MAX: Go or Not?

Medical Center.

"Elena ..."

Peter was overjoyed at Elena's choice.

Then.

Enraged, Jack swung his elbow at Peter's face.

Peter had no way to avoid it.

However, Adam easily blocked Jack's elbow strike and restrained them, calming them down.

He is the attending physician.

All the bosses are watching.

After a while, with Adam's persuasion, Jack finally calmed down completely, keeping a cold face and remaining silent, with an expression reminiscent of a protagonist in a story about breaking off an engagement, saying "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river."

Elena was persuaded to leave.

Her presence here could easily provoke conflict.

With Cristina left to care for him, Adam and the Chief of Surgery Richard, went to the CT scan room to look at Jack and Peter's CT scans and begin discussing the surgical plan.

"I do not agree to have the surgery."

The difficulty of the surgery lay in separating the nerves. Dr. Shepherd, who was the lead surgeon, raised objections. "Their spine is connected from LV4 down, their blood vessels are intricate, and the surgery is too risky."

"Your patient requests that you perform surgery."

The Chief of Surgery Richard, immediately glared at him with a sharp look. "Derek, why are you backing down? This isn't like you! Unless there's irrefutable evidence that the surgery can't be performed, it must be done!"

Dr. Shepherd was helpless.

Besides being extremely difficult, the surgery also required cooperation with Dr. Sloan, which was a reason he found very unsettling but couldn't bring himself to say.

Now, the Chief of Surgery Richard, is determined to do it.

That was all he could do.

This is a highly complex and extensive surgery.

The group moved to the practice room and made a model to practice.

"Once we cut this artery, all the nerves will lose sensation in less than two minutes."

Dr. Shepherd explained as he made the contact.

"I believe we have enough nerve transplants to make up for the deficiencies, and we will definitely be able to do it."

Mark Sloan stared intently at Dr. Shepherd.

It's full of the feeling that we've finally fought side by side again.

This made Dr. Shepherd even more irritable.

Damn it!

Dr. Shepherd's procedure ended in failure. "The nerves inside the human body are more fragile. If it were a matter of life and death, we would take the risk, but this is clearly not the case. It's not worth the risk."

As he spoke, he put down the surgical instruments.

"Dr. Shepherd, may I try?"

Adam asked aloud.

"..."

Dr. Shepherd paused, then glanced at Adam with a complicated expression.

"Right!"

The Chief of Surgery, Richard, was unwilling to give up, but Dr. Shepherd was the expert in Neurosurgery, and even he couldn't refute the expert's opinion. Now that Adam was willing to try, he naturally supported him.

Firstly, although Adam is only an intern, he has always been known as the Dr. Miracle, and his abilities are unanimously recognized by everyone.

Secondly, even if Adam couldn't do it, it could stimulate Dr. Shepherd's sense of honor, bringing him back to his former peak as a renowned Neurosurgery, and preventing him from retreating so inexplicably.

"You guide Adam and let Adam try."

"All right."

Dr. Shepherd lowered his eyes and agreed.

Adam walked over, smiled apologetically at Dr. Shepherd, and then asked, "Dr. Shepherd, you can just describe the entire surgical procedure. I'll write it down and then simulate it."

"..."

Everyone's lips twitched.

Even though they were all top-notch doctors, they were still incredibly envious of Adam's extraordinary talent.

Under the watchful eye of the Chief of Surgery, Richard, Dr. Shepherd could only suppress his frustration and recount his envisioned surgical procedure in its entirety.

Adam asked for some details.

Dr. Shepherd provided the answer.

Then.

Adam stood there and closed his eyes.

Emmm.

The reason for closing his eyes was not that opening them would affect Adam's simulation of the entire process in his mind.

It was simply for the sake of showing off.

Otherwise, outsiders would have no idea what happened.

A simple action of closing his eyes can let others know what Adam is doing.

It has now become a trend.

Many doctors like to close their eyes for a few seconds before surgery, and then open them with a sharp look in their eyes, as if this will bring them divine assistance.

The Chief of Surgery Richard, looked expectant.

He had obviously heard the rumor.

Adam, holding surgical instruments, began a simulated surgery.

The process was incredibly smooth and seamless.

The mistake Dr. Shepherd just now was easily and perfectly overlooked by Adam.

Fast and good!

A look of helplessness appeared on Dr. Shepherd's face.

"Perfect!"

When Adam finished the surgical simulation, the Chief of Surgery Richard, was the first to applaud and cheer.

Adam gave a reserved smile.

"Derek, with Dr. Duncan's help, everything should be fine now, right?"

"Chief of Surgery Richard smiled."

"It's gone."

What else could Dr. Shepherd say?

"Alright then..."

The Chief of Surgery Richard, wanted to announce the results.

"Director."

Adam interrupted, "Could Dr. Sloan also explain his surgical procedure? After all, he's responsible for providing enough transplanted nerves. I'd like to simulate it and be prepared."

"..."

Mark Sloan's face immediately darkened.

This is clearly meant to be his substitute who can replace him at any time.

What's even more despicable is that he simply lacked the confidence to compete with Adam and use his expertise as a renowned doctor to teach Adam a lesson.

This is so frustrating.

He strongly suspected that Adam did it on purpose.

"I think it's okay."

Chief of Surgery Richard glanced at Mark Sloan: "This is a major operation that requires the cooperation of 22 doctors. With a talent like Dr. Duncan, everyone can rehearse beforehand to do their best."

Fearing that Mark Sloan might be unwilling, he emphasized again. "Doctors, these are conjoined twins! Adult conjoined twins! Separation surgery for conjoined infants is already rare, let alone conjoined adults?"

You all understand the media's reaction, and you understand what this will mean for the Medical Center! As members of the Medical Center, you must give it your all!

Mark Sloan understood the feeling that Dr. Shepherd had when he first arrived—a feeling of reluctance yet helplessness.

The surgical practice lasted a long time.

The result was ideal.

Adam received a call from MAX on his way to the ward to make a final confirmation with the patient.

"You want to go horseback riding with me?"

Adam asked in surprise, "With Caroline?"

"Right!"

On the other end of the phone, MAX complained, "It's real horseback riding, not the kind you're imagining. Caroline has a pet horse named Chestnut, and we're going to the horse farm to see it. Do you want to come?"

"This..."

Adam hesitated. "Which day?"

When are you free?

"MAX asked."

Caroline is still working as a waitress and can leave at any time.

MAX mostly draws at home, and has a lot of free time.

Is it in a hurry?

Adam pondered for a moment and said, "I've been quite busy lately. The exam is coming up soon, and it's very important. Why don't you go with her? Is she unable to afford the venue fee for Chestnut? You can help her out."

"Really not going?"

MAX scoffed, "Are you sure?"

"Uncertain."

Upon hearing Max's tone, Adam immediately perked up. "Max, you know me, exams are too easy for me."

Come to think of it, we haven't yet lived a carefree and unrestrained life in this mortal world, galloping on horseback and sharing in its splendor.

This time, I will definitely make time to go with you.

Nobody can stop me!
