What Does It Feel Like to Have a Tree Inside Your Body?

Medical Center.

In the surgical corridor.

What happened?

George was still somewhat dazed, his expression unnatural.

Are you jealous?

Cristina exclaimed in surprise.

"I don't."

George vehemently denied it, but his expression betrayed no one.

"No way, you're jealous of her so quickly?"

Cristina was amazed, then glanced at Meredith.

"Isn't this better?"

Adam laughed and said, "Dr. Torres is a good person, it's normal for George to like her."

After exchanging a few words and jokes, everyone dispersed.

"OMG!"

Sheldon's mother, Mary, also noticed the commotion and came over to take a look. She exclaimed "God!" with a look of disgust.

She doesn't like such an open style.

"Adam, are you doctors always this casual?"

Mary frowned.

"This is an exception."

Adam quickly explained, "Can't you see how angry Dr. Bailey is? This is a hospital, a place to treat and save lives. Of course, it wouldn't be like this under normal circumstances."

"That's alright."

Mary pulled her niece Emilia, whose face was slightly flushed, and admonished her, "Girls should respect themselves, and never follow this example..."

Adam quickly made his escape.

Emergency room.

"Dr. Duncan, we just received a call from the emergency center. An ambulance will be here soon. The patient's condition is very serious."

The nurse stepped forward and reminded her.

"Okay, I understand."

Adam nodded, reached out his hand so the nurse could help him put on his surgical gown, and then walked outside the hospital to wait for the ambulance.

Outside the hospital building.

An ambulance arrived with its siren blaring.

"Jill, what's going on?"

Adam immediately went to meet him.

He remembered the names of so many people in the hospital, so naturally he wouldn't forget the names of the emergency personnel who frequently went to the hospital.

"Harry Hernand, 14, was playing on Lying Sled when he lost control and crashed into a vehicle. Witnesses said he was thrown into the air at least 20 feet before falling into a pile of branches. His pelvis was visibly fractured, and I suspect he had severe internal bleeding."

Later on, paramedic Jill looked like she didn't know what to say.

Adam already had a serious expression on his face.

Joke.

At least 20 feet high, that's more than six meters, two stories high. If you don't jump down, you lose your balance and fall, which could easily result in serious injury.

Not to mention, the ground wasn't a lawn, but rather covered in vines and creepers.

However, even though he was serious enough, Adam still gasped when the other emergency responders carefully pushed the patient out of the ambulance.

"Holy shit!"

Adam thought to himself, "What do you mean?"

But on the cot, a boy was lying on it, with a patch of green behind his head.

Under normal circumstances, Adam would have thought to himself that he was being cuckolded.

But now, he couldn't bear to say those words.

Because the lush green thing behind the boy's head was indeed a tree, and a 10-centimeter-thick branch was protruding directly from the boy's right waist.

That's right!

When the boy was knocked away and fell, he was pierced directly by a tree branch.

This is much scarier than that thin steel pipe that pierced through two people back then.

"Harry, you're at the hospital. We'll take care of you."

Adam rushed forward, helping to move the boy while talking to him, who was still conscious but already delirious.

"The hospital? What happened to me?"

Although the boy was somewhat confused, the pain all over his body still made him cry out in fear.

"You're an idiot, that's it!"

Just then, a car drove up, and a bald, middle-aged man hurriedly got out, cursing at the boy in a fit of anger and frustration.

"Dad."

The boy called out guiltily.

"Sir, step back!"

Adam frowned.

The nurses immediately stepped forward to block the boy's furious father and escorted Adam others as they pushed the gurney into the hospital.

"You and your friends are idiots! You didn't make good use of the sanity God gave you, and did something so incredibly stupid!"

The boy's father angrily pushed the nurse away, pointed at the boy and cursed him. He tried to step forward repeatedly, but the nurses blocked him each time.

Adam was immediately taken to the Operating Room for this injury. Dr. Burke and Chief of Surgery Richard, who had received the news, rushed over and quickly performed the surgery.

"His kidneys failed and couldn't be saved."

"First, try to control the renal artery!"

"I've found another bleeding point, Dr. Duncan!"

"Okay, leave it to me."

"Everyone, this surgery will take a long time. Is there enough blood available?"

Richard, the Chief of Surgery, presided over the entire operation.

"Yes, Director."

The nurse replied.

A few hours later.

"The mounting bracket is locked."

"No major bleeding, track clearing complete."

Did his parents come to say goodbye?

"My mother hasn't arrived yet, and my father is distraught and unwilling to come in to say goodbye."

After receiving the report from Adam and the others.

Chief of Surgery Richard took a deep breath. "Okay, everyone, get ready to remove the branch. Everyone to your positions, carefully cut it open, and take it out in small pieces."

No one can be sure about the outcome of this injury.

It is highly likely that the boy will die soon after the branch is pulled out.

Therefore, it is best to say goodbye to your family before undergoing surgery, in case you don't have the chance to say goodbye later.

However, the boy's father was too angry about his son's reckless behavior, or perhaps he was afraid to face the scene of losing his son, so he did not hold this farewell ceremony.

However, the opportunity had already passed, and the boy's father was unwilling to accept it. Adam and his team did not wait and went straight to perform the most dangerous surgery to remove the branch.

The surgery continued into the evening.

With everyone's concerted efforts, the boy miraculously survived after losing a kidney and a large section of his intestines.

It made everyone marvel at the miracle of life.

We are all human beings, and we all only have one life.

Some people can die in the Operating Room even from a minor surgery.

But some people, despite being so badly injured, still manage to survive without serious injury.

The miracles and luck involved here inevitably raise questions about whether a certain important figure truly exists.

"Thank God!"

Adam accompanied Dr. Burke to see the boy's father. The boy's father immediately offered a prayer, then slumped into his seat, looking utterly dejected once again.

"Mr. Hernandez, your son is alright."

Dr. Burke offered a puzzled reminder.

"I know."

The boy's father said with a wry smile, "It's all my fault! I knew that thing was dangerous, but I didn't have the heart to stop him. There's a slide on the mountain with him and his friend. I was just imagining him sliding down the mountain. I should have stopped him!"

"Children sometimes lose control."

Dr. Burke advised, "They're out of control, and you can't control them either..."

"No! I can control it!"

The boy's father interrupted, "I should also control them! Before their minds mature, as a parent, I have a responsibility to ensure their healthy growth, and at the very least, to prevent them from doing something reckless!"

At this point, he said painfully, "Since the divorce, I can only see him once every two weeks on weekends. I should never have bought him that Lying Sled."

Even if he keeps pestering me, I shouldn't have bought it!

I was weak!

I was weak when he needed a father!

That's wrong!

Looking at his father like this, Adam felt quite moved, unlike the noncommittal Dr. Burke.

He agreed with what the boy's father said.

Before children mature, preventing them from doing reckless things is the most basic responsibility of parents.

However, due to divorce and the breakdown of the family, the parents are unable to raise the child as a whole, yet they try their best to please the child they haven't seen in a long time on visitation days.

This excessive pampering and overly restrictive approach will inevitably lead to some problems.

It's just a matter of the size of the problem.
