University Doctor and His Fragile Patients
Chapter 502 - 411: One Person Saves Two, Final Exam Question! (2-in-1!) (Part 2)
"You bunch of Chinese medicine students, what kind of charade are you playing together? Can’t you give us ordinary bystanders a hint of what’s going on?"
"How should I put it... Simply put, it’s basically..."
"Basically what?!"
"Basically, everything Dr. Chen just did, which looked fierce, might become our final exam questions. So, we have to record every scene, study every frame’s technique seriously, and analyze why Dr. Chen chose this acupuncture point, speculating the patient’s pulse..."
"I don’t understand Chinese medicine, but I can’t help but feel sorry for you guys..."
"..."
—
"Alright, get ready to move to the other vehicle."
Just as ’cap’ finished using an entire pack of new tissues to wipe off Chen Mu’s sweat.
Chen Mu finally withdrew his hand.
Gave this kind of response.
Upon hearing Chen Mu’s answer, ’cap’s eyes lit up instantly.
Without even time to sigh, he picked up the radio and started communicating with his colleagues in the other vehicle.
Originally.
When Chen Mu got off the car.
The ’cap’ who was closer to Chen Mu intended to get off with him.
To check on the patient in the other vehicle.
Unexpectedly.
As he just made a move to get up, Chen Mu reached out and held him down.
"Hmm?" ’cap’ felt a bit puzzled.
Looked up.
Only to see Chen Mu, a bit helpless, pointing at the patient in the car, continuing, "You’ve been observing for a while, you should have some insight into the patient’s condition."
"Watch for any worsening signs on the patient’s face color or breathing frequency and contact me promptly."
"No matter what, this patient’s condition might be more critical."
Seeing ’cap’ nod.
Only then did Chen Mu feel somewhat relieved to leave.
Turning around.
He boarded another police car.
"Dr. Chen, just like in the other car, if there’s any issue, feel free to ask us for help."
As soon as Chen Mu got in the car.
He was quickly placed in a seat by the eager ’caps.’
"Thank you."
After a simple thank you, Chen Mu didn’t waste time on pleasantries.
Instead.
Chen Mu just opened the partially used acupuncture kit.
Briefly explained to ’cap’ beside him how they could help disinfect the acupuncture needles.
Chen Mu began assessing the patient’s condition.
Taking the patient’s pulse.
Throughout Chen Mu’s busy process.
The patient’s son, handcuffed, stared blankly at Chen Mu.
Everything that happened today.
In this young man’s life, it could be considered a significant upheaval.
This young man.
In such a short time.
Watched both his parents fall unconscious from illness.
Even he himself.
Wearing "delicate silver bracelets," staying here.
Observing the crime suspect, who looked evidently dazed.
No one in the car said anything.
Given the situation at hand, the young man already faced enough of an emotional shock.
As long as the suspect doesn’t suddenly lash out, disrupting the rescue effort.
The interrogation can certainly wait until they are back at the station.
All the ’caps’ in the vehicle had a slightly different emotion towards the suspect, but didn’t react much.
Contrarily, it was Chen Mu administering acupuncture to the patient.
Who seemed to have eyes at the back of his head.
Suddenly turned around.
And gave the suspect a meaningful look, "Control your supposedly agitated feelings. If you faint again from excitement, I really won’t have time to save another person."
Suspect: "..."
Even with eyes already red.
He merely lifted his head silently.
Following what Chen Mu said, struggling to control his escalating emotions.
—
"Our Dr. Chen still knows how to talk, as always."
"Though not so pleasant, his words are indeed truthful."
"Can’t get more truthful than this, if another person collapses, the family might as well be playing some matching game in the police car."
"I can understand the young man’s feelings right now, but Dr. Chen hardly said anything wrong, did he?!"
"The real problem is there’s no apparent problem; just like this young man, deep down terribly grieving, yet instinctually following Dr. Chen’s words to control his emotions, preventing more collapse."
"Only us Chinese medicine students, taking notes seriously while watching."
"Ugh... Is Coptis chinensis bitter, or is my lack of a final exam more miserable..."
"..."
—
"Mild lung infection, emotional stagnation."
"Nothing too serious."
While holding the needle and applying acupuncture.
Chen Mu explained the patient’s condition to the ’caps’ beside him.
Of course.
Also explaining the condition of the suspect’s father.
"The lung infection is mainly due to the patient’s irregular lifestyle over the years and prolonged residence in a formaldehyde-laden environment."
"As for the emotional stagnation, it might be that everything happened so suddenly today, your father overly worried about your mother."
Seeing the suspect nod.
Chen Mu assumed he had explained it clearly.
Then continued, "Once I finish with these few needles, you can stop the car, and I’ll head to the other vehicle."
"Dr. Chen, is it really okay..."
Hearing Chen Mu say this, the suspect suddenly became a bit anxious.
"Dr. Chen, actually you don’t have to rush off, you could check my father more..."
The suspect’s voice trailed off.
Start turning a bit choked up.
"Actually, I don’t mean to distrust Dr. Chen, it’s just that, it’s too fast, really too fast..."
From his perspective.
Chen Mu clearly allotted three to five minutes to rescue his father.
But now.
It seemed not even two minutes had passed.
This Dr. Chen hurriedly planned to leave.
No intention of continuing further aid.
The suspect was really concerned that if Chen Mu left just like that, he might not see his father alive after today.
Of course.
He also worried.
If he insists on morally coercing Chen Mu into staying.
He might not see his mother either.
At the moment.
The issue of his parents’ treatment.
For the suspect, it resembled what elderly folks often describe.
The palm and the back of the hand.
All flesh...
At this point.
The car had come to a standstill.
Before Chen Mu got off the car, he only left the suspect with a sentence: "Since I’m the doctor treating them now, as a family member, you should unconditionally trust me."
After saying this.
Chen Mu left without looking back.
Leaving just the suspect.
Sitting in the police car.
Staring dazedly at his still-unconscious father.
—
"As a doctor, I think Dr. Chen’s words are unproblematic, the family should trust the doctor."
"Previously, our leading surgeon was stopped outside the operating room by the family, doubting he looked too young, wouldn’t let him operate, sigh..."
"And then what happened?"
"Later, due to the family’s strong reaction, they refused the young surgeon, wouldn’t sign the surgery consent, eventually, the patient passed, our whole team got suspended and investigated..."
"???"
"If my memory is not failing me, I think I came across this incident on Douyin, looking at it this way, your hospital’s testimony and that of the patient’s family are completely different!"
"The issue is, our hospital has no room to lie, the surgical records inside the OR, and the corridor surveillance footage were taken by the police, if we lie, we’re risking our careers, right?"
"Actually, our hospital released the surveillance footage on Douyin, but faced numerous criticisms, all questioning why we let a young surgeon operate."
"They’re simply attacking our director for being young, ignoring his track record, just really..."
"..."
