Chapter 162: Stephanie's Troubles
Baltimore, the largest city in the eastern state of Maryland and one of the most historic cities in the United States, briefly became the capital and was the birthplace of the American national anthem.
In addition, there are many firsts, such as the first city in the United States to have urban street lights, the first city to invent the first modern printing press...... The city that took the first space photographs in American history, the city that created the first modern medical school, the city that took the first image of a man walking on the moon, and so on.
The Port of Baltimore is one of the busiest international deep-water ports in the United States, connecting the East Coast of the United States to the rest of the world and the birthplace of the history of U.S.-China trade.
The famous Johns Hopkins University in the United States is located here.
In the evening, it was almost dark, but the lights were still on at Johns Hopkins Hospital, the cardiothoracic surgery inpatient, and the doctor's office, and there were many doctors working overtime.
Stephanie is one of them, and doctors are one of the busiest professions in the United States, especially those at the bottom.
She was sorting out the information about the course of her illness, and her colleague Angel took one look at her and sent her an invitation: "Dear Stephanie, will we go to Connor's house after work?" ”
Connor is a wealthy second generation in the hospital, and often throws parties at home, inviting colleagues, especially young handsome guys and girls.
During the day, Connor personally invited Stephanie, but Stephanie declined.
But he didn't give up, so he entrusted Angel to come and inquire.
"No, thank you." Stephanie smiled back, and suddenly the whole office seemed to light up, and many male doctors couldn't help but look this way, even the doctors or patients passing by in the hallway.
A male patient who was waiting for surgery and walking slowly in the corridor passed by, caught a glimpse of such a little beauty, and couldn't help but exclaim: "This doctor is so beautiful!" If only she had operated on me! ”
It's a pity that he thinks too much.
Stephanie is now only a resident physician and has been on the job for less than a year, so she has no qualifications for surgery, not even as an assistant.
"If you don't go, I guess many male colleagues will be disappointed!" Angel shrugged and whispered.
Stephanie smiled slightly, revealing two neat rows of pearl-white teeth: "Angel, you know, I work as a part-time evangelist at the Apostolic Faith Church in the Holy Land, and I will rush over to sing the Bible and preach the gospel later. ”
"You're amazing!" Angel stuck out her tongue.
Stephanie shook her head and went back to work.
She holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Notre Dame School of Medicine, a church-founded university that is known by its name and one of the most beautiful universities in the United States, with its many Gothic classical buildings, park-like landscapes, exquisite outdoor sculptures, and stunning campus views, all of which offer visual splendor.
Not only Catholicism, but also clergy from many other denominations go there to study and discuss and exchange God's teachings.
The University of Notre Dame is well-known for its pre-med program, with more than 80 percent of students graduating from it going on to medical schools at other U.S. universities, almost double the national average.
It is well known that university medical schools in the United States, especially those of well-known universities, are quite difficult to get into.
Stephanie, on the other hand, is very talented in medicine, and after graduating from the University of Notre Dame, she successfully entered the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, which is ranked second among medical schools in the United States.
Although she is older than Murphy, she is just 24 years old this year, but the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine she attends is extremely strong, and she is ranked above the UCLA School of Medicine!
Johns Hopkins University was the first research university in the United States and has been ranked as one of the most academically prestigious universities in the world. It has been the first in the United States in terms of scientific research funding for more than 40 consecutive years, and is still the only university in the United States that has invested the most in scientific research.
She and Murphy received a doctorate in medicine and a medical practitioner qualification certificate almost the same year, but after graduation, Murphy went to a small place like the Iris Clinic, and the medical level has improved by leaps and bounds under the careful teaching of Zhou Qiao, and he already has 3 master-level medical skills and dozens of specialized-level skills.
After graduating, Stephanie successfully entered Johns Hopkins Hospital, a big hospital that many people dream of, with excellent conditions (solid medical foundation, pleasing appearance, letters of recommendation from famous doctors Justin and well-known professors at the school, and good expression and communication skills).
For more than 20 consecutive years, this hospital has ranked first in the comprehensive strength ranking of hospitals in the United States!
Of course, because she has just graduated, this kind of big hospital is full of famous people, she can only start from the simplest and most complicated work in it, and she has not operated on it yet, so when she just graduated, she may be on par with Murphy, but now, she has long lagged far behind Murphy's level!
It's just that Stephanie doesn't know Murphy, she thinks that with a genius like her, a medical genius, she can definitely survive in Johns Hopkins Hospital for another five or six years, well, seven or eight years at most!
She has an age advantage, she is only 24 years old! Still young! Afford it! Unlike those who only got their Ph.D. at the age of thirty, they will be almost forty after seven or eight years, and their heads will be bald!
Stephanie's studies have been smooth, but life has been full of ups and downs and misfortunes.
When she was eight years old, her father died young, her mother was schizophrenic, she was admitted to a psychiatric hospital, and then she was raised by her uncle Justin and sponsored her to go to school! Her mother's hospitalization and treatment fees over the years have always been paid by her uncle Justin.
When she was a student at Johns Hopkins University, she not only received a doctorate in clinical medicine, but also a doctorate in medical psychology, so that she could be good at psychological counseling and treat her mother.
Her mother's condition was very bad, and after so many years, not only did it not relieve, but it became more and more serious. She hopes that one day, she will be able to save her mother from the clutches of demons with her own hands! Let the mother enjoy her old age normally!
Stephanie had an unfortunate background, so she threw herself into the arms of the Lord early, and with faith, she had the strength to go on! While studying at the University of Notre Dame, she also studied Theology and Philosophy, earning a Master of Theology degree.
Even if she couldn't become a doctor, she could go to church and become a clergy and live in poverty.
Almost all denominations in the United States, with the exception of the two largest – Roman Catholic and Southern Baptist – have female clergy.
And the proportion is growing exponentially, with countless women coming out of traditional denominations to become leaders of other denominations.
Of course, she works part-time as a preacher, firstly to seek a safe haven for the soul, and secondly, to have a salary, which can relieve financial pressure.
Over the years, she has been relying on her uncle Justin's funding, but she is now 24 years old and has obtained many diplomas, so it is impossible to continue to accept her uncle's funding. Pay it back a little every year, and installments are OK.
It's just that she has just graduated less than a year ago, and she really doesn't have much money.
Stephanie finished sorting out the course of her illness and looked up to see that the office was gone. So he got up and walked outside.
She is only 161 centimeters tall, 2 centimeters lower than the average height of American women at 163, but she can't stand up to her figure.
A little baby fat, walking with a variety of styles, smiling slightly, especially the bulging and swollen chests, and the clothes are torn.
Xiaoman's waist is full of hand, and the peach buttocks are straight and round, with graceful curves and concave and convex.
It's just because of the faith.,It looks very innocent.,In short.,Pure and lust.,The kind that people can't take their eyes off at a glance.。
You can see the beauty embryo from a young age!
When she was three years old, a friend of her mother's, a mysterious tarot master, once divined her, saying that Stephanie must have faith, be a believer in the Lord, and bind herself with creed, otherwise she will become a prodigal witch.
Her mother naturally didn't want her to become a wandering witch, so she took her into the church since she was a child, bathed in the holy light of the Lord, and listened to the Lord's teachings and edification.
Stephanie's childhood was very happy, but unfortunately when she was 8 years old, her father died suddenly, and her mother suffered from schizophrenia and was admitted to a mental hospital.
If Murphy is cold, he is an abstinence iceberg Hepburn.
Then Stephanie is the pure Marilyn Monroe, although she has a bewitching appearance, but because she has always had something on her mind, whenever she is alone, she is a little depressed, and the psychological counselor cannot give her psychological counseling.
It's like some clowns who suffer from depression can make the audience laugh when they perform, but when they are alone, they can't make themselves laugh.
It's like some clowns who suffer from depression can make the audience laugh when they perform, but when they are alone, they can't make themselves laugh.
Stephanie went to church to change into the preacher's clothes, when suddenly the phone rang.
As soon as he answered, it was Uncle Justin.
"Good evening, uncle!" Although Stephanie suffers from depression, when she answers the phone, she immediately smiles like a spring breeze.
"Stephanie, my little darling, how's your work going?" Dr. Justin said with a smile. He still admires this niece very much and has a lot of confidence.
"Uncle, I'm fine. When the holidays are over, I'll go to see Aunt Ling and Aunt again. ”
"Mmmm, looking forward to your arrival!" Justin coughed lightly and said, "Stephanie, I actually called you because I wanted your help to do something, is it convenient for you to speak now?" Is there anyone around? ”
"Nope. I was in the locker room of the church and there was no one around. Stephanie said, and went to the door, pushed the door open, looked around, and made sure that there was no one, and then came back and closed the door.
"Uncle, you say, I'll listen, I'm sure there's no one." Stephanie whispered.
"Well, that's the case...... Dr. Justin told her about his plan and gave her a brief introduction to Zhou Qiao and the Iris Clinic.
"What? Let me be a ...... Spy? Stealing the recipe for the secret medicine? Stephanie was taken aback and couldn't help but refuse. Deep down, she doesn't want to do such a dirty thing!
She never expected that her uncle, a well-known plastic surgeon in California, who she had always respected, would have a ...... character in private So despicable.
However, she didn't want to talk about her elders, especially those who were kind to her.
Before she could think of a reason for refusing, Justin's subsequent words made her unable to speak.
Justin seemed to know that she wanted to refuse, so he immediately blocked her with words, and was quite stern: "Stephanie, you won't let me down, will you?" ”
"For sixteen years, sixteen years, I funded your education for free, as well as your mother's hospitalization fees and treatment fees, you know, your aunt has never agreed, I have put a lot of pressure on you to save money to provide for you."
"Uncle, I know. I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life. Stephanie's eyes were red, she was truly grateful, not ungrateful! After so many years, it's really a lot of money.
Not to mention the high tuition fees at her private school, her mother's hospitalization and treatment fees alone were enough for her to pay for many years.
The reason why she was able to attend Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine was not only because of her good grades, but also because her uncle, Dr. Justin, also graduated from this school, and as an accomplished alumnus, he donated a lot of money to his alma mater every year.
Otherwise, no matter how good her grades are, but without good letters of recommendation and connections, people will not accept her!
"Uncle, I don't have any opinion on giving up my current job and church position, it's just that I'm afraid of disappointing your expectations, what if, I mean, that Doctor Zhou doesn't look down on me?" Tears welled up in Stephanie's eyes.
The two current jobs are hard for her to earn, and it hurts to give up like this! It's really heart-wrenching!
Dr. Justin smiled and said, "Don't quit your job yet, take a ten-day long vacation and take a trip to San Francisco." Well, the leader of your department and I are alumni, old friends, don't worry, I will call him to help you get a vacation. ”
"Don't worry, on your terms, as long as you try your best to do and behave, that Zhou Qiao will be tempted even if he is picky!"
"Really?" Stephanie was a little unconvinced.
In her mind, Zhou Qiao should be a very powerful person, otherwise, how could her uncle try his best to use such despicable means to deal with him!
And he is the executor of that despicable means!
Her heart is at strife! Do you really want to fall and do that kind of thing?
Spy, is this what a self-esteem can do? As a good person, can you do such a bad thing?
"Of course, you have to have faith in yourself. That Zhou Qiao likes medical geniuses very much, there is a doctor in his clinic named Murphy, graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles School of Medicine, the school is not hello, that Zhou Qiao is like a baby, and he takes any surgery with him, teaching him by word and deed. After you go, you will definitely be treated the same. ”
"Although Murphy got her MD at the age of 19, you are 5 years older than her, but you have more degrees and licenses than her, and it is said that Murphy suffers from autism, has a wooden temperament, is not good at communication, you have a more likable temperament, there is no man who doesn't like it!"
Stephanie listened to her uncle's words, and suddenly thought of a question, that is, it seemed that ...... Uncle wants to sell his beauty himself?
Is this really possible?
In fact, Justin also has this meaning, of course, if you can get a secret medicine or recipe through normal spy operations, you don't need to be beautiful. If it really doesn't work, he is willing to exchange the chastity of this beautiful niece for the precious secret medicine formula!
After raising her for so many years and providing her with education, is it for nothing? What is sacrificing chastity?
Justin was not a Puritans, and he felt that it didn't matter if a girl was chaste or not. is very disdainful of Stephanie's virginity all these years. Women must be good at using their advantages!
If you don't have the capital, you don't know it!
"Stephanie, try to do it, if you succeed, your uncle won't treat you badly! When the time comes, the uncle will make a lot of money and obtain an astonishing fortune, which will only be good for you, and there will be no harm! When the time comes, I will definitely invite famous doctors from all over the world to consult with your mother and cure her of her mental illness for many years. When I die, I will have a share of my inheritance, you know, for all these years, I have always regarded you as my own daughter, how can I not give you a share of the inheritance? ”
Stephanie: "......"
After pondering for a long time, she said with difficulty: "Uncle...... Don't worry, I'll do my best. ”
She swore she really hadn't thought about asking for her uncle's inheritance. She was already very glad that she could pay off her uncle's debts before she was thirty-five years old.
"Well, I'll send you the address. In addition, I will transfer a sum of money to your card to fund the operation. You buy more sexy clothes and dress yourself up beautifully. Don't dress too shabby, I know you've always been frugal. ”
Justin hung up the phone, and soon, he transferred $50,000 to Stephanie's bank card! also deliberately noted: "This is your uncle's private money, your aunt doesn't know, you don't have to pay it back." Feel free to use it! ”
Stephanie: "......"
She pinched the phone, couldn't calm down for a long time, and was very flustered inside.
After sitting in the locker room for a long time, I went out, but I had no intention of working.
The old priest, seeing her distraction, took her to the secret room and kindly asked, "What makes you confused and guilty, pray to the Lord." ”
Stephanie hesitated for a long time, but after all, she didn't say anything, she knew that this matter was very important, and if it got out, Uncle Justin would be ruined!
Although the pastor can keep secrets, he ...... She couldn't speak.
"Go, go, follow your heart, and pray to the Lord when you have figured it out, or when you can't solve the confusion and can't solve it. The door of the Lord is open to you forever. ”
"Thank you, pastor." Stephanie bowed and stepped back.
The old priest looked at Stephanie's departing back, sighed, and shook his head slightly. She never imagined that this young man, who had the potential to be her successor, would have problems with her faith.
However, she believes that Stephanie will come back one day!
Thank you for the tips of "Kid, what are you doing", "You are operating in violation of regulations", "Frozen Valley", and "Xia Guang Yiran"!
