University Doctor and His Fragile Patients-Chapter 168 - 163: Ginseng Chicken Soup—The Ginseng Was Picked from Our School’s Shrubbery! (Double-Length)
"His grandma served polygonum multiflorum chicken soup at the banquet, sending the whole village to the hospital."
"That's the news I got from a fellow student, but the accuracy still needs to be verified by you, Vice Principal Zheng."
"Apparently, her story is already trending on major social media platforms and in social news."
At this point,
Chen Mu suddenly felt something was amiss.
Given Vice Principal Zheng's character, he would typically express his opinion in such situations.
However,
up to now,
Vice Principal Zheng hadn't reacted at all?!
Thinking this,
Chen Mu's breathing became heavy, "Vice Principal Zheng, can you hear me?"
"Vice Principal Zheng, are you alright?"
—
「Vice Principal Zheng: Is it too late to say I'm not okay now? I really don't want to face this news."]
「If I had known, I would have turned off my phone this morning, and Vice Principal Zheng wouldn't have answered Chen Mu's call."]
「Vice Principal Zheng: I used to think the damage of Hai City University was confined to the campus. I didn't expect it to extend to students' home villages."]
「Vice Principal Zheng: I'm going numb, don't cue me."]
「With so many people joking on the barrage, is there not one person truly worried about Vice Principal Zheng? He hasn't returned any calls, could something have happened to him too?"
「No way, right? Last time the principal fainted, you could hear the sound of something heavy falling. There's no strange noise from Vice Principal Zheng's side?"
「...」
—
After calling several times,
there was still no sound from the other end of the phone.
Su Bingbing, who had been concerned and paying attention from the front row, couldn't help but ask anxiously, "Dr. Chen, do you need me to help contact the emergency center?"
Chen Mu gently shook his head.
He gave Su Bingbing a look that said, "No need to worry for now."
Staring pensively at the phone in his hand, "Vice Principal Zheng actually fainted. I think I have Zheng Xin's mother's phone number. Maybe I should quickly contact Vice Principal Zheng's wife."
Just as Chen Mu finished speaking,
Vice Principal Zheng's voice came from the phone.
"Little Chen, I'm fine."
"I was just trying to simulate the state of the principal's coma, but I couldn't succeed..."
"That's why he's the principal and I'm just a vice principal! Haha..."
As he looked at the dormitory building drawing closer,
Chen Mu fixed his gaze on the nearby dorm building, "Vice Principal Zheng, I hope you can later arrange for someone to clear the polygonum multiflorum in the school shrubs."
"I don't want to receive any more patients related to polygonum multiflorum today."
Vice Principal Zheng: "Okay, okay."
Chen Mu: "Most importantly, the school regulations need to be changed too!"
Vice Principal Zheng: "I've already instructed someone to update the latest version of the school regulations. By three o'clock this afternoon at the latest, all faculty and students of Hai City University will receive the electronic version of the revised school regulations..."
The school ambulance stopped.
Chen Mu hung up the phone.
With one hand carrying a stretcher, he quickly rushed into the dormitory building.
Su Bingbing, carrying Chen Mu's medical kit, swiftly followed behind, running.
Behind them were a few graduate students from Hai City University of Traditional Medicine.
Their speed was in no way inferior to Chen Mu and Su Bingbing.
—
「Hiss! Even though it's a rescue scene, do all of you med students run this fast?"
「In just a few seconds you'd charge up a floor, even the girls didn't lag behind, this speed is astonishing."
「I'm a med student, let me answer that. Although the school doesn't require us to go to the gym, many people in our med school consciously exercise."}
「Mainly because, in the first class of university, the teacher told us that studying medicine is racing against death! I always believe that as long as I can run a little faster, the probability of saving patients increases!"
「I live next to a doctor. I never understood why he insists on running during his rare breaks despite being so busy at work, but now I do..."
「Help! Honey! My eyes seem to be crying!"
「...」
—
"Dr. Chen, we just discussed it in the car's WeChat group."
"These students fell unconscious from mistakenly consuming polygonum multiflorum. In the short term, our best approach is to try inducing vomiting."
"If we succeed, at least these students can regain consciousness, buying us some time for the rescue."
Mu Yao was the fastest runner.
By the second floor, she had already caught up with Chen Mu and Su Bingbing. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Chen Mu's pace didn't slow at all, "I approve your rescue plan, but if you're unsure about the acupuncture points, come to me for help. Don't blindly insert needles."
Mu Yao: "Okay, Dr. Chen, I will relay your thoughts."
Chen Mu's medical team barely reached the fifth floor.
And they saw a male student standing at the stairway waiting for them.
When he saw Chen Mu, the male student got excited, waved to Chen Mu and the group, and quickly ran in a direction, "Dr. Chen, follow me, the patients are over here!"
Once they really saw the six patients,
even though Chen Mu had been at the school hospital for two years, he was still shocked by the students' actions.
The six patients,
without exception,
had all been moved by enthusiastic students to the dormitory hallway.
They lay there,
waiting for the doctors to arrive.
Chen Mu quickly squatted down beside a patient.
He began checking the patient's condition.
The few graduate students from Hai City University of Traditional Medicine, upon seeing the patients, were not hesitant either.
Each found a patient,
quickly starting to check their conditions.
"If any issues happened while you were moving these patients,"
"you might be held responsible. How dare you move them?"
"Reporter Su, could you please prepare some cotton balls and tweezers for us?"
"And to the other watching students, if anyone has a trash can, could you lend it to us?"
"We need one trash can per doctor."
"It should be an empty-ish trash can without a trash bag, please don't bring ones that are full or about to overflow!"
Chen Mu saw a male student walking toward them with a completely full trash can surrounded by flies.
While complaining, Chen Mu took the pulse of the patient,
finding that the patient he was responsible for was quite lucky.
They hadn't run into major issues yet, just some nerve paralysis.
He gently supported the patient, then pinched the silver needle, starting to stimulate the patient's acupoints.
Visibly to the naked eye,
the unconscious patient's eyes didn't open, but their breathing became significantly faster.
The male student who initially led Chen Mu and the others over,
after having collected a few trash cans,
confirmed they met the requirements and began placing them beside each doctor.
When he got to Chen Mu, he still wore a cheeky smile, "Dr. Chen, how could modern university students not protect themselves?"
"Before they started moving the patients, the students had already googled it."
"In their condition, it's safe to move them."
Chen Mu: "..."
Are you all actually being cautious?
The male student cheerily pointed in a direction for Chen Mu to see, "More importantly, the surveillance in this hallway is broken. If the parents really cause trouble and try to find someone to take the blame, they won't be able to identify who helped."
"Dr. Chen, no need to thank us."
"Real good deeds are done without leaving a name; that's what we modern university students are all about."
Listening to the chatter beside him,
Chen Mu could guess.
This must be the student who called the ambulance for the patients.
Just as chatty as on the phone.
Chen Mu ignored the male student, picked up a new silver needle, and once again inserted it into the patient.
"Uh-uh..."
The patient made a couple of coughs, showing signs of regaining consciousness.
Su Bingbing put on a pair of disposable gloves.
Ready to clean inside the patient's mouth at any time.
"Dr. Chen, let me tell you, we're even more cautious than that!"
"When moving them, we even wore disposable gloves so there'd be no fingerprint evidence!"
"Aren't we smart and..."
The male student was still chattering next to Chen Mu.
Suddenly,
his phone rang.
Upon seeing the incoming call reminder, the male student walked away happily.
Not long afterwards,
the male student returned with red eyes.
He stormed over, grabbing the collar of the patient Chen Mu just saved, who was now vomiting over a trash can.
"You idiot! Are you freaking sick?"
"You wouldn't even let me have a sip of that chicken soup!"
"Yet you went and gave my girlfriend a whole bucket of soup?"
"If anything happens to my girlfriend, I'm going to fight you to the death!"
