Medical Center.

ICU.

Despite Adam's insistence, Liz left in anger.

Not long after.

Meredith and the others came over.

"Adam, what's going on?"

Meredith asked, puzzled, "How did it get like this?"

What did you hear?

Adam said noncommittally.

"Get Liz out of here and don't let her near the patient."

George was furious. "Do you know how bad this is for her?"

"Do you know what she did?"

Adam countered with a question.

"What... did she do?"

George's momentum vanished instantly after Adam's rebuke.

"She developed feelings for her patient, Danny."

Adam shook his head and said, "This emotion has seriously affected her professional judgment as a doctor, which is dangerous!"

When the patient was first brought in, she suggested three different treatment options, eager to revive the patient immediately.

It does seem to reduce patient mortality, but that's just theoretical in books.

The truly prudent and appropriate solution is simply to wait patiently.

"She lost her composure and professionalism, behaving like a patient's family member who knows a little about medicine."

Cristina commented.

As a doctor, the last thing I want to encounter is patients and their families who are only half-baked and lack knowledge.

This situation is becoming increasingly frequent with the explosion of online information.

Everyone can find information about their condition online, and those who do a lot of research can even explain it in great detail, making them unable to help but question the doctor's diagnosis and treatment.

In this situation, doctors need to expend more energy dealing with the 'professional' questions from patients and their families.

Often, the information you get online is dubious or even completely wrong.

If every patient and their family did this, the workload of medical staff would increase significantly. Repeating medical common sense over and over again would annoy anyone.

Moreover, if this is done, debating skills will become a very important required course for doctors in the future.

Otherwise, if we can't convince the patient and their family, how can we proceed with the next step of treatment?

But truly good doctors don't necessarily have the eloquence and patience to accompany patients and their families to explain and debate medical common sense again and again.

Anyone who has helped children with their homework knows that being a tutor is not an easy job.

Sometimes you think something is very simple, but you have to explain it over and over again.

But the child just couldn't understand and looked completely bewildered.

At this point, if the child keeps asking a barrage of strange and nonsensical questions, it will absolutely drive the parents crazy. Parents with bad tempers might even beat the child first, regardless of whether it's raining or not.

Doctors are not the children's parents, so they cannot vent their frustration and can only suppress it. It is understandable that they are disgusted by this kind of thing.

Adam vividly remembers a time in his past life when he asked his sister a medical question. He had searched it on Baidu beforehand, hoping to consult a professional.

Unexpectedly, my sister, who is usually the most good-tempered—yes, my own sister—was very impatient this time and said, "Where did you hear that?"

After Adam answered that he searched it on Baidu, Adam's sister angrily said, "That's not how it works at all..."

Um.

Adam later learned that Adam sister had answered this question countless times at work, which made her furious...

"Right."

Adam said in a deep voice, "The key is that she does not have enough professional skills. She is just an intern. She is confused and wants to use every treatment plan she can think of on the patient. Isn't that ridiculous?"

Dr. Burke assigned the patient to me.

Now I am his attending physician, and I need to be responsible for him!

I don't want to arrive in an emergency only to find that Liz has already performed the treatments she deems necessary.

What if I make a mistake?

"It can't be that bad, can it?"

George hesitated.

"Not that bad?"

Adam sneered, "You may not know, but Liz, who used to be so kind to other patients, now says things like, 'We treat idiots every day, cure them, and send them away, whether they deserve it or not. Danny is a good man, and we can only wait.'"

"Hiss!"

"No way?"

"Impossible!"

Cristina and the other two couldn't believe it.

"These are her exact words."

Adam looked at them. "Now you know how outrageous Liz, right? I wouldn't be surprised at all if Liz did something like that. If you were in her shoes, would you let her near your patients?"

"How so?"

Meredith looked at him with a bewildered expression. "I remember, Liz was only a patient's attending physician once, right?"

"This Danny is really good at flirting."

Cristina recalled, "He seemed to have charmed Liz the moment they met; he was a very attractive man."

"He's still a patient, and he has a natural tendency to be melancholic."

Adam shook his head and said, "People like Liz are particularly susceptible to this kind of thing; it's normal for them to fall in love at first sight."

"Let's go and try to persuade her."

Meredith sighed.

"Go if you want to."

Cristina had no interest in participating.

"I think I heard the name Liz?"

At this moment, Danny, who had been unconscious, slowly woke up, a smile automatically appearing on his lips. He glanced around at everyone and said, "Huh, isn't Liz here? I thought I would see her as soon as I opened my eyes."

Meredith and the others exchanged glances, as if to say, "No wonder Liz is acting so exaggeratedly. She's so sick, yet she's still so good at flirting. I wouldn't be able to resist either..."

"I am Dr. Duncan. Adam Duncan."

Adam stepped forward and examined him. "Dr. Burke has assigned you your attending physician."

Where is Dr. Stevenson?

Danny forced a smile, "I remember the last time I came here, she was my attending physician."

"She has something to do."

Meredith couldn't help but chime in.

"I'm a sentimental person."

Danny said with difficulty, "I hope Dr. Stevenson can be my attending physician, not you, Dr. Duncan."

"It doesn't matter."

Adam nodded. "I will inform Dr. Burke. The specific arrangements will depend on Dr. Burke."

Dr. Burke arrived quickly.

Danny is not only a long-time patient of Dr. Burke, but also comes from a wealthy family, making him worthy of Dr. Burke's highest quality medical care.

"Danny."

After hearing the request, Dr. Burke advised, "Dr. Duncan is the best intern in our hospital, and I would even say he is the best intern in the entire United States and the world. Having him in charge of your condition will be very beneficial for you. Dr. Stevenson is too emotional, which is not good for either of you."

"I know."

Danny smiled weakly, "I know all that, but I don't care. I've waited so long for a suitable heart, and I don't have much hope for it anymore. I just hope Dr. Stevenson can take care of me. Dr. Burke, is that alright?"

"How about this?"

Dr. Burke exchanged a glance with him and pondered for a moment before saying, "How about I have Dr. Duncan and Dr. Stevenson both be your attending physicians?"

"I disagree!"

Before the patient could nod, Adam interrupted.
