Chapter 4: He Looked Sick
Deyna noticed that many people from the village came to the mountain to see Chief Doctor Song.
She could tell that he was a good doctor and impressive on top of that. She assisted him with the things he needed while looking after the patients.
A little girl entered, but Chief Doctor Song excused himself for a while.
The little girl with her mother smiled at her and gushed, "Big Sis, you’re so pretty."
Deyna responded with a "Thank you." She noticed the patches on the little girl’s skin, so she automatically felt her pulse.
Then she turned her head to her mother and asked, "Did she have a fever before and if yes, how many times?"
The mother thought about it for a while and answered, "She has a fever for a week, it would come for a day then it stopped. And it’s been persisting like that, on and off."
She studied the little girl’s skin...
"What is it, Deyna?" Doctor Song asked when he came back and saw Deyna examining the little girl thoroughly like an expert.
"Chief Song, she has symptoms of Dengue Fever, " Deyna said confidently.
Chief Doctor Song had been observing Deyna for days. The girl was very knowledgeable and well versed with the medical terms, so he presumed she was a Physician. She also knew a lot about medicines and even herbs.
