University Doctor and His Fragile Patients

Chapter 730: Chapter 538: I Want to Get Sick So I Can Take a Week Off!

Upon hearing the crispy college student’s words,

for a moment,

Chen Mu’s smile grew wider: "Dr. Mu, your medical skills must be quite excellent to have repeat patients so soon!"

Before Mu Yao could speak,

the crispy college student lying on the bed cheerfully continued, "Dr. Chen, among all the intern doctors at our school right now, I have to especially praise Dr. Mu!"

Chen Mu raised an eyebrow, "Oh?"

Crispy College Student: "I came here because of hypertension, hyperglycemia, and hyperlipidemia, which have caused me recent issues with sleep and breathing. Nearly every intern suggested prescribing traditional Chinese medicine for me."

"But to be honest, when it comes to medication, I prefer Western medicine."

"Chinese patent medicine tablets are okay, but I really don’t want to drink Chinese herbal liquid."

Chen Mu nodded: "You’re not the only one. Many patients have also mentioned this issue; it doesn’t taste good..."

Seeing the crispy college student nodding pitifully,

Chen Mu sighed as well: "I really can’t argue with that. Even I, a student of traditional Chinese medicine, have to mentally prepare myself when self-prescribing Chinese medicine when I’m sick."

Mu Yao also raised her hand, "Me too!"

Crispy College Student: "So I showed them a science video I recently saw online. It said traditional Chinese medicine could use acupuncture to treat those three high conditions. After seeing it, the intern doctors just became silent..."

"Well, not completely silent; they politely declined."

"They all said that it could indeed treat the conditions, but they weren’t confident enough and were afraid of hurting me with needles!"

"I thought I would have to disturb you, Dr. Chen, but just then, Dr. Mu stepped up and said she could give it a try!"

"It’s not that I’m unwilling to be a guinea pig, but I need at least one intern who’s willing to try!"

-

"To be honest, although Dr. Mu is a woman, she’s always the first to step up whenever the intern doctors encounter a problem."

"It’s mainly because she’s more confident than the other interns and more well-rounded."

"Honestly, to be considered a top student at the medical school, no one can afford to mess up. I truly trust Mu Yao’s professional ability."

"I once applied to a top-tier hospital with the top student in our year, and during the suturing exam, the examiner mentioned that some doctors who have already started operating don’t even have hands as steady as his."

"Every industry has its prodigies."

"For a surgeon, having steady hands is a real gift. At least Parkinson’s patients can still diagnose, but they can’t stand on the operating table."

"Saying someone with Parkinson’s can operate is pushing it!"

"There’s nothing exaggerated about it; it’s a true story. In our year, there was a genius surgical prospect, the apple of our mentor’s eye, but in his graduation year, he suddenly developed Parkinson’s. Now he’s transitioned to internal medicine, but every time I see him at the hospital, I can’t help but feel a sense of regret, as if witnessing the fall of a genius..."

"We might be from the same year? He was a genius in surgery, but in internal medicine, he’s just an average doctor, alas... fate is cruel..."

"..."

-

As soon as the crispy college student started talking,

he hardly paused at all.

Just listening to his words, Mu Yao couldn’t help but defend her fellow schoolmates with a word or two, "Actually, each traditional Chinese medicine practitioner has slightly different focuses. It’s possible that among this group of interns, I have focused more on acupuncture. If you chose another treatment method, the school hospital might have an intern more suitable than me."

The crispy college student didn’t follow Mu Yao’s line of thought at all,

and without thinking, said, "No, no, no! Dr. Mu, you must not belittle yourself!"

"At least in my eyes, you’re the best among this batch of interns!"

Mu Yao opened her mouth, intending to say something more.

Yet in the end, she didn’t know how to continue.

Instead, Chen Mu chuckled and said, "You can say that kind of thing to Dr. Mu in private, but if there are others around, I suggest you be more discreet."

"If you encounter someone petty, wouldn’t your words just set Dr. Mu up for trouble?"

The crispy college student instantly felt awkward: "I think the group of interns who came to help at our school shouldn’t be petty..."

"After all, those volunteering to help should be good people..."

The crispy college student hurriedly tried to explain himself.

But listening to his anxious tone,

Chen Mu’s smile widened, "Alright, stop talking and don’t disrupt Dr. Mu’s acupuncture flow."

"I’m here to oversee things for you."

The crispy college student, who just managed to nod obediently,

in no time,

couldn’t help but look up at Chen Mu, eagerly, "Um... Dr. Chen..."

Chen Mu: "Hmm?"

Crispy College Student: "Since you’re already here..."

Chen Mu: "..."

-

"Hahahahaha!!!! So funny, the classic line, ’since you’re already here.’

"If I were the one lying there, I’d probably react the same way. It’s not that I want to trouble Dr. Chen if he hadn’t shown up, but since he’s here..."

"Though Dr. Mu’s treatment is quite good, who wouldn’t want a more skilled doctor to treat them if they could?"

"I’m more concerned about his underlying condition than who treats him. So young and not overweight, why would someone his age have those three high conditions!"
