University Doctor and His Fragile Patients

Chapter 622 - 483: This Can’t Be Right—How Come He Doesn’t Even Have a Concussion?

"That’s true. Forget celebrities, even an ordinary person’s casual remark gets dissected endlessly by marketing accounts."

"After every internet frenzy, there’s always an unlucky soul who ends up feeling aggrieved."

"..."

—

Compared to the interns present.

Chen Mu was indeed a bit older, with a bit more experience.

Just by seeing Su Bingbing’s expression, he knew exactly what she was thinking about.

He stood up.

Gently patted the female reporter on the shoulder, "It’s not a big deal. His injury really isn’t much related to you."

"But..."

Chen Mu pointed at the interns, smiling, "Reporter Su, I’ll send you the menu of the milk tea shop, and you can help tally up what each of them wants to drink. Then I’ll have the milk tea shop at the cafeteria send it over."

Su Bingbing got even more nervous, "That’s such a hassle! I should just go..."

Chen Mu: "Faculty can pay by card and keep track, and they deliver for orders over ten cups. Are you sure you want to pick it up yourself?"

Su Bingbing: "..."

Obediently stood up.

Walked out awkwardly, "I should be able to handle something as small as this. I’ll tally up what the interns want to drink right away..."

Watching Su Bingbing leave in a hurry.

Chen Mu couldn’t suppress his smile.

Even though she was already a national icon in the entertainment industry, sometimes she was just as clueless as those naive university students.

"Dr. Chen, the brain CT of the patient just now."

Another intern walked in. Chen Mu glanced at it and said, "Isn’t this scan fine? Not even a mild concussion, why the face?"

Seeing the intern’s miserable expression as he walked in.

Chen Mu suspected, it wasn’t the patient who was in trouble, but rather the patient was nearly chilled out.

Hearing that the patient was indeed okay, the intern scratched his head, "I’m just puzzled, how can the patient be fine without even a concussion?"

Chen Mu: "!!!"

You can’t just say stuff like that!

Instinctively.

Chen Mu glanced at the direction of the live streaming camera, a bit worried about the kid’s future career.

—

"No! I’m already mad! Is this something a doctor should say?"

"Exactly! The patient has no major issues, shouldn’t you, as a doctor, be happy for them? Why does it seem like you’re disappointed they’re okay, like they owed you in a past life?!"

"Suddenly remembered, they’re only here for rare cases, with no good intentions."

"No, the interns from Hai City University of Traditional Medicine don’t even get a salary, they run around here every day, you shouldn’t speculate about them maliciously."

"Does no one think that Chen Mu is the most double-standard here? When someone speaks ill of the interns, he’s all upset, but now, when the interns say something about the students from Hai City University, he doesn’t even step up to support his students, haha!"

"Dr. Chen treats us very well; can some people stop stirring up trouble?"

"Haha, see, he has a way of making those naive students devoted to him!"

"..."

—

The intern only noticed that Chen Mu said nothing.

But didn’t see the slight tension in Chen Mu’s expression.

Standing in the same spot, pacing around in circles, "Dr. Chen, it’s like this..."

"The patient is now much more conscious, we asked the patient directly, and indeed, the suitcase did hit their head."

"Based on what we’ve learned in class, the chance that a patient’s head gets severely hit and is totally fine is really small. Even though the CT shows no issues for now, we’re still a bit worried there might be something we haven’t detected yet."

"The fact that the patient doesn’t even have a mild concussion would naturally be the best outcome, but if we overlook some minor details, overlook the patient’s condition, then that would be a big problem!"

Hearing the intern say this.

Chen Mu sighed in relief.

What a relief.

He didn’t give the intern any hints, but instead, let the intern express his thoughts out loud.

Otherwise.

It might have led to some misunderstanding again.

The intern had no idea.

That his casual words sparked a heated debate on the internet.

Neither did he know about Chen Mu’s anxiousness because of him.

After a few rounds of pacing, he started to feel unsteady.

Suddenly looked up.

With longing eyes, looked at Chen Mu in front of him, "Dr. Chen, maybe later, if you have time, you could give the patient another checkup, I’m still a bit worried."

"We’ve already agreed among a few classmates, if the patient stays at the campus clinic, we’ll check the pulse once every hour to confirm if there’s anything we might have missed."

Chen Mu: "..."

He sighed helplessly, "So far, the patient really doesn’t have any major problems, you guys shouldn’t be so tense."

"Otherwise, if the patient’s family comes later and sees you all so anxious, they might even suspect that the campus clinic is deliberately hiding the patient’s condition..."

Some patients’ families.

Seeing a whole group of doctors so worried about the patient’s situation, how could they not overthink?

This time, the intern was quite stubborn.

Even though Chen Mu persuaded, "Dr. Chen, you said it yourself, the chance a severe head injury leaves no issues is low."

"I definitely hope the patient is lucky, but to be safe, we’d better monitor the patient’s condition closely."

"I’ve just begun my internship, just started dealing with patients, I wouldn’t want any misdiagnoses under my hand."

Seeing the determined look on the young face in front of him.

The words of persuasion Chen Mu was about to say suddenly seemed stuck.

He gave a smile.

Waving a hand impatiently, "If you don’t want any misdiagnoses, then stop wasting time here with me!"

"Go check on your patient then."

The intern took the scans, "Okay, Dr. Chen!"

—

"I take back what I said earlier; although this one is just an intern, he’s very responsible."

"Even if his words didn’t sound great, he had a point. Who dares to believe they are definitely the lucky one in a small probability event?"

"Life is full of misfortunes; being lucky even once is really hard. The intern’s reasoning isn’t flawed."

"He doesn’t actually hope the patient’s condition worsens, he just wants to ensure the accuracy of the diagnosis, which is diligent and responsible."

"If I can encounter such a diligent and responsible intern when I am hospitalized, even if it’s an intern treating me, I’d be very willing..."

"These interns from Hai City University of Traditional Medicine, are they going to work at Hai City University of Traditional Medicine later? If they are, I’ll just go to Hai City University of Traditional Medicine for my traditional Chinese medicine treatments in the future."

"Yes, being diligent and responsible is one thing, but coming from a prestigious background, if they encounter something they can’t solve, they would definitely explain to the patient and redirect them for re-registration. So, in this way, even consulting an intern, the patient definitely doesn’t lose out!"

"Makes sense, it really makes sense!"

"..."

—

When Su Bingbing came back with the tally of the milk tea orders and each intern’s requests.

She saw Chen Mu leading several interns, ready to head out.

Seeing this scene.

Su Bingbing, afraid of missing something crucial, hurried over to Chen Mu.

Looking at him eagerly, "Dr. Chen, are you going on a visit?"

Chen Mu awkwardly rubbed his nose, "Actually, it’s not really a visit..."

"Oh?"

Su Bingbing looked at Chen Mu, skeptical.

Chen Mu avoided eye contact with Su Bingbing, continuing, "He Congming just sent a message, saying he encountered an odd guy at the library, who seems sick and suggests I take a look."

Su Bingbing looked at Chen Mu, dumbfounded, feeling this wasn’t the Dr. Chen she knew, "Just because He Congming thinks someone is sick, you’re going, and bringing the interns along?"
