When encountering this situation, experienced doctors pay special attention.
Look at this burly white man, he seems quite healthy on the surface.
But he’s crying out in pain and asking for painkillers.
Classic ’this kind of situation’.
Especially, Vicodin.
At the mention of this drug, Zhou Mo Sen couldn’t help but think of a U.S. medical drama.
And judging by the reviews online, many netizens feel that U.S. or East Japan’s medical dramas are better.
In terms of TV shows, Zhou Mo Sen isn’t too professional.
He’s looking at it from a medical professional’s point of view.
Quite a few U.S. medical dramas have some pretty ridiculous parts.
There’s one highly acclaimed medical drama, named "Dr. House".
I have to say, the plot is pretty good, enough to attract viewers.
But from a medical point of view.
It’s quite absurd.
Dr. House’s identity setting is problematic.
He is a ’general authority’.
The show says he’s an internist, but anyone who has watched it knows he handles all kinds of diseases.
In modern medicine terms.
Such an amazing doctor shouldn’t exist on Earth.
I mentioned earlier that there are general practitioners in the United States, but they’re just mediocre.
And looking at House’s diagnostic process, it would certainly make real doctors break out in a cold sweat.
In fact, the show even mocks him.
They say he likes torturing patients.
It must be emphasized.
In cases where the illness hasn’t been identified, daring to directly use medication or a solution.
Such situations do exist.
To race against death, we doctors do have to take risks.
But not like House, come on!
Taking risks every day, doing it with every patient?
One medical lawsuit per episode.
Who can bear that?
Even if Mayo Clinic had a House.
Their stocks would be delisted.
In fact, Zhou Mo Sen could tell.
Dr. House is actually Sherlock Holmes.
Shooting a series like this really creates suspense and attracts viewers.
But sometimes it’s too far-fetched.
Zhou Mo Sen remembers an episode.
A little girl, they hadn’t figured out her illness yet.
House went through a lot of fuss, and then ordered the surgery department.
To amputate the girl’s limbs!
Luckily, they didn’t proceed.
Honestly, Dr. House, shouldn’t you first treat your own issues?
Actually, he is indeed ill.
Vicodin, House can’t live without it.
You have to admit, Vicodin is a legal painkiller.
But this thing can’t be abused.
Not just House, even Matthew Perry from Friends had issues because of this drug...
Now, the ’patient’ in front of me is just too typical.
"May I ask if you have your medical records?"
"Medical records? Oh dear, I’m in so much pain, I forgot to bring them!"
"Then tell me the hospitals and doctors you’ve seen before, and I’ll call them to ask."
"Why make it so complicated? Just give me a check-up, it’s just a prescription."
"You do know this is a prescription drug?"
"But other doctors gave it to me!"
"Then go find those other doctors."
"You this..."
This hulk was already on the verge of rage, about to spew out a string of expletive-ridden phrases.
But ultimately...
"Please, doctor, I’m begging you, give me a prescription, give me Vicodin..."
He cried, crying like a child.
Faced with this situation, Zhou Mo Sen’s expression only grew colder.
"If your back really has been hurting non-stop, and regular treatments can’t relieve it, you should consider getting your heart checked. It could save your life."
Upon hearing this, the man’s pale face turned beet red!
"Shit!"
He finally cursed, though he showed some restraint.
This guy left, probably headed to the next clinic to try his luck.
Zhou Mo Sen had the authority to indeed prescribe this drug.
However, his authority was, two pills every six hours.
Meaning the safe dosage.
So there’s no need to waste words with this drug junkie.
Not prescribing the drug, because of Zhou Mo Sen’s conscience as a doctor.
Hippocratic Oath.
Every doctor should remember, it’s written clearly inside.
Therefore, after sending off this burly white man, Zhou Mo Sen felt refreshed.
But, Zhou Mo Sen felt something strange.
We are a legitimate cosmetic clinic.
Why would such a person come by?
Zhou Mo Sen pondered for a while, without finding any answers.
Simply called the two nurses to his office.
"Celestine, Heidi, I want to ask, did you hear anything?"
The two nurses were both Black.
Celestine was the head nurse, although technically we’re not big enough to have a head nurse, she also acts as a circulating nurse.
She is pretty hefty, with somewhat bulging eyes.
And Heidi is a young nurse, relatively slim, with small eyes and dreadlocks.
A rookie, she works at the front as a guide nurse.
When asked by Zhou Mo Sen, they exchanged glances.
Both had a questioning look on their faces.
"I mean rumors? Any bad rumors going around?"
Zhou Mo Sen emphasized again.
Celestine and Heidi still shook their heads.
"We’re not the type of bitches who like to listen to gossip."
Celestine even threw out such a line.
Made Zhou Mo Sen speechless.
"Alright, you can go back to work."
No choice but to let it be.
Continued the clinic work, but no more patients came in.
Zhou Mo Sen couldn’t do anything, he could only let the two nurses and cleaners leave first.
He had to do some organizing.
Moreover, he came up with an idea.
Look at previous patients, how many of them had time lapsed, and see if the effects from cosmetic surgery had worn off.
Call them.
But what Zhou Mo Sen didn’t expect was, at this moment.
The clinic’s door was pushed open.
"Hello, is this Monroe Clinic? I mean, a cosmetic clinic?"
A girl, she’s at least 1.7 meters tall, with dark brown hair, a pretty baby-faced look.
The key is her eyes.
At first glance, Zhou Mo Sen was stunned, unable to speak.
She was like an angel fallen to earth.
Pure, pretty, beautiful...the key was her eyes.
When she first walked in, her pupils were light blue, but now, as the light changed, the color deepened.
Zhou Mo Sen, being a doctor, knew some people have eyes that can change color.
But he’d never seen it himself before.
This girl was breathtakingly beautiful.
Cosmetic surgery?
"Are you a doctor?"
The girl was already a bit timid, and now seeing Zhou Mo Sen’s gaze.
She was even more scared.
Zhou Mo Sen immediately realized his rudeness, coughed twice, and very seriously in a doctor’s tone said, "Yes, I’m a doctor, currently the only doctor at this clinic."
Telling the truth.
In fact, Zhou Mo Sen was indirectly reminding this girl.
Our clinic is closing soon.
But unexpectedly, the girl not only didn’t seem to want to leave, she even asked specifically.
"Is there no one else here?"
Zhou Mo Sen was very surprised, but still responded in his serious tone, "It’s just me, I’m Zhou Mo Sen, you can call me Dr. Zhou, "
He was telling the truth.
Actually, Zhou Mo Sen was indirectly reminding this girl.
There aren’t many people left here at the clinic.
But before Zhou Mo Sen could finish speaking, the girl shyly interrupted, "I specifically chose this time to come."
Ah? She intentionally chose this time to come?
Oh? She wants to be alone?
That was quite a subtle way to put it.
The girl smiled and nodded vigorously.
So Zhou Mo Sen invited the girl to his office, and they sat face to face.
"Regarding cosmetic surgery, you can ask me first about everything."
The girl smiled shyly.
"Um... Oh, right, I should introduce myself, so..."
She handed over her driver’s license.
Alexandra Daddario?
The future, the globally famous Daddario?
Looking closely, her face hadn’t changed much, just a bit more baby fat now.
Why didn’t I think of it before...
Alexandra Daddario?
Future, global star.
She looked up briefly, then bit her lip.
"Well... I wanted to talk about something..."
Zhou Mo Sen took a deep breath.
If his heart didn’t pop out of his throat just now, he really didn’t know how to respond next.
But now that he realized who is in front of him.
It seems the only thing to do is to brace himself and face it.
