Now That's Professional!

Medical Center.

ICU Ward.

"I disagree!"

Adam decisively expressed his opinion.

"You disagree?"

Dr. Burke was taken aback for a moment, then his expression turned somewhat displeased.

"Yes."

Adam said seriously, "I can be the attending physician or I can not, it doesn't matter, but I will never be Mr. Duggett's attending physician along with Dr. Stevenson."

Furthermore, I also advise Dr. Burke that you should not agree to Dr. Stevenson becoming Mr. Duggett's attending physician.

Mr. Duggett is the patient, and we are the doctors!

This is Medical Center, a renowned and reputable Teaching Hospital, not some playground for playing cosplay between a charming doctor and a handsome patient!

Mr. Duggett, this isn't directed at you personally, but please respect our status as doctors. After you're discharged, you can schedule an appointment with Dr. Stevenson however you like.

But please don't do that here!

Is it that serious?

Danny Dugert smiled wryly.

"Dr. Duncan is right."

Dr. Burke's expression also turned serious. "Hospital regulations state that doctors are not allowed to have romantic relationships with patients. Danny, if I make Dr. Stevenson your attending physician, can you do that?"

What will happen if I break the rules?

Danny gave a wry smile.

"Dr. Stevenson will be dismissed immediately for violating hospital regulations."

Dr. Burke looked at Danny and said seriously.

Originally.

If no one says anything, Dr. Burke, as an old friend, is happy to see his old friend happy and will turn a blind eye to such things.

But now that Adam has pointed it out so clearly, he can no longer ignore it.

In the United States with such an open American TV Show World, teacher-student relationships and doctor-patient relationships are still not allowed.

This is to protect the vulnerable students and patients.

Imagine if these regulations were not in place, and a teacher took a liking to a student and used academic performance or other factors to threaten or entice them, what would happen to the student whose mind is not yet fully mature?

You should know that even Penny, the school bully and big sister, was lured into participating in lesbian activities by her lesbian teacher with the promise of an A grade.

The doctor-patient relationship is similar.

Patients who come to the hospital are already at a low point in their lives, and when they see the doctor who is treating them, they tend to amplify the doctor's charm and easily develop a strong liking for them.

However, this state is neither normal nor rational.

Not to mention psychologists, who are professionals who can see through the personality flaws of their patients. Once they have an idea, they can easily use their professional knowledge to manipulate patients.

If left unchecked, the consequences will be dire.

There's a reason why many villains in American TV series and movies are psychologists.

Even ordinary doctors, like surgeons like Liz, can become very irrational and unprofessional when they develop feelings of love for a patient.

In emergency situations, she will often disregard any rules in order to ensure her lover's survival.

Emmm.

Of course, Dr. House next door also often disregards the rules and will stop at nothing to save his patients.

But that's because Dr. House has such exceptional professional skills that he can break the rules and save patients—that's how amazing he is!

Liz is just an ordinary person. Adam has observed her for a long time and found that she doesn't have the protagonist's halo. At most, she's just a decorative supporting character. Where does she get the cheat code to use?

If you really try to emulate Dr. House next door, you'll definitely end up with nothing.

She can neither save the people she wants to save, nor will she likely harm others.

This is why Adam's attitude was so firm.

"It seems that Dr. Stevenson is not suitable to be my attending physician."

Danny shook his head and smiled wryly, then looked at Adam and said gently, "Dr. Duncan, would you have the honor of continuing to be my attending physician?"

Clearly, he wasn't going to give up on his love at first sight with Liz.

If it were someone else, they would definitely be very unhappy with Adam saying that to them.

However, Adam did not see this negative emotion in him and he appeared very well-mannered.

Of course, everyone knows how hypocritical Westerners' gentlemanly manners are.

It's also possible that after calming down, he rationally considered the weight of Dr. Burke's statement that "Adam is the best intern in the entire United States and the world," and made a rational choice.

After all, he wants to live more than to fall in love.

"That depends on Dr. Burke's arrangements."

Adam remained noncommittal, but made his point clear from the start. "Besides, if I continue to take charge, you won't be able to see Dr. Stevenson in the hospital anymore. I don't want any accidents to happen; after all, people in love aren't rational."

"Danny, this is the professional attitude of the best interns."

Dr. Burke asked, "What did you say?"

"Do I have any other choice?"

Danny smiled wryly, "I just want to leave here as soon as possible, and then, as an ordinary person, walk back into this hospital and pick up the beautiful Dr. Stevenson. I think we should be able to get Dr. Duncan's blessing then?"

At this point, he gave Adam a deep look.

"Certainly."

Adam met his gaze calmly.

Just kidding, he didn't stop her because he considered Liz his possession or out of jealousy.

Although Liz is a tall, Big Bear with long legs, she isn't particularly attractive. Moreover, her personality and her relationship with her colleagues at the hospital are major drawbacks, making her completely unsuitable for Adam.

However, Adam could understand Danny's thoughts.

Even with his considerable personal charm and wealth, judging from his flirtatious manner, he was probably a seasoned Playboy who had seen it all.

But those glorious days are over. Now he has difficulty walking, let alone doing strenuous exercise.

At the lowest point in his life, he naturally, like Iron Man with a hole in his chest, no longer pursued vulgar and low-level things, but appreciated spiritual communication more.

Wood's solution is simply that he has the will but lacks the power...

Imagine this: in such a situation, how attractive would a beautiful female doctor in the hospital be, who has a strong liking for him and is the doctor who saved him?

She was probably the kind of saintess who always shone brightly in his eyes.

How could Danny not want her!

Beep beep!

The monitor alarm went off.

"Atrial Fibrillation! His heart is beating too fast; we must slow it down, or his heart will fail!"

"Let's try the Electrical Cardioversion!"

"Okay, inject five units of morphine."

Adam glanced at Dr. Burke, who nodded, and took the defibrillator from the nurse. "Danny, we're going to let the current flow through your body. Hopefully, the shock will bring your heart rate back to normal."

Will it hurt?

"Danny said weakly."

"It won't be very pleasant anyway."

Adam reminded them, "Are you ready? We're about to begin. Let go!"

Once everyone had stopped touching Danny, Adam pressed the stun button.

"No change."

The nurse reminded her.

"Raise it to 100! Let go!"

Adam gave the order and pressed the stun gun on Danny again.

"Heart rate has returned to normal."

The nurse reminded her.

"Very good."

Dr. Burke nodded.

"Dr. Duncan is indeed very capable."

Despite the pain from the electric shocks, Danny forced a smile through his tears and said, "I've been in and out of hospitals for years, and watching you being resuscitated is like watching experienced resident doctors calmly and composedly performing resuscitations. It seems I made the right choice."
