Adam Is Petty

Medical Center.

Adam's sketch immediately captivated the patient's family.

They looked at the sketch again and again, and finally nodded in agreement.

This is not surprising.

Just like when you're decorating a house, a decoration company that can produce renderings is far more popular than one that only talks the talk.

Nothing more.

Ordinary people don't have that kind of imagination. No matter how much you say, it will be very vague and lack practical concept.

Once the 3D renderings are released, anyone can immediately understand what their home renovation will look like.

It is the unknown that causes worry.

People tend to readily accept things they can understand.

The patient's mother said her son was already handsome enough, but she wished he could become even more handsome, just like in the sketch.

"You can also sketch?"

Cristina asked in a low voice.

"I just learned it."

Adam laughed and said, "We're doctors, we can even handle a scalpel, what's so difficult about sketching? As long as the opponent has enough control, we can just 'print' the image in our minds with our hands."

Cristina was speechless and could only give her a "you're awesome" look.

"Okay, let's get started."

Mark Sloan's eyes flickered, and he clapped his hands, saying, "Dr. Stevenson, come with me into the Operating Room."

"I?"

Liz was astonished.

"Don't you want to?"

Mark Sloan smiled.

"Willing."

Liz glanced at Adam, who was smiling calmly, and nodded, somewhat bewildered.

"Alright, let's get ready."

After Mark Sloan finished speaking, he left.

Adam and the other two then left the ward.

Aren't you angry?

Cristina looked at Adam, who remained calm, in surprise. "You were the one who turned the tide, persuading the patient's parents with just a sketch. According to the agreement, you should have gone into the Operating Room with them."

"What's there to be angry about?"

Adam laughed and said, "Didn't you say before that this was the Attending Physician's decision? Do you expect me to argue with the surgeon in front of the patient and their family?"

"But..."

Cristina still couldn't quite accept it. "You're being too calm, aren't you?"

"Adam, I didn't want to either."

Liz apologized.

"It has nothing to do with you."

Adam laughed and said, "This is a very normal thing. Don't overthink it. I will just take it as Dr. Sloan's praise for me."

With that, he nodded to the two of them and left.

"Appreciation?"

Liz was even more confused.

Cristina seemed thoughtful, then called out to Adam's retreating figure, "Really? You wouldn't be that arrogant, would you?"

"What arrogance? What does this have to do with arrogance?"

Liz asked, puzzled.

"Adam felt that his performance was putting a lot of pressure on Dr. Sloan, which is why Dr. Sloan didn't want to take him into the Operating Room."

Cristina succinctly pinpointed the key point.

"Is he joking?"

Liz asked incredulously, "Adam could put pressure on Dr. Sloan? To this extent?"

"What's impossible?"

Cristina analyzed. "The most important elements to becoming a top plastic surgeon are: knowledge of human anatomy and plastic surgery, memory and spatial imagination, good aesthetic sense and the ability to create beauty, and a pair of precise and controllable hands."

And enough practical experience.

Aside from practical experience, Adam just demonstrated everything else through a sketch.

Didn't you see the shocked look on Dr. Sloan when he saw the sketch?

Adam, a layman in plastic surgery and a novice in clinical medicine, drew the final plastic surgery result diagram based on his years of experience after just encountering a case.

With what Adam calls "the basic essentials of a plastic surgeon who can do a decent job and a little math," it can be done flawlessly!

Do you know what this means?

"This means Adam's talent is even greater than his..."

Liz murmured.

"It's still high."

Cristina cautioned, "It's much higher, and more importantly, plastic surgeons are different from those in life-saving departments like Cardiothoracic Surgery and Neurosurgery."

The siphon effect and the winner-takes-all phenomenon are even more severe.

Because truly high-value clients who can generate substantial profits will only seek out the top-tier surgeons to operate on them, regardless of which hospital the doctor works at. They won't mind spending a little more time and will simply fly there.

Dr. Sloan is now the best plastic surgeon on the East Coast.

But once Adam becomes interested in plastic surgery, with Adam amazing talent, it won't be long before he completely crushes Dr. Sloan.

Let's not even talk about the quality of plastic surgery techniques.

Adam's sketch rendering was enough to leave Dr. Sloan speechless.

Dr. Sloan's greatest advantage is his extensive practical experience, but Adam knows 'a little' math.

Although I don't know how he calculated it.

However, it seems that he can achieve a more perfect plastic surgery result directly by calculating, bypassing Dr. Sloan's many years of rich experience.

But thinking about it, it's understandable; plastic surgery is all about aesthetics.

Mathematics is the foundation of all sciences.

Aesthetics is no exception!

"Perfect body shape, golden ratio, etc., can't they all be expressed mathematically?"

"Isn't it a bit too much?"

Liz said incredulously.

Who knows?

Cristina shrugged and said, "At first I didn't think of it that way, but apart from that reason, Adam clearly played the decisive role."

Logically, he should have followed into the Operating Room, but why did Dr. Sloan not mention it at all and just let you go in with him?

You don't actually think he's interested in you, do you?

You've thrown away all your pride for me, and you're going back on your word?

"..."

Liz was speechless.

She's not that confident yet.

"So, Adam is actually best suited to be a plastic surgeon?"

"It seems so."

Cristina nodded. "But Dr. Sloan can be quite glad, because Adam most likely won't choose to become a plastic surgeon."

"Why?"

Liz blurted out, "Plastic surgeons make money and have it easy..."

"Does Adam need to consider whether or not he makes money?"

Cristina glanced at her. "Look at how hard he's working, do you think he cares about whether it's easy or not? After all this time, haven't you realized that what he wants most is to heal the sick and save lives?"

After a moment of surprise, Liz gave a wry smile.

"Besides, he is indeed exceptionally talented in plastic surgery."

Cristina sighed, "But doesn't he have talent in other medical fields? You haven't forgotten that he's now doing the work of a senior resident as an intern. While we were trying to learn from the resident and Attending Physician, he was already performing surgeries almost every day, right?"

"Shit!"

Liz smirked. "I had completely forgotten about it! It's just being an assistant in the Operating Room with a famous doctor. We might be interested, but he might not."

Damn it!

I even apologized to him!

He really doesn't care!

"That's not entirely true."

Cristina whispered a reminder: "You're right to apologize. Maybe he doesn't care, but you know Adam, he's petty. If you don't apologize, he might make things difficult for you one day. Don't forget about Joe."

"..."

Liz was speechless, but nodded in deep agreement.
