Love in the Mirror
Medical Center.
Self-service restaurant.
"Adam, what you're doing is wrong."
George couldn't accept this at all, and said in a conflicted tone, "This is completely disrupting the hospital's order and infringing on other people's freedom... What's wrong with me?"
As he spoke, he noticed Adam looking at him strangely and hesitated.
"You know nothing about freedom."
Adam chuckled to himself.
"What's the meaning?"
George was puzzled.
Where is this place?
Adam looked around at everyone. "This is Medical Center, a private enterprise. All the rights and freedoms here belong solely to the hospital's board of directors!"
Once the hospital board agrees, it won't matter if it's just a party that has a slight impact on patients, or even if the President comes for medical treatment and wants to say a few words about it!
Furthermore, just expel them!
This is true freedom!
"Nonsense!"
Meredith scoffed, "How could that be!"
"That is."
George chimed in, "Is there no law anymore? Is there no justice?"
"You're not serious, are you?"
Cristina, who was watching the show, glanced at Adam, who was smiling but saying nothing, and was also dumbfounded.
"It seems you really don't understand."
Adam shook his head and chuckled, "If you have the chance, go and look at United States law. Freedom of speech and other personal rights apply to public places, such as unclaimed squares. But if a place is owned, all rights in that place belong solely to the owner of that place and are sacred and inviolable!"
"Is that really true?"
Cristina exclaimed in shock, "Doesn't that mean that if someone has enough money to buy the entire United States, he can do whatever he wants?"
"Theoretically speaking, that's correct."
Adam nodded, and couldn't help but hum. "In my territory, you have to listen to me, reap the harvest of freedom, find pleasure in power, and start carving out my own unique character..."
"Money really can buy you anything."
Cristina murmured.
"This is fake!"
George shook his head and said, "Adam, you're talking nonsense, I don't believe you!"
Believe it or not.
Adam shrugged and changed the subject, "Cristina, how was the angiography for that patient with the lump in his heart this morning? Was it a tumor?"
"It's Coronary Artery Aneurysm."
Cristina was much more rational George. Although she was shocked by the new understanding of the Mitchell-Mitchell Freedom, she quickly adjusted her mindset and suppressed the negative emotions caused by the upheaval of her values.
"Coronary Artery Aneurysm?"
Adam exclaimed in surprise, "You're lucky!"
"That's right."
Cristina laughed, then said with displeasure, "But the patient hasn't decided whether he can do it or not. They're getting married soon. According to the patient's fiancée, they're not young anymore, and they've invested too much in this wedding, so they're thinking of getting married first and then considering the surgery."
"But Coronary Artery Aneurysm are at risk of rupturing at any time."
Adam said, "That is to say, a joyous occasion could turn into a tragedy at any time."
"I told them the same thing."
Cristina sighed, "Now I can only hope they come to their senses, otherwise I might not be able to perform this surgery."
"I once saw a patient's fiancée staring blankly at their wedding dress, band, and venue rental receipts in the lounge."
George interjected, "She said she regretted not listening to her mother, that she shouldn't have kept these receipts but should have thrown them all away, otherwise it would bring bad luck. She was just doing it as a precaution, but she didn't expect it to actually come true."
"This is all survivor bias."
Adam shook his head.
"Sigh, they were a happy engaged couple, but who knows what the future holds."
Meredith sighed.
"What did Dr. Burke say?"
Adam looked at Cristina: "Is the surgery difficult?"
"Well enough."
Cristina dismissed it, saying, "Burke is the best. Letting him perform the surgery is already the least risky option."
Everyone had finished eating, chatted for a bit, and then got up and walked towards the ward.
Everyone has their own things to do.
As everyone walked down the corridor, Cristina was the first to reach the ward. After greeting everyone, she prepared to go in and see how their decision was going, just as she bumped into the patient's fiancée coming out.
"Could you tell Dr. Burke that Cave is planning to have surgery?"
The patient's fiancée said to Cristina.
"Of course, that's great, you've figured it out."
Cristina said happily.
Where are you going?
Adam, however, noticed her handbag and her strange expression, and guessed what was going on.
"Well..."
The patient's fiancée stammered, "I... I can't face it. I'm not strong enough."
"Amy, I know this is difficult, but your fiancé is about to have surgery."
Upon seeing this, Meredith immediately stepped forward and advised, "When he wakes up, the person he most wants to see is you. You should stay here."
"No."
The patient's fiancée Amy, froze. "He won't see me. He's no longer my fiancé."
"You're leaving him?"
George said incredulously.
"I'm not strong enough..."
The patient's ex-fiancée Amy, brought up the same reason again.
"And what about the wedding vow of 'in sickness and in health'?"
Cristina couldn't help but ask, "Are you planning to go against my wishes?"
"Please understand, I also hate that I'm not strong enough."
The patient's fiancée Amy, had an expression that said, "I hate myself," but her tone was very firm. "But I know I'm not strong enough."
Adam watched this absurd yet realistic scene Jingjing.
In the morning, the engaged couple flirted and made suggestive remarks in front of everyone, seemingly inseparable. But in the blink of an eye, they turned into 'birds of a feather flock together, but when disaster strikes, they fly away separately'.
It is truly Love in the Mirror, and even more so a dream of fame and fortune.
Then he immediately noticed the situation in the ward.
Beep beep beep!
The alarm went off in the ward.
"The patient's heart has stopped beating!"
He rushed in immediately, with Cristina close behind.
"Quickly call Dr. Burke, his Coronary Artery Aneurysm may have ruptured."
Adam reminded him.
While everyone was busy saving lives, Adam caught a glimpse of Amy, the patient's ex-fiancée, outside the ward. He glanced inside, then turned and left.
When Dr. Burke arrived and went to the Operating Room with Cristina, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where's Amy? Is she really gone?"
"It's already like this, what are we going to do if we don't leave?"
"Do you think the patient was provoked by her?"
George said angrily.
"Very likely."
Adam nodded and said, "Coronary Artery Aneurysm have a higher risk of rupture when stimulated. Mr. Lubos was just diagnosed with Coronary Artery Aneurysm, and then his beloved fiancée broke up with him at this time. With such a huge shock, it's normal for the Coronary Artery Aneurysm to rupture. Fortunately, she broke up with him in the hospital, otherwise..."
"She's indirectly killing him!"
George was furious.
"It's fake, it's fake, it's all fake..."
Meredith murmured.
That morning, she was so stunned by the sight of the engaged couple openly driving that she mentally replaced them with herself and Dr. Shepherd.
Who would have thought that I had just been having a wonderful daydream this morning and was in a great mood, and then this happened the next time I turned around.
This made her even more doubtful about whether love truly exists.
Certainly.
Under such stimulation, she was naturally not the treacherous Amy, but the patient who suffered repeated blows in her hospital bed, whose Coronary Artery Aneurysm was even stimulated to rupture.
