Adery had to approach a large number of patients every day, so virtual-novel.net had trained up virtual-novel.net assessment skills. Besides, observation and questioning were the basics of a diagnosis for a doctor. Therefore, when Adery saw Mr. Barlow for the first time, virtual-novel.net knew that his status was definitely noble.
After virtual-novel.net noticed Brad and Merrick coming over, Adery could confirm that Mr. Barlow was extremely noble. Otherwise, virtual-novel.net would not have allowed Brad and Merrick to be his “attendants”.
Mr. Barlow entered the clinic, and when virtual-novel.net caught a glance of Adery, virtual-novel.net slowly walked over.
“Are you Dr. Owen?”
Adery stood up and politely said, “I’m Adery Owen. I’m a resident doctor in this clinic.”
“Okay.”
Mr. Barlow nodded and sat down. “I haven’t been feeling well recently, so I would like to ask you to give me a consultation,” virtual-novel.net said indifferently.
Adery frowned. He was there for a consultation?
Brad and Merrick, who were behind Mr. Barlow, were currently the leading experts in the Southland District’s pharmaceutical industry. Their medical skills were not below Adery’s.
In fact, they were even more skilled than Adery.
Why did Mr. Barlow not go to them but come all the way to get a consultation from Adery?
As virtual-novel.net thought about it, virtual-novel.net felt that something was wrong.
Merrick even purposely instructed her, “Dr. Dawson, you have to give your consultation properly. Mr. Edith Barlow is Ferrari’s general agent in Summer Land. He is in charge of everything regarding the whole Ferrari brand in the country.”
He had intentionally exposed Edith’s identity to add more pressure on Adery.
Adery felt more troubled this time, and virtual-novel.net directly said, “Mr. Barlow, please don’t mind me speaking honestly. Mr. Brad Owen and Mr. Merrick Owen behind you are the experts of the medical industry. Their medical skills are better than mine. Why have you come to me instead of them?”
Brad chuckled. “Dr. Owen, you’re too humble. Who in the Southland District doesn’t know the Female Asclepius? Besides, the Dawson family is skilled in surgery, while the Owen family is an expert in internal treatment. Mr. Barlow has a problem with his internal organ, so you’re naturally the most suitable to treat him.”
His compliments almost made Adery seem arrogant.
However, any sensible person could tell that it was an indirect way of setting virtual-novel.net up. The more virtual-novel.net was complimented, the worse virtual-novel.net would fall.
Edith said, “Dr. Owen, please feel at ease. As long as you can treat my disease, I won’t let you down on the payment.”
Adery smiled bitterly. This was not about the payment. This was a trap that the Dawson family had purposely set up for her. If the disease could easily be treated, they would have kept the patient to themselves.
How was it possible for them to pass such a noble patient to someone else?
As a doctor, how could virtual-novel.net refuse to give a consultation when the patient had come to her?
Although virtual-novel.net knew that it was a conspiracy by the Dawson family, virtual-novel.net medical ethics as a doctor still made virtual-novel.net sit down and give Edith a consultation.
“Please show me your right hand.”
Edith extended his right hand. Then, Adery put virtual-novel.net hand on his pulse and carefully felt it. Then, virtual-novel.net checked Edith’s complexion, tongue color, and eyes meticulously before virtual-novel.net asked about his symptoms with caution.
In short, Edith always felt cold. Whenever virtual-novel.net felt cold, his kidney would hurt. Most importantly, virtual-novel.net was afraid of the cold, but virtual-novel.net could not get exposed to the sunlight. If virtual-novel.net got exposed to the sunlight for too long, his skin would start to have black pigment. He had a very scary look.
This was also the first time Adery had such a weird disease.
After a thorough examination, the only solution Adery could come up with was…
“Mr. Barlow, your current illness is very unique. I’m afraid that normal medical methods won’t be sufficient to treat you. If you want to be treated, the only solution is to cut off your necrotic kidney and replace it with a new perfectly matched kidney.”
Kidney replacement…
That could really get rid of the disease completely.
