Conjoined Twins

The next day.

Medical Center.

Changing room.

"Adam, ask me a few questions!"

Cristina called out as soon as Adam entered.

"And me too."

Meredith and George echoed this sentiment.

What are the symptoms of central duct infection?

Adam smiled and asked a question casually while changing his clothes.

With only two weeks left until the end of their internships and the residency exams, all the interns are preparing for the exams and are asking each other questions whenever they have a spare moment.

Of course, when it came to Adam, he was only responsible for asking questions and providing the correct answers.

"Suppuration, erythema, and high fever!"

Cristina was the first to raise her hand and call out.

What is Conn syndrome?

Adam then asked another question casually.

"Wait, I know!"

Meredith raised her hand, and before she could even form a response, someone else had already answered.

"Corticosteroid hyperaldosteronism!"

Cristina answered immediately, and after answering, she exclaimed, "Adam, give us something more challenging!"

"The residency exam is designed to assess the skills of interns, but it is not designed to be particularly difficult."

Adam shook his head and smiled, "And for you, what you need to prepare most is precisely the most basic stuff."

"Are you saying my foundation is weak?"

Cristina said with dissatisfaction.

"Is your foundation very solid?"

Adam gave a reserved smile, "So what are we doing now?"

"..."

Cristina suddenly didn't want to say anything.

Compared to Adam, let alone her, no one's foundation is solid.

If she were as confident as Adam, she wouldn't still be reviewing and asking questions.

It's just that this exam is too important, and she's not 100% confident.

"George, did you do what I asked you to do?"

Cristina changed the subject.

Meredith immediately looked over with a smile.

"Shut up, Cristina!"

George was immediately embarrassed and annoyed.

"What's wrong?"

Cristina asked in surprise, "Isn't it just asking you to ask Kelly for the study card? Isn't she your girlfriend now? What's so difficult about that?"

George's current girlfriend, Kelly, an orthopedic resident, got the highest score on her residency exam, and the hospital is rumored to have a legendary study card.

Just in case, Cristina encouraged George to ask for it so that everyone could enjoy it together.

Of course, the wording is a bit problematic.

That's practically making George act as Tool Person to please Kelly.

The events are the same, but the nature of the situation is completely different.

No matter how much of a male best friend George was, he still had some male pride.

"I'm not that kind of person!"

George retorted angrily, "And even if I get it, I won't show it to you!"

"Etc!"

Cristina looked at George and said with displeasure, "You want to take it all for yourself?"

"I..."

George glanced at the smiling Meredith, then swallowed the words he was about to say, "I just won't show you."

"And what about Meredith?"

Cristina pressed for an answer.

"Of course I'll give it to Meredith."

George said immediately.

Although he is currently dating Kelly, Meredith will always be his ideal woman.

"Then it's alright."

Cristina waved her hand dismissively.

Meredith is her best friend, and she tells her everything.

It's just a small learning card, not a boyfriend. Meredith having it is the same as saying she has one.

Adam changed his clothes and left the changing room directly.

"Adam, ask me a few more questions!"

Cristina chased after her, urging her on.

Dr. Bailey led the group on rounds.

Standing outside the ward.

Dr. Bailey stopped and turned to look at everyone. "You have two weeks until your exams, so your most important task in these two weeks is to study as much as possible."

So even if the surgery is excellent, don't fight for it!

Don't let your guard down!

At this point, she looked at Cristina, who was tilting her head and not meeting her gaze. "Believe me, even if you've had some amazing surgery these past two weeks, it's not as bad as failing the exam and wasting at least a year of your life."

And think about it: if you fail, you'll most likely end up like those new rookies, following your former colleagues around and taking orders from them.

Of course, unless you are absolutely certain of victory.

At this point, Dr. Bailey glanced at Adam.

"We understand, Dr. Bailey."

George and Meredith both turned serious.

The thought of following in the footsteps of their former colleagues, even though their superior was Adam, made them feel somewhat uncomfortable.

What's even more terrifying is following behind Cristina, obeying Cristina orders, assignments, and comments.

Cristina is known for her professionalism and ruthlessness; if something goes wrong, she'll reprimand the student in public without hesitation.

If that kind of thing really happens, to paraphrase a classic saying: this place is unbearable to stay in, and life here is unbearable!

"Very good."

Dr. Bailey smiled meaningfully, "I hope you can keep your word. The test begins now. Remember what I said!"

As she spoke, she pushed open the door and entered the ward first.

Then.

Everyone's eyes lit up.

But there they saw a pair of identical white men, dressed in the same patient gowns, leaning against each other.

Emmm.

It really is leaning against something.

The patient's back was exposed through the back of the garment, revealing a seamless back.

"Dr. Duncan, you're in charge."

After examining the conjoined twins and exchanging a few words with them, Dr. Bailey glanced at the crowd staring at her and immediately assigned Adam as the attending physician.

"Yes, Dr. Bailey."

Adam smiled.

"Dr. Bailey!"

Cristina couldn't stand it anymore and raised her hand. "These are two patients. I think Dr. Duncan needs help. I can assist him."

"I knew I'd wasted my breath."

Dr. Bailey rolled his eyes. "Dr. Duncan, what do you say? Do you need help?"

"I'm fine with either."

Adam laughed.

"Alright then."

Dr. Bailey nodded and said, "Dr. Yang, as you wish. Anyway, this surgery needs enough doctors."

"Dr. Bailey, I..."

George and Meredith couldn't hold back any longer.

"You two come with me."

Dr. Bailey glared at them, not giving them a chance to speak, "So many patients need doctors. Can't you let me take care of each one individually?"

Don't forget who you are!

You are still interns!

George and Meredith immediately backed down.

They lack Adam's strength and Cristina's rebellious spirit.

However, despite Dr. Bailey's words, he didn't actually assign them that many beds. Instead, he gave each of them a very easy ward management task, allowing them to focus their energy on their studies.

She quietly took on all the other bed management work herself.

Adam and Cristina, who remained in the ward, exchanged a glance, both revealing eager expressions.

This is a rare surgery to separate adult conjoined twins.
