The Bad Seed

The first day of the New Year in 1999.

Sing a song with Robin.

Let's gossip with Kate.

Adam had a wonderful day.

The next day.

January 2nd.

Medical Center.

Emergency room.

"Dr. Duncan."

The nurse began calling out.

"What's going on?"

Adam quickly walked over and met the paramedics.

"Catherine Horn, 36 years old, fell down the stairs. Her blood pressure is 70/50, her pulse is 45, she may have had a brain hemorrhage, her Glasgow Coma Scale score is 6, she has a hematoma in her left lower extremity, lacerations in her right upper body and left thigh, and a contusion in her back."

"That's what the paramedics said quickly."

"Can a fall down the stairs cause such a severe injury?"

Adam sneered and pushed the patient into the examination room while examining her.

"It hurts, it hurts so much."

The patient, Catherine, murmured unconsciously.

"The patient fell into a coma and stopped breathing."

The nurse reminded her.

"7.0 Intubation with an endotracheal tube!"

"Catherine, can you hear me?"

"500 ml of normal saline!"

Adam performed first aid while calling out to others.

"Install the airbags!"

"Increase oxygen supply to dilute the carbon dioxide content!"

"Head edema, the condition is worsening, loosen clothes, abdomen is stiff, first perform irrigation."

"Get a CT scan and a chest X-ray."

"Book Operating Room."

"Call Dr. Shepherd."

Adam carried out the rescue in an orderly manner.

Have her family members arrived?

"Her two children came along."

The nurse glanced at a man and a woman looking through the glass window outside the examination room; they appeared to be siblings, both still young.

"Take them to the family waiting area."

Adam saw them too and instructed the nurse, "Then call her husband or parents."

"Yes, doctor."

A nurse responded and left.

"Contact women's and children's rights organizations."

Adam looked at the injuries all over the patient's body, glanced at the medical record, and sneered, "Three times in the past six months, falling down the steps, fracturing his arm (no abrasions), hitting a door and fracturing his eye socket, and this time falling down the stairs again. He really knows how to fall."

"Yes, doctor."

The nurse nodded in deep agreement.

They are all experienced medical staff; how could they not tell the difference between injuries from falls and injuries from being hit?

Not to mention the patient was covered in injuries.

Ninety-five percent of these are domestic violence cases.

According to regulations, Adam should report it.

And that's what Adam did too.

After the CT scan and chest X-ray came out.

As expected.

This is no longer ordinary domestic violence; this is murder.

"Surgery must be performed immediately."

Adam took the patient directly into the Operating Room.

Dr. Shepherd arrived at the Operating Room, reviewed the CT scan and chest X-ray, and approved Adam's diagnosis. After cleaning and disinfection, they performed the surgery together.

The patient suffered from cerebral hemorrhage and intrathoracic hemorrhage.

Adam was in charge of the internal chest hemorrhage, Dr. Shepherd was in charge of the brain hemorrhage.

The two of them did their best to save the patient's life.

He left the Operating Room.

"How about it?"

Adam asked the Nurse Know-It-All.

That's right.

One of today's surgical nurses is the Nurse Know-It-All.

"The women and children protection agencies have arrived."

The Nurse Know-It-All, had a strange expression. "But the result of the inquiry was somewhat unexpected."

"Not domestic violence by the husband?"

Adam looked at her in surprise.

"No."

The Nurse Know-It-All said, "It was the patient's daughter, Mandy, who did it. Her brother, David, exposed her."

"..."

Adam was taken aback, almost thinking he had misheard.

You need to know.

The patient's daughter is only ten years old; she's still a little girl.

Emmm.

However, Adam calmed down after thinking about what kind of world this was.

Nothing is impossible.

"Take me there to have a look."

Adam said something and walked over with the Nurse Know-It-All.

Before even getting close, the moment Adam saw Mandy, Adam immediately believed that she was indeed the one who did it.

Not to mention the hand injury she sustained from hitting someone.

The key point is that her eyes were filled with indifference and violence.

This is definitely a very dangerous little girl.

"Call them a psychiatrist."

Adam gave a word of advice.

"It's already been called."

The Nurse Know-It-All, said, "Come down right away."

"Well."

Adam sighed and began to worry about the girl's younger brother, David.

David exposed this incident because he watched his mother being taken into the Operating Room and heard the nurses say that she almost didn't make it.

Out of fear of losing his mother, he suppressed his fear of his sister and took the initiative to reveal it.

The truth has come out.

But his sister Mandy clearly hated him too, and her gaze towards him was filled with murderous intent.

This is not an exaggeration.

This girl named Mandy is definitely mentally unstable; she can repeatedly beat her own mother, and now she even nearly killed her.

What's even more frightening is that some people are born the Bad Seed, and counseling from psychiatrists and psychologists is completely useless.

David's familial relationship with Mandy makes it difficult for him to avoid Mandy.

Now the only hope is that Mandy will be diagnosed with severe psychosis and admitted to a mental hospital.

But this is not a guarantee.

Many mentally ill people are paranoid.

Unless she's locked up for life, she'll definitely seek revenge on David once she gets out.

What's even more frightening is that if Mandy is intelligent, even if she's locked up in a mental hospital now, she could adapt quickly, put on a positive attitude to reform, get away with it, and get out soon.

"Dr. Duncan, David said his sister Mandy hit his mother with his baseball bat."

The Nurse Know-It-All Adam best, noticed that he seemed lost in thought and couldn't help but remind him.

"Um."

Adam nodded, considering whether he should help.

After thinking about it for a while, I decided to wait and see how things went.

If things really turned out that badly, Adam secretly helped David's family leave, disappear completely, and start a new life elsewhere.

Make sure Mandy can't find them.

After all, these are lives lost.

If we can save them, we should.

It's just a small expense.

After making this decision, Adam turned and left.

Now that he has decided to save people, he needs to keep a low profile.

It's best to avoid being in front of Mandy and minimize your presence.

He wasn't afraid of her.

But I don't want to provoke her.

No need.

"Doctor, I've been waiting for 40 minutes."

A man who looked very honest walked over.

Where do you feel unwell?

Adam glanced at him, then noticed sirens blaring again at the emergency room entrance, and said, "Sir, why don't you go find a nurse first?"

There's nothing wrong with his appearance, and we've waited this long, so I guess there's nothing seriously wrong.

"Oh."

The man agreed and turned to leave.

"Etc!"

Adam, dumbfounded, called out to the other person and stopped rushing to meet the ambulance.

This person clearly also needs emergency medical attention.

Because he had an arrow stuck in the back of his forehead.

"What happened to you?"

Adam asked as he examined the items.

"My neighbor's kid was playing cowboy and Native Americans, and I was unlucky enough to get shot by the Native Americans."

The man had a very good temper and gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"Come with me quickly."

Adam pulled him into the examination room.

This man is really thick-skinned; even in this situation, he waited patiently for a full 40 minutes.

P. S.: Happy New Year everyone!
