NBA: The best team doctor in history

Chapter 18: A CEO who looks like Jordan joins the Trail Blazers

"JIANG!"

Sean, who was originally gesturing awkwardly with the clerk, turned around and saw Jiang Ming. He was stunned for a second before nodding and greeting him in surprise.

Looking at Sean, who stuttered like a toy bear, Jiang Ming didn't think he looked like a doctor. It was more like he was a patient.

Just like now, he just wants the clerk to add some ice cubes to his Coke, but he can't say it, and he can't understand whether the clerk wants less ice or no ice.

But sometimes, like when they were facing the little boy's emergency together just now, they were very smart.

But before Jiang Ming could come up with an analysis, Sean turned around and brought Jiang Ming a cup of Coke, and said in a clear voice:

"Don't guess, autism."

After saying that, he took a big sip of Coke.

"Ah? Are you kidding! You are just a homebody at best."

Although he knew that what Sean said was true, Jiang Ming did not show any regret or sadness. Instead, he smiled heartily.

Because he knows that for autistic patients, giving them positive energy is more important than anything else.

In fact, Jiang Ming had sensed something was wrong with Sean since he arrived at the station, but at that time he was concentrating on stopping the bleeding and treating the little boy.

Now I think about how he couldn't understand what others were saying (comprehension barrier), couldn't express himself (language barrier), was stupid and straightforward, and didn't know what "sarcasm" was (communication barrier).

What distinguishes him from "normal people" are also some of the characteristics of autistic people.

But just as he was thought to be mentally retarded because he turned with his hands in a hurry, ordinary people often think that his various behaviors are due to congenital defects.

But in fact, autistic patients are very smart. The more autistic they are, the easier it is for them to "delve into" something. They just can't establish relationships with normal people.

Therefore, this slightly slow-witted young man in front of him must be a genius doctor, otherwise how could he get a medical license at such a young age.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ming sighed in his heart. He must have felt sympathy in his heart. Such a handsome white guy had a disease that even a master of traditional Chinese medicine like him could not cure.

This disease can only be cured by gradually improving the environment to minimize its occurrence. If you ignore the expression of Sean in front of him, he seems to be quite sunny and cheerful, so Jiang Ming guessed that he was able to control it well.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ming first chatted with him:

"You're here too? Are you here to apply for the position of team doctor?"

Sean nodded slowly:
"Yes, I...I was fired. I saw the Trail Blazers were looking for a team doctor, so I decided to give it a try."

"Expelled?"

Jiang Ming looked at the time and saw that there was still half an hour left before the agreed consultation time, so he listened to the story of this "stuffed bear" with great interest.

Sean said he was fired because he performed surgery on a heart patient who came to the emergency department without authorization while working the night shift during his internship.

You are still so idle in your third year of internship? You are awesome!
Jiang Ming, who is well aware of the U.S. medical system, lamented that this guy is just one step away from becoming a doctor!
Studying medicine is a difficult and long process all over the world.

Medical schools in the United States generally last for four years. During their studies, most schools require students to take the first and second stage examinations for the U.S. national medical license.

After graduation, students can obtain a medical degree (MD), but they cannot become official doctors yet.

Subsequently, graduates must apply for the Residency Program to become an intern and complete a 3-5 year internship.

The third stage of the United States National Medical Licensing Examination is taken after the first year of a student's internship. Only those who pass the examination can become attending physicians.

If you want to become a specialist, the internship time will increase by 3 to 5 years.

Attending physicians can apply for the position of doctor only after passing professional written and oral examinations and being certified by the professional committee.

Therefore, to become a doctor in the United States, one needs at least 11 years of study and internship starting from college, and at least 14 years to become a specialist.

Once you are expelled from the hospital, all previous internship period will be invalidated.

Jiang Ming could guess why Sean was fired. It must be that he wanted to speak up, but others couldn't understand. In an emergency, this genius doctor did it himself.

This kid is interning at the San Jose Bonaventure Hospital, which can be simply translated as Los Angeles First People's Hospital. He must be very capable to be able to inter in this hospital despite his autism.

The expulsion was reasonable. After all, with his simple character, it was impossible for him to send Chinese and Maozi to the dean. As he spoke, Sean Murphy wiped his tears silently and held his backpack tighter.

Jiang Ming threw him a napkin: "Just one, don't think it's too little."

This guy is also a wanderer in this world.

"If there's nowhere to go, who would come to pioneer?"

"As long as I can treat people, I'm willing to go anywhere."

"I think so too."

Jiang Ming smiled and patted his shoulder:

"Well, if you hadn't been fired you wouldn't have met me. We are brothers now. I will protect you. Let's go to the interview. No, they have a consultation today. Let's go directly to the consultation."

"Okay! bro!"

Seeing that Jiang Ming actually used the word "brother" in front of him, Sean, who had always been a loner, was enlightened and followed Jiang Ming into the stadium happily.

Moreover, both Jiang Ming's personality and the amazing traditional Chinese medicine he learned in China made Sean Murphy very curious. This guy is so amazing.

Jiang Ming's openness and directness in addressing Sean as brother made Sean so excited that his heartbeat became irregular and he took deep breaths in the back.

When they arrived at the ticket gate, the security guard stopped the two of them, but Jiang Ming was let in directly. With his handsome appearance, he looked like a doctor.

Sean was stopped because of his confused and communication-impaired look.

Jiang Ming: "This is my colleague, Sean, take out your certificate."

"Oh oh." Sean slowly took out his license from his arms and entered the Trail Blazers home stadium after a careful inspection by the security guard.

Jiang Ming didn't mind him following him and motioned for him to hurry up and stop being timid.

A doctor who can’t relate to regular people?
But sorry, I'm not an ordinary person.

I'm a doctor too!
"Are you here for a consultation?"

"Yes." Sean hesitated and wanted to say that he came for an interview, but was stopped by Jiang Ming.

After entering the arena, the two did not see a dark basketball court and were taken to an office by Trail Blazers staff.

It would be a lie to say that there is no threshold. Before the consultation, Larry Miller, the current president of the Trail Blazers, actually personally reviewed the doctors on the spot and quickly reviewed them. After the review, they went directly to the conference room downstairs to gather.

"What the hell, Jordan?"

Jiang Ming was stunned when he saw Larry Miller, because this guy looked too much like Jordan, a little thinner, and he did work as the president of operations at AJ before becoming the president of the Trail Blazers.

He seems to be about the same age as Mo Gou. As one of the rare black CEOs, he is also very capable in operations. He has built a very good lineup since taking office, but... he has been plagued by injuries.

Larry Miller first looked at Sean's resume. He graduated from San Jose Bonaventure Hospital, was 25 years old, and majored in surgery.

"Go ahead, I hope you can give me some good advice~thanks."

Sean was taken away first, and the threshold was indeed not high.

When it was Jiang Ming's turn, he didn't even look at his resume:

"Doctor Jiang?"

"You know me?"

"ZHANG (Zhang Mingji) sent me an email, and I also read your email. It's about traditional Chinese medical science."

Jiang Ming rubbed his nose. Could it be that the CEO replied personally? He thought it was sent by a robot.

"I formally invite you to be the team doctor for our Trail Blazers, is that okay?"

What?
Wait, you're hired already?
