The obligatory stethoscope was around his neck, pens and thermometer were in his breast pocket. He came straight over to me. "Hello, you're the man who brought the boy in here?" he asked cautiously. "Yes," I said, "How is he?" "I'm Doctor Webster," he said, extending his hand. I didn't say anything but merely shook hands with the man. |
