Chapter 885 The Alternative First Encounter between Lai Da and Er Er
1999 12 Month 24 Day.

Christmas Eve.

With infinite emotion, Adam left the hospital and drove to New Jersey.

It's Christmas in two hours.

Adam habitually takes Peggy to "watch the year", and the warm interaction in it does not need to be repeated.

The next day.

Adam didn't get up at four o'clock in the morning and rush to the medical center as usual.

Instead, he lay on the bed until the sun was high.

Then I got up, walked around the campus of Princeton University, and met Leonard who had made an appointment.

"Hi Adam."

Leonard waved excitedly.

"Hi Leonard."

Adam smiled and said, "Merry Christmas, how are you doing?"

"Fortunately."

Leonard grinned and said, "I've been busy with my graduation thesis recently, and I'll start graduate school next year."

"Then tonight's Christmas Eve, aren't you the protagonist?"

Adam joked.

"I hope so, too."

Leonard smiled bitterly: "However, my sister and my younger brother have made great achievements this year. My college graduation thesis probably won't get much attention."

"Don't you still have your father's thesis?"

Adam smiled and comforted: "You are also a physics paper. In your mother's eyes, it is better than an anthropology paper, right?"

"Too."

Leonard laughed suddenly: "In tonight's Christmas paper discussion group, I may finally not have to be at the bottom."

The Hofstadter family is full of geniuses.

Not to mention that Leonard's mother, Beverly, is a neurologist, psychiatrist, and parenting expert.

Leonard's father, Alfred, was an anthropologist.

Although Leonard's older sister is only 26 years old, she is already a well-known genius biologist. Her status in the field of biology is comparable to that of Peggy in the field of mathematics.

Leonard's younger brother Michael, although only 18 years old, has graduated from Harvard University and just entered Harvard Law School this fall. He is a talented star in the legal world.

Then it's Leonard...

He is the same age as Sheldon and Peggy. He is 19 years old this year, and will graduate from university at the age of 20 next year, and plans to study for a Ph.D.

If there is no accident, after 2 years of postgraduate and 2 years of Ph.D., at the age of 24, he will get a Ph.D. in Experimental Physics from Princeton in four years, and he will get the annual thesis in Experimental Physics.

This kind of achievement, in the eyes of ordinary people, is already a big cow.

But compared with his divine elder sister and genius younger brother, it pales in comparison.

And the Hofstadter family, a scientist, will not celebrate Christmas and other festivals like normal people.

In their eyes, festivals are not used for celebration, but are usually used to study the anthropological and psychological significance they play in human society.

They don't give each other gifts, but papers.

Then discuss in groups and comment on each other.

Emmm.

Make progress together.

And Leonard, a 19-year-old prospective college graduate, produced a prospective college graduation thesis.

Apart from competing with his anthropologist father, who is also under pressure, and competing for No. 2 in the bottom of the family, there is no other hope.

"Adam, do you want to come to my house tonight?"

Leonard smiled and invited: "My mother and my sister both want to meet you."

"Is it because of a breakthrough in my clinical research project?"

Adam understands.

"Ah."

Leonard nodded: "You also know that my mother is a neurologist and my sister is a biologist.

They are all very interested in your incredible breakthrough in the new treatment of malignant glioma virus.

They would be very, very happy if you could come over tonight! "

"Including you, too."

Adam saw through him at a glance: "So they won't pay attention to you, right?"

"hey-hey."

Leonard scratched his head and smiled.

"Okay, I'll discuss it with Peggy."

Adam pondered: "If there are no accidents, let's visit together at night."

"Dr. Adler coming too?"

Leonard's eyes widened.

"Ah."

Adam glanced at him: "But we're just going to visit, and we probably won't stay long. You know, Christmas."

Both Beverly and Leonard's sister are super talented in related fields.

One that can help with research into more advanced neural theories.

One can help to better optimize the virus.

It just happened to be of great help to Adam's clinical research project.

It is still very beneficial to visit them and communicate with them.

"That's great!"

Leonard cheered: "This year's Christmas will definitely be the best Christmas ever! I'll tell them right away."

"Don't rush."

Adam smiled: "I need your help..."

After talking with Leonard, Adam went back and talked to Peggy. Seeing that Peggy had nothing to do, he smiled and told his assistant Lisa, asking her to arrange someone to deal with the Christmas gift, and then went to medical center.

medical center.

The atmosphere of Christmas has also begun to hang over.

"Merry Christmas, Doctor Duncan~"

"Merry Christmas, Cindy."

"Merry Christmas, Doctor Duncan~"

"Wanda, Merry Christmas."

"..."

Along the way, he was greeted by smiling medical staff.

There are also a few brave little nurses, pushing the infusion stand with mistletoe hanging on it, trying to sneak attack Adam, but Adam dodges them one by one.

Because of the tradition in the world of American dramas, people standing under the mistletoe cannot refuse a kiss, and couples who kiss under the mistletoe will live happily ever after.

"...you don't know, Dr. Dixon is exaggerating..."

As soon as Adam walked in, he heard Christina complaining about Dr. Dixon.

"Dr. Bailey was a bit off yesterday."

Adam said in the past: "Knowing that Dr. Dixon has some problems that are very different from ordinary people, and without informing Dr. Dixon, he rashly proposed a new medical plan to the patient's family.

The scene was chaotic and noisy, which stimulated Dr. Dixon to get sick.

Although I don't want to say it, Dr. Bailey was really different after Little George's accident. "

"Ah."

Christina thought for a while, nodded and said, "Dr. Bailey is indeed a lot weaker. Doctor Dixon said that Dr. Bailey is a pediatrician. Thinking about it, it really makes sense.

Only in pediatrics can you not follow the rules.

Because the regulations there are more 'flexible'.

Dr. Bailey, who is so strong, even degenerated to become a pediatrician after giving birth.

How pathetic and terrible! "

Yesterday, a little girl was going to have a transcatheter closure operation. Dr. Dixon was the chief surgeon, Dr. Bailey was the first assistant, and Christina was the second assistant.

After the chest was opened, it was found that the little girl's heart had a serious problem, which could not be repaired at all, and had to wait for a new heart transplant.

But this waiting process will take several years.

During this process, the little girl has to lie on the hospital bed.

After her son almost died, Dr. Bailey couldn't stand the child dying in front of her eyes. At first, she was very emotional and said nothing, and directly withdrew from the operation.

Then, after spending a while with her son in the hospital kindergarten, she thought of using a backpack to place the medicine pump, so that the little girl can still live a normal life while waiting.

So surprised, she ran directly to the ward, and loudly told the little girl's parents about the plan.

The infinite surprise caused by the despair of the little girl's parents directly hugged Dr. Dixon, who could hardly stand the quarrel between Dr. Bailey and the patient's family.

Dr. Dixon, who has Asperk's syndrome, collapsed immediately after being hugged, waving his arms and yelling like a madman, and then fled the ward.

When Dr. Bailey reacted and found Dr. Dixon in the office, she was shivering inside and asked Dr. Bailey to hug her.

Because she needs tremendous pressure to soothe her nervous system.

Dr. Bailey was stunned, but he did it anyway.

It's a pity that the strength is too small.

Christina, who was found later, also hugged her, and managed to calm the shivering Dr. Dixon.

Then Dr. Dixon gave them examples to explain why.

Cattle sit in a narrow trough before being slaughtered.

The trough generates extreme pressure, which reduces the pulse rate and metabolic rate of the cow.

The pressure calms them down, which makes the beef tender.

By the same token, in people like Dr. Dixon, stress relaxes their sympathetic nervous system.

Because of what happened yesterday, Adam thought of going to Leonard and preparing a very special Christmas gift for Dr. Dixon.

Adam looked forward to Dr. Dixon's reaction.

Because in a way, Dr. Dixon is like Sheldon, and this gift comes from Leonard.

The two met on Christmas, and it was almost like Sheldon and Leonard's alternative first meeting.

In a sense, this also proves that Leonard is really Sheldon's destined best friend.
