University Doctor and His Fragile Patients-Chapter 388 - 320: Collapsed in Tears on the Road—This Girl Is Quite a Talent!
Every time the intern doctor spoke,
they could clearly see Chen Mu in front of them, frowning more and more deeply.
In the end,
the intern didn’t even dare to look at Chen Mu’s eyes, cautiously saying, "Dr. Chen, did I misdiagnose..."
Looking at the intern’s helpless appearance,
Chen Mu shook his head, "I’m not sure; we’ll need to see the patient in person to get a better idea."
"How is the patient’s flatulence? Did you ask?"
The intern nodded, "I asked. It’s roughly the same as the time of constipation, no bowel movements, and no flatulence either."
Listening to the intern’s words,
Chen Mu paused, "When I came, I saw Dr. Zheng Xin didn’t have much work. Why didn’t you ask Dr. Zheng Xin for answers?"
The intern lowered their head, not daring to speak.
After a while,
seemingly unable to withstand Chen Mu’s gaze, they spoke in a voice as small as a mosquito’s, "I thought...Dr. Zheng Xin seemed a bit too serious..."
"Just because of this?" Chen Mu was so angry with the intern in front of him that he burst into laughter!
His tone also unconsciously became much more serious, "If you know your diagnosis accuracy isn’t enough, delaying consulting an experienced doctor even a little is delaying the patient’s condition."
Seeing the intern unable to raise their head because of just a few words,
Chen Mu sighed and when he spoke again, his tone was far less severe than before.
"Everyone starts as a new doctor, I understand your anxiety. I won’t pursue this matter for now, but in your future medical career, you must always put the patient’s safety first, understood?"
Chen Mu’s voice no longer had the previous sternness.
Instead, there was a bit more warmth.
When being scolded earlier, the intern was just a bit unable to lift their head.
But now,
as Chen Mu’s tone rapidly became gentler,
the intern’s eyes filled with tears, "Dr. Chen, I remember my mistake this time; I promise I won’t repeat it in my lifetime!"
Chen Mu nodded, "I trust you."
Seeing the intern still a bit low-spirited, Chen Mu added, "Maybe it’s because you’re just starting night shifts and not in good form. You can stock up on some coffee; I have plenty of instant coffee in my cabinet. If you can’t hold on at night, come have a cup."
"Thank you, Dr. Chen."
—
"I really like Dr. Chen’s way of educating, not just writing someone off."
"But however you look at it, wasn’t this doctor misdiagnosed?"
"If the other person’s condition isn’t serious, it’s not really a misdiagnosis. After all, this doctor knew their accuracy wasn’t enough, didn’t they run to Dr. Chen first thing in the morning to ask?"
"Honestly, every intern from the two Medical Universities is very responsible!"
"Kidding! We med students get advice drilled into us by teachers every day! If someone lacks responsibility, they’d be known as a disgrace among peers!"
"Clinically, many doctors prioritize their work over themselves."
"Now it’s obvious; Dr. Chen’s salary as a school doctor reportedly isn’t high, yet he still has to do so much work."
"Fun fact, some interns paying for work isn’t much different from volunteering."
"..."
—
Chen Mu sighed.
Looking at the intern in front of him, he felt somewhat frustrated with their lack of progress.
"Since you still have doubts about this student’s condition, did you leave her personal information last night?"
The intern nodded, pointing to the drawer by Chen Mu’s side, "I did; I wrote a note and left it in the drawer!"
"Oh?" Chen Mu followed the intern’s direction and found the note the intern had left.
Following the contact information, he found the girl’s personal information in the school hospital’s system.
When Chen Mu began filling out the School Hospital Referral Form,
the intern was a bit surprised, "Dr. Chen, are you planning to send this student directly to the hospital?"
"But..."
"If she stays for treatment at the school hospital, she might save some money."
The intern, still a graduate student, understands very well that many students like him have financial difficulties and are too shy to ask their families for help when problems arise.
Chen Mu nodded, "I understand, but in her case, there’s a high chance of bowel obstruction."
"Confirming a bowel obstruction requires a colonoscopy, and the school hospital at Hai City University doesn’t currently have the capability to perform that!"
Listening to Chen Mu’s words,
the intern fell silent.
Chen Mu handed the completed School Hospital Referral Form to the intern before him, "Since you were responsible for this patient initially, you’ll take care of sending her to the hospital and accompanying her, yes?"
The intern’s expression was noticeably excited when taking the form.
"Dr. Chen, I promise to complete the task!"
As the words left his mouth,
and the intern was about to joyfully run out, Chen Mu helplessly waved him back, "Come back, I haven’t finished my instructions!"
"Oh oh!!!" The intern jogged back to Chen Mu’s side, eyes wide as if they were a little puppy.
For a brief moment, Chen Mu couldn’t help but find it amusing.
This might be the innocence of a student who hasn’t yet entered society.
It made him somewhat nostalgic.
He once was an exuberant young man like this.
Chen Mu: "Once her parents or advisor arrive, you should go rest. You have another night shift tomorrow, so make sure to rest well."
"Okay! I’ll follow Dr. Chen’s orders!"
Watching the intern run off happily,
his attention was drawn to Su Bingbing hurrying in from outside the school clinic.
"Dr. Chen, a student was just brought to the observation room upstairs."
"No one can communicate with her; no matter what the doctors ask, she just keeps crying and has fainted multiple times from crying!"
Hearing Su Bingbing’s anxious voice and her description of the patient’s situation,
Chen Mu felt restless too.
Picking up his medical kit, he headed downstairs, "Let’s go! Check on the patient."
"Dr. Chen is here!"
"Dr. Chen, you finally came!"
Just as Chen Mu and Su Bingbing reached the first floor,
they heard a white coat’s shout.
Soon after,
a bunch of heads popped out from the observation room of the school hospital like bamboo shoots after rain.
Each of them eagerly looked at Chen Mu,
as if he were their savior.
"Dr. Chen, this is my first time encountering a non-communicative patient."
"Many doctors tried to calm her, but she just cried harder!"
"The Chinese Medicine Academy staff are off work; no one can take her pulse, and we’re Western medicine practitioners, we need to take a history!"
"I told her, if she couldn’t speak from crying, she could nod or shake her head to answer me! Then she shook her head and choked herself!"
