I'm a Plastic Surgeon, Not a Stitcher!

Medical Center.

Delivery room.

Because the pregnant woman ignored the doctors' repeated advice and insisted on having a natural birth according to her own delivery plan, she is now facing a difficult labor, which has nearly cost her her life, and she has to have a cesarean section again.

However, due to lack of preparation and time constraints, there wasn't even time for general anesthesia, so local anesthesia was the only option.

Adam brought the cesarean section tray as quickly as possible.

"She started having seizures!"

"4 milligrams of tranquilizer!"

"Alright, I'm going to start!"

Dr. Montgomery took the scalpel and, despite the unfavorable surgical environment, the potential for infection of the pregnant woman, and the risk of serious complications afterward, directly cut open the pregnant woman's abdomen.

A 5-minute countdown hung over everyone's heads.

Adam and the others did not want the baby in the pregnant woman's womb to miss its first breath of life because of its mother's stubbornness.

"Prepare to take out the baby! He's huge!"

Dr. Montgomery is indeed a top Neonatology; he delivered the baby safely and quickly.

The baby's size is abnormal.

"Umbilical cord clamp!"

Dr. Montgomery held the baby and tried to breathe him through a miniature air bag, but there was no response.

Even after the umbilical cord, which breathes with the Matrix, is clamped, the situation remains the same.

"He's not breathing! Adam, Mother is in your hands now."

Dr. Montgomery's expression changed, and he cut the umbilical cord with scissors, shouting at Adam.

"Good."

Adam nodded and calmly began to oversee the pregnant woman's subsequent surgery.

Dr. Montgomery, being more familiar with Neonatology resuscitation, carried the unbreathing infant to the side to provide emergency care.

"Shall I do it?"

Mark Sloan was about to step forward and take over Adam's job.

As a top-notch attending physician, he felt it was his duty to step up and take this opportunity to show affection to his lover and soothe the discomfort of his unexpected Medical Center.

"Need not."

Upon hearing this, Dr. Montgomery, while administering first aid to the infant, exclaimed, "Adam, take charge! He's more experienced with this kind of surgery! We'll talk about it when we're doing the final stitches!"

"..."

Mark Sloan's face immediately darkened.

He is a top-tier Plastic Surgery Department, earning twice as much as Neurosurgery, truly at the very top of the doctors' income chain, yet he is being looked down upon.

In a comparison with an intern, he was completely rejected by his lover, who was also a top-tier doctor.

So he's just a stitched-on body?!

He hasn't felt the unfriendly attitude of the medical hierarchy towards plastic surgeons for a long time.

In that instant, he suddenly understood how his former best friend, Derek Shepherd, felt when he saw him hanging out with Addison.

He used to not care.

Because he always betrays others, and he doesn't care about ethics or morality.

We're all good friends, so let's keep the good stuff in the family and find some excitement.

A little fuss, then they make up, isn't that great!

But now, in his proudest and most accomplished professional field, he has been stung by his lover, who is equally outstanding in other fields, and he feels a deep sting and anger.

Is this what green tastes like?

Mark Sloan stood there, stunned.

However, neither Adam nor Dr. Montgomery had time to pay attention to him.

Dr. Montgomery is performing emergency resuscitation on an infant who is not breathing.

Adam, however, faces new challenges.

After all that ordeal, the pregnant woman began to experience severe arterial bleeding.

Mark's eyes flashed when he saw this.

He wanted to see if Adam, this intern, was any good.

Even he would be flustered in such a life-or-death situation.

After all, everyone has their own expertise, and he wasn't good at saving people.

To his disappointment, Adam remained calm and composed, directing the nurses to assist him. The patient's condition was quickly stabilized, and after a brief greeting to Dr. Montgomery, he was wheeled directly into the Operating Room.

This type of surgery can no longer be performed in the delivery room.

Dr. Montgomery also saved the baby's life, placing the infant in an incubator and then directly transferring the baby to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit for observation and monitoring.

"You succeeded."

Mark stepped forward to offer his congratulations.

"Stay away from me!"

Dr. Montgomery gave a cold shout, walked over to the pregnant woman's husband who was already panicked and at a loss, explained the situation to him, comforted him repeatedly, and then rushed towards the Operating Room.

Her patient is not completely out of danger yet.

The thought that Mark's unannounced job at the Medical Center had caused her to lose focus, her usual confidence and decisiveness, and nearly resulted in the death of both her and her unborn child filled her with shame and indignation.

Adam's words of reprimand came to mind.

She is Dr. Montgomery. Addison Montgomery, Attending Physician top-tier Neonatology, and that is her greatest pride and status.

And what is she doing now?

I almost lost myself because of these melodramatic love stories!

Her lover Mark, was an utter scoundrel who claimed to love her the most, to the point that she once genuinely fell in love with him.

But then he openly cheated on his wife with other women.

This is the real reason why she came to find her husband several months later, ready to start over.

She was genuinely prepared to live a good life with him.

Compared to Mark, her husband Derek, who was initially very indifferent to her, was more worthy of being with her.

However, that's all in the past now, with her husband's affair with Meredith.

This case today greatly shocked her.

She's not unwanted, so why did she get caught up in the vortex of these two people, lose herself, and shatter her pride?

At this moment, she decided to completely distance herself from the two most important men in her life and start anew!

Operating Room.

"How is Adam?"

After Dr. Montgomery came in, he asked.

"Don't worry, things have completely stabilized."

Adam said this while performing the surgery.

Dr. Montgomery breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to assist Adam in treating the pregnant woman.

It's nearing its end.

"Should we call Dr. Sloan?"

Adam joked, "Now it's time to stitch it up."

"What do you need him for? You should do it."

Dr. Montgomery laughed and said, "I know your suturing skills are just as good as his, you don't need him at all!"

"Then I'll stitch it up."

Adam did not deny this statement and smiled as he completed the final stitching.

After leaving the Operating Room, Dr. Montgomery took Adam to tell the pregnant woman's husband the good news and bid him farewell to the husband who was extremely grateful.

"Today was really dangerous."

While waiting for the elevator, Dr. Montgomery leaned against the wall and let out a long sigh, "Thank you, Adam!"

"You're welcome."

Adam joked, "As long as you don't blame me for challenging your authority."

"What dignity do I have left? My past has already been spread far and wide."

Dr. Montgomery smiled bitterly, "Adam, you're right. I shouldn't have gotten caught up in the melodramatic love stories. I can disregard what other doctors and nurses think of me, but I cannot disregard the life and death of my patients! This lesson has been too profound! Without you, the pregnant woman and her child might already be dead."

Let this serve as a warning.

Adam sighed.

He knew the situation better than Dr. Montgomery; it was not a matter of possibility.

Without his timely rescue, the pregnant woman and the baby would have died.

The system's reward of +0.01 and +0.005 clearly indicates the result.

And why is all this happening?

The pregnant woman's stubbornness accounted for 50%, while Dr. Montgomery's mistakes due to emotional instability also accounted for 50%!

The Attending Physician must be confident and decisive, and must make patients without a medical background trust their professional judgment, rather than letting them take chances and act recklessly.

The elevator has arrived.

Adam and Dr. Montgomery went inside.

What's going on here?

Adam watched in surprise as Dr. Montgomery pressed the button for the basement level, which led to the hospital's morgue.

"I'm going there to reflect on my actions."

Dr. Montgomery laughed.

Adam smiled too.

Because he saw seriousness in her eyes and understood her thoughts.

Without Adam's timely rescue and a stroke of luck, the pregnant woman and her baby would most likely be lying in an underground morgue by now.

Although she's not lucky enough to be there now, she still wants to go there, face the corpse lying there, and think carefully about the consequences of continuing like this, and further reflect on herself.

She really wants to change.
