Chapter 1437: Problems Begin to Emerge

Avoiding the fact that his wife is pregnant and sick? Afraid of getting too nervous?

"He’s even more nervous than his wife." Fu Xinheng noticed this as well. After all, as the patient’s attending doctor and being colleagues with the patient’s husband, seeing each other in the department every day, any issues with the patient must be promptly communicated to the patient’s family.

Cao Yong thought perhaps he should have a private chat with his old classmate to resolve the knots in his heart.

"Dr. Cao, you’re now at our hospital’s Department of Stomatology Building."

"Yes, Teacher Lu came to see a dentist and made an appointment with me."

"Dr. Cao, please accompany my patient for a while. Her condition is not suitable for dental work at the moment. I believe the dentists over there, knowing her condition, wouldn’t dare to treat her casually," Fu Xinheng said.

"She said she wants some medication."

"Whatever medication she wants must be discussed with me and the obstetrician first," Fu Xinheng said, thinking to himself how this pregnant woman was really quite worrisome.

Cao Yong realized he was being negligent, as it was clear that his old classmates, the couple, were in a somewhat problematic mental state.

Even doctors, when encountering their own or family issues, can panic easily, and panicking too much is bad, leading to being flustered and making mistakes everywhere. The peculiarity with doctors is that their work habits make their panic not apparent, deceiving even themselves.

Xie Wanying sat beside senior fellow student Li, looking at Li’s belly.

Almost eight months pregnant, the abdominal circumference was relatively stable, growing slowly. Senior fellow student Li wasn’t gaining much weight now, and just by looking, the abdomen seemed about ninety, which was within the normal range.

With Teacher Fu constantly supervising senior fellow student Li’s health and medication, the impact of the fetus on her heart should be limited.

The only issue was, why did she feel like senior fellow student Li’s belly was a bit droopy?

For a first-time mother, the fetus typically engages about a month before the due date. Moreover, when the fetus engages has little connection to when labor begins. However, it is important to watch for signs of premature rupture of membranes.

"Senior fellow student, have you been eating better lately?" Xie Wanying asked.

As the fetus descends and doesn’t press against the diaphragm, the pregnant woman’s appetite naturally increases significantly.

"Yes," Li Xiaobing said nonchalantly, "It’s the end of pregnancy, after all."

Cao Yong came back after the call and told the pregnant woman, "In the afternoon, your attending doctor and your husband will come over, and you can decide how to approach the dental issue then."

"That won’t work, I’ve already made an appointment," Li Xiaobing said.

"It’s fine. The doctors here are familiar with both of them," Cao Yong assured.

Hearing this, Li Xiaobing knew she couldn’t escape, and asked Teacher Lu, "Teacher, how about you? Did you get your teeth looked at?"

"You little rascal, can’t handle your own matters and always bring up mine," Teacher Lu shook his head.

Someone came to the door, soon two male doctors walked in, one was in his fifties, Vice Director Liu Yu. The other doctor was relatively young, not yet thirty, and quite tall.

"Hello, Professor Shen." Professor Liu walked in and greeted the colleagues around, "Hello, Director Zhang. And hello, Teacher Lu."

"Hello, is that your student?" Teacher Lu casually asked about the young man beside him.

"No, he is Dr. Zhou Han from the Xuanwu Dental Department, here for further studies," Professor Shen introduced, "To be honest, his girlfriend is a doctor at our hospital."

"Who?" Everyone present perked up their ears with curiosity.
