Who Would Be the Lead Surgeon?

Medical Center.

Adam took Chairman of the Board Larry for an examination.

The attending physicians dispersed as well.

It was not that they had given up the chance to help the Chairman of the Board secure that all-important deciding vote. Rather, they did not know much about Candiru removal surgery either and had to hurry back to study up and prepare.

Chief of Surgery Richard was no exception.

They did not have Adam's Photographic Memory, nor did they have the energy to pore through countless medical texts and memorize all those obscure cases they would almost never encounter.

They could only cram at the last minute.

"Carter, take this lady to Dr. Montgomery for a physical."

After the attending physicians had left, Adam first glanced at the Chairman of the Board's female secretary, then looked at him. "Larry, should we notify Nancy to come in for a physical too?"

"...No."

Chairman of the Board Larry froze at first, then understood what Adam meant. Turning his head slightly, he said awkwardly, "She didn't go along. I haven't had the chance to see her since I got back."

Emmm.

So it seemed the female secretary had indeed gone with him. That had been part of the thrill.

Meanwhile, his legitimate wife had not even gotten the chance to collect her marital dues.

In a way, that was a blessing amid misfortune.

After all, no one knew whether the female secretary who had gone along had caught the same condition and been parasitized by a Candiru as well.

After all, the female secretary was even more vulnerable to attack than Chairman of the Board Larry...
