Three-Seven Death Line
Medical Center.
The ward.
"Dr. Duncan, you..."
Danny was speechless after Adam's words, and could only manage a wry smile.
However, he knew that Adam was right.
Before he got sick, he was a very strong man who did many things that broke the rules.
These outrageous things were all fond memories he had after falling ill.
After a year and a half of torment, he was on the verge of collapse.
He originally thought that only he understood the pain of a strong man being trapped, but he didn't expect that this young and handsome Dr. Duncan seemed to understand it even better than he did.
This situation was anticipated for him.
What else could he say?
Flirting with beautiful female doctors is just his nature.
Survival is his greatest instinct!
For some reason, he suddenly felt a renewed hope that he would one day receive his new heart.
Adam's vision of a peaceful end to the agonizing wait and a future filled with double happiness is indeed too beautiful.
"As your attending physician, I'm just sharing my thoughts."
Adam smiled and said, "The specific choice is up to you."
"I agree with Dr. Duncan."
Dr. Burke gave Adam, the intern who had 'overshadowed his Attending Physician, ' a deep look and nodded, saying, "Only by surviving can we talk about anything else, Danny. As long as you are strong enough, you can have a future."
Thank you.
Danny sincerely thanked him, saying, "I'm willing to have this surgery, but I have one condition."
"Should we still see Dr. Stevenson?"
Dr. Burke glanced at Adam.
Adam shrugged, indicating that he had said everything he needed to say and didn't care what Danny decided.
"No."
Danny shook his head and laughed, "Dr. Duncan is right. I'm not suited for a relationship right now. After all, without a heart, how can there be love?"
I am willing to wait, and in the future, I will be the best version of myself to meet the best Liz.
Now, though.
I just don't want to have surgery today.
"You've heard that legend too?"
Adam and Dr. Burke were taken aback for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening.
There's a legend in the United States hospitals depicted in American TV Show World.
Every day, the number of patients who die on the operating table in the hospital is either less than three, or three or seven.
This means that if more than three patients die on the operating table in the hospital on a given day, the number will not stop at four, five, or six, but will definitely soar to seven.
The Medical Center has only been open for a short time, and already four patients have died on the operating table.
"I believe in science."
Danny laughed and said, "But I also believe in God!"
"This was said by the morgue staff."
Adam explained, "It's just that the probability is higher, not that it's certain."
"I know."
Danny smiled wryly and said, "But don't forget, I've never been very lucky. When bad luck meets bad timing, do you think I would dare to go on the operating table today?"
"I'm sorry, Danny."
Dr. Burke shook his head and said, "Your body cannot afford to delay that long; the surgery must be performed today."
Danny looked at Adam.
Adam nodded.
"Sigh, okay."
Danny could only agree in the end, "If God really wants to see me, I can't resist the Lord's call. And if God doesn't want to see me, then when I wake up again, I will live well, just like Dr. Duncan said."
"Okay, keep this optimistic attitude, you can't lose out no matter what."
Adam laughed.
"Dr. Duncan, please help Danny get ready. We're about to go into the Operating Room."
Dr. Burke also smiled.
These death numbers, which are either 3 or 7, are somewhat superstitious.
However, many knowledgeable doctors, even top-tier doctors, actually believe in this kind of thing.
For example, Dr. Burke only ever wore the few surgical caps that he was most comfortable with.
Of course, the patient's mindset before entering the Operating Room is also very important.
If a patient lacks the motivation or confidence to live, then that patient's mortality rate will be much higher.
On the contrary, the success rate of the surgery will be much higher.
This involves the influence of mental state on physical condition, which is actually quite mystical.
Dr. Burke was naturally pleased to see that Danny was optimistic.
Preparations are proceeding smoothly.
The nurses' station in front of the operating table.
"Adam, this is for you."
Dr. Montgomery handed Adam a cup of hot cocoa. "It's our tradition. Four surgeries today, four patients died. I heard you're going into the Operating Room soon too. I think we all need a little something to protect us."
"Is hot cocoa a talisman?"
Adam was surprised.
"Hi hi hi!"
Dr. Montgomery waved his hand, reminding everyone, "Don't question Coco!"
"OK".
Although Adam didn't believe in this stuff, seeing that Dr. Montgomery was speaking earnestly and with good intentions, he naturally wouldn't be impolite to refuse. He raised the hot cocoa in his hand and smiled, "Thank you!"
"Go."
Dr. Montgomery laughed.
Ever since Adam treated her Poison Ivy Rash, she has become much more affectionate towards Adam.
She won't be like her husband, Dr. Shepherd, who only talks about Adam when things are going well, but not Duncan when things are going well.
Meredith!
Adam had only taken a few steps when he heard Dr. Montgomery's voice behind him, and it was his rival calling out to him.
So he couldn't help but turn around and look.
Then Dr. Montgomery handed a cup of hot cocoa to his rival, Meredith.
Meredith will definitely be going into the Operating Room soon.
Is this a way of giving a talisman to one's love rival?
"Niki, here you go!"
Adam then handed the hot cocoa to the nurse.
He is now very careful about the food others give him, and avoids eating it if possible.
And I just saw Dr. Montgomery give the same hot cocoa to his rival.
Emmm.
Adam was even less likely to drink it.
"Thank you, Dr. Duncan."
Nurse Niki accepted the hot drink amidst the envious glances of her colleagues and happily thanked them.
"Adam!"
A tall figure ran over.
Adam turned and walked away. As he passed the corner, he saw Meredith throw the hot cocoa into the trash can and couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"Meredith, stop Adam for me!"
A tall figure followed closely behind, calling out loudly.
What did you do to Liz again?
Meredith reached out to stop Adam, saying helplessly.
"Isn't that the wrong question?"
Adam retorted, "She's always the one causing trouble. Have you ever seen me cause her trouble?"
"Let's hear what she has to say first."
Meredith was speechless, but still tried to smooth things over.
Adam then stopped in his tracks, giving face to Alice Grey's daughter and guardian, who was currently his biggest cheat.
"Call!"
Liz ran all the way, a magnificent sight, and when she arrived, she leaned against the wall, panting heavily, which Adam found quite interesting.
"What are you doing?"
Liz gasped for breath and then cried out.
"I didn't do anything."
Adam shrugged.
"Are you going to perform surgery on Danny today?"
Liz exclaimed in shock and anger, "Don't you know about the Death Number Legend?"
"I know."
Adam said speechlessly, "But I know even more that if Danny doesn't do it today, there's no point in gambling on luck; he'll definitely be in the morgue today."
"Has the condition become that serious?"
Liz's expression changed drastically.
She was isolated by Adam's prohibition, and later, because of her 'obsession' with Adam, she was collectively targeted by the nurses who couldn't stand it, and they would call her all the time, making it impossible for her to stop for a moment.
I was just busy with something when I passed by the operating board and saw Danny's surgery schedule written on it, and that's how I found out about this.
