What else could be done?!
That was Dr. Deng's inward reaction to the situation. Today's timing was utterly bizarre; the baby had been delivered the moment she walked through the door! If they had come a bit earlier, they might have been able to help, rather than standing in the yard feeling useless. If they had arrived a little later, they would have turned back halfway and wouldn't be here at all. Besides, none of them had eaten lunch. They had tossed their meal boxes aside and run up the mountain, then journeyed for nearly an hour on the road. Now, things were just awkward!
But as a doctor from a higher-level hospital, Dr. Deng still stepped forward politely to start a conversation with Du Heng.
"Hello, I am Dr. Deng Jia from the Municipal First Hospital's Emergency Center."
"Hello, I am Du Heng, a TCM doctor at the Zhonghu Health Center."
