Abortion is a serious matter in the Western world.

In fact, eighty or ninety years later, with the conclusion of Roe v. Wade, abortion was effectively fully legalized in the United States, but at the end of the 19th century it was completely different. In this regard, Americans have always followed the British footsteps, and most states have made pre-fetal abortion a misdemeanor and post-fetal abortion second-degree murder!

So, it's a very serious topic.

Of course, the reason is not only religious or conservative, but also because in this era, abortion is a very dangerous thing, because it is difficult to ensure the safety of pregnant women through surgery or various methods. Therefore, even if the law later stipulates special conditions for abortion, for example, in some special circumstances to ensure the safety of pregnant women, this right is in the hands of the doctor, and it does not count if the pregnant woman herself says it.

In short, abortion is as illegal as contraception these days.

Therefore, after listening to Kelly's narration, John's brows suddenly furrowed tightly: "Howard, are you sure of the reason?" Is it because of this...... Abortion? ”

"This ......"

Kelly rubbed his hands in distress, shook his head helplessly, and said, "I'm sorry, I just checked her, but I can't determine what kind of disease caused the bleeding, so I can only say...... This possibility cannot be ruled out! ”

"It's just possible......"

Pinching his chin, John looked thoughtfully at Miss Black. After understanding the cause and effect, John also understood the shouting and scolding he had just heard outside the door and the strange attitude of the Blacks.

And......

Turning his head to look at Mr. Black with a gloomy face, John also secretly admired it in his heart.

With Miss Black's age and the atmosphere in the house, she was almost certainly unmarried. In other words, if it is really an illegal abortion, it is a scandal for the Black family! It takes courage for Mr. Black to bring his daughter to the hospital and speak out about the possibility. On the other hand, of course. With Miss Black's thin little body, even if she is pregnant, it is impossible to be too long, so even if it is really an abortion, it is a misdemeanor at most, and it is completely unimportant to live......

But after a moment's thought, John immediately shook his head.

It's just that the girl bleeds a lot, and there are too many possibilities. Abortion is only one of the insignificant ones, and it is too early to tell. However, in terms of current medical technology, there is a lack of effective examination methods, and it is purely dependent on the experience of doctors to make subjective judgments. But in this day and age, too many so-called experiences are wrong......

After a slight groan, John said to Kelly, "You should have checked her before, right?" What about records? Can you show me? ”

"Good!"

Didn't hesitate, Howard? Kelly quickly brought John medical records.

If it was someone else, even Thomas or Professor Osler, Kelly would have to think about it. After all, this case has its own peculiarities. For the sake of protecting the patient, he must think about it. But it was John, and Kelly had nothing to hesitate about. He knew that although his boss was not an obstetrician and gynecologist, the two had discussed related issues during their previous time in Europe, and in Kelly's opinion, the other party was much higher than his level.

"Mr. Kelly"

Seeing that the medical record book recording his daughter's situation was flipped through by John, Mr. Black's face suddenly sank and he stepped forward and said, "I seem to have asked you not to know about Jasmine except you, right?" ”

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Kelly was slightly stunned. Hurriedly explained apologetically: "Mr. Black, I was a little anxious just now. Forgot your request...... However, I would personally recommend asking Mr. Huntelaar to look at Miss Black's medical records, because he is not just a surgeon, in fact, he is a skilled obstetrician and gynaecologist! Mr. Black, I can assure you that if Mr. Huntelaar can help. It would be very good for Miss Black! ”

John didn't speak, just took the medical records and waited quietly for the outcome of the negotiation between the two.

It was a little surprising, but John understood the feeling of Mr. Black, who was so frightening to say it. If Miss Black really bleeds from an abortion, it would be an absolute scandal for their family. Of course, the fewer people who know, the better! Fortunately, Mr. Black didn't hear what Kelly whispered to John just now, otherwise he would have been furious by this time, right?

Kelly whispered persuasion, and soon Mrs. Black came over.

After the three of them muttered for a long time, Mr. Black nodded unhappily, shook his hand and walked back to his chair and sat down.

John didn't have to ask to know that the other party agreed.

Under Mr. Black's watchful eye, John looked at Kelly's medical records seriously. Kelly's medical records are very standardized, judging from the records of the physical examination, Miss Black's physical indicators are quite normal, and what is more noticeable is that the girl had a cold not long ago, and there was a nosebleed before......

"Cold? Nosebleeds? ”

John's heart suddenly moved when he saw this, and he remembered the strange feeling he had found in Miss Black in the glimpse he had just made!

After closing the medical notebook, John groaned slightly, and simply walked over to Miss Black.

John didn't speak, but leaned down to look at the girl in front of him. And swept away by John's gaze, Jasmine? Blake immediately became nervous, because she was sensitive to the other's gaze as if it was on her neck and chest.

"Mr. Huntelaar, do you see anything?"

Howard? Kelly's eyebrows furrowed, and he stepped forward and asked softly.

As Kelly asked this sentence, Mrs. Black came over with a nervous face, and even Mr. Black, who had been silent, trembled and couldn't help but prick up his ears - even if he didn't trust this young man very much, the other party's reputation was not small after all, and there was always a little hope in his heart!

"Well, that's a bit of an idea."

After a moment of silence, John smiled and said, "Miss Black, can I give you another physical examination?" ”

"Yes...... OK! ”

The voice was slightly louder than the text, and Miss Black replied with her head down.

After getting the patient's consent, John straightened up and turned his head and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Black, Mrs. Black, because I want to examine the skin of Miss Black's body all over her body, so I'm afraid I need to ask for the opinions of both of you...... May I? ”

"What?"

After hearing this, Mr. Black's face changed and he stood up suddenly...... (To be continued.) )
