University Doctor and His Fragile Patients-Chapter 423 - 348: Your Eating and Sleeping Habits Would Make King Yama Weep!
"Running a dungeon? 6666!!! You guys are really good at using adjectives! So vivid!"

Chen Mu, somewhat speechless, pulled away from the student who was gripping his hand tightly, "Hey, do you really need to be this worked up? Your condition probably isn’t as bad as you think."
"Your blood routine report—these folks didn’t look closely enough; they didn’t even consider the possibility of osteoporosis."
Osteoporosis?
Upon hearing this word, the frail university student involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was still an illness, compared to the diseases of his peers, he felt like his wasn’t a big deal.
If it wasn’t for the compound fracture, he really wouldn’t be able to stand up.
He could even get up and go back to military training now.
Chen Mu, after all, had been a campus physician at the university hospital for many years.
Just one look at the expression on the frail student’s face, and he knew what the other was thinking.
He was quite speechless, "So you think osteoporosis isn’t a big problem, right?"
The frail student was just about to nod.
But when he saw Chen Mu looking at him, he thought to himself, just nodding like this might feel a bit disrespectful to Dr. Chen.
He hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, no! Dr. Chen, you misunderstood me. I think osteoporosis is a very serious issue, and I will definitely pay attention to it in the future."
Chen Mu snorted coldly.
He pointed to the boy’s leg, "Does the fracture hurt?"
After seeing the boy nod, Chen Mu continued, "If your osteoporosis is not treated in time, such fractures will become habitual in the future."
Hearing Chen Mu’s words, the boy shivered involuntarily, still thinking Chen Mu was exaggerating, "It can’t be that serious..."
Chen Mu continued to snort coldly, "What? Just a mere fracture, and you think it’s not that serious? There are many aftereffects of osteoporosis, and fractures are just the mildest!"
"Have you ever seen those elderly people who can’t stand up straight and have to walk hunched over?"
Seeing the boy nod, Chen Mu continued, "That is spinal deformity, which is also one of the aftereffects of osteoporosis."
Thinking about himself in the future, being like those old grandmas who can never straighten their backs for the rest of their lives, the boy was already silent.
He didn’t dare to imagine it.
If his spine really got deformed at such a young age, how would he live then?
At the very least, most companies wouldn’t likely choose a new employee with visible health issues at first glance.
Seeing the boy’s expression, Chen Mu knew that his words had already sunk in.
After taking another look at him, Chen Mu continued, "Not being able to stand straight is just the smallest downside of spinal deformity."
"Once your spine deforms to the extent of malformation, like the example I just gave you, aside from deformity, it may also compress the heart, causing symptoms like palpitations, chest tightness, and shortness of breath..."
Seeing the other was already shivering, Chen Mu increased the intensity, "And once these aftereffects appear, your mortality rate will increase."
At this point, visibly to the naked eye, the frail university student’s face had turned much paler.
Pitifully, he looked at Chen Mu, "What else, Dr. Chen, are there any other possible aftereffects?"
"I know I underestimated osteoporosis before, please tell me more, I will definitely take it seriously."
Speaking, the frail university student clasped his hands together, making a pleading expression at Chen Mu.
—
"Ah... this..."
"I can understand Dr. Chen’s feelings, but scaring the patient like this, is it really okay?"
"How is this scaring him, sometimes the situation needs to be made more serious for the patient, otherwise, some patients’ self-harming abilities might far exceed your imagination..."
"If he really doesn’t take osteoporosis seriously, all those possibilities Dr. Chen just mentioned could become his future consequences, so looking at it this way, Dr. Chen isn’t really scaring him."
"If every patient could care about their illness, there wouldn’t be so many tragedies caused by patients not taking things seriously."
"Before, in the obstetrics department, there was a pregnant woman, her family said hospital check-ups were scams and didn’t let her come, it had been eleven months, and the baby hadn’t been born yet, came to the hospital, did an ultrasound, turned out the baby had been stillborn long ago..."
"..."
—
Knowing the other person had now taken his words to heart thoroughly, Chen Mu’s expression didn’t look bad at all.
He continued speaking, "More serious osteoporosis, aside from the spine, will also directly deform your bones."
"Bone deformation can directly compress your surrounding skin, even your blood vessels, breed bacteria, if your bones are very brittle, they might break during the deformation, and then, if you’re a bit unlucky..."
The frail university student was dumbfounded.
"The broken bone directly ruptures your blood vessel!"
The frail university student was in a stupor.
"Then you could be even more unlucky, with an arterial rupture..."
The frail university student was about to be scared to tears!
Sorrowfully clutching Chen Mu’s sleeve.
Pleadingly looking at Chen Mu, "Dr. Chen, I think as long as I actively treat it, I won’t be that unlucky."
"How about you just tell me how to treat my osteoporosis?"
Chen Mu, "You should first go to the hospital, the orthopedic doctors will tell you how to treat it, and then actively supplement calcium."
"Your current condition isn’t troublesome."
Listening to Chen Mu’s calm tone, the frail university student himself couldn’t smile at all, "If my situation wasn’t troublesome, then why did Dr. Chen make it sound so serious..."
Chen Mu glanced at the frail university student.
The frail university student withdrew his neck awkwardly, not daring to say anything.
Chen Mu found a stool and sat by the hospital bed.
Only then did he speak again, "Since you know now, your fragility is caused by osteoporosis, let’s discuss the reasons behind your osteoporosis."
The frail university student pressed his lips together.
Didn’t dare to speak.
Yet Chen Mu seemed oblivious to the guilty look on his face, "In the past few days, have you missed any military training?"
The frail university student shook his head repeatedly, "Dr. Chen, if you suspect that, then you’ve got the wrong idea. I start military training at eight every morning, and I’ve never been late!"
Chen Mu nodded thoughtfully, "Sleeping at four or five in the morning, starting training at eight, almost every day with this nightmarish schedule, and you’re only now checking in at the campus hospital, that’s pretty impressive."
The frail university student was greatly shocked.
For a moment.
He even suspected.
If Chen Mu had surveillance installed in his dormitory.
—
"Here it is, here it is! Traditional Chinese Medicine installed surveillance in my body series!"
"Let’s just say, classic projects never miss!"
"The expression on the frail university student’s face right now, was exactly mine the first time I saw a Chinese medicine doctor, he just put his hand on mine and knew I liked watching adult movies!"
"What adult movies! Could you share them, let everyone appreciate together!"
"Stroking my chin, to be honest, I’m a film critic, could you send the adult movie to me for a look?"
"Haha! Who isn’t a professional film critic!"
"How did this thread get so off track?" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
"..."

Facing the incredulous gaze of the frail university student, Chen Mu merely gave a light smile, then said, "These things were all told to me by your pulse, now tell me if what I just said is accurate or not."
As the frail university student nodded, various exclamations of surprise slowly emerged from the white coats surrounding them.
"Student, can I feel your pulse later? I want to learn what a pulse that stays up late looks like!"
"Student, I also want to learn, can I check your pulse again?"
"Student, can I take notes while checking your pulse? I promise this time, I won’t miss any suspicious clues!"
"Student..."
"Student..."
Hearing these voices behind him, Chen Mu felt it was getting noisy.
With some impatience, he raised his voice, "The pulse check isn’t over. Can your requests wait a bit?!"
