Initial Medical Assessment
First Doctor’s Visit
The doctor initially found nothing wrong with Tom, considering him a healthy baby. He thought Sally’s worries were typical of a new mother. However, Sally insisted that something was seriously wrong with her son, revealing that she had kept him in the sink all day. The doctor’s reaction to this unusual confession was one of surprise and confusion.
Doctor’s Reaction
He couldn’t understand why she would do such a thing, which prompted him to delve deeper into the situation. Consulting with child psychologists and psychiatrists, the doctor sought to understand Sally’s actions better. This professional curiosity was driven by the need to ensure Tom’s safety and well-being. He realized that more thorough investigations were necessary.
