Chapter 69: Gossip and Scandal
New York University Medical Center.
"Adam, take them to the ICU!"
"Adam, send them out. ”
"Adam, help the handle!"
“......”
At this moment, where the cycle of life and death is staged, Adam quickly threw himself into the work, who made him particularly eye-catching.
As soon as the nurses and aunts had something, they looked at Adam as soon as they could, and then happily instructed, so that Adam was almost not idle for a moment.
Fortunately, Adam's endurance is as high as 460 now, which is infinitely close to the level of 'just you show', otherwise it would be absolutely unbearable for another person to have such a strong workload.
Because it was a day off, there were no classes, and today was almost a full-time day.
Night.
At the time of shift handover.
After Adam signed the attendance sheet, he exhaled heavily, politely declined the nurse's warm invitation, and walked towards the locker room.
“...... I couldn't wait to tell my mother everything that had happened, how we had gotten into this situation in the first place, and that we needed to come up with a solution right away.
So we had to join hands to go to a neighboring village to call for help, and we hurried into the cold mist of the night without even putting on our hats.
Although I couldn't see the neighboring village at the time, I was reassured by the sight of a blind man in the opposite direction......"
In the ward in the corner of the corridor, there was a sound of reading.
Adam walked to the door, glanced in, and saw a blonde girl in a white nurse's suit, sitting in front of the hospital bed, holding a book in her hand, reading to the patient on the hospital bed with a gentle expression, the voice was pleasant, as if it could soothe the impetuousness of this world.
Lying on the hospital bed was an old man, listening attentively.
Adam forgot to leave for a while, and stood in the hallway, quietly watching this scene.
Soon.
The blonde girl in white closed the book and smiled softly: "Mr. Tucker, that's all for today, you have a good rest, and we'll see you tomorrow." ”
"Thank you, Caroline. ”
The old man's hoarse voice rang out.
"That's what I'm supposed to do. ”
Caroline, a blonde girl in white, got up, took the old man's hand, and smiled warmly: "If you have something, call the nurse." ”
Adam finally saw her complete appearance at this time, and there was a sense of amazement, and then he shook his head and smiled bitterly, but he remembered the famous saying: "Beauty is like a flower, it needs to be set off by young leaves to show her charm." ”
At the end of the day, what flashed most in Adam's eyes was all kinds of mellow nurses and aunts, and the aesthetic threshold was seriously lowered, and the girl who was only seventy points was suddenly raised to ninety points at this moment.
The blonde girl in white also looked over at this time, glanced at Adam, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Adam, who had recovered aesthetically, withdrew his gaze and walked away.
Take the subway back to the apartment, mingle with Chandler at the bar downstairs, and learn that the bar will officially close next week and will be converted into a café.
In the face of all kinds of ridicule and dissatisfaction with Chandler, Adam laughed and said nothing.
Next.
On Sunday, Adam still went to the hospital.
"Look, look, our Great Love Saint is here. ”
A nurse aunt, as soon as she saw Adam, stood there with her arms folded, and joked in a rap tone peculiar to African Americans.
"What?"
Adam looked confused.
"Still pretending to be with us. ”
The nurse aunt played with the taste: "Tell you a good job, in the hospital, nothing can be hidden from our eyes, have you taken a fancy to the new nurse Caroline?"
"Nothing. ”
Adam shook his head.
"Don't deny it, no one can hide it from me. ”
The nurse smiled confidently: "If you look at it, you can see it, what can't you say? Tell me, I might be able to help you." ”
"Not really. ”
Adam was speechless.
What made him even more speechless was that every hospital staff he met afterwards looked at him, and the cheerful ones even joked directly.
Of course, he remembered that the blonde girl in white he saw last night was named Caroline, but he just stood there and watched for a while, without saying a word, but he didn't expect that the time would be distorted like this overnight, and it would spread throughout the hospital.
The speed of this gossip is really enough, and the heat even overwhelms a pair of interns clapping during the break.
There's no way, the object of gossip is also divided into people, who made Adam's appearance so mediocre.
Staying up until the end of work, Adam hurried to flash.
Outside the hospital building.
"Adam Duncan?"
A somewhat familiar female voice stopped him, and when he turned around, he saw that it was the other half of the gossip scandal, the nurse Caroline.
"I'm Carolyn Ellis. ”
"Hello, Caroline, is there something wrong?"
Adam smiled awkwardly but politely.
"Are you the lead singer of Hard Fruit Candy?"
To Adam's surprise, Caroline was not talking about their gossip at all.
"Yes. ”
Adam was surprised, "Have you heard of us?"
"Of course. ”
Caroline smiled generously: "I used to be an agent for a rock band, of course I heard the fruit hard candy that adapted the famous song 'Don't Cry' of the Gun Flower Band, if it wasn't too far away, I still wanted to go to find you, I didn't expect to meet you here, how can you be a volunteer here?"
"I see. ”
Adam suddenly dissipated his embarrassment, and explained with a smile: "I went to college at Columbia University, and I was going to go to medical school in the future, so I came here to accumulate my resume." ”
"You're not playing rock 'n' roll anymore?"
Caroline said regretfully: "With your talent, as long as you put your heart into it, you will definitely shine in the rock world." ”
"Rock 'n' roll is just a passing hobby. ”
Adam laughed: "Aren't you also a rock band manager, and you changed your career to become a nurse?"
"We're different. ”
Caroline shook her head, her expression darkened: "I used to be busy with work and neglected my father, and it wasn't until my father died suddenly that I reacted and regretted it. ”
"I'm sorry. ”
Adam was very American and said sorry beforehand: "So you quit your job as an agent and came over to work as a nurse to take care of patients?"
"Hmm. ”
Caroline nodded: "What I regret the most is that I didn't stay by my father's side in the last period of his life, and many seriously ill old people, like my father, have no relatives to take care of them, and can take care of them in their last days, as if I was by my father's side." ”
Adam suddenly felt that no wonder she was so patient and gentle with the patient, it turned out that she wanted to make up for her regrets.
"Why don't you go have a cup of coffee?"
"Okay. ”
Caroline smiled: "I heard that the reason why there was an adaptation of 'Don't Cry' was because you made a bet with another band, who lost and who ran around the campus?"
"Haha. ”
Adam couldn't help but think of Cash and his emotional band running in the night.
has this common topic, and is in the same hospital, the more the two chat, the more speculative they become, and the café that they said was good didn't go to work out in the end, Caroline, who was originally the manager of the rock band, dragged Adam to the Di bar and jumped in the middle of the night, which really increased Adam's knowledge a lot......
