University Doctor and His Fragile Patients-Chapter 257 - 223: Leukemia—Can You Really Treat It with Acupuncture?

Chen Mu frowned.

He thought back carefully.

He Congming's running posture just now.

Looked just like an average person, so there shouldn't be any issue with his foot.

As Chen Mu was pondering this,

a stinky foot almost ended up in his mouth.

"Damn!"

Chen Mu frowned and leaped back quickly.

After narrowly avoiding He Congming's biochemical weapon,

Chen Mu swiftly pulled a disposable medical mask out of his pocket and put it on.

Standing not far away, Su Bingbing saw this scene and silently took out her own ready mask.

She also put it on.

Hiss!

When Da Congming took off his shoes,

why did it smell like old pickled sauerkraut?

After putting on the mask, Chen Mu felt like he could breathe again.

But looking at He Congming, Chen Mu felt like he was looking at a ticking time bomb, "If you're sick, just tell me directly, don't do anything drastic!"

Being scolded by Chen Mu a couple of times,

He Congming felt wronged like never before.

He looked at Chen Mu in front of him with puppy eyes.

Chen Mu felt that with He Congming's current expression,

this guy might do something drastic again.

After a moment of feeling wronged alone,

He Congming raised his foot again.

He Congming: "Dr. Chen, I wanted you to see if the little toe on my foot is broken..."

A toe fracture?

Hearing this, Chen Mu focused his gaze.

Wow!

Not to mention!

Da Congming could diagnose himself pretty well.

Chen Mu turned around.

Heading towards the school clinic, "Follow me, I'll set your toe for you."

"But..."

Chen Mu couldn't help but glance at He Congming.

Then.

He asked a question he had kept deep in his heart for a long time.

"He Congming, I can't figure out how you managed to break your toe."

How do you come up with something new every day?!

Feeling a bit down, He Congming followed Chen Mu. Once inside the school clinic, he sat comfortably on the examination bed.

Chen Mu went to look for his disposable medical gloves.

Upon entering the school clinic,

he saw the empty medical cabinet where he stored his things.

Chen Mu instantly felt something was off.

What on earth happened at the school clinic last night?

He opened the storage room next door, took out the inventory, and organized it neatly.

Seeing that Chen Mu was busy, He Congming did not rush Chen Mu to set his toe.

He just lowered his head: "Dr. Chen, last night He Zhiwen was diagnosed at the hospital with a lung infection."

Chen Mu glanced at him and asked, "I mentioned before that He Zhiwen had a risk of leukemia, what did the test results show?"

He Congming covered his face: "He Zhiwen temporarily doesn't have leukemia, but last night, weren't his three roommates sent to the hospital for checks at your suggestion, Dr. Chen?"

"After the check, two roommates were healthy, one was diagnosed with leukemia."

Chen Mu's actions froze.

He Congming: "Yesterday, when Secretary Lu sent those people for checks, I happened to be there."

"Apart from He Zhiwen's dorm, three more cases of leukemia were found."

"I heard Secretary Lu muttering to herself, saying that the school has a big problem this time!"

He Congming sat there, sharing his experiences of last night with Chen Mu.

—

"So according to He Congming, those students' parents might cause trouble for the school because of their sick children?"

"Even though they renovated themselves, which violates school rules, since the renovation lasted so long without detection, the school is responsible."

"The lawyer is here to explain the law. If parents seek legal action, they can indeed succeed."

"Yes, at the very least, they can get their children's medical expenses from the school."

"???"

"They can really do that. Hai City University is unlucky to have these weak students."

"I don't even know who to feel sorry for first now."

"Unlucky parents of unlucky kids, and an even unluckier university than the unlucky parents, this is ridiculous..."

"..."

—

Four cases of leukemia in total.

Hearing He Congming's words, Chen Mu grew even more silent.

This time, the school might not just face financial compensation.

The student advisors and the teachers responsible for dorm inspections,

might have to resign because of these four leukemia students.

No...

One could say...

Resigning might actually be the best outcome for them.

If the parents of the students are a bit difficult, it might even be possible that due to extreme anger,

they directly file a lawsuit against these people in court.

Chen Mu sighed.

That's also why, for every student who comes to the university hospital for treatment,

regarding the students' conditions,

he never turns a blind eye.

As long as it's not a minor issue like a fever or a cold, he always informs the student's advisor, asking them to directly contact the student's parents.

You speak kindly to the students.

You make all sorts of compromises, but once, at the end,

the student goes overboard!

Like this time, with these four leukemia patients, in the end, it's really not just an apology in front of the student's parents that can solve the problem.

"Dr. Chen, actually the reason I'm here, besides my toe, is that I have a task."

"The parent of He Zhiwen's roommate, who has leukemia, asked me to talk to you."

"They saw some rumors about you online, many people say you are a very formidable doctor."

Chen Mu: "???"

I don't know why.

In this situation,

when He Congming opened his mouth and said he was a very impressive doctor,

a nerve in his mind suddenly tightened.

He always feels that, after saying this, He Congming might say something extraordinary.

He Congming: "They asked me to help inquire, with Dr. Chen being so amazing, could you cure his son's leukemia with acupuncture?"

Chen Mu: "???"

His mind blanked for a moment.

Chen Mu looked at the brilliant He Congming in front of him with a complicated expression, "Student He Congming, there are some things, maybe I didn't hear clearly just now..."

"How about, you say it again."

"What illness did the parent in your words ask me to use acupuncture for?"

He Congming boldly: "Leukemia! Isn't it leukemia that his son has? Naturally, he couldn't be asking about any other disease!"

Chen Mu: "???"

—

"Hahahaha!!! On the podium, our school's old professor was dumbfounded, laughed me to death!!!"

"Our professor is also dumbfounded, said in all his years of practicing, it's the first time he's heard such an unreasonable request..."

"Our professor is different, said that treating leukemia with traditional Chinese medicine is actually his research topic, it's just that there has been no breakthrough yet..."

"Really, I could cry from laughter! Dr. Chen would rather suspect there's something wrong with his own ears, never expected that the student's parent would really ask such an absurd question."

"Even if the student's parent asked such an unreasonable question, isn't Da Congming, as the messenger, even more absurd, to pass on such words?"

"The fact proved that Da Congming is a reliable person, no matter how absurd the task you give him, he'll definitely get it done for you. Such people are trustworthy in life."

"???"

"In the comments, it's really, not short of logic geniuses, even such niche logic was found by you all!"

"..."

—

Chen Mu took a deep breath.

Thinking that the involved student's parent might also be watching the live broadcast at this moment.

If his attitude in front of the camera isn't good enough, it's possible he could also be

directly complained to the education bureau by the angry student parent.

He tried hard to squeeze out a relatively decent smile.

To make himself look more friendly and ready to answer the student's parent's questions.

Chen Mu: "Not to mention traditional Chinese medicine, leukemia is still considered an unsolved problem in the entire medical field."

"As of now, the best way is, when chemotherapy is needed, do chemotherapy, when a bone marrow transplant is needed, find a way to match a bone marrow."

"Currently, traditional Chinese medicine acupuncture still can't treat leukemia."

He Congming nodded, "I see, then I'll make it clear when I visit He Zhiwen today."

Chen Mu just breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he saw He Congming lift his head again, his gaze falling on him.

Chen Mu: "..."

Why does he have a bad feeling?

He Congming: "Dr. Chen, actually, that student's parent guessed that traditional Chinese medicine might not be able to cure leukemia either."

"So..."

"They told me, if you give an answer that it can't be cured, to ask you another question."

Chen Mu nodded helplessly: "Go ahead..."

He Congming: "If he recovers and is discharged later, can he go to the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital for follow-up recuperation?"

Chen Mu frowned as he looked at He Congming: "Isn't this all the student parent wants to ask?"

"Just say the original words directly. My mental endurance is quite good."

He still has a lot of work to do here.

No time to play this guessing game with He Congming.

It seems that He Congming also gave himself some psychological encouragement, took several deep breaths, and then spoke, "Dr. Chen, here are the original words..."

"Their kid had something go wrong at Hai City University, so Hai City University must be fully responsible for the kid."

As he spoke,

He Congming did not forget to sneak a look at Chen Mu's expression.

At this moment,

Chen Mu was already numb!

He knew...

After confirming Chen Mu didn't break down, He Congming continued, "So, subsequently finding a doctor for the kid and recuperating his body is something Hai City University should do."

"They also watched part of last night's live broadcast."

"They feel that Professor Liu Yao and Professor Zhang San from Hai City University of Traditional Medicine are quite skilled and suitable to treat their kid..."

He Congming: "They hope the school can be responsible for mediating and let the two professors do a year's worth of acupuncture for their kid."

Chen Mu: "???"

He Congming shrank his neck, quickly finishing the rest of the message, "They said if the school agrees to have the two professors look after their kid for a month and cover all medical expenses, they won't hold the school accountable."

Chen Mu: "???"
