University Doctor and His Fragile Patients
Chapter 500 - 410: Moral Blackmail—That’s Something I Can’t Do!
He Xiaohe is a breast cancer patient.
After Western medicine declared there was no hope for her.
Through the introduction of a neighbor in her community, she began seeing an old Chinese doctor.
It was also from that time.
She realized the wonders of Chinese medicine.
After seeing her medical records, the old Chinese doctor straightforwardly told her that her type of cancer was beyond his ability to cure.
At that moment...
Listening to the old Chinese doctor’s words.
He Xiaohe felt an unprecedented sense of despair.
She felt utterly doomed.
She thought there was no need to seek medical advice anymore; she might as well set a burial plot for herself.
But then the old Chinese doctor suddenly said to her.
Although he couldn’t cure her breast cancer.
But...
He could allow her to live like a normal person.
Was he joking?
Did he think it’s easier to deceive someone on the brink of death?
This was He Xiaohe’s initial reaction after hearing the old Chinese doctor’s words.
But soon.
He Xiaohe thought again.
If she was nearing death.
Having someone willing to deceive her wouldn’t be such a bad thing, would it?
That casual mindset, unexpectedly, saved her life.
She quit her job.
Sold a house, and devoted herself to strictly following the regimen and dietary recommendations given by the old Chinese doctor.
Her daily dose of Chinese herbal medicine.
She wasn’t even bothered by the hassle, opting to brew the medicine herself.
And just like that...
Ten years passed by.
She was still alive.
But just two days ago, she received a funeral invitation.
The old Chinese doctor.
Had passed away...
He Xiaohe attended the old Chinese doctor’s funeral.
Gave a hefty mourning envelope to his children.
Many of the old Chinese doctor’s former patients did the same.
But after leaving the funeral venue.
In these past two days.
He Xiaohe lived in a daze.
She sought out several famous local Chinese medicine practitioners.
After looking at the prescriptions the old Chinese doctor used to give her.
He Xiaohe felt that her life was over.
Her journey had come to an end.
It was time to prepare for her own burial plot.
But then yesterday.
While grocery shopping, she overheard many young people discussing.
There’s an incredibly skilled Chinese doctor doing live streaming.
Could it be that all young Chinese doctors are this great?
If she hadn’t gone to college already, she would’ve wanted to pursue Chinese medicine.
The old Chinese doctor couldn’t popularize Chinese medicine before he passed away.
Convincing more people to recognize and trust Chinese medicine.
Have other young people achieved this?
Hearing such remarks.
He Xiaohe felt an unprecedented delight.
She thought.
Even if she was dying, at least she could convey this good news to the old Chinese doctor.
With that in mind.
He Xiaohe proactively approached the two young people who were discussing it.
From their mouths, she learned.
They were watching an online live streaming variety show, "Each Month Takes You into a Profession".
After returning home.
He Xiaohe opened the live stream of the show "Each Month Takes You into a Profession".
Initially just wanting to see.
How the Dr. Chen, mentioned by the two young people, was promoting Chinese medicine.
But after a day of watching.
Even He Xiaohe couldn’t help but marvel.
This Dr. Chen truly had skills.
But at this very moment...
On the live stream’s bullet comments.
Those comments inquiring about Dr. Chen’s father’s whereabouts made He Xiaohe’s thoughts.
Unconsciously wander.
The fact that someone could teach young doctors like Dr. Chen means their own abilities were perhaps on par with the old Chinese doctor who used to treat her.
Possibly even.
Stronger!
Just thinking about it.
He Xiaohe’s brain became involuntarily excited.
It seemed like.
From watching a variety show, she found hope in life!
Thinking this way!
He Xiaohe’s entire disposition unexpectedly became excited.
She quickly bought herself a plane ticket to Hai City and started packing her luggage.

"What, want to see my father for treatment?"
The man with the cap began, and it made Chen Mu helpless.
It’s not that Chen Mu was super smart.
But he had faced this kind of remark too many times before.
Though his medical skills now seemed impressive to many.
There were still too many lives he couldn’t save in this world.
Regarding this matter.
Chen Mu also felt quite powerless.
And each time.
Chen Mu would apologetically say.
To the patient or the patient’s family, that he might not be able to help.
The patient’s family.
Usually began to actively inquire.
Asking things like.
May I ask whom Dr. Chen learned from?
Initially, when encountering this situation.
To try securing a ray of hope for the patient.
Chen Mu would naively provide the elderly man’s previous hospital consultation hours and appointment method to the patients.
But as the instances increased.
The elderly man began calling him.
He would start yelling at him over the phone.
As an old Chinese doctor with a name in the Imperial Capital.
The elderly man’s patients were already overwhelmingly numerous.
And those patients referred by Chen Mu would say they were introduced by him.
Waiting at the door of the elderly man’s consultation room.
Asking him to give them an extra appointment out of respect for Chen Mu.
Before the elderly man said anything.
Chen Mu really didn’t expect.
His good intentions would spark such an incident.
Since then.
Chen Mu never again introduced the elderly man to any patient.
If a patient’s situation was truly dire.
Chen Mu would merely send the patient’s medical records and contact information to the elderly man’s email.
The decision.
Was left in the hands of the elderly man.
After all.
Even if he didn’t take on the patients referred by Chen Mu.
The elderly man spent his life treating and saving people. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
"Originally, yes..."
The man with the cap also realized his words could be problematic.
And instinctively.
Wanted to retract his remark.
Unexpectedly.
Chen Mu handed over his WeChat QR code to him.
Under the puzzled gaze of the man with the cap.
Chen Mu calmly said, "This is my personal contact information. If you ever have any needs, you can send the medical records to me."
"If I can find a doctor who can help you solve the problem, I will introduce them. But if..."
The man with the cap smiled and scanned Chen Mu’s WeChat QR code: "But if Dr. Chen’s answer is negative, I won’t disturb him further."
"Nonetheless..."
The man with the cap stroked his chin, seriously saying, "I truly hope I never have to seek Dr. Chen’s help."
Ordinary illnesses.
In the hospital.
Most doctors can help treat those.
But if it’s not an ordinary illness.
Most likely.
Most doctors would issue a death sentence for it.
He wasn’t worrying about himself.
He simply wanted to leave a ray of hope for a comrade he once had.
He wasn’t cursing his comrade.
But the nature of his work was genuinely too dangerous.
Chen Mu was still pondering.
When sounds suddenly came from the man’s earpiece.
The man with the cap looked at Chen Mu in shock: "Dr. Chen, the suspect, who is the patient’s husband, just suddenly collapsed!"
