"Are you Dr. McKay?" Adam's expression was a little surprised. Looking at Catherine, who was like standing in a small office and was at a loss, the corner of her mouth turned up slightly.
"Well, I am." Catherine was really unprepared. She was not sure what she should do first. She just quickly picked up her lunch and said, "please sit down. Please feel free to sit down." Looking at Adam sitting down on the sofa, there was a sudden silence between them, an awkward silence. Catherine thought back, "Oh, are you Adam?"
"Yes." Adam looked at Catherine standing in front of her, full of youthful vitality, and even with the college students' childishness, he said half jokingly, "I thought you were a 65 year old woman in a gray coat or something." It's a stereotype of psychiatrists.
Catherine caught hold of her fingertips, and was stunned. "Did anyone say that to me?" She obviously missed Adam's laugh.
"No, no, no, I'm just..." Adam quickly explained that it was a rare joke, but the other party didn't catch hold of the stem. Adam chuckled, "excuse me, can I ask your age?"
Catherine suddenly realized, without hesitation or concealment, "twenty four."
"Twenty four? Wow Adam's face was full of surprise. "So are you a girl's version of Doogie Howser or something?"
"Doogie Howser" is an American TV series broadcast in 1989, which tells the story of a 14-year-old gifted doctor. The hero is Neil Patrick Harris, who later became very popular with his "father and mother's romance".
"Who?" Catherine was in a fog.
Adam's face was stunned. "Durge Hauser? Doctor genius
Catherine thought seriously. "Does he work here?" Obviously, Katherine was still in her infancy in 1989, and she had never heard of it.
Adam's face was frustrated, and his second smile was unsuccessful. "I mean, you're still too young to be a doctor."
Catherine suddenly understood and explained, "technically, I'm not a doctor yet. I'm still studying for my doctoral program." Catherine is standing upright, Adam is sitting upright, so the scene looks like Catherine is giving a lecture, and Adam is the professor listening to the lecture.
"I see." Adam nodded.
Catherine added, "I'm interning in this hospital."
Adam understood. "I understand. Have you seen a lot of patients? "
Katherine, a little flustered, laughed to hide her grandeur. "My experience of diagnosis is not that..." she shrugged her shoulders, trying to find a more appropriate word, but was interrupted by Adam, "I'm your first patient, right?" Katherine began to laugh, shaking her body with a slight exaggeration. "Ha, no!"
"The second one?"
"Ha ha, No."
"The third one?"
“……”
Adam looked at Catherine with a stiff smile at the corner of her mouth. She sipped and nodded. "Good. That's the third one. So, how are the first two patients now? "
Catherine once again showed a professional smile - though unprofessional at all, and looking a little guilty, she said playfully, "that's what I can't say." Patient confidentiality agreement.
"Yes Adam remembers, gently retracting his jaw. "That's training for you, right?"
"It's going to be part of my paper." Catherine's gesture couldn't stop, but it didn't explain. It just seemed superfluous, which showed her inner confusion and tension. She couldn't stop at all.
Adam interrupted her later explanation, "will you record everything?"
"Don't worry, I won't use my real name." Catherine's explanation didn't work. Adam raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips. The obscure and helpless expression seemed funny and amusing.
Again, the corners of Tessa's mouth rose.
It doesn't mean that she likes the heavy topic of cancer, but the film discusses it in a light witty but not serious way, which makes people happy. Especially looking at the nerd's appearance of lanli, he frowned, pursed, licked his lips, and tilted his head. A series of small actions, obviously without any special performance, always made people want to smile.
She likes this kind of Langley.
Catherine and Adam began to communicate, but such "psychotherapy" is also full of absurd joy. Adam has been emphasizing his calmness and calm, but Catherine has been applying the knowledge from books to Adam. As a result, two people talk together, and their rhythms don't match at all. The whole process is filled with an atmosphere of "awkward chat", The embarrassment made the audience laugh.
After the diagnosis of cancer, Adam seems to be in a strange state. He doesn't have any special feeling. His inner peace makes his daily life continue; But everyone around him seems to be suffering. Their sadness, pain and hardship surround him. He begins to become the "one" among other people, enjoying special treatment, feeling sympathy and pity, and even strangers he never knew in the company. When they meet, they give him a hug, a "everything is silent" expression.
The world seems to be the same, but it seems very different.
This left Adam a little confused, as Rachel said, "I don't want to mix that world with this one." Rachel escorts Adam to the hospital for chemotherapy. Instead of entering the ward, she chooses to stay outside and wait for the end of the four hour chemotherapy, she says.
These are two worlds. One is Adam's world, the other is the original world. Now Adam is isolated in another world, alone. However, in the chemotherapy room, Adam has found his own belonging, here, he is still an ordinary person, "cancer" is not a sensitive topic that can not be talked about, "life and death" is not a beast to avoid, "chemotherapy complications" is no longer a frightening virus.
He's still Adam, just a tumor in his body. So they introduced themselves.
"Alan Lombardo, lymphoma, stage 3, nice to meet you."
"Mitch Barnett, metastatic prostate cancer, nice to meet you."
"Adam Lerner, Schwann's neurofibrosarcoma."
"Oh, No. The more complicated the name is, the more troublesome the condition is. " This is their response.
The smile returned to Adam's face again. He tried marijuana biscuits for the first time in his life, and the whole world became wonderful; But in the dead of night, vomit begins to invade, hair begins to fall, and cancer begins to become real.
"Will he die?" There was hope's choking voice in her ear, and Tessa suddenly came back to herself. She turned her head, and the tears hanging on her eyelashes fell down. She was embarrassed to wipe away the warmth on her cheek, but the smile on the corner of her mouth bloomed unconsciously. "It will be OK, everything will be OK."
Smile and tears coexist at the same time; Crying and laughing, mixed feelings. Such an incredible thing really exists at this time. Especially when watching Catherine clumsily slap Adam's arm, trying to relieve Adam's anger through physical contact, Adam described it as "sea otter", Adam's expression of disgust, and Catherine's expression of disbelief, the audience clapped and laughed, and it was the kind of continuous.
Then the audience saw the most incredible scene: Adam was going to shave his hair.
Tessa began to curl up in the chair, knees and chest together, hands covered his eyes, "Oh, God! Oh, my God! The young master won't do it, the young master won't do it! " Tessa can be heard without end as like as two peas in the movie get excited over a little thing. Taylor is just like the movie.
Even Jennifer Lawrence, Paul Walker and others couldn't help exclaiming, "no, no, no!"
This should be the busiest moment after the movie started. 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. Therefore, the whole audience is frying up. At this moment, the number of people calling for Jesus and God is rising sharply. Then, with Adam's crisp shaved head, the whole audience is boiling up, and the strange cries are rising one after another.
Not to mention the audience, even the reporters were surprised: when did this happen? Why don't they have any news? Why has no one ever photographed lanli's bald moment? Why didn't paparazzi catch the news? Why are they staring at the big screen like fools?
Wait a minute. Langley was absent from the Oscars at the beginning of the year. Is that why he was shooting this scene? This... This is the fallacy of the desolate world! No, definitely not!
When Adam finished playing bareheaded, he and Kyle were fighting there, and the laughter and screams could hardly stop. Tessa couldn't believe her eyes. She looked and looked, but her smile couldn't be calmed down. As soon as she turned her head, her eyes fell on hope's eyes, and they began to laugh again.
Bald blue?
It's indescribable.
"But I think the young master is still handsome. Do you think I'm blind?" Tessa looked at hope in bewilderment, but her smile couldn't be hidden.
Hope also said solemnly, "I agree with you. The bald young master is so charming. What can I do? I seem to fall in love with him. It shouldn't be. Shouldn't I fall in love with Jacob? "“ Jacob in crazy love.
Then the two girls giggled like marmots,
But laughter is only a moment, and soon Adam's life ushered in earth shaking changes - or that change has already begun, only until now, it hit Adam hard.
Kyle has been making use of Adam's cancer to pick up girls, to win the sympathy of other women to achieve the goal; Rachel is more and more busy, disappearing more and more time, the intersection of her and Adam's life seems to be less and less.
On a painting exhibition, when Kyle is dating, she sees Rachel flirting with another bearded boy, and they kiss each other sweetly.
It's dog blood, but it's life.
