Chapter 1610: A Strange Phone Call
As expected!
With a click, the door opened!
Immediately, a woman dressed somewhat... complexly came storming out of the office.
How should one describe the woman's outfit?
A bit too youthful, and the makeup was the same, giving a somewhat strange impression.
However, the woman was noticeably overweight, and her figure gave the impression of a spinning top.
Yes!
In professional terms, it's centripetal obesity!
Or central obesity.
The typical feature of this kind of obesity is fat accumulation centered around the heart and abdomen, especially with a larger waist circumference than hip circumference!
Actually, this type of obesity carries relatively high risk.
Generally speaking, patients with centripetal obesity who have a waist circumference larger than their hip circumference are at higher risk for various complications.
Of course, mainly the risks of atherosclerosis, stroke, hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, etc., are about 2-3 times higher than those with evenly distributed body fat!
And the thicker the waist, the higher the risk.
So, patients with this body type should pay attention!
Moreover!
Such patients are mostly middle-aged women.
As you should often see, many women in their forties, most of whom are housewives.
That's right, Guo Baoye is just like this at the moment!
She doesn't seem satisfied with her figure and age, dressing rather exaggeratedly.
But... one can vaguely see that there seems to be a faint semblance of facial hair or beard around the woman's lips!
Yes!
Moreover, she seems to have some endocrine imbalance, acne on her face, and under a rather exaggeratedly wide dress, there are faint purple lines, seemingly stretch marks.
After seeing the woman clearly, many nurses and doctors in the office sighed.
Director Qiao is well-composed, even if he doesn't usually dress up much, but at forty, he obviously stands out more with a little charm!
When the two are compared, it seems everyone instinctively thinks that marital conflicts might be the wife's problem!
After all, you're so fat and so unattractive... Director Qiao is already at a loss!
It has to be said, people are such visually driven animals!
First impressions always come with a preconceived notion of beauty and ugliness.
Of course, no one said anything.
After passing the office, the woman turned back, pushed the door, and walked in directly.
Old Ma's face changed suddenly, grabbing Wu Hui and pretending to discuss a case, but Chen Cang... awkwardly stood there.
Staring at the woman, at a loss, fumbling awkwardly with a smile: "Hello, sister-in-law..."
The woman frowned upon hearing Chen Cang call her: "Call me sister!"
Chen Cang awkwardly smiled: "Hello, sister!"
Only then did the woman calm down, giving Chen Cang a glance.
Chen Cang also seriously observed the woman.
When Chen Cang and the woman locked eyes, he clearly felt a sense of inferiority from within the woman!
Yes!
Shying away, lacking confidence.
The eyes of a doctor can speak; he can discover many issues others can't!
At this moment, the woman bypassed Chen Cang, picked up her bag, sighed, and prepared to leave.
Chen Cang suddenly called out to the woman: "Sister, now that you're in the hospital, would you like to check your blood pressure?"
The woman hesitated for a moment after seeing Chen Cang: "Alright... okay, sorry to trouble you!"
Guo Baoye's attitude towards Chen Cang clearly left everyone momentarily stunned.
It seems she's not like those unreasonable troublemakers?
But why would there be a scene with Director Qiao in the hospital?
Could it be... it's really Director Qiao's fault?
At this thought, some people began to ponder...
After all, everyone felt the woman wasn't a match for Director Qiao; even if Director Qiao cheated, nobody would say anything bad about him, right?
This might be an example of so-called subjective bias protection?
At this moment, the woman sat down, and everyone looked at Chen Cang with curiosity.
Not knowing why Chen Cang was taking the woman's blood pressure formally!
The young nurses were frequently glancing, fixating on the woman.
Qiao Cheng'an, passing by, couldn't help but sigh upon seeing this scene.
A marriage, reaching this point, left him helpless.
The wife, barely over forty, seemed to suddenly enter menopause, her temper increasingly explosive, even a bit on edge.
All this Qiao Cheng'an could accept, as his wife contributed much to the family too.
But now, Qiao Cheng'an often felt something was off about his wife, evading him, seemingly in contact with someone, giggling and very happy, very blissful over the phone!
Their two souls walked this path together once; now their child is taking entrance exams, and Qiao Cheng'an doesn't want to break the peace.
However, the wife is becoming more and more excessive.
After the blood pressure check, Chen Cang slightly frowned: "Blood pressure 160/110 mmHg, sister, your blood pressure is a bit high, have you taken any medication?"
Upon hearing this, the woman's face changed suddenly: "I actually have high blood pressure? I was always hypotensive before!"
Qiao Cheng'an couldn't help but walk in: "Your hypotension was already over a decade ago, caused by anemia during childbirth!"
Upon seeing Qiao Cheng'an, the woman remained silent.
At this moment, Chen Cang suddenly said: "Director Qiao, why don't you take your sister-in-law, no, your sister, for a cranial MRI?"
Hearing this, Qiao Cheng'an was momentarily stunned.
Quickly stepping in!
"Professor Chen, what is it? Did you notice something?"
Guo Baoye, with a dark face: "I don't need you meddling in my life!"
"You go..."
Guo Baoye didn't want to quarrel with him either, turning to Chen Cang: "Doctor, I'll do it myself. What's wrong with me?"
Chen Cang smiled softly: "It's nothing, your long-term high blood pressure might be causing some poor circulation, and since you've come to the hospital, it's convenient, let's have a cranial MRI while we're here."
After speaking, Chen Cang gave a signal to Xiao Ke beside him.
"Xiao Ke, take this sister!"
"Sister, go ahead, no need for registration, we're all part of one system..."
Upon hearing this, the woman shook her head: "No worries, I earn my pay, I won't benefit from Zhang Cheng'an's connections!"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Cheng'an snorted coldly, turned, and left!
Chen Cang paused momentarily.
He clearly heard the woman say Zhang Cheng'an, not Qiao Cheng'an, could there be something?
At this time, Xiao Ke took the woman out of the office.
Seeing this, Chen Cang followed suit.
Guo Baoye, while walking, took out her phone, dialed a number, and then started speaking softly and pitifully.
The voice was somewhat mushy.
At the sight, Xiao Ke wrinkled her nose.
Meanwhile, Chen Cang fell deep into thought.
Because...
With his sharp eyesight, he noticed that Guo Baoye's phone call wasn't connected!
...
PS: There's more tonight, worried you might wait too long, so I released these two chapters first...
