Chapter 358: To save face, you have face

Medical center.

buffet.

Lunch broke up unhappily.

Adam's reasoning is too straightforward, revealing the rancidity under the delicious chicken soup.

Not to mention Meredith, even Liz is a little uncomfortable.

George and Christina didn't feel it.

Christina is a pure thinking that respects the strong, and she is determined to become a famous female doctor of a generation, so she naturally looks down on people like Alex.

And she was also confident that she would not make a low-level mistake like Alex.

If you didn't have a seat, naturally you didn't feel offended.

As for George, although he is a idiot, he is still upright, and the three views are still normal.

Adam's words, he supports it.

What does a person like Alex who has no medical ethics do when he grows up?

Is it harmful?

In just over two months, he, who is incapable, has the resident doctor and the attending doctor watching, 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.

"This is the result of the inspection."

Adam handed the checklist to Leonard: "The patient cannot be transplanted with an artificial heart valve."

"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 Dawo struggled to get up from the hospital bed in the morning and afternoon, insisting on praying to the window. He is a devout orthodox Jew. He even wanted to change his name to Esther and wanted her I’m afraid it’s difficult to use pig valves."

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

Leonard twitched his mouth, and he obviously knew the origin of the name.

The Jews consider pigs to be a dirty thing.

Orthodox Jews are known for being extremely conservative, and transplanting pig valves to their source of life is definitely a tarnishment for them.

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

"If the pig valve cannot be used, I think the bovine valve can be considered."

Adam reminded: "The Jews do not object, and the effect is better."

"Bovine valve?"

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

Adam knows.

Modern medicine is constantly developing, and new ideas and technologies are emerging in endlessly.

Therefore, doctors are also a lifelong learning profession.

But getting older, the energy and efficiency of learning will be greatly reduced.

In many cases, there is even a sense of powerlessness.

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

Leonard said that he must have never used a bovine valve for surgery.

"We can contact experts in this area, video guidance, it's the first time."

Adam smiled and said, "Also let me learn one more technique with you. Of course, it is just as an alternative, prepared for no trouble. Until then, we will try our best to allow the patient to accept the operation of the pig valve."

"Well, let's check it out first."

With a smile on Leonard's face, he glanced at Adam with satisfaction.

Although they are all old friends and no outsiders are around, Adam is so considerate to save him face, which makes him very gratified.

Ward.

Patient Esther's parents agreed, but Esther directly exploded.

"What?! You actually agreed?!"

Esther yelled at her parents while holding the bottle.

"Baby, this is all to save you."

Esther's mother soothed.

"enough!"

Esther cried, "You don’t respect my faith or me at all. You actually allow them to put a stinky pig into my body, into my heart?! One that doesn’t conform to Jewish precepts at all. Dirty animal! The heart is the source of my life! If I change, what will I become?!"

"Actually, it's just a pig valve, not a whole heart."

Adam reminded.

"I do not care!"

Esther immediately turned his gaze to Adam and sprayed: "Put me with pig parts, it's better to let me die."

"I said, she shouldn't have been allowed to join the orthodox sect."

Esther's father couldn't help complaining, "How great is it to join the Protestant church like everyone else."

"You don't even light candles on Friday night, and you can't remember the ten plagues of Passover."

Esther immediately sprayed to his father: "You all have lost your faith! Now you still complain about me, a man of firm faith!"

Esther's parents fell silent.

The Jewish orthodox fanatics can’t afford to provoke them.

They joined Protestantism instead of Orthodox Judaism, like most Jewish Protestants, because Protestantism is less bound and freer.

In this respect, they have indeed lost their faith.

"Miss Friedman."

Leonard had to speak: "We respect your pious beliefs, but without surgery, you will die."

"Then you guys think of a way."

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

Adam said nothing, but looked at Leonard.

In front of outsiders, especially in front of patients, it is a basic principle to maintain the authority of superior doctors.

The lawless Crimson Cave Flower King Jia Baoyu, who was doted by Jia’s mother, would be even better if it weren’t for outside etiquette, even better than the ordinary children of the family. He was beaten to death by Jia's mother.

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

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

So even if he knew that the cow valve could solve this problem perfectly, as long as Leonard didn't speak, he would be completely ignorant in front of patients and family members, and would not reveal a word.

"Let's think about it again."

Leonard groaned.

After speaking, he took Adam and left the ward.

In the office.

"Adam, since you have proposed this surgical plan, you must have done 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 going to medical school, Adam was able to study several years in advance by buying a forest cabin and hunting animals to practice surgery.

Nowadays, everything is considered thoughtful and appropriate.

Dr. Shept said that Adam was like a person. Leonard thought of the famous Dr. House for the first time. It was not without reason.

"know."

Adam smiled and said, "Dr. Chesney of the Cleveland Clinic, Dr. Kens of Johns Hopkins, and Dr. Morton of Massachusetts General Hospital are all experts in this area."

"well."

Leonard had obviously made a decision, and ordered: "Please contact me. Let's study first. If the problem is not big, we will use a cow valve."
