716 I am fighting cancer
"You're Dr. Mackay?" Adam's expression was a little surprised, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly as he looked at Catherine, who seemed to be standing in a small office and was at a loss.
"Well, I am. Catherine was caught off guard, and for a moment she wasn't sure what she should do first, but quickly put away her lunch and beckoned, "Sit down, sit as you please." Looking at Adam sitting down on the sofa, there was a sudden silence between the two of them, an awkward silence, and Catherine came back to her senses, "Oh, you are Adam?"
"Yes. Adam looked at Catherine standing in front of him, full of youthful energy, and even with the childishness of a college student, and said half-jokingly, "I thought you were a sixty-five-year-old woman in an earth-gray blouse or something." "It's a stereotype of a psychiatrist.
Catherine grabbed her fingertips stiffly, stunned, "Did anyone say that about me?" she clearly missed Adam's laugh.
"No, no, no, I'm just ......" Adam quickly explained, a rare joke, but the other party didn't catch the stalk, Adam chuckled, "Sorry, can I ask about your age?"
Catherine suddenly realized, without hesitation or concealment, "Twenty-four years old." ”
"Twenty-four? Adam's whole face expressed his surprise, "So you're a girl's version of Doogie-Hoser or something?"
"Doogie-Hoser" is a 1989 American television series about a 14-year-old genius doctor. The leading actor is Neil-Patrick-Harris, who later became popular with "Daddy's Romance".
"Who?" said Catherine, confused.
Adam looked confused, "Duch-Holsil?"
Catherine thought about it seriously, "Does he work here?" Obviously, Catherine was still in her infancy in the 1989 episode, so naturally she hadn't heard of it.
Adam looked frustrated, and the second joke didn't succeed, "I mean, you're still too young to be a doctor." ”
Catherine suddenly realized and explained, "Technically, I'm not a doctor yet, I'm still in my PhD program. "Catherine standing upright, Adam sitting upright, the scene looks like Catherine is giving a presentation, and Adam is the professor listening to the presentation.
"I see. Adam nodded.
Catherine then added, "I'm doing an internship at this hospital. ”
Adam understood, "I see. Have you seen a lot of patients?"
Catherine was a little flustered, hiding her grandeur with laughter, "My diagnosis experience is not so ......" She shrugged her shoulders, trying to find a more appropriate word, but was interrupted by Adam, "I'm your first patient, right?" Catherine laughed jerkyly, shaking her body slightly exaggeratedly, "Ha, no!"
"The second?"
"Hehe, no. ”
"The third?"
“……”
Adam looked at Catherine, whose smile was stiffened at the corners of his mouth, the corners of his mouth pursed slightly, and nodded, "Very good, that's the third one." So, what happened to the first two patients?"
Catherine smiled professionally again—though not at all professional, and still looked a little weak-hearted, and said playfully, "That's what I can't say." "Patient Non-Disclosure Agreement.
"Yes!" Adam remembered, gently tucking his jaw, "It's training for you, right?"
"It's going to be part of my thesis. Catherine's gestures could not be stopped, but they did not have the effect of explanation, and they only seemed superfluous, which showed that she was flustered and nervous, and could not stop at all.
Adam interrupted her later explanation, "You're going to record everything?"
"Don't worry, I won't use my real name. Catherine's explanation didn't work, Adam's eyebrows were raised, the corners of his mouth were pursed down, and the obscure and helpless expression looked a little funny, which really made people laugh.
Again, the corners of Tessa's mouth went up.
That doesn't mean she's a fan of the heavy subject of cancer, but the film discusses the topic in a light-hearted, witty, but not serious, way, that puts people in a good mood. Especially looking at Lan Li's nerdy appearance, frowning, pursing his lips, licking his lips, tilting his head, and a series of small actions, obviously there is no special performance, but it always makes people want to smile.
She loves this kind of blue gift.
Catherine and Adam began to communicate, but this kind of "psychotherapy" is also full of absurd joy, Adam has been emphasizing his calm and calm, but Catherine has been using the knowledge in books to apply to Adam, the result is that the two people talk to each other, the rhythm of the two people does not match at all, and the whole process is filled with an atmosphere of "awkward chat", which is so embarrassing that the audience can't help laughing.
After the cancer diagnosis, Adam seemed to enter a strange state, he did not feel anything special, the peace of mind allowed his daily life to continue, but everyone around him seemed to be suffering, their sadness, pain, hardship, surrounded by a group, he began to become "that person" in the mouth of others, enjoying special treatment, feeling sympathy and pity, and even strangers in the company who never knew him, giving him a hug when they met, a "everything is in plain sight" expression.
The world seems to be the same, but it seems to be completely different.
This left Adam a little confused, as Rachel said, "I don't want to mix that world with this world." Rachel escorted Adam to the hospital for chemotherapy, refusing to enter the room, choosing instead to stay outside and wait for the four-hour chemotherapy to end, she said.
These are two worlds. One is the world that belongs to Adam, and the other is the original world. And now, Adam is isolated in another world, alone. However, in the chemotherapy room, Adam has found his belonging, here, he is still an ordinary person, "cancer" is not a sensitive topic that cannot be talked about, "life and death" is not an unavoidable flood beast, and "chemotherapy complications" are no longer a terrible virus that can be feared.
He's still Adam, but with an extra tumor in his body. That's how they introduced themselves.
"Alan Lombardo, Lymphoma, Stage III, nice to meet you. ”
"Mitch Barnett, metastatic prostate cancer, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
Adam Lerner, Schwann neurofibrosarcoma. ”
"Oh, oops. The more complex the name, the more troublesome the condition. This is their response.
The smile returned to Adam's face, and for the first time in his life, he tried the big/hemp biscuits, and the whole world became wonderful, but in the dead of night, the vomiting began to invade, the hair began to fall out, and the cancer began to become real.
"Is he going to die?" Hope's choked voice came to her ears, Tessa suddenly came back to her senses, and when she turned her head, the tears hanging above her eyelashes slid down, and she wiped the warmth from her cheeks in embarrassment, but the smile on the corner of her mouth unconsciously bloomed, "It's going to be okay, everything is going to be okay." ”
Smiles and tears coexist, crying and laughing, mixed joys and sorrows. Such an incredible thing is real at this time. Especially when watching Catherine clumsily slap Adam's arm, trying to alleviate Adam's anger through physical contact, but was described by Adam as a "sea otter", Adam's disgusted expression, and Catherine's incredulous expression, the audience collectively clapped and laughed, and it was the kind that was endless.
Then the audience saw the most incredible scene: Adam was about to shave his own hair.
Tessa couldn't help but start curling up in her chair, leaning her knees and chest together, and covering her eyes with her hands, "Oh God! Oh, God! The young master won't do this, the young master won't do this!" Tessa's reaction was exactly the same as Taylor in the movie, not only her, but the whole screening room was full of fuss.
Even Jennifer Lawrence, Paul Walker, and others couldn't help but exclaim, "No, don't, don't!"
This should be the most lively moment on the scene after the movie starts. There is no such plot in the trailer, there is no such picture in the poster, and there is no such reminder in the early publicity, so the whole audience is fried, and the number of people calling for Jesus and God has skyrocketed at this moment, and then with Adam's crisp and neat shaving of his head, the audience is boiling, and strange screams are coming and going.
Not to mention the audience, even the reporters were amazed: when did this happen? Why didn't they have any news? Why did no one ever photograph Lan Li's bald moment? Why didn't the paparazzi catch such a big news? Why did they look at the big screen like fools at the moment?
Wait, Lan Li was absent from the Oscars at the beginning of the year, is it just to shoot this scene......? This is simply a ridiculous fallacy! No, certainly not!
When Adam finishes kicking his bald head, he and Kyle get into a verbal fight there, and the laughter and screams from the scene can't stop there. Tessa couldn't believe her eyes, she looked and looked, but her smile still couldn't calm down, and as soon as she turned her head, her eyes fell on Hope's eyes, and the two of them laughed again.
Bald blue salute?
It's an indescribable feeling.
"But, I think the young master is still handsome, you say, am I blind?" Tessa looked at Hope with a confused expression, but the smile in her eyes couldn't be hidden at all.
Hope also said seriously, "I agree with you, the bald young master is really charming. What to do, I seem to be in love with him, this shouldn't be, shouldn't I fall in love with Jacob?" Jacob in "Love is Crazy".
And then the two girls laughed like this, like marmots,
But laughter was only for a moment, and soon, Adam's life ushered in a sea change—or rather, the change had already begun, but it was only now that Adam was hit hard.
Kyle has been using Adam's cancer pickle to win the sympathy of other women, while Rachel is getting busier and busier, disappearing more and more, and the parts of her life that seem to intersect with Adam are getting less and less.
At an art exhibition, when Kyle was dating, he saw Rachel flirting with another bearded boy, and the two kissed sweetly.
It's bloody, but it's also very life-like.
