University Doctor and His Fragile Patients-Chapter 246 - 217: Heart Failure Cannot Be Ruled Out!

Zhou Qiqi stepped back.

He asked Dr. Pang, "Director Pang, the place we're going for the exam, it's different from where the other patients in the emergency room are, right?"

"Should you write down every item and its location for us?"

Zhou Qiqi hadn't finished speaking.

Pang Youyu shook his head, "No need, Chen Mu is very familiar with this place!"

Seeing Chen Mu suddenly stiffen a bit.

And the filming camera always following Chen Mu.

Pang Youyu belatedly realized he might have misspoken.

Zhou Qiqi looked at Chen Mu, then at Pang Youyu, "Were Dr. Chen and Dr. Pang previously..."

Realizing it was an appropriate moment.

Su Bingbing seized the opportunity and ran to Pang Youyu's side, asking, "Hello, Dr. Pang, I'm a friend of the patient, I have a few questions for you, may I?"

Pang Youyu nodded, "Make it quick, I need to do my rounds soon."

Su Bingbing nodded, "I just want to ask, can Che Liang directly go to the inpatient department, or is it because you'll personally oversee it related to our recording of the show?"

Pang Youyu nodded, "It's somewhat related..."

Su Bingbing: "Is it because the hospital also wants to promote itself using the show's popularity?"

Su Bingbing knew herself that such a question sounded foolish.

But these were the exact questions that those nitpickers in the live broadcast room kept harping on.

To quickly address public opinion, the best method is to confront it head-on!

Su Bingbing had previously shadowed doctors in the hospital for a period.

She trusted the professional ethics of doctors.

Pang Youyu was taken aback.

Having been in the medical profession for so many years, he'd never heard such an absurd question.

Pang Youyu looked at Su Bingbing as if looking at a fool.

"Friend of the patient, I'm not sure exactly what your question intends to express..."

"No one wants new patients in the hospital more than doctors."

"Those in need will naturally come to the hospital. For those who don't need, why should we promote illness?"

Su Bingbing blinked.

This doctor's answer was what she wanted.

Riding on the momentum, Su Bingbing continued to ask, "But if it's not because we're recording a show, would the hospital make available the examinations that the emergency room doesn't have?"

Pang Youyu was speechless.

He pointed towards Che Liang, "If you're like this guy, suffering both from Behçet's disease and lung infection,"

"Not to mention allowing you access to exams not available in the ER, I'd wake a chief physician from sleep for it..."

"Don't think we keep you out of the ER just because you have a famous show?"

"It's because the cameras behind you disrupt the normal operation of the ER, and you really think you're something special!"

"Hurry up and take the patient for treatment. If I knew the questions were so uncouth, I wouldn't waste my time here with you while doing rounds..."

Pang Youyu stormed out of his office in a huff.

As Su Bingbing left the office,

she saw the ladies who gathered at Dr. Pang's office door earlier, claiming they wanted to introduce their sons to her.

Without exception,

they all cast accusing glances at Su Bingbing.

Su Bingbing: "???"

While walking towards the elevator, she occasionally heard them discussing.

"The young girl looks good, but turns out she's a bit slow."

"Probably an influencer, asking such brainless questions just for some attention."

"Their lousy show already caused trouble for the hospital, yet they think they're special!"

"The hospital doesn't even have enough beds right now. A patient who came in yesterday had to sleep in the hallway. Does this place need publicity? It's laughable."

Once in the elevator.

Su Bingbing lowered her head, feeling overwhelmed by the criticism.

Suddenly.

A finger hooked around a mask appeared in front of her.

She looked up.

It was Chen Mu with a smile in his eyes, "If you really feel embarrassed, why not put on a mask to ease it?"

Su Bingbing took it.

With the mask on, Su Bingbing thought.

In a place like a hospital, full of bacteria, it's perfectly normal for her to wear a mask while hosting a show here.

An hour later.

Chen Mu had received part of Che Liang's examination reports.

Che Liang was being wheeled by Ji Hao for other tests.

As Chen Mu reviewed the report, his brow gradually furrowed.

Just about to speak.

He noticed Zhou Qiqi beside him, looking eager.

Chen Mu handed a CT scan he'd finished to Zhou Qiqi.

"Can you make out the gist of it?"

At night, hospital corridors wouldn't have viewing machines.

However, Zhou Qiqi didn't mind.

She raised the CT scan high and examined it under the light.

Then said, "This is an enhanced aorta CT."

Chen Mu nodded, "What do you see?"

Zhou Qiqi: "Descending aorta dilation, wall thickening."

Chen Mu nodded, "Not bad."

"Look at this one."

With that,

Chen Mu handed over the next CT scan.

Upon seeing the contents, Zhou Qiqi's expression grew serious.

"This is still an enhanced aorta CT."

"Multiple aneurysmal expansions, stenosis of major subdivisions like the brachiocephalic artery and abdominal aorta."

Chen Mu sighed, "Based on this CT, can you recall from the consultation with Dr. Pang the recent symptoms Che Liang mentioned?"

Zhou Qiqi: "Reduced urine output recently?"

Chen Mu smiled and nodded, "Correct, now see the next CT."

—

"My god! Dr. Chen, aren't you supposed to take a rest? Please, stop the stream and go rest!"

"These CTs aren't mandatory viewing, I beg you Dr. Chen, don't look at them."

"What's up with the comments, why all of a sudden are there so many urging Dr. Chen to stop streaming?"

"His stream leaves no room for medical students; our professor suddenly said there's a pop quiz on reading CTs tomorrow."

"Our professor said too, apparently he has over a thousand CT scans stored and plans to have us each examine several dozen tomorrow..."

"Stream like you mean it, why burden medical students!"

"Isn't Zhou Qiqi more pitiful, she was just a regular companion for exams, now Dr. Chen has turned it into a live quiz..."

"Dr. Chen thinks it's only Zhou Qiqi being tested, but nationwide medical students now have to take a pop quiz tomorrow because of him. We've cursed, we've cried, now off to cram at the last minute..."

"I'm headed there too, brewing coffee, pulling an all-nighter today..."

"..."

—

Zhou Qiqi carefully examined the new CT scan: "This is a lung vessel enhanced CT."

Chen Mu nodded, "State your judgment."

Zhou Qiqi looked at it for a while, hesitantly speaking, "Is it an issue with the right pulmonary artery?"

Chen Mu snorted, "Are you asking me?"

"Would you give such an uncertain answer if you were facing a patient?"

"Review it again, a graduate student like you should be able to identify the problem in this scan."

At this moment,

to Zhou Qiqi, Chen Mu seemed like her strict mentor.

She shrank a little.

Daring not to be careless.

Picking up the CT again, this time her expression was noticeably more focused than before.

After a while.

She reached a conclusion: "Multiple occlusive lesions in the peripheral branches of the right pulmonary artery."

Having finished,

Zhou Qiqi nervously awaited Chen Mu's "verdict."

Her demeanor,

was no different from a child awaiting a teacher's grading of an exam paper.

Under Zhou Qiqi's expectant gaze,

Chen Mu nodded, "Correct."

Before Zhou Qiqi could relax,

the next CT was presented to her.

Holding the CT, Chen Mu said to Zhou Qiqi, "Continue!"

Zhou Qiqi, with a woeful expression, accepted the CT.

Zhou Qiqi: "Lung vessel enhanced CT."

"Multiple patchy and consolidated opacities in the lungs."

Chen Mu nodded, "Correct, based on your previous CT assessments, make a diagnosis."

Zhou Qiqi: "That requires considering the previous two chest films."

"The current conclusion is, bilateral lung infection, with a small amount of right pleural effusion."

Chen Mu frowned, "Is that the extent of your diagnosis?"

Zhou Qiqi pursed her lips, "I'm still uncertain about further diagnosis..."

Chen Mu: "It's not as if you're actually diagnosing a patient, consider it a pop quiz and state your judgment!"

Zhou Qiqi shrank her neck, her mind racing, "Based on the prior CTs, I suspect that Che Liang also has heart failure.

"The next step should involve treatment to manage Che Liang's heart failure and fight infections!"
