University Doctor and His Fragile Patients-Chapter 271 - 234: I Told You to Take Calcium, and You Ended Up with Kidney Stones?

"Uh..."

Listening to the boy's question.

Chen Mu fell into a brief silence.

He pointed to the stool in front of him, indicating that the boy could come in and sit down.

"How long have you been experiencing difficulty urinating and painful urination?"

The boy felt somewhat inexplicably guilty.

He didn't dare to meet Chen Mu's gaze and whispered, "About a month or so..."

Chen Mu: "..."

—

"Seriously, what's wrong with students at Hai City University? Why can't they go see a doctor earlier when they have physical issues?"

"Isn't it possible that they think it's a small issue, take some cold medicine, and assume it's fine?"

"They don't realize how many people queue at big hospitals every day, and not everyone has that much time!"

"It's understandable if working adults don't have time, but do university students also have no time?"

"Exactly! Given the current situation at Hai City University, if students say they need a leave to see a doctor, I don't believe any counselor would dare refuse?!"

"???"

"Students of Hai City University, sincerely thank the netizens on the stream for providing new leave ideas!"

"Hey you in front, which class are you from? Come register here, and I'll deduct your credits!"

"..."

—

Facing the boy's cautious demeanor.

Chen Mu took a deep breath to barely control his "little temper."

He looked at the boy helplessly, "If the painful urination continues for a month, you might find it unbearable..."

"Why didn't you come to see a doctor earlier?"

The boy lowered his head, "My living allowance is not very abundant..."

Chen Mu took a deep breath and nodded, "Okay, I accept that reason."

The boy had just breathed a sigh of relief.

When he heard Chen Mu speak again, "But..."

The boy suddenly looked up.

He stared at Chen Mu intently.

But?

In his experience, there's hardly ever anything nice after such a transition word.

Chen Mu looked at him coldly, "But what I don't quite understand is..."

"The broadcast has been quite popular, and it's unlikely that you only found out today that medical consultations are free at the university hospital, right?"

"Why didn't I see you at the university hospital in the past couple of days?"

Before Chen Mu could finish speaking,

he saw the expression on the boy's face visibly turn to grievance.

The boy looked at Chen Mu with an expression as if he was facing a wicked villain bullying the weak, "Heaven's honest truth! Dr. Chen, this is my third day queuing at the university hospital!"

Chen Mu was puzzled, "But I don't think I've seen you in the past couple of days?"

The boy, on the brink of tears, said, "Dr. Chen, have you not considered how long the queues were at the university hospital the past two days?"

Chen Mu: "..."

Boy: "The first day, when I found out that the university hospital offered free consultations, I got in line, but what happened then!"

"A long queue was snaking across the playground in front of the entire university hospital!"

"It was full of guys coming to see 'Aunt Flo.' Seeing no hope of getting through the line, I went back to my dorm to keep squatting in the bathroom."

As he spoke,

the boy even shed tears.

Conceding his mistake, Chen Mu silently handed a tissue to the boy.

The boy wiped his tears while sniffling.

Loudly complaining about how hard it was for him to get medical attention.

"Then came the second day..."

"I thought, I should come earlier, so I got up a little past six in the morning!"

"As it turned out!"

"There was again a long queue at the university hospital entrance!"

Chen Mu: "..."

The boy, utterly frustrated, wiped his tears, "Although it's hard for me to pee, I have frequent urination!"

"After queuing for a short while, I need to go to the toilet, and when I return, people say I'm cutting in line, so I have to start queuing from the beginning!"

"Yesterday, I spent the whole day queuing on and off at the university hospital entrance, and by the time Dr. Chen, you were off work and gone, I still hadn't seen a doctor."

Chen Mu awkwardly rubbed his nose and muttered under his breath, "I just finished work, I didn't run away..."

However,

under the boy's method of queuing,

he had to start queuing all over again soon!

It was indeed...

pretty tough...

—

"Hilarious! So many patients at the university hospital, it's the first time I've seen one patient make Dr. Chen concede!"

"Men don't easily cry, unless they can't pee!"

"Honestly, if he has this urination issue for a long time, it could pose a problem for his bladder too."

"Can't afford the big hospital, can't even queue at the university hospital!"

"Dr. Chen, quickly see the kid, he's been wronged to tears! Hahaha!!!"

"..."

—

The boy was sobbing loudly in the university medical room.

Chen Mu was noticeably sheepish as he shoved tissues into the boy's hand.

When the boy's emotions calmed a little,

he started complaining again about his experiences at the university hospital over the past two days.

"I've already had it tough, and Dr. Chen, you still criticize me for not being proactive about medical attention..."

Chen Mu looked a bit embarrassed.

But the intern doctors watching on the side still didn't quite understand his grievance.

Someone quietly complained, "But the university hospital has clearly informed the students that for urgent or severe cases, they don't need to queue..."

"In your situation, if you communicated with the students outside..."

Before he finished speaking,

the boy interrupted emotionally, "Doctor, are you sure my situation counted as urgent or severe at the university hospital during the past two days?"

White coats: "???"

Boy: "Did you not know what was going on at the university hospital yesterday?"

"It's either straight to the ICU or those with a two-year fever; even if I wanted to cut in line, the students outside would say I looked pretty healthy..."
