Medical Center.

Emergency room.

"Liz, what are you doing here?"

Adam was surprised to see Liz, dressed in surgical scrubs, waiting outside the emergency room.

"I don't know, someone called me."

Liz shrugged.

"Carol."

Adam looked at the emergency room nurse.

"Dr. Duncan, an ambulance will be here shortly."

Nurse Carol immediately explained, "The patient is a 35-year-old male with difficulty breathing and a rapid, irregular pulse. His medical record states that he suffers from acute arrhythmia and congestive heart failure. He is Dr. Burke's patient."

"OMG!"

Liz exclaimed, "It's Danny!"

"Right."

Nurse Carol nodded. "The patient's name is Danny."

"Danny, the one waiting for a heart transplant?"

Adam looked at Liz.

"Um."

Liz nodded emphatically, saying with concern, "I was the one who took care of him when he came here last time to wait for a heart transplant, but unfortunately he didn't get the heart he needed."

Are you alright?

Adam frowned.

"What?"

Liz was momentarily dazed.

"I mean I'll take over this patient."

Adam kindly reminded him, "Given your condition, you are clearly not suitable to be his attending physician."

"No!"

Liz exclaimed, "He is my patient, I can take good care of him."

"Are you sure?"

Adam gave her a deep look. "Your emotions are not the normal attitude a doctor should have towards a patient. This is not good for either you or the patient."

"I can do it!"

Liz met Adam's gaze with unwavering eyes.

"Alright."

Adam shrugged. "I'm just trying to be helpful. If you think you can do it, then do it. I don't need another heart transplant, and I don't want to get my head smashed with Spiked Bat."

"What? Spiked Bat headshot?"

Liz breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, puzzled.

"It's a joke, you wouldn't understand."

Adam smiled.

Adam knew this patient named Danny; he looked exactly like Negan, the main antagonist of the Walking Dead at its peak.

Emmm.

He's that flamboyant guy who used a baseball bat with wire to blow Glenn's head off and kill him.

Glenn, the delivery guy, is really having a tough time.

First, she was driven to the brink of collapse and ran away by her roommate Sheldon, but in the end, she still couldn't escape this ordeal.

Adam guessed that if Glenn, the delivery guy, had a choice between getting his head smashed with Spiked Bat or being driven to the brink of collapse by Sheldon, he would probably be really torn.

Let's say 4 or 6.

Choosing to be smashed in the head with Spiked Bat is option 6.

When Leonard and Sheldon watched the Walking Dead later, it's unknown whether they recognized him.

Sheldon probably doesn't care.

But Leonard should be grateful to him and regret not heeding his repeated advice.

When Leonard came to see the apartment, he happened to witness Glenn, the delivery guy, fleeing Sheldon's apartment. After learning Leonard's purpose, Glenn repeatedly advised him, "Run! Run as fast as you can, as far as you can!"

If Leonard had listened back then, he wouldn't have suffered for decades afterward.

But it's hard to say.

After all, Leonard is suspected of having a hidden M attribute.

On the surface, he appeared to be in pain, but whether he was actually feeling pleasure or joy inside, only Leonard himself knows.

Just as Adam was lost in thought, the ambulance arrived.

"It really is Danny!"

Liz quickly went to meet her. "What measures were taken at the scene?"

"He was my patient before I transferred him to you!"

The paramedics who came along were very unhappy with Liz's attitude.

"I know him."

Liz retorted without backing down, "He's on the heart transplant list, he's our surgical patient, Dr. Burke will be here soon, you'd better sell him now! What was done on-site?"

"He was given an injection of 40 units of diuretic and 6 units of adenosine."

When the emergency physician heard Dr. Burke's name, he was still displeased with Liz's attitude, but he could only answer and hand over the case.

"What's going on?"

Dr. Burke came over.

"It's Danny."

Liz said urgently.

"His heart rate is very irregular; he is experiencing heart failure."

Dr. Burke was conducting the examination.

"Bisoprol can reduce mortality rates."

Liz said urgently, "We can try blood pressure medication or digoxin. Yes, give him an injection of digoxin!"

"Wait!"

Dr. Burke waved his hand to interrupt the nurse's actions, and looked at Liz with a cold face. "Dr. Stevenson, he is my patient, I know his condition, he can hold on."

"There must be something else we can do?"

Liz took a deep breath.

"What we can do now is send him to the intensive care unit and observe whether his heart can stabilize."

Dr. Burke said.

"I will be his attending physician, and I will take good care of him."

Liz volunteered.

"No!"

Dr. Burke glanced at her and said to Adam, who was standing to the side, "Dr. Duncan, you'll be in charge of Danny."

"What?"

Liz exclaimed emotionally, "I can do it! I was his attending physician last time!"

"Dr. Stevenson!"

Dr. Burke said in a deep voice, "Are you questioning my decision?"

"No."

Despite her emotional outburst, Liz remained rational and dared not respond. She could only look at Dr. Burke pleadingly and say, "I just want to finish what I started and get to know Danny better."

"We have a doctor-patient relationship, not a romantic one."

Dr. Burke cautioned, "We should do whatever is best for the patient. What's the point of expecting things to be consistent from beginning to end? Besides, how many relationships these days last? Do you really think you're better than Dr. Duncan?"

"No..."

Liz blushed deeply.

"Any other questions?"

Dr. Burke looked at her indifferently.

"There is none left..."

Liz was very unwilling.

"Danny has been my patient for many years."

Dr. Burke looked at Adam.

"I see."

Adam smiled and said, "I'll keep a close eye on him."

"Yes, I trust you to do things."

Dr. Burke nodded.

ICU.

"Liz, is there anything else?"

Adam looked at Liz, who was busy running around, and shook his head.

"I'm fine."

Liz stared blankly at the unconscious Danny, and said without turning her head.

Dr. Bailey is currently on maternity leave.

The interns under her supervision were like wild horses, each going off to perform their own surgeries, blatantly avoiding Sheran, who was temporarily supervising them. Sheran, who was known for her gentle approach, couldn't control them at all.

"This is so unfair."

Liz murmured.

"What?"

Adam was puzzled.

"We treat idiots every day, cure them, and send them away, whether they deserve it or not."

Liz shook her head and smiled bitterly, "But Danny, he's a good man, a good man with a bad heart, and all we can do is wait, wait and wait, and we don't even know if we'll ever find a good heart that's right for him."

"Niki, keep an eye on things for me. From now on, Dr. Stevenson is not allowed to come in without my and Dr. Burke's permission."

Adam turned and gave instructions to the nurse.

"Yes, Dr. Duncan."

The nurse nodded.

"What?"

Liz stood there, stunned, staring at Adam in disbelief.

"Dr. Stevenson, you heard me."

Adam said expressionlessly, "This is a patient that Dr. Burke assigned to me. He is not your patient, and you are not a family member of the patient. You have no right to stand here. Please leave!"
