator, who was also her coach, told her that she was going to participate in a competitive eating contest in New York that afternoon, seemingly unwilling to tell her the truth and wanting her to continue participating.

"A competitive eater?"

Adam grinned. "Your esophagus is ruptured, and you still want to continue competing? You're risking your life for money! This kind of profession wastes food and damages health; it should be banned!"

"I heard she's a professional athlete."

Meredith laughed, "It seems that in the Island Nation, they are as popular as TV stars."

Outside the ward.

Where are you headed?

Meredith stopped a couple from Island Nation.

"We have some things to take care of..."

The male coach gave a perfunctory reply.

"Does Ms. Miyazaki know about her condition?"

Meredith pressed for an answer.

"She knows."

The male coach said affirmatively, and then said a few words about the island to Yumi Miyazaki.

The patient, Yumi Miyazaki, nodded to Meredith.

"See that?"

The male coach said something and then prepared to help Yumi Miyazaki leave.

"You're not talking about a medical condition."

Adam stopped them and, smiling, began to speak directly with the patient Yumi Miyazaki, in the island's language.

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, the patient, Yumi Miyazaki, uttered words that seemed to transcend the very essence of things.

"Yumi, listen to me."

The male coach, though exposed, remained calm and said in a deep voice, "This afternoon's match is crucial to your career; we must participate."

"Indeed."

Adam laughed and said in the island language, "Your esophagus has already ruptured. If you don't have surgery immediately and instead participate in this kind of competition, there is a high risk that your esophagus will be torn directly by food. Not only will your life be in danger, but it will also be very difficult to eat normally in the future, let alone participate in any professional competitions. Do you want that?"

"Ya Mie Die!"

The patient, Yumi Miyazaki, cried out.

"..."

Adam's lips twitched.

Meredith, who didn't understand the island's language, also looked over with a strange gaze.

Many doctors and nurses in the corridor did the same thing as her.

Although none of them understood the island language.

But unfortunately, this island phrase is just too famous.

A woman from Island Nation shouted these words at the famous Dr. Duncan in public...

Emmm.

Countless images from action-packed art films flashed through their minds.

In a short time.

The male medical staff member looked around awkwardly and coughed.

The female medical staff's faces were slightly flushed.

Nothing more.

The Island Nation's specialties are truly amazing.

"So, Ms. Miyazaki is going to give up the competition and have surgery?"

Adam could only forcefully suppress the "mmp" in his heart and maintain a professional smile.

"Yes."

The patient, Yumi Miyazaki, nodded.

"Sir Coach, you heard me."

Adam looked at the male coach, whose face was grim, and said in English, "Ms. Miyazaki has chosen to have surgery."

"I understand, I will contact the competition organizers."

The male coach and Yumi Miyazaki looked at each other for a moment, sighed, and turned to leave.

People tend to have a sense of wishful thinking.

Although the male coach and Yumi Miyazaki usually share the same interests.

But at this moment.

Compared to Yumi Miyazaki, who had no way out and whose life would likely be ruined if she participated in the competition.

Male coaches face much less risk.

Even if he loses a star player, he can simply bow and apologize afterwards, and then turn around and train the next one.

Your perspective is determined by your position.
