Sweet Twins

Nancy drove to the hospital. As soon as she walked out of the elevator, Erin rushed to meet her.

"Director Nancy, the patient needs to be treated right away."

"Okay, I will first examine the patient's wounds. Meanwhile, have them prepare for the surgery. We will begin in ten minutes," Nancy ordered.

"Director Nancy, there is another patient that needs immediate attention. The little boy has a severe condition of cavus feet. His father has the same ailment so it seems to be a family illness. However, the child is still very young. What should we do?" Erin said with reluctance.

"I will attend to him later." Nancy quickly walked into the office, changed her clothes, and rushed to the ward.

The patient was a little boy, who seemed seven or eight years old.

"Director Nancy, please help our child. He fell off his bike when he was three years old, and the wound did not heal completely. It caused osteomyelitis so the wound still has exudate until now. It has been five years, but his leg remained short. We don't know what to do anymore," the child's mother cried.

Such injuries were usually caused by doctors' wrong diagnosis.

The doctor who treated the boy might be inexperienced and failed to detect the osteomyelitis in time. And it caused the wound to deteriorate and not heal even after a long time.

"Don't worry. His condition can be cured," said Nancy affirmatively.

"What if his leg remains permanently short?"

"It can be extended so everything will be okay. I promise you that after a year, the child's legs will be the same as normal children's legs except for scars." The bone-lengthening surgery was already very mature so it would not be a difficult operation.

Of course, Nancy was confident.

"If that's the case, I will thank you on behalf of the child, Director Nancy," the child's mother cried with joy.

"You're welcome. So that's it. Get ready, and prepare the child for the surgery. We will begin in ten minutes," Nancy advised.

"Okay," the child's mother agreed.

"First, disinfect the child's wound and clean the blood scab around it," Nancy ordered the nurse.
