University Doctor and His Fragile Patients
Chapter 515 - 423: Rollerblading Down the Stairs? You Kids Sure Know How to Have Fun!
"The guardian is handy?"
Su Bingbing didn’t get it at first.
What could a prescription have to do with being handy?
But when she saw the three children, all starting to hold their bottoms,
Su Bingbing suddenly understood the value of Chen Mu’s prescription, "As expected of Dr. Chen, every prescription he writes has its purpose."
"I’m sure the medicine Dr. Chen prescribed will cure these kids in no time."
Listening to Su Bingbing,
the expressions on the little dumplings’ faces,
became even more unhappy.
Even Su Bingbing, whom they just liked and thought was very pretty,
became somewhat annoying because she agreed with Chen Mu.
As for the hostility from the three little ones, Chen Mu didn’t take it to heart.
He just smiled at the three little guys, "Since you’ve decided to stay at the campus clinic for treatment, who wants to go first?"
The two little boys,
almost without hesitation,
raised their hands and pointed at the youngest dumpling, saying in unison, "Sister first!"
The little girl didn’t expect her two usually close brothers to be like this.
She stared at the two boys in shock for a few seconds.
Then she pouted, about to cry.
—
"Those two kids are really something! Is this the time to let the sister go first? Clearly, she doesn’t want to be the first to see the doctor!"
"The sister was only two years old before, and for her to remember Dr. Chen so vividly, that’s something!"
"Honestly, dealing with a two-year-old is even harder, too light a touch and they won’t remember, too heavy and they’ll end up in the hospital!"
"Maybe there’s a misunderstanding, could it be that those two boys just wanted to let the sister go first?"
"Exactly! It’s normal for the two older ones to let the younger sister go first, especially since she’s only a little over two years old and fractures can have lasting effects."
"..."
—
Chen Mu asked Su Bingbing to support the little girl.
He first inquired about the little girl’s condition.
Then took her pulse to confirm that aside from the leg fracture, there were no other issues.
Only then did he begin to reset her limb.
With a "crack" sound,
"Waaaah... Teacher He, waaaah... it hurts..."
"Waaaah... the white meanie... so scary..."
The little dumpling, with tears in her eyes, rushed into Teacher He’s arms.
Instinctively seeking a more familiar adult.
The little dumpling, feeling immense pain, didn’t notice that the pain in her leg,
was gradually decreasing.
And even disappearing...
All she knew at the moment was that this person in white was indeed the mega bad guy of the universe.
Every time they met this bad guy, the adults around her stopped pampering her.
They all listened to this bad guy!
"Dr. Chen... I’m sorry..."
In other circumstances,
Teacher He wouldn’t normally apologize to Chen Mu.
Kids at this age act like this.
Last year, when Teacher He apologized to Chen Mu, Chen Mu had said it was no big deal.
He’s seen plenty of such scenes.
Parents apologize.
Chen Mu still has to exchange a few polite words, and in the end, it’s just a waste of both parties’ time.
But in Teacher He’s situation,
the current situation is different from their usual visits to Dr. Chen.
Usually,
when they come,
Dr. Chen’s place doesn’t have a live camera!
Although he’s just a university lecturer,
and doesn’t usually pay much attention to public opinion,
he understands how terrifying online commentary can be now.
Many times,
even if the doctor involved doesn’t mind,
the patient’s family, or the patient themselves don’t mind,
the dissatisfaction of netizens can still create a huge storm of opinion.
He himself wouldn’t easily be influenced by online opinions.
But with the three kids being so young, a misspoken word could affect their future lives, what then?
After all, kids today are different from when they were young.
Nowadays, kids, even if there’s a dark history from when they’re two,
it’s recorded in high definition.
"It’s okay, her leg should be fine now, just..."
Chen Mu frowned while looking at the lower back of the little dumpling.
He pointed to a general area and said to Su Bingbing, "Reporter Su, could you press here for me, gently, it’s a normal press, it shouldn’t hurt."
Even though Chen Mu knew,
the girl’s family wouldn’t mind him doing it directly,
since the child is only two, with female doctors and reporters present,
Chen Mu chose to avoid suspicion as much as possible.
Faced with Chen Mu’s request,
Su Bingbing nodded, reached out her hand, and followed all of Chen Mu’s instructions.
"Ahhhh!!!"
As soon as Su Bingbing started,
as the one applying pressure, she knew how light she was being.
She hadn’t applied any force.
But the child under her hand let out a sharp cry.
The volume wouldn’t subside at all.
Frightened, Su Bingbing quickly pulled her hand back.
The two slightly older boys ran up to Chen Mu, glaring at him with hostility.
"Big meanie! What did you do to our sister!"
"We’re going to the hospital to pay for treatment, not having Sister treated here!"
"Sister, stop crying, it’s all our fault, waaah!"
The older one initially knew to question Chen Mu.
The younger boy came over, originally wanting to comfort the little dumpling.
But seeing her cry uncontrollably, not knowing what to do after,
he started crying too.
—
"What I feared most happened: when you can’t soothe the first crying child, the others will follow, creating a domino effect."
"My wife didn’t use much force, but I saw the little girl’s face flush red with pain for a moment, maybe there’s a wound there?"
"I remember Dr. Chen saying the little girl was quite healthy before, apart from the leg fracture, there were no other issues. How come in less than a minute, there’s a new problem?"
"I’ve been paying close attention to the livestream, I’ll raise my hand to answer. Seems like Dr. Chen noticed it when the little girl turned around, probably not a very obvious issue."
"Problems with bones don’t always show up in the pulse, hence the importance of observation, listening, questioning, and touch in traditional Chinese medicine."
"???"
"I hadn’t even started criticizing, and you’ve already solved my questions, now how am I supposed to criticize?!"
"..."
—
Chen Mu didn’t say anything but instead looked at the eldest boy.
"Shouldn’t you ask, ’What did you two do to your sister?’"
"The leg fracture is one thing, it can be chalked up to kids playing rough."
"But I can’t figure out what dangerous move a little girl under three could do to injure her tailbone."
The boy who was just questioning Chen Mu: "..."
The other boy, still crying, pointed at his little partner without hesitation, "It was our brother who prepared the roller skates for us and showed us his new trick, stairway roller skating!"
Chen Mu: "..."
He gritted his teeth, glaring at the older boy, "Stairway roller skating? You really know how to play!"
