Chapter 2424: Home Visit
What does he want? Student Wei’s displeasure was almost written on his face.
The others watched Mother Wei walk into the leader’s office.
Xie Wanying and the other students were deep in thought: Teacher Cao’s attention to Student Wei was unusual.
"What do you think is going on with him?" Zhao Zhaowei whispered in Zhang Desheng’s ear.
It seemed that Student Wei’s initial mistake was showing his Hermes stethoscope, which caught the attention of the idol drama male lead-like teacher.
Wei Shangquan was so angry that he wanted to throw away his Hermes stethoscope. Teachers usually talked to parents about poor students’ grades, and excellent students didn’t require the teacher’s concern; Student Wei was aware of this.
"Let’s go to the diagnostic room," Student Duan said to the other two classmates who were following him.
No matter what, they continued to work.
Student Pan left work to sleep, waving goodbye to the other classmates.
Once Mother Wei entered the office, Doctor Cheng Yuchen glanced outside to ensure no one was eavesdropping at the door, then carefully locked it from the inside.
Alone with her son’s teacher, Mother Wei’s heart pounded. Like her son, she was worried the teacher wanted to discuss her son’s poor academic performance.
Teacher Cao personally brewed a cup of tea for the student’s parent, and brought it over, saying warmly, "Please sit down, Auntie."
"Teacher, you’re too kind." Mother Wei dared not sit down, her heart anxiously ready for judgment, so she directly asked, "Teacher, is there something my son isn’t doing well? I will talk to him."
"He’s doing very well, very concerned about the young patients. Didn’t he save someone last night?" Cao Zhao said.
A flash of confusion appeared in Mother Wei’s eyes.
Placing the tea in front of the parent, Cao Zhao said, "I think I saw you a long time ago, Auntie."
Mother Wei looked again at his face and the doctor’s badge on his chest, exclaiming in surprise.
Outside, a few young doctors returned to the surgery consultation room.
As the emergency department didn’t have further sub-specialties like pediatric orthopedics, all patients under the surgical category came to the surgical consultation room.
This time, the patient was a five-and-a-half-month-old baby boy with a fever. Normally, when a child has a fever, they’re initially sent to internal medicine, but the nurse directed this child to surgery because she noticed an issue with the child’s little foot.
What was wrong with this child’s little foot? The doctor gently lifted and examined the child’s right foot, and the child’s right foot retracted and relaxed reflexively with mild stimulation, showing a normal response. The doctor then carefully switched to the child’s left foot, gently pulling it, and found the child’s left foot couldn’t straighten.
This was a typical case of clubfoot, with limited dorsiflexion of the ankle joint, and visually the heel was inverted by ten degrees, though thankfully the blood circulation in the child’s toes appeared normal. While Student Duan examined the child, Student Xie was busily writing down the child’s physical signs in the medical record.
"Does this situation require calling an orthopedic doctor down?" Wei Shangquan inquired.
Not on the operating table, Student Duan remained silent and didn’t respond.
Wei Shangquan had no choice but to look back at Student Xie for guidance.
Capping her half-written medical record with a pen cap, Xie Wanying walked over, turned on the doctor’s flashlight, and checked the infant’s pupils, softly feeling the child’s head.
Wei Shangquan was not dim-witted, he just needed a nudge to connect the dots. Seeing Student Xie’s actions, he immediately understood. She wasn’t merely soothing the child by touching the child’s head; she was checking the child’s fontanelle.
