Chapter 358 Save face for others, only face yourself
medical center.

buffet.

Lunch ended badly.

Adam's reasoning is too straightforward, exposing the rancidity under the delicious chicken soup.

Not to mention Meredith, even Liz felt a little uncomfortable.

George and Christina didn't feel it.

Christina is purely strong-minded. She is determined to become a famous female doctor of a generation, so she naturally looks down on people like Alex.

And she is also confident that she will not make such low-level mistakes as Alex.

If there is no check mark, naturally you will not feel offended.

As for George, although he is a sissy, he is fairly upright, and his three views are fairly normal.

He supports Adam's words.

What does a person like Alex who has no medical ethics grow up to do?
Harmful?
In just over two months, he is incompetent, with the resident doctor and the attending doctor watching, the harm is already so great, if he really grows up...

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and the greater the harm.

Green Clinic.

"This is the result of the inspection."

Adam handed the checklist to Leonard: "The patient cannot be transplanted with an artificial heart valve."

"It's okay, we can use pig valves."

Leonard glanced at the checklist and smiled.

"I'm afraid not."

Adam shook his head and said: "Patient Davo struggled to get up from the hospital bed in the morning and afternoon, and insisted on praying to the window. He is a devout orthodox Jew. I’m afraid it’s very difficult to use a pig valve.”

Esther was the queen of ancient Persia, a beautiful and kind Jewish heroine who used her wisdom to save the Jews in Persia, and was written into the Book of Esther in the Old Testament of the Bible.

The corner of Leonard's mouth twitched, he obviously knew the origin of the name.

Jews consider pigs to be dirty.

Orthodox Jews are known for their extreme conservatism, and transplanting pig valve valves to their source of life is an absolute defilement for them.

Leonard had a headache: "Try to convince her."

"If porcine valves can't be used, I think bovine valves can be considered."

Adam reminded: "Jews don't object, and the effect is better."

"Cow valve?"

Leonard frowned: "That's a new technology in recent years, it's very complicated..."

Adam understands.

Modern medicine is constantly developing, and new ideas and technologies emerge in an endless stream.

Therefore, doctors are also a lifelong learning profession.

But when you get older, your energy and efficiency in learning will be greatly reduced.

In many cases, there is even a sense of powerlessness.

Complicated major operations often take more than ten hours or even longer, and it is really difficult for the elderly doctors to perform them.

Leonard said so, it must be because he has never used a bovine valve for surgery, he has no idea, and he doesn't want to try it.

"We can contact experts in this field, video guidance, there is always a first time."

Adam smiled and said, "It's good for me to follow you to learn one more technology. Of course, it's just as an alternative to be prepared. Before that, we will try our best to let patients accept the pig valve surgery plan."

"Well, let's go and have a look first."

With a smile on Leonard's face, he glanced at Adam with satisfaction.

Although they were old friends and there were no outsiders around, he was very pleased that Adam saved him face by being so thoughtful.

Ward.

Patient Esther's parents agreed, but Esther exploded directly.

"What?! You actually agreed?!"

Esther yelled at her parents holding on to the bottle.

"Baby, this is all to save you."

Esther's mother reassured.

"enough!"

Esther cried: "You don't respect my faith at all, and you don't respect me at all. You allow them to put a stinky pig in my body, in my heart?! A pig that is not kosher at all. Dirty animal! My heart is the source of my life! If it were changed, what would I become?!"

"It's actually just a pig valve, not a whole heart."

Adam reminded.

"I do not care!"

Esther immediately turned her gaze to Adam, and said, "Installing pig parts on me is better than letting me die."

"I just said that she shouldn't have been admitted to the orthodox sect in the first place."

Esther's father couldn't help complaining: "It would be nice to be a Protestant like everyone else."

"You don't even light candles on Friday night, and you don't remember all the ten plagues of Passover."

Esther immediately yelled at her father: "You have lost your faith! Now you are still complaining about me, a person with a strong faith!"

Esther's parents bowed their heads in silence.

They can't afford to provoke the mouthpiece of Jewish orthodox fanatics.

They joined Protestantism instead of Orthodox Judaism, like most Jewish Protestants, because Protestantism has fewer constraints and more freedom.

In this respect, they have indeed lost their faith.

"Miss Friedman."

Leonard had no choice but to speak: "We respect your pious beliefs, but if you don't perform the operation, you will die."

"Then think of a way."

Esther still didn't want to go to God now, she said rationally: "As long as it doesn't whimper like Wilbur (a pig in Western fairy tales), I don't care what it is!"

Adam said nothing, just looked at Leonard.

In front of outsiders, especially in front of patients, it is the basic principle to maintain the authority of superior doctors.

The lawless Jiangdong Flower King Jia Baoyu who is doted on by Jia Mu, if he hadn't had good manners outside, he would even do better than the children of ordinary aristocratic families. He was beaten to death by Jia Mu's orders.

No matter how good Leonard is to Adam, Adam will not be arrogant and destroy some basic principles and bottom lines.

On the contrary, he will protect Leonard's face even more.

So even if he knew that the bovine valve could perfectly solve this problem, as long as Leonard didn't speak, he would act as if he didn't know anything in front of the patients and their families, and wouldn't reveal a word.

"Let's think about it again."

Leonard pondered.

After speaking, he took Adam and left the ward.

in the office.

"Adam, since you proposed this surgical plan, you must have made detailed preparations in advance. You should know who are the experts in bovine valve surgery?"

Leonard walked back and forth a few times, stopped, and looked at Adam.

He knew some of Adam's habits.

Before going to medical school, Adam was able to buy a cabin in the woods and hunt animals to practice surgery in order to study several years in advance.

Now, everything is thoughtful and appropriate.

Dr. Shepter once said that Adam looked like a human being, and it was not without reason that Leonard immediately thought of the famous Dr. House.

"know."

Adam laughed and said, "Dr. Chesney from Cleveland Clinic, Dr. Kens from Johns Hopkins, and Dr. Morton from Massachusetts General Hospital are all experts in this field."

"very good."

Leonard had clearly made a decision, and ordered: "Get in touch with me, let's study first, and if the problem is not serious, use a bovine valve."
