Chapter 1210 If you stab me once, I will cut you 8 knives
TBBT4A apartment.

"what?"

Howard was stunned.

"Just like geography, which is not a science, Sheldon was very interested in engineering for a while when he was in college, until he met a tenured professor of engineering."

Adam explained with a smile: "He kept tearing up Sheldon's homework and didn't point out the problem. He just kept tearing up and asked Sheldon to do it again. From then on, engineering fell into the same position as geography."

"Oh dear."

Petunia immediately looked at Sheldon with pity: "I didn't expect you to have this experience."

"I'm not like you."

Sheldon was offended by Penny's 'we're all the same' look.

"Looks the same."

Penny was very proud.

It's rare to see Sheldon, who is extremely stinky, fall like this in his homework, so happy.

"Don't make that face!"

Sheldon was annoyed.

The tenured professor of engineering has always been expressionless. He didn't see this nasty guy showing such an annoying expression until he was tossed and couldn't sleep well, and then he was locked outside the classroom late.

But when he wanted to go to the principal again to make a small report, he found that the principal asked this nasty guy to imitate his expression when he was locked outside, and then the two laughed.

"That's why you've been hating engineering and attacking me?"

Howard was suddenly receptive to some.

"Do not."

Sheldon looked at Howard: "In the beginning it was indeed because of engineering, and then it was all because of you."

"never mind!"

Howard waved his hand and said: "This matter is over, I will never be so stupid as to take your class and let you take revenge!"

"dont be sad."

Bernadette stroked Howard approvingly, and comforted him, "Whether you have a doctorate or not is my Hua Tsai."

"Really? You are so kind~"

Howard looked sideways at his girlfriend and began to sprinkle dog food.

"of course."

Bernadette smiled sweetly: "With me, I can definitely get my doctorate. It doesn't matter if you get it or not."

"..."

Howard's mouth twitched.

"Cough cough."

Bernadette suddenly coughed a few times, clutching her throat and frowning uncomfortably.

"not comfortable?"

asked Penny.

"No big deal, just a little cough."

Bernadette smiled.

"Let Adam help you take a look."

Petunia smiled and said, "Since I've been in this circle of friends, I have to endure weird things like Howard and Sheldon, but it's not without benefits. The biggest one is that you don't need to make an appointment to see a doctor, and there are very big discounts."

"really?"

Bernadette looked at Adam in surprise.

"Ah."

Adam got up, walked in front of Bernadette, and signaled Bernadette to open her mouth: "This is my friend's welfare, who made me a doctor."

"That's great."

Bernadette was overjoyed, and opened her mouth to let Adam check it, and then couldn't help complaining: "You don't know what a terrible experience it is to see a doctor."

"Trust me, I know!"

Penny, with the worst job and the least security, chimed in loudly.

"The tonsils are normal. Go back and drink more water. If it's still not good tomorrow, you can come to the hospital to find me."

Adam laughed.

"it is good."

Bernadette smiled gratefully at Adam, and then said softly to everyone: "The last time I ate fish, I got a fishbone stuck in my throat. It is simply a nightmare in my life."

"Are you sure it's a fish bone?"

Rajesh took a sip of his wine and said quietly.

"To shut up!"

Howard snatched Rajesh's glass angrily and glared at Rajesh.

"ok, ok."

Rajesh opened his hands, signaling surrender: "Just kidding, I know you are not a fishbone... you are at least a fishbone..."

Speaking of this, he laughed loudly at everyone: "I'm right?"

"It's not funny!"

Leonard looked like an old man on the subway looking at his phone.

It wasn't him, but he was deeply offended.

"come on!"

Rajesh quit: "This is obviously funny!"

"Okay, stop being smart here."

Adam looked at him coldly.

Normal people would not say such colorful words to a good friend's girlfriend, which only shows that there was a problem with Rajesh's subconscious from the very beginning.

All kinds of casual jokes, all kinds of fantasies, and all kinds of silver poems did not appear casually.

Rajesh immediately lowered his head when Adam saw him like this.

"Anyway."

Bernadette also didn't want to get angry with her boyfriend's best friend, lest her boyfriend be caught in the middle, so she pretended she didn't hear it, and continued: "I got stuck with a fishbone, I was going to do it myself, but no matter what Can't get it out.

I had no choice but to go to the school hospital, but I had to make an appointment first. Fortunately, I was very lucky that day, so I made an appointment for the next day. "

Everyone nodded in unison.

In the world of American dramas, an appointment to see a doctor is usually not a few days, or a week or two. In many cases, you may not be able to see a doctor until you recover naturally.

Bernadette saw the doctor the next day after her appointment, only because it was a useless school doctor.

Otherwise, if you don't go to the emergency room, you won't make an appointment so quickly.

"After I went there, he asked me if I could breathe and then asked me to have an X-ray."

Bernadette continued: "After the X-ray came out, it was found that the fishbone was stuck in the throat. It could have been taken out with tweezers, but the school doctor said he couldn't do it, he didn't have a laryngoscope.

He told me to go back and rest for a week. If it’s okay, I’ll be fine. If it’s serious, such as not being able to breathe, I should go to the emergency room immediately.

The final exams were a few weeks away.

I can't bet whether my condition will get worse and affect my exam.

After trying my best to get the fishbone out, I could only resist the pull of my wallet and go to the emergency room.

Then the damn thing happened.

I clearly brought the X-rays taken for free at the school hospital, which were still fresh out of the oven.

But the doctors and nurses in the emergency department of the hospital refused to admit it and insisted on taking another X-ray, because I cannot 100% guarantee the validity of this X-ray.

If they make a mistake and cause a misdiagnosis, they will be held responsible.

So they only trust the X-rays they made.

If it wasn't for the fishbone stuck in my throat, which made it uncomfortable to speak, I would have sprayed them to death!
There was no way, I could only follow their so-called procedures, was pushed onto a stretcher, and went to take X-rays.

Then he drank anesthetics and checked the laryngoscope. After all the tossing, he finally got the fishbone out.

After I finished the exam, the bill came.

When I saw it, my blood pressure almost exploded, a full $8.

I really feel like I was chopped off 8 knives at once!

Fortunately, I am still a Ph.D. student, and I bought the school’s insurance. I only need to pay $1000 at my own expense, which is the service fee for half a month of my part-time job.

Otherwise, if you didn't buy insurance, the $8 bill...you probably wouldn't be able to see me.

Because I must have quit my part-time job as a waiter at a cheesecake shop and went straight to the sea to make money and pay off my debts. "

"You may not see us, but you will definitely see Howard or Adam..."

Rajesh couldn't help shaking his wit again.

"To shut up!"

Howard yelled at Rajesh.

He didn't dare to confess all of his past to Bernadette.

"Who said no!"

Penny felt the strongest, and echoed, "If I wasn't in good health, I would have forcibly survived the illness many times.

Otherwise, I will either go to sea to work part-time like you, or I will go to the San Fernando Valley to make a small movie. "

Speaking of this, she looked at Adam: "Adam, you are a doctor, don't you say that we only treat a minor illness, as for the bill of tens of thousands of dollars at every turn?"

"How do you think doctors get their high salaries?"

Adam laughed: "Without these overdiagnoses, how would the people involved make money?"

"This is too much!"

Penny complained.

"But it's all legal."

Adam sighed: "On the contrary, if we are not friends, and you go to see a doctor in the past, I won't let you put on a stretcher, take another X-ray, or take anesthesia.

Diagnose directly and then take a tweezer to help you directly pinch the fishbone out, and it will be done in less than 1 minute.

Not only did the leaders of the hospital trouble me because they couldn't charge more money, but if something happened, I was 100% responsible because I didn't follow the 'standard procedure'.

And as long as the process is followed, no matter what the result is, the doctor is exempt from responsibility.

In this case, even if a well-meaning doctor wants to save you money, he is forced to follow the trend by the 'standard procedure'.

Then it became the current mighty general trend and iron law. "

"What's all this called!"

Penny complained.

"Do not ask."

Adam smiled.

The question is the system.

"I heard that you have universal medical insurance over there. Why is your father still so rich?"

Howard looked to Rajesh.

"come on."

Rajesh laughed and said, "You don't really believe in universal medical insurance, do you? You have only 3 million people in the United States, and you can't even manage universal medical insurance.

When you see a doctor and make an appointment, you have to take care of yourself, or hang up, or you can't wait to hang up after seeing the bill.

Let alone our place.

We are full of people there!

Medical resources are far inferior to yours.

If you think about it, you will know what the so-called universal medical insurance and universal smile are all about.

On our side, either you feel better, or you hang up without waiting for your appointment, or you wait until the doctor takes a casual look and send you back, repeating the above two processes.

As for the national smile?

You go to the street to see those homeless people in the United States. When you look at them, many of them will smile the most peacefully, because they want you to be close and want you to send alms.

This is a routine smile, not a peaceful smile! "

"Damn the world!"

Petunia was dumbfounded.

"Adam, I will trouble you more in the future."

Bernadette looked at Adam happily.

"It's ok."

Adam smiled and said, "As my friend, these are basic benefits. I don't want to see you go to sea for medical bills."

Some people might really enjoy donating to such a troubled female college student in this way, but Adam is not one of them.

"What should Sheldon do now?"

Petunia forcibly suppressed these negative emotional influences that were powerless to change, and returned her attention to Sheldon.

"Now Howard doesn't take his class. No one takes his class. Is he still a professor?"

"It's ok."

Seeing Sheldon looking at him eagerly, Adam couldn't help laughing and said, "After all this trouble, Principal Seibert's anger should have almost dissipated, I will tell them, it shouldn't be a big problem. "

Principal Seibert and the others just want to vent their anger, and now Sheldon's ugly appearance in class has set off a new hot spot on the Internet, which has greatly offset their previous embarrassment, and it should be enough.

Under Shelton's urging, Adam directly picked up his cell phone and dialed Principal Seibert.

really.

Just say it and it's done.

"Okay, next time, be careful not to do this kind of thing again."

Adam said to Sheldon.

"I didn't do it, it was Kripick!"

Sheldon corrected.

"Okay, anyway, next time this kind of thing happens again, it's useless if you beg me, whoever made it will be responsible for cleaning up."

Adam smiled.

Everyone chatted and laughed for a while, and then went back to their respective homes.

Leonard naturally went with Penny to Penny's apartment opposite.

Since a bed collapsed, Leonard was very proud to spend a lot of money to buy a new one for Penny, and he publicized it to everyone.

"Hoohoohoo."

Afterwards, Leonard picked up the asthma spray and sprayed it continuously to adjust his breathing, and he still kept teasing.

"If the physical education teacher had told me to exercise hard for this moment, I would have tried harder."

"Do it or let it go, there is no attempt!"

Petunia was quite satisfied with Leonard's efforts tonight, she looked sideways at Leonard and smiled.

"oh, my god!"

Leonard looked at Penny in shock: "Did you just quote Star Wars?"

"I'm quoting a line from The Empire Strikes Back."

Petunia was very pleased with the effect.

Stimulated by Bernadette before, she wanted to study physics with Sheldon to understand Leonard's work, so that Leonard would look at her differently.

But she found it too difficult, even memorizing the lines was so awkward, she just gave up.

It's better to quote the lines directly from the movie.

Not only is it not a mouthful, but the effect is the same, so why not do it!
"My god, I'm with a beautiful woman who can quote Master Yoda."

Leonard exclaimed again, his face full of joy, and then he looked at Penny who was close at hand, looked at her overlooking his beautiful face, and blurted out: "Penny, I love you."

"..."

Penny was stunned, her eyes blinked quickly, and she blinked dozens of times in an instant, then adjusted her tone, reached out to caress Leonard, and said the most embarrassing answer in the most gentle tone: "Thank you~"

"..."

Leonard was also dumbfounded, as early as when Penny blinked like the Flash, he had noticed that something was wrong.

Because in the world of American TV dramas, traditional conventions, sometimes it is inconvenient to say directly, they will say the opposite, and then blink the eyes to express the meaning of the opposite lie.

But Penny blinked so many times in an instant... What does this mean?
"You're welcome?"

Leonard knew that he was going to talk too, he was stunned for a while, and then he said in an uncertain tone: "I just couldn't vomit all of a sudden."

"It's okay, I'm glad you said that."

Penny said with an embarrassed expression.

"That's good."

Leonard was happy for a moment, and seeing Penny's expression, he realized that this was not what Penny really meant, and his smile froze immediately.

The scene suddenly became awkward.
