Daily American Drama

medical center.

Orthopedic ward.

……how so?

The young lieutenant was dumbfounded: My officer told me that Major Hunter is a very powerful tough guy, how could he...

A good swimmer drowns.

Adam pointed to George and said: If you don't believe me, look at his neck. It was strangled by Dr. Hunter who was suffering from PTSD. If he didn't stop it in time, the consequences would be disastrous.

The young lieutenant looked at George suddenly.

Under Adam's gaze, George could only raise his neck, revealing serious bruises.

By the way, Dr. Hunter has never said that he has PTSD problems.

Adam reminded.

I'm not like him.

The young lieutenant was silent for a while, and his eyes became firm again: My whole life will be dedicated to the battlefield.

The battlefield needs soldiers with amputations below the knee?

Adam was surprised.

There are many of them.

The young lieutenant said to himself: The battlefield is our home, and our comrades-in-arms are our family.

Don't you have any family?

I mean real family, Adam asked.

……I have got.

The young lieutenant said: Can you understand that although you have family members, they don't understand you? They don't understand or even like you?

I can.

George couldn't help answering, I have several brothers like this.

me too.

The young lieutenant glanced at George: The brothers who grew up with me have nothing in common with me, and my brothers on the battlefield are my real family.

No matter where we are, we live and die together.

But here, I can only be alone.

I have tried to integrate into the life here, live the life of ordinary people, and try to find a job.

But I can't find it.

I have countless dreams in my life, many things I want to do, but none of them are here.

What do you want to do?

Adam asked: What can't be done here, what can be done on the battlefield, besides killing people, say one!

...

The young lieutenant: We are not killing... At least we are not killing for the sake of killing, we are fighting for our country!

Except for the so-called fighting for the country?

Adam asked: Didn't you say that you have countless dreams? Do you have many things to do? What else? The big things in life are career and love.

Career is the so-called fighting for the country, so many other things must be related to love?

You can't do it here, but can you do it on the battlefield?

Why?

no.

The young lieutenant was speechless: It's not love.

what is that?

Adam asked: It's not like you said that there are countless dreams to be realized on the battlefield. It's just an exaggerated sentence. In fact, there is only one 'fight for the country'?

...isn't that enough?

The young lieutenant said reluctantly.

If you can't find out the cause of the injury on your leg, even if it is an amputation, there is no guarantee that it will be cured.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Kelly quickly answered.

But it's possible!

The young lieutenant interrupted.

A prosthetic is not the same as a real leg.

Kelly continued to persuade: I only feel that it is a five-pound piece of metal, and it still hurts, and what if the army doesn't want you after your amputation?

Will not.

The young lieutenant shook his head.

Are you saying there is no such possibility?

Kelly interrupts: You're willing to risk this? You're asking to have your leg amputated!

Do you think I don't know?

The young lieutenant said irritably: Do you think I have to cut off my legs? No! I'm in hell now, don't waste time scaring me, you can't scare me!

After so much suffering, I am fearless!

I just want to ask, can you perform surgery on me?

Kelly couldn't help but look at Adam.

I'm sorry, but we won't cut off your healthy leg just because you want to before we determine the cause.

Adam shook his head: If you are sure that you will not accept our further examination, then you can be discharged from the hospital and go to other hospitals, or go directly to the hospital directly under the military. I believe there will be enough help for you.

After finishing speaking, I left.

He is not used to each other.

This lieutenant is only 19 years old. In the world of American dramas, every 21 years old, he is still not a full adult, and he can't even drink alcohol.

Impulsively now, I want to saw off my leg.

Regret it later?

That's a chicken feather.

In fact, if he wasn't afraid of trouble, he would be willing to help the other party.

Emmm.

There is no other meaning, it is purely a study of psychology and academics, to see if the other party will regret it in the future.

Very professional.

Purely academic.

That's it.

Doctor Duncan!

The young lieutenant stopped Adam loudly, with a sincere and excited expression, just like the male protagonist in the hot-blooded comics in the island country, before launching his mouth.

I know you guys are doing your job.

This is not the first time he has been rejected. Normal hospitals and doctors are not willing to help him self-mutilate. He has run enough, so he can only suppress the irritability in his heart, trying to impress Adam and the others with emotion.

Your job is to bring people together safely, not tear them apart, I understand.

I also understand that even if I go back, it will only hurt others, and it means nothing to you...

very good.

Adam nodded and went straight away.

...

The young lieutenant looked at Adam who had already walked out, and after a moment's delay, he shouted again: Doctor Duncan!!!

Is there anything else?

Adam could only turn his head and continue to look at him: Didn't you say you can understand? You also know that you will only hurt others when you go back. This kind of behavior really does not mean anything to us.

We are hurting others, but we are also protecting many more.

The young lieutenant was annoyed that Adam didn't follow his routine: If someone told you that you can't practice medicine, wouldn't you do everything possible to become a doctor again?

That's different.

Adam shook his head and said, Didn't you say it all, we doctors are here to reunite people safely, but you are only hurting others.

You do not understand!

cried the young lieutenant.

You don't understand.

Adam interrupted: Listen to yourself, you also know that you are hurting others, and the reason why you would rather have your healthy leg amputated is to go to the battlefield.

It's not because you really believe in fighting for the country, real brothers and real family.

It's because you have nothing to do but kill.

In a peaceful place, you can't even find a job, and you can't integrate into the life of a normal person at all.

This is the root cause of your desperate desire to go back.

Guess who else has these problems?

Those retired veterans!

And guess what common disease they have?

PTSD!

...Even if you are right, what else can I do besides go back?

The young lieutenant said painfully: Here, I have nothing.

Cure the disease first, and then slowly integrate into it.

Adam looked at him: You are only 19 years old, and your life has just begun. As long as you are willing to blend in, as long as you don't pursue unrealistic goals, what can't you blend in?

That's too difficult...

The young lieutenant's eyes struggled, and then became firm: I would rather return to the battlefield.

But there is always an end to the war.

Kelly couldn't help but answer: In case you just had your limb amputated, the war will be over...

Do not.

The young lieutenant smiled: Didn't you study history? For more than two hundred years since the founding of the country, we have been fighting and never stopped.

Do you think it's over now?

Will it end later?

Kelly: ...
