Chapter 14: Not the Biological Parents
House turned his head and saw Dan's calf twitch a little, which made him stop.
"Interesting, Cameron, admit him to the hospital."
After speaking, House gestured to the other three with his eyes, and motioned to follow him back to the examination room.
After waiting far away from the boy on the road, House opened his mouth and asked Du Wei:
"What do you think?"
Furman saw that House didn't ask him for his opinion first, as usual, but asked the intern first?
A hint of gloom immediately flashed across his face, and there was a hint of hostility in his eyes when he looked at Du Wei.
A sense of crisis rose again in his heart.
If he doesn't perform well, this intern will have a real chance to squeeze out his position!
Du Wei didn't pay attention to Furman's performance, and after going through the plot in his head, he spoke:
"This should be a phenomenon of unconscious myoclonus.
This phenomenon usually occurs during nighttime sleep.
When people's breathing rate drops, the brain deliberately releases a waking signal because of the conditioned reflex that the body is failing.
But the patient is clearly awake now, so this means that there is no double vision or night terrors caused by external trauma.
There must be another reason. ”
House nodded:
"This is a sign that the brain is losing control of the body, so what do you have in mind?"
Seeing that House finally opened his mouth to ask himself, Furman grabbed Chase's mouth and said:
"I think he's either motor dysfunction or brain failure.
Either way, this kid is going to be in a diaper and in a wheelchair to get his diploma, hehe. ”
Furman thought he had made a funny joke, but it was clear that no one but him wanted to laugh.
Furman coughed in embarrassment, and motioned with his eyes for Chase to speak quickly to save the awkward atmosphere.
Chase smiled and said:
"It doesn't have to be that serious, maybe the boy is just an ordinary infection."
House shook his head, apparently dissatisfied with the diagnosis of the two, and he looked at Dewey again:
"What do you think?"
This time, not only Furman, but also Chase also sensed the importance that House attached to Dewey.
In the past, even if their diagnosis was wrong, House would try to steer them on the right path rather than seeking the advice of a third party.
Is this Du Wei really that worthy of attention?
Chase began to wonder about Dewey's background.
This guy can't be House's illegitimate son, right?
But it doesn't look like it.
"I just looked at his lab report and there was no fever and no white blood cell growth.
In the current situation, I don't think we should rush to make a diagnosis, but know the patient's accurate family medical history.
I suspect this is most likely a genetic disorder. ”
Chase chuckled, he thought Du Wei would say what kind of astonishing judgment.
It turned out that Du Wei couldn't judge either.
Chase shook his head and answered:
"I talked to his parents while you were looking at the test sheets.
Based on the communication, I can confirm that there are no similar symptoms in his family history. ”
Du Wei smiled:
"There's nothing wrong with what you're getting is a family history, but it's not necessarily the boy's family history."
Chase was stunned:
"What do you mean?"
Du Wei explains:
"The child was adopted, and the parents were not his biological parents."
Chase frowned slightly, feeling that Du Wei's explanation was very far-fetched.
It's like trying to prove that your conclusions are right, so you come up with nonsense conclusions.
"Do you have proof?"
When Du Wei opened his mouth and was about to speak, House shook his hand and motioned for Du Wei not to speak.
Then he spoke:
"About 30 percent of fathers in beautiful countries don't know that they are raising other people's children.
So it's entirely possible that Du Wei said it. ”
Hearing this, Furman's spirit was immediately shocked, and he was not sleepy when it came to this!
Even if House is on Dewey's side, he will stand up and refute it!
He's not a waste, he's the one with a lot of diagnostic experience!
"No, I did relevant research in college, and the father-son relationship of the beautiful country is only about 10%, not as high as 30%."
House glanced at the excited Furman and spread his hands:
"It doesn't matter, but Mother should like you better."
Furman felt uncomfortable with the punch in the air.
He never expected that the always aggressive House would not accept the offer.
He had just recalled a lot of information he had prepared, and was ready to show it in front of Du Wei.
Why didn't this House take it?
Furman, who felt tightness in his chest, was unwilling to end the topic, and he spoke again:
"Do you want to take a gamble? $3,000! ”
House looked at Furman, who would normally not have bet more than $100, with some confusion.
Why is this guy so generous all of a sudden?
But House, who was already somewhat sure of the outcome, didn't mind making more money.
"Okay, $3,000 then."
Furman, who was in desperate need of winning money and blood, looked at Du Wei defiantly.
Du Wei smiled, someone wanted to send money, he had no reason to refuse:
"I followed, $3,000, betting that the child was adopted."
Seeing that Du Wei also followed, Furman immediately had a smile on his face.
Hehe, if you eat him, you will vomit back.
He didn't have to pay for the $3,000 he just lost, so he didn't have to cut back on food and clothing for the house this month.
He didn't believe that the probability of this success could also be bumped into by Du Wei.
As for House, he had long wanted to prove that this bastard House could be wrong.
Furman, who was in a happy mood, looked at Chase again, as if asking Chase if he wanted to gamble as well.
Chase thought about it for a moment and said:
"I don't think it has anything to do with a genetic disease, it could also be a systemic disease.
For example, his liver, kidneys, and all other organs except the brain.
So I bet $3,000 on it, which has nothing to do with a genetic disease in the family. ”
Seeing that everyone was participating, Furman turned to House:
"So how do we prove it?"
Truth be told, House didn't know how to prove it medically.
Because the most accurate judgment is best to do DNA comparison.
However, the parents of the other party may not necessarily cooperate with the DNA match, and the second is that the DNA match needs at least $2,300.
Parents don't do a DNA comparison for the sake of a boring bet.
At this moment, Du Wei suddenly said:
"Leave it to me, I can get their DNA, but we have to share the money for the DNA comparison."
The other three looked at each other and agreed to Du Wei's request for apportionment.
Then Du Wei walked over to the vending machine and picked up two cups of coffee.
After asking about the boy's hospital room, he walked towards the ward with two cups of coffee.
