It was a young couple who came in. They were dressed in very simple clothes. In New York, other than some homeless people, it was rare to see people dressed like that. The woman was holding a child in her arms. The two of them ran to Gardner.
"Doctor, please save my child!"
Gardner looked at their clothes. He had made a preliminary judgment in his heart. Then he asked, "What's wrong? Don't cry. Tell me slowly."
"Look at my child. He seems to be dying."
The child in the woman's arms looked to be about one to two months old. He was in a coma, and his entire body was covered in a thick yellow color. He looked like an Oscar statuette.
Gardner took a look and tentatively said, "Judging from his condition, this is jaundice in children, but he still needs to be checked. You two go downstairs and hand in two thousand dollars for a comprehensive check-up first."
When the husband and wife heard this, they stood there in a daze.
