University Doctor and His Fragile Patients

Chapter 716: Chapter 530: Outsiders Trying to Mooch Off the Campus Clinic’s Benefits?

Interviewing several frail university students one after another, it turns out their thoughts are all quite similar—they’re all taking a chance at the college clinic with a "try anything once" attitude.

Moreover.

The intern doctors from Hai City University of Traditional Medicine also expressed that they could handle such issues.

The frail university students are also very understanding.

Just like before they met, they didn’t insist that Chen Mu himself diagnose them; the intern doctors will do as well.

After all.

At Hai City University, Dr. Chen is the only on-duty school doctor left.

If they overwork Dr. Chen based on skill alone.

In the future when they encounter similar problems, there’d truly be no place for free medical services.

Su Bingbing would interview a couple of frail university students every few steps.

On the one hand, for the program’s effect.

And on the other hand...

Su Bingbing had her own motives.

She knew that Chen Mu probably didn’t rest well last night. By keeping the live broadcast camera a bit further away, Chen Mu also had plenty of time to rest for a while longer.

This way of doing the live stream.

Even Su Bingbing wasn’t sure how long she could sustain it.

But she wanted to fight for a bit more time for her partner.

That’s what she ought to do.

After walking several hundred meters, Su Bingbing saw many frail university students turning their heads in one direction of the queue.

An experienced reporter like Su Bingbing immediately sensed there might be something to pique her curiosity within.

She quickly walked closer in that direction.

That’s when she saw, among a bunch of queuing frail university students.

There was actually an elderly man, leaning on a cane, with graying hair.

Seeing this person.

Su Bingbing was genuinely a bit shocked, "Old man, who are you?"

"If you have physical issues, at your age, you’re exempt from queuing."

"I can take you straight to Hai City University’s clinic."

Although Su Bingbing had a microphone clipped to her collar, there was still some distance between her and the cameraperson following her.

This was why.

The queuing old man didn’t immediately recognize that Su Bingbing was the host of this program.

After hearing Su Bingbing’s sincere suggestion.

The old man not only didn’t appreciate it but even waved his hand impatiently, "No need, no need, I’m here slowly queuing so I can try my luck. If you take me straight to the front, wouldn’t I be found out?"

"I know you’re a good-hearted young girl, but I’ll pass, no need!"

Su Bingbing was genuinely dumbfounded by his response.

She instinctively responded, "Found out about what?"

The old man looked around.

Not seeing any figures in white coats.

He then proudly said, "Young girl, guess how old I am this year?"

Even though.

Su Bingbing could tell at a glance that the old man in front of her was quite old.

She chose a number older folks would like, "I’d guess around sixty?"

"Oh, no way!"

Su Bingbing’s guess of sixty made the old man’s face split into a grin, "I’m eighty-three this year!"

Su Bingbing: "You can’t tell at all; you look so young."

Hearing things he loved to hear.

The old man was willing to share a few words with this young person, "Young girl, you seem to have just arrived. You probably don’t know why people are queuing at Hai City University, do you?"

Su Bingbing honestly nodded, "I know a bit."

The old man was nonchalant, "But I see you’re not in line; you definitely don’t know as much as I do. I heard that Hai City University has free traditional medicine, which can help improve memory and concentration."

Su Bingbing seemed to understand: "You’re not a retired employee of Hai City University?"

Old man: "Of course not! I have nothing to do with Hai City University!"

"I’m just a retired old man living nearby. If I had that status of being a retired university employee, at my age, the school should at least let me cut the line."

Su Bingbing: "..."

What you’re saying makes so much sense.

The female host, usually eloquent in front of the camera, was at this moment left speechless by the old man.

After organizing her thoughts, she finally spoke, "Old man, I know a bit about Hai City University’s clinic. It only treats the university’s students, or its staff and their families."

"You..."

Seeing the old man’s unchanged mood, Su Bingbing gathered the courage to continue speaking.

"Since you have no relations with Hai City University, even if it’s your turn, the university’s clinic doesn’t serve you."

Just when Su Bingbing thought.

She had made herself clear.

The old man should leave the queue in front of the school clinic.

But she saw.

The old man nodded confidently and said, "Miss, I already know all of that!"

You know?!

Su Bingbing looked at the old man incredulously, "Since you know, why waste your time here?"

Looking completely justified, the old man replied, "I’m hoping with so many intern doctors here, none would recognize who’s actually from Hai City University. With them being so busy, they might not check each person’s ’student ID.’ Maybe I can sneak in!"

"At my age, though I don’t plan on college, my memory’s fading. When playing cards with Old Wang next door, I can’t remember the cards. I really need some traditional medicine to help with that."

Su Bingbing: "..."

Not bothering with the old man further.

After this revelation, she walked the path back.

What caught Su Bingbing by surprise was.

Along this path.

She saw many who didn’t look like frail university students.

Every time she met someone like this, Su Bingbing would proactively inquire about their relations with Hai City University.

Almost without exception.

Those who recognized her covered their faces to avoid being filmed.

Those who didn’t recognize her treated her as a curious onlooker and answered.

And their intentions.

Were almost the same as the previous old man.

To try their luck at Hai City University.

Just in case.

The many intern doctors at Hai City University, faced with so many patients, didn’t get time to check their "student IDs," they wouldn’t miss a chance to get free traditional medicine treatment?

—

"Dr. Benzhong is amusedly angry. During public traditional medicine consultations, there are no patients, but suddenly they all run to Hai City University for ’free perks’?"

"So the traditional medicine consultations are real? I was afraid they’d try to sell me health supplements, so I didn’t dare go!!!"

"What legitimate traditional medicine doctor would sell health supplements...?"

"Really infuriating, when will people finally distinguish between traditional medicine and con artists?"

"Simple logic: those with a license are traditional medicine doctors, those without are con artists. Even at a free consultation, you can ask to see their medical license!"

"No wonder today’s queue seems so terrifying, not only people associated with Hai City University, but even numerous outsiders are joining the fray..."

"Such a massive workload, although it doesn’t concern me, just watching it feels suffocating enough, I empathize with these intern doctors."

"When Dr. Chen wakes up, the sky might as well have fallen!"

"..."

—

Initially.

Some of the people Su Bingbing interviewed.

Were somewhat embarrassed about wanting to take advantage of Hai City University’s benefits.

However...

Some people she interviewed later.

Those wearing masks.

Speaking so brazenly in front of the camera, it made Su Bingbing shudder.

"I’m already here, what’s wrong with having Hai City University’s intern doctors check on me?!"

"Aren’t they in need of patients? At least I’m not charging them back."

"Why should such benefits only be available to Hai City University students, is it discrimination against those who couldn’t get in?"

"Even though I’m not from Hai City University, I also don’t trust those intern doctors. I want Chen Mu himself to check me."

"Chen Mu resting means he can’t see patients? Why, he worked overtime yesterday, why can’t he today just because I’m not from Hai City University?"
