Chapter 358 Saving Face for Others, Only by Saving Face Can You Have Face

Medical Center.

Cafeteria.

Lunch broke up.

Adam's reasoning is too straightforward, exposing the rancid stench beneath the delicious chicken soup.

Not to mention Meredith, even Leeds was a little unwell.

George and Christina didn't feel it.

Christina is a pure strong man who thinks and is determined to achieve a generation of famous female doctors, so she naturally doesn't look down on people like Alex.

And she's confident she won't make a low-level mistake like Alex's.

If you don't have a seat, you won't feel offended.

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

Adam's words, he was supportive.

What did Alex, who didn't have the slightest medical ethics, grow up for?

Is it harmful?

In just over two months, he has no ability, and he has a resident doctor and an attending doctor to watch, and 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.

"Here are the results of the examination. ”

Adam handed the checklist to Leonard: "The patient can't get an artificial heart valve transplant. ”

"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, "The patient Davo struggled to get up from the hospital bed in the morning and afternoon, insisted on praying to the window, is a devout orthodox Jew, and even wants to change his name to Esther, and wants her to use pig valves, but I am afraid that it will be difficult." ”

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

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

The Jews consider pigs to be filthy.

Orthodox Jews are known for being ultra-conservative, and transplanting pig valves to their source of life is an absolute stain to them.

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

"If the pig valve can't be used, I think the cow valve can be considered. ”

Adam reminded: "The Jews do not object, and it works better. ”

"Cow valves?"

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

Adam understood.

Modern medicine is constantly evolving, and new ideas and technologies are emerging one after another.

Therefore, being a doctor is also a lifelong learning profession.

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

Many times, there is even a sense of powerlessness.

Complicated major surgeries can take more than ten hours or more at every turn, and it is really difficult for the old doctors to do it.

When Leonard said this, he must have never used a cow valve for surgery, and he didn't know the bottom of his heart and didn't want to try it.

"We can reach out to experts in this area, video guidance, there is always a first time. ”

Adam smiled: "It's okay for me to learn one more technique from you, of course, just as an alternative, just in case, until then we try our best to let the patient receive the pig valve surgery plan." ”

"Well, let's go check it out first. ”

Leonard smiled and gave Adam a satisfied look.

Although they are all old friends and there are no outsiders, he is still very pleased that Adam has saved his face so intimately.

Ward.

The parents of the patient Esther agreed, but Esther blew up.

"What?!You actually agreed?!"

Esther yelled at her parents as she held on to the hanging bottle.

"Baby, it's all about saving you. ”

Esther's mother reassured.

"Enough!"

Esther cried out, "You don't respect my faith or me, and you allow them to put a stinky pig in my body and into my heart?! A filthy animal that does not conform to the Jewish precepts at all! The heart is the source of my life! If it is changed, what will become of me?!"

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

Adam reminded.

"I don't care!"

Esther immediately turned her gaze to Adam and sprayed, "Put the parts of a pig on me, and let me die." ”

"I said I shouldn't have let her join the Orthodox sect in the first place. ”

Esther's father couldn't help but complain, "How nice it would be to join Protestantism like everyone else." ”

"You didn't even light a candle on Friday night, and you can't remember all the plagues of Passover. ”

Esther suddenly shouted at her father, "You have all lost your faith! and now you are complaining about me, a man of strong faith!"

Esther's parents were silent.

The mouth cannon of the Jewish orthodox fanatics, they really can't afford to provoke.

They joined Protestantism instead of Orthodox Judaism, like the vast majority of Jewish Protestants, because Protestantism was less bound and freer.

In this respect, they have indeed lost their faith.

"Miss Friedman. ”

Leonard had to speak: "We respect your devout faith, but without surgery, you will die." ”

"Then you have to figure it out. ”

Esther didn't want to see God right now, and said sensibly, "As long as it doesn't talk like Wilbur (a pig in a Western fairy tale), I don't care what it is!"

Adam didn't say anything, just looked at Leonard.

It is a basic principle to uphold the authority of senior doctors in front of outsiders, especially patients.

Jia Baoyu, the lawless flower king of the Jiangdong who was doted on by Jia's mother, if it weren't for the fact that the etiquette outside was not bad at all, it was even better than what the children of ordinary families did, and she gave Jia's mother a long face, not to mention the treatment of cherishing like a treasure, she would have been beaten to death by Jia's mother's orders.

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

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

Therefore, even if he knew that the bovine valve could solve this problem perfectly, as long as Leonard did not open his mouth, in front of the patients and their families, he would treat it as if he did not know at all, and would not reveal a word.

"Let's think again. ”

Leonard muttered.

With that, he left the ward with Adam.

in the office.

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

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

He knew some of Adam's habits.

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

Nowadays, everything is considered thoughtfully.

Dr. Sheppt once said that Adam was like a man, and the first thing Leonard thought of was the famous Dr. House, not without reason.

"Yes. ”

Adam laughed, "Dr. Chesney from the Cleveland Clinic, Dr. Kens from Johns Hopkins, Dr. Morton from Massachusetts General Hospital, are experts in this area. ”

"Good. ”

Leonard had obviously already made up his mind, and ordered: "Help me get in touch, let's study it first, and if it's not a big problem, use a cow valve." ”
