SWNOVELXO Chapter 216: No Big Problem
Hearing Lin Yi's words, Han Xuewei immediately showed a look of surprise. Mother Lin was also somewhat astonished, and she quickly said, "Lin Yi, are you telling the truth? You really know the doctors here, that would be the best! Have them come down directly to see our Mengmeng."
As Mother Lin spoke, Han Xuewei, holding Mengmeng, also quickly added, "But won't it bother other people, it's not like they will neglect other patients to come see ours, right?"
While Han Xuewei said this, she was indeed afraid that her own privilege would cause others to miss their medical treatment time.
After all, every child is someone's child, Lin Yi immediately shook his head.
"No, they aren't involved with the hospital's doctors at all, they are private doctors doing their own work."
As Lin Yi explained, Han Xuewei suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Lucky for us that you have connections here, husband, otherwise who knows when we would get help."
Han Xuewei said this with some joy.
Lin Yi just nodded without saying anything else.
After all, if the people he called were actually the hospital doctors treating children, there would certainly be objections, but since he called his own private medical team, there was nothing inappropriate about it.
They waited for a few minutes, and then a male doctor in a white lab coat, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and accompanied by several nurses, came walking over to them.
Upon reaching Lin Yi, he said directly, "You must be Mr. Lin Yi."
Lin Yi, hearing this, nodded.
"Correct!"
Upon hearing this reply, the male doctor respectfully nodded and said, "Then, please come this way with me!"
Saying this, the doctor led Lin Yi, along with Han Xuewei and the others, to go with him.
Lin Yi followed to a partitioned room, took the thermometer from Mengmeng and handed it to the nurse, saying, "This is the temperature we just took."
The male doctor, hearing this, waited for the nurse to check it out.
"This is almost thirty-nine degrees, a pretty high temperature for a child..."
Hearing this, Han Xuewei frowned even harder, anxiously looking at Mengmeng.
At this time, Mengmeng's little face was all scrunched up, and the male doctor, who initially thought it was just a minor issue and came to a small partition, realized the equipment there wasn't sufficient and said, "Mr. Lin Yi, let us go up to the emergency department on the top floor, to my place!"
As the doctor spoke, he took them to the elevator, and soon they arrived upstairs.
The doctor then sat down at his workplace and said, "Mrs. Lin, bring the child over."
The nurse remained close by the doctor's side.
"What time did the fever start today? This morning, it was just a slight cold, and then in the evening. There was no fever initially, just a cold which probably caused the fever. The temperature at the time was just a low-grade fever, not yet thirty-eight degrees. I guess it might have been delayed a bit, and the temperature rose, and it took quite a while on the road..."
As Han Xuewei spoke, Mother Lin also chimed in, "This morning there was a bit of a runny nose, but it wasn't that serious, and we didn't expect the sneezing to start in the evening."
Hearing this, the male doctor seemed to understand the symptoms and took out his stethoscope to listen to Mengmeng.
The stethoscope was a bit cold, which made Mengmeng cry immediately, but the doctor was very careful, warming the stethoscope with his hand before touching Mengmeng again.
Mengmeng had stopped crying by this point, but she still looked uncomfortable. The doctor then addressed Han Xuewei, "Mrs. Lin, could you have the child open her mouth, please?"
As he spoke, Han Xuewei reached out to pinch Mengmeng's mouth, but Mengmeng was reluctant to open it. The doctor took a small wooden stick directly, inserting it into Mengmeng's mouth, causing her discomfort, which made her open her mouth.
The doctor, holding a flashlight, examined her and said, "The child's throat is not comfortable; it's already inflamed. I'll start by writing a prescription, then we'll take a blood sample to see if it's just some common flu virus. That way, we can treat the symptoms accurately."
"Yes, come over here, and we'll draw a little blood to see if there's any other infection."
The male doctor spoke as his hands clattered away on the computer keyboard. Hearing this, Han Xuewei looked at Mengmeng's pale little face, filled with pity.
"To have such a small child draw blood..."
Lin Yi too showed a helpless expression. They had taken care of Mengmeng these past days and could not bear to see her hurt at all.
The male doctor could tell from their expressions that they were new parents, therefore especially concerned. He immediately said, "We won't draw much, just a little blood sample. Frankly, one could use a syringe to make a small cut and collect the first few drops of blood, but since the child is so young, we'll just use a syringe to draw a little. It won't hurt much."
The male doctor was quite understanding of Lin Yi and Han Xuewei's worries.
A nurse beside them simply smiled and approached Mengmeng with a small syringe.
The female nurse crouched down while Han Xuewei gently held Mengmeng, spreading out her hand. The nurse was very gentle, and Mengmeng's eyes were open, looking bemusedly at the nurse.
"It's okay, little one, I'll be very gentle..."
The female nurse was very soft-spoken, reaching out towards Mengmeng's hand, which Mengmeng watched passively.
When the needle pierced the skin, Mengmeng cried out, and the nurse gently drew a few drops of blood.
And yet Mengmeng was still crying, and crying made it easy for her to cough. Seeing her like this, Han Xuewei couldn't stand it and immediately started to soothe her.
Mengmeng's face was bright red, coughing so hard that her entire body was uncomfortable, and the nurse looked at her with a sense of guilt. After a while of consoling, Mengmeng quieted down.
The nurse then took the blood sample to the machine for testing. Lin Yi asked, "How long until we get the results?"
"It'll just take about ten minutes!" The nurse answered, working on the machine.
Lin Yi and Han Xuewei silently waited nearby. After a short while, the results came out, and with a beep, the reports were printed out from the computer.
