Medical road ahead

Hearing this, Qiao Tan suddenly remembered that she had said something similar, but it was when she was in elementary school.

At that time, her tablemate was named Pingguo, and when they first met, she also asked such naive words, thinking that Pingguo was an apple fairy.

"Pingguo?"

But when he looked at the person in front of him again, Qiao Tan still couldn't connect her with the Pingguo in his memory, not because everyone hadn't seen him for many years, but because the Pingguo in her impression was a spirited girl , the complexion is also rosy, and with a round face, it looks like a plump and delicious red apple.

"What? Can't you recognize me?"

Ping Guo seemed to see the doubt in Qiao Tan's eyes, and then pulled the mask higher, exposing only his eyes, and said with a embarrassed smile: "I'm not the same as before."

"No no."

Qiao Tan hurriedly waved his hands and explained, "Everyone is wearing masks, so I didn't recognize you right away."

"But you still haven't changed much, you are still beautiful and temperamental."

Ping Guo looked at Qiao Tan enviously, his eyes gradually became complicated.

"cough!"

Qiao Tan was a little uncomfortable being stared at by her, and then said: "I want to take my patient to the Red Cross to do something. Would you like to leave me a phone number? We will contact you when we have time."

"patient?"

Hearing this, Ping Guo noticed Xiaoxue standing next to Qiao Tan. He was surprised at first, and then understood, "You really became a doctor as you wished."

"The obstetrician, or the surgeon?" she continued.

"Haha. Neither, but a nutritionist." Qiao Tan said with a smile.

"Nutrition? What's that for?"

Pingguo was at a loss, but after seeing Xiaoxue that looked like a snow mountain, he seemed to realize again, "It helps people lose weight."

"puff!"

Before Qiao Tan could react, Xiaoxue laughed first, "It also includes losing weight, but it's not just about losing weight."

"oh oh."

Ping Guo nodded, no longer asked any more questions, but exchanged WeChat messages with Qiao Tan, then turned and left.

Xiaoxue glanced back at Pingguo's back, and said to Qiao Tan: "That big sister is so strange!"

"What do you think is strange?"

Qiao Tan stopped and looked at her seriously.

In fact, Qiao Tan also felt that Ping Guo was a bit strange, not at all like the lively, cheerful and laughing tablemate she remembered.

However, she couldn't tell what was wrong for a while.

Xiaoxue tilted her head and thought for a while before saying, "I feel like she's sick."

"Get ill?"

Qiao Tan was startled, and finally realized that something was wrong with Pingguo.

First of all, her complexion was pale and dull, just like Xiaoxue's condition when she was first admitted to the hospital, but she was originally a girl in good health and rosy complexion.

Secondly, although everyone wore masks to prevent droplet infection, and it was the cold winter season, there were almost a lot of scarves and hats, but she wrapped herself too tightly, especially when Qiao Tan looked at her The mask was pulled up to avoid her view.

and also……

"She is the same as I was before. Her whole body is curled up, showing low self-esteem, and she doesn't want others to pay too much attention to herself."

Xiaoxue's words interrupted Qiao Tan's thoughts in an instant, but also made her more convinced that Pingguo should be sick, but she didn't know what her hidden illness was.

"Look, I'm in good health now, and my whole body is no longer curled up, but stretched out." Xiaoxue said again.

As he spoke, he spread his arms and walked around in front of Qiao Tan.

"Haha. Once Xiaoxue recovered from her illness, she became more confident."

Seeing this, Qiao Tan laughed heartily, and continued walking with her in his arms, "It's getting late, send these clothes and toys over, and I'll take you to the bookstore to buy books."

"Can I eat out? I haven't eaten out for a long time."

Xiaoxue looked at her eagerly, begging.

"no problem."

Qiao Tan nodded with a smile, and led her to speed up the pace towards the activity center of the Red Cross Society.

Christmas is approaching, and the Red Cross intends to send some gifts to a group of left-behind children and orphans. After learning about this, Xiaoxue also wanted to participate, so she told Qiao Tan about it, and then Qiao Tan called other colleagues , donated some clothes and toys to the Red Cross, and took this opportunity to bring Xiaoxue back to visit the staff who had helped her.

What happened to Pingguo?

Also, where did she go after graduating from elementary school?Why did you cut off contact with your former classmates?
However, Qiao Tan still did not let go of his doubts, and planned to chat with Pingguo Haosheng after sending Xiaoxue back to the hospital.

"Qiao Tan, which hospital do you work in now? Like your parents, are you also in the affiliated hospital of C University?"

When Qiao Tan was taking Xiaoxue to lunch, Pingguo sent her a WeChat message.

"Say Cao Cao Cao Cao is here."

Qiao Tan smiled, picked up the phone and chatted with her.

After chatting for a while, Pingguo finally got to the point, "How is the dermatology department in your hospital? Is it as good as the anorectal department?"

"Ha! It seems that our hospital's anorectal department is really famous."

Qiao Tan smiled to himself, and replied: "Not bad, especially Director Lin Yubai of the Department of Dermatology, whose plastic surgery technology can be ranked among the top three in the province."

"What about other aspects? For example, skin diseases?" Ping Guo asked again.

Qiao Tan replied: "Director Lin's specialty is not skin diseases, but we also have many excellent skin disease experts. Have you suffered from skin diseases?"

After sending this message, Pingguo didn't reply anymore, and Qiao Tan felt that she must be struggling with something.

"Xiaoxue, will long-term illness completely wipe out a person's self-confidence?"

After waiting for a long time, Qiao Tan put down his phone and looked at Xiaoxue who was eating.

"That's right! If you don't recover from your illness for a long time, not only will you lose your self-confidence, but you will even fall into despair."

Xiaoxue nodded her head, babbling non-stop.

Qiao Tan pursed his lips, and said slowly: "The sister Pingguo you saw just now was at the same table in my primary school. We have been at the same table for four years. It was not until we were about to be promoted to primary school that the head teacher re-assigned us. seat."

"It turned out to be a classmate in elementary school. No wonder you didn't recognize her right away."

Xiaoxue nodded, and then asked in doubt: "But she recognizes you. Could it be that you haven't changed since elementary school?"

"Silly girl, it's been more than ten or twenty years, how can there be no change?"

Qiao Tan laughed, and said with emotion: "Pingguo used to be a very sunny girl, with good grades, good sports, and good at drawing. Even our art teacher said that Pingguo had the talent to be a painter, but it's a pity Well, after graduating from elementary school, she lost all contact with me and the people in our class. I don't know if she left City C, or if she has become a painter now, or works in the field of painting. "

"Did your homeroom teacher not hear from her?" Xiaoxue was curious.

Qiao Tan shook his head, "No. After we were promoted to junior high school, the class teacher contacted the students in the class one by one to inquire about our class situation in junior high school, but she didn't contact Pingguo. It seems that they moved and didn't know where they moved. Nowhere, no contact information."

"Did something happen at home?" Xiaoxue guessed.

"Maybe."

Qiao Tan frowned and nodded.

"Doctor Qiao, don't worry, since she already knows that you are a doctor, if she is really sick, she will definitely come to you."

Seeing that Qiao Tan was frowning, Xiaoxue wiped her oily hands, imitating Qiao Tan's facial expressions when he comforted her, reached out and patted Qiao Tan's hand lightly.

At this moment, Qiao Tan's WeChat rang again. She quickly picked it up and found that it was indeed a message from Pingguo.

"Qiao Tan, have you heard of a skin disease called syringoma?"
