Adam 安东
Doctor你好，我是Adam，在广州的一家社区医院当全科医生。我妈妈是广州人，爸爸是加拿大人，所以我从小就在粤语、普通话和英语之间切换。我相信学好医疗中文不仅是一种技能，有时候甚至能救人一命。

"Hello, I'm Adam. I'm a general practitioner at a community hospital in Guangzhou. My mother is from Guangzhou and my father is Canadian, so I grew up switching between Cantonese, Mandarin, and English. I believe learning medical Chinese is more than just a skill — sometimes it can literally save a life."
医者仁心。
A healer carries compassion in their heart.
About Adam
Adam is a general practitioner at a community hospital in Guangzhou, where he sees sixty patients a day and somehow remembers each one's name. He grew up bilingual — his mother is from Guangzhou, his father from Toronto — and slips between Cantonese, Mandarin, and English with ease. His voice is the kind that puts people at ease in waiting rooms and classrooms alike. On Mandarin Temple he voices medical-themed exercises and any dialogue that needs a steady, reassuring presence. He believes that learning health vocabulary might genuinely save someone's life one day.
