Chapter 1213: Chapter 479: Strange Pregnant Woman—Fetal Heartbeat Without Fetal Image (2)

The other three infected individuals are all men, specifically the pregnant woman’s boss, current boyfriend, and male colleague.

It’s said that upon hearing the news, the pregnant woman’s current boyfriend turned pale on the spot.

He was infuriated not because he contracted syphilis and AIDS, but because the boss and male colleague were also infected. You see, with syphilis or AIDS, ordinary physical contact doesn’t transmit the disease.

Usually, it’s only through contact with the patient’s bodily fluids that infection is likely.

Moreover, if the skin surface of the hands contacts the patient’s bodily fluids, as long as the skin is intact, infection won’t occur. The skin is the first line of defense in our immune system, much more formidable than one might imagine.

Nearly 99.9% of bacteria and viruses are kept out by this barrier.

Therefore, the fact that the pregnant woman’s boss and another male colleague also contracted syphilis and AIDS cannot be a coincidence. They must have been infected by the pregnant woman.

How exactly they got infected is obvious to anyone who’s not a fool.

A few minutes passed, and then a message came from outside asking Zhou Can to come out for a consultation.

Zhou Can quickly debrided and stopped the bleeding of the patient in surgery, then entrusted Yang Zhi, the medical assistant, to do the suturing.

In many surgeries, he deliberately leaves some surgical training opportunities for Yang Zhi.

Sometimes he also guides Yang Zhi on the shortcomings in surgery, operational errors. Of course, such comments are generally made only after the patient leaves the operating room.

Yang Zhi has lived up to his expectations, growing rapidly, and with his decent surgical skills, he can now alleviate some of Zhou Can’s burdens in various situations.

After handing the patient over to Yang Zhi, Zhou Can confidently went outside to help diagnose the patient.

"Where is the patient? What’s the condition?"

As he walked, he asked the nurse who came to get him.

"It’s that pregnant woman infected with Xiao Mei and Xiao Ai, there’s an anomaly in her abdominal ultrasound. Doctor Yang from obstetrics wants you to assist in the consultation."

As they talked, the two had reached the emergency hall.

Zhou Can saw a graceful figure standing there—it was none other than his university classmate, Yang Chan.

Like Zhou Can, she had also become a regular resident doctor.

"Hello, class monitor!"

Zhou Can greeted her with some trepidation.

He was actually a bit afraid of seeing Yang Chan now because the way she looked at him was very intense.

This wasn’t a good thing.

If Zhou Can didn’t have a girlfriend, that would be fine.

Yang Chan was good-looking, and her medical skills were quite outstanding. It was rumored that she had successfully passed postgraduate exams and was currently a working graduate student.

In terms of academic advancement, she was ahead of Zhou Can. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"Zhou Can, the ultrasound of this pregnant woman is very strange, could you please help analyze it?"

She usually called Zhou Can by his first name.

Compared to others calling him Dr. Zhou, addressing him by his first name seemed to reflect a closer relationship.

Taking the patient’s examination form, Zhou Can was a little taken aback.

On the ultrasound report, there was only a blurry larger gestational sac visible, but no fetus could be seen. Logically, with a belly this large, even with a poor ultrasound machine, a fetus should be detectable, displaying its specific image.

When he first saw this pregnant woman, Zhou Can thought she didn’t have the appearance of pregnancy.

However, there were obvious stretch marks on her belly.

As for whether there are stretch marks on her thighs or groin, Zhou Can did not check.

When examining female patients, one must be very careful.

Looking indiscriminately could get you beaten by relatives.

"Can you hear me clearly?"

Zhou Can asked the pregnant woman.

"Yes!"

The pregnant woman’s voice was sweet and soft, quite heart-touching for a man.

Zhou Can thought to himself, no wonder her boss and male colleague were captivated. If a man is in contact with her at work and is not strong-willed, and she’s quite easy-going, rarely would he keep his distance.

"How long have you been pregnant?"

"Uh... about more than eight months!"

"It should be nine months and two days." A middle-aged man beside her, who looked upset, was lying on a flatbed, apparently with a spinal injury, unable to move.

"What is your relationship with her?"

"Boyfriend!"

It turns out this man is the pregnant woman’s unfortunate boyfriend.

"You remember quite clearly! Your spinal injury looks serious, you need to get to orthopedics for treatment quickly."

Zhou Can sympathized with this man.

The fact that he remembered the pregnant woman’s pregnancy duration clearly showed he deeply cared about their relationship.

But with a glaring betrayal, it must be hard on him emotionally.

"We’ve already contacted orthopedics for him, but he refuses to go, wanting to stay here with his girlfriend," the nurse explained.

"A spinal injury needs prompt treatment, what if delaying it leads to paralysis?"

Zhou Can advised this unfortunate man.

"I must see her and the child inside her safe before I go for orthopedic treatment. Don’t worry about me, just please treat her quickly!"

The man indeed seemed deeply in love.

Zhou Can no longer tried to persuade him, his gaze returning to the pregnant woman.

"Class monitor, have you checked her fetal heart rate?"

Zhou Can asked Yang Chan.

Dr. Xie had measured the fetal heart rate, but not professionally.

For new doctors, Zhou Can was not at ease.

Especially with the peculiarity of this pregnant woman’s case—a larger gestational sac visible but not the fetus.

"That’s what’s most puzzling to me, the fetal heart rate is clear and normal."
