Daily American Drama

medical center.

It's different.

Christina muttered something, but her small eyes showed that she was persuaded.

She doesn't want to be squishy, ​​and she doesn't want to be Doctor Strange.

Go and apologize to Xue Ni.

Adam smiled: I promise she won't embarrass you.

Christina did not refute.

She also knew she was wrong.

Especially her boyfriend, Dr. Burke, just sat there sadly and said to her: I didn't know what's wrong with falling in love with an intern before, and now I finally know.

I have been a doctor for so many years, I have never questioned any doctor in the operating room, never...

She naturally also heard what he said: I have never been treated like this before.

For a successful top doctor, this is definitely an unprecedented humiliation.

But, what can I do?

He was wrong.

It shouldn't be wrong to let each other's feelings interfere with his decision-making at work.

But he is the attending doctor, even if he made a mistake, he doesn't need to apologize to the subordinate resident doctor.

But he asked her to do it because she was a junior intern.

Now that Adam and the others are saying that, she is not going to be stubborn.

Liz, I heard you had an exit surgery with Dr. Montgomery, cool.

Adam looked at Liz with a complicated expression again.

yeah.

Liz smiled in a low mood.

The patient was an African-American girl who was pregnant out of wedlock and had a tumor in the head of the fetus, which caused excess amniotic fluid and obstructed the airway and spinal cord.

The export operation is to have a cesarean section first, let the fetus come out halfway, pull out the head and arms, and leave the rest of the body in the mother's body without cutting the umbilical cord.

Because the tumor on the fetal head prevents air from entering the lungs, the mother's umbilical cord is needed to continue to maintain the life of the fetus. After the tumor resection is completed, the umbilical cord is cut off.

Imagine that the fetus is lifted half of its body, with its hands on the mother's belly, eyes closed, as if in meditation, the lower half of the body is still in the mother's womb, and this action is maintained for a long time.

It's so mysterious and weird.

Of course, it reflects the greatness of the mother.

This type of surgery is still very rare.

Don't tell me the details?

Adam didn't want to ask Liz why he was sad again. Anyway, he didn't want to miss the details of the rare surgery.

What is there to say?

Liz forced a smile: After we finished talking about the operation plan, we asked them how they sounded and felt. The mother of the patient, Miss Woods, said directly that it sounded complicated and expensive, as if she didn't want to do it.

She's very insightful.

Adam smiled and said, The more complicated and rare the surgery in the hospital, the more expensive it is.

Isn't the health of her daughter and granddaughter the most important thing?

Liz retorted: She didn't want to do it all the time, but she wanted to leave immediately, saying that she didn't want to miss work anymore... I know, I know, life is not easy, but at this time, shouldn't you focus on the most important things? ?”

hehe.

Adam smiled and shook his head: If you say that, it means that you don't know what the real difficulty in life is. You may think you know, but you don't.

In the Dream of Red Mansions, when Grandma Liu entered the Rongguo Mansion, it was because she couldn't live on anymore, and she couldn't find a way to calm down the autumn wind, so she really wanted to drink the northwest wind and starve to death.

Seeing Sister Feng, I heard Sister Feng tell the Jia family that the outside is vigorous, but the inside is actually very difficult.

Grandma Liu said with a smile: In fact, we also know that it is difficult ~ but a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and your hair is thicker than our waist.

Then Sister Feng gave her twenty taels of silver, saying that she would take it if she didn't think it was too little, and said that it was originally for making clothes for the maids.

Grandma Liu was almost knocked out by the happy event.

Originally, I heard Sister Feng complain that her family was also struggling, and thought there was no hope, but who knew that she would get twenty taels of silver instead.

To know.

Twenty taels of silver is enough for their family of four to live for a whole year.

Emmm.

One is that if you don't have it, you will starve to death.

The other is to make less clothes for the girls and eat less meals.

It was really difficult.

The point is that Sister Feng didn't lie, she really felt that it was really difficult for Jia's family to get the dowry subsidy after all these years.

Liz would say, She knows that the patient's mother has a difficult life and must go to work, which made Adam feel like Sister Feng and Grandma Liu said, I know, everyone is equally difficult.

No one is lying.

But it is completely different.

An African-American underage girl is going to be a single mother.

She is a single mother, and she is worried that the surgery is too complicated and expensive, and she doesn't want to miss any time at work. It's too real.

She doesn't make money, who will raise her daughter and granddaughter?

Who pays the various bills that go into the hospital?

Hospitals in the United States are not for charity. If you can’t afford the cost of surgery, no matter what your situation is, you will be discharged or transferred to other hospitals with “caring” arrangements.

Where can I transfer to?

Or go home and fend for yourself.

I do know...

Liz was unconvinced.

Whether you know it or not, she always agreed to her daughter's operation afterwards?

Adam interrupted.

That's because Dr. Montgomery waived her surgery fee.

cried Liz.

That's it.

Adam laughed when he heard that.

As a newly introduced top doctor, Dr. Montgomery has the top private benefits, not just the beautifully decorated big office.

It also includes Dr. Montgomery's face.

That's right!

Americans also value face very much.

A well-known doctor like Dr. Montgomery has the right to exempt patients from a certain amount of fees every year. This is to give Dr. Montgomery a face.

Think about it, such an expensive surgery fee, if you say it will be waived, it will be waived for you.

When the doctor smiles, you are one step from hell to one step from heaven.

Isn't it awesome?

Is it very face-to-face?

When patients and their families see such a doctor, isn't it like seeing God?

As a mortal doctor, do you have a sense of satisfaction in your heart?

That's right!

If it weren't for this, I don't know if she would agree to the operation.

Liz pouted.

Do not.

Adam smiled and said, Even if the fee is not waived, even if she complains that it is too expensive, I believe she will agree in the end.

I believe too.

Meredith agrees.

I believe too.

George raised his hand.

Dont look at me.

Christina half leaned on the push bed and thought about things. Seeing Liz and the others looking at her, she shrugged and said, Mother's love is the greatest, there is nothing wrong with it.

Let's go, the strike activities outside have also temporarily stopped, let's go to the old friend's bar for a drink together?

Meredith suggested.

No.

Adam shook his head: Until the end of the matter, I plan to stay in the hospital and save a few more people. The level of temporary nurses is really worrying.

Then let's go.

Meredith pulled Christina and the others out.

I advise you to better not go.

Adam reminded: The nurses will be over there now, to prevent conflicts after drinking, emmm, of course George can go.

Of course, Nurse George.

Christina sneered.

What did you say?!

George immediately exploded, and angrily chased Christina to explain.

Don't look at him supporting the nurses' strike with the sign of I am a nurse and I am proud.

But whoever said he was a nurse, he was in a hurry with whoever.

After all, I still look down on nurses.

Several people joked and left.

Adam shook his head and turned to go round the room.

There are two sides to everything.

The nurses are all on strike, and saving lives will be much more troublesome.

But relative.

Patients who originally only needed to be taken care of by nurses, under the care of temporary nurses, may get worse or even be in critical condition if they don't pay attention.

Adam felt he could do more.

ps: There is one more chapter to come, the author and the readers are together...
