University Doctor and His Fragile Patients-Chapter 281 - 239: Coming to the Hospital Without Illness? Congratulations! Getting What You Asked For!

Upon hearing that Zhu Lang chose to secretly use an electric heating rod to save money,

a few of the white coats, sympathizing with him as fellow university students,

couldn't help but try to find some excuse for Zhu Lang.

"Dr. Chen, maybe he just wanted to save some money?"

"Yeah, the hot water at school is so expensive. Every time I insert my water card, the balance decreases at a heart-wrenching speed..."

"I once washed my hair in the school's bathhouse, and when I turned around, I found that it had cost me five yuan. I was so shocked that I hurriedly rinsed my hair off..."

A few of the white coats

chimed in one after another,

just to plead for Zhu Lang.

But as they were talking...

they noticed Zhu Lang awkwardly covering his face,

looking embarrassed to hear what they were saying.

Very strangely...

they suddenly remembered another patient from the school infirmary that morning.

Liu Yingying, who secretly kept a hairdryer.

And...

Dr. Chen's comment, "Does your school's dormitory not have a blow-drying room?"

Sure enough.

The next second,

they heard Chen Mu exclaim, "Wow! Is the hot water at Hai City University of Traditional Medicine and Hai City Medical University really that expensive?"

"Since the scores are similar, everyone should try for Hai City University instead."

"At Hai City University, a whole kettle of hot water only costs a dime."

The white coats: "???"

Is this the normal price difference between universities in the same city?

"Even if female students take a bath for twenty to thirty minutes in the bathroom, the water fee is only about two or three yuan."

The white coats: "..."

Everyone's gaze was directed at Zhu Lang in unison,

waiting for this guy to give a reasonable explanation.

—

"Hearing Dr. Chen's statement, I really couldn't hold it in anymore. Does your Hai City University have its own independent currency system for water fees?"

"Huh? Hai University students were a bit confused. Isn't this the normal price for water at school?"

"A kettle of hot water for us costs about one yuan; our water fee is ten times yours! Ten times! Do you understand?!"

"This price is really tempting. I'm definitely applying to Hai City University in the future!"

"Calm down! Though Hai City University has good benefits, the feng shui is bad!"

"???"

"No superstitions allowed! This Hai University student is really feeling defensive now!"

"..."

—

Seeing Zhu Lang remain silent and introverted,

a somewhat impatient white coat couldn't help it, "With the water fees at your school, you can't afford hot water?"

"Since there's enough hot water at school, why bother with such dangerous things in the dorm? It's harmful to others and to yourself."

Zhu Lang covered his face,

remaining introverted.

On the other hand, Chen Mu folded his arms,

looking on with an unabashedly amused attitude, "Why else? Laziness."

"This guy's dorm is on the fourth floor; he doesn't want to go downstairs!"

The white coats: "..."

Though they found Zhu Lang's behavior baffling,

thinking about his already deducted credits, they felt oddly at ease.

While treating Zhu Lang's wound,

they were meticulous.

Seeing the white coat wrapping gauze around Zhu Lang, Chen Mu handed him the pre-prepared School Hospital Referral Form.

Seeing the Referral Form in his hand,

Zhu Lang was stunned and looked up at Chen Mu, "Dr. Chen... hasn't my wound already been treated..."

"Do I still need to go to a hospital?"

Chen Mu glanced at his wound,

and said with some exasperation, "Your electric kettle hadn't been cleaned for a long time, right?"

Zhu Lang began to feel guilty, his voice becoming as small as a mosquito's: "Um..."

Chen Mu: "Just now, some kettle fragments on your leg had obvious limescale."

"I suggest you go to a community hospital and get a tetanus shot."

Seeing Zhu Lang holding the Referral Form and still hesitating,

Chen Mu kindly reminded him, "Even if you have to call your parents for money, and they might nag a bit, it's better than facing a life-threatening situation, right?"

Life-threatening!

Remembering the widely-circulated video of a rabies outbreak in the school group before,

Zhu Lang shivered.

Even if he staggered, he rushed out with the Referral Form.

"Dr. Chen, I'll go for the tetanus shot right now!"

"I don't want to die!!!!"

—

"Hahaha!!! I'm dying of laughter; I suspect Zhu Lang is channeling my mental state!"

"Modern-day university students can do stupid things, but they fear death!"

"As a medical student, I screamed, 'Dude, slow down! The gauze is bleeding through!'"

"The dude doesn't care about the bleeding; he just wants the tetanus shot!"

"The dude doesn't care about the bleeding; he just fears death!"

"Hahaha!!! You guys are so wicked, it's hilarious!"

"..."

—

"It's bleeding! Hold on!"

The white coat who had just bandaged Zhu Lang saw the bloodstain on the gauze and felt his blood rush to his head.

He quickly stopped Zhu Lang,

pulling him back to re-bandage.

Chen Mu shouted towards the door, "Next!"

This time, a girl walked in.

The girl's hands were adorned with beautifully manicured long nails.

Although Chen Mu didn't really understand nail art.

Someone once tirelessly explained to Chen Mu that if she didn't study medicine, she would definitely get long, beautiful nails.

As a result, Chen Mu could instantly tell that the girl's nails must have cost a lot.

Seeing the girl holding one hand over the other.

Chen Mu raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong with your hand?"

Seeing the girl's gaze, he couldn't help but look toward the filming direction.

Chen Mu considerately said, "Should I ask him to step out?"

The girl bit her lip: "Dr. Chen, let me think for a moment..."

Chen Mu: "Okay, but remember, the decision is yours."

Seeing the girl still hesitating.

Noticed a trace of blood between the girl's fingers.

Chen Mu frowned slightly.

Was about to ask the camera crew to step out.

The girl suddenly looked up, "Dr. Chen, it's okay, let him stay."

Chen Mu was somewhat surprised.

The girl released the hand that was covering her other hand.

At the same time.

The white coats in the school clinic exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh my! What's going on?"

"No wonder the patient's face was so pale when she came in!"

"The fingers are connected to the heart, it must hurt!"

"I'll go prepare some gauze and antiseptic."

"..."

After seeing the condition of the girl's finger clearly.

There was no need for Chen Mu to speak; the white coats automatically got busy.

Instead, Chen Mu.

Took the ID card the girl handed over and created a new electronic medical record, "How did your nail break?"

The girl's right middle finger.

The long nail broke directly from the base.

Which explained why it looked so bloody.

The girl pursed her lips: "It's my first time getting such long nails, so I didn't realize it would be inconvenient for doing things..."

"When I was typing my thesis, the nail suddenly..."

Chen Mu pointed to the white coats who had prepared long ago, "They'll take care of your wound, it's hot now, remember to come back tomorrow to change the gauze."

Finished writing up the girl's medical record.

Chen Mu yawned.

Was about to call out to the door when Su Bingbing walked in.

Seeing Su Bingbing return to the school clinic.

Chen Mu inexplicably felt relieved, somehow believing with Su Bingbing here, his work would be much easier. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Yet obviously...

Su Bingbing was just a host who knew nothing about medical techniques.

Su Bingbing glanced at Chen Mu's expression.

Immediately understanding Chen Mu's intent, she called out to the door: "Next one!"

A somewhat chubby boy walked in briskly.

Upon entering.

Slapped his ID onto Chen Mu's desk.

Chen Mu scanned his ID.

The school clinic's computer popped up the boy's information.

"Xiong Fei."

Chen Mu: "Xiong Fei, what's bothering you?"

Xiong Fei smiled proudly, "Dr. Chen, I'm super healthy and have a great appetite!"

Chen Mu: "?"

After a moment of silence.

Chen Mu kindly reminded, "Xiong Fei, this is the school clinic..."

This is a place for seeing patients.

If you're super healthy, why come to the hospital?

But unexpectedly.

Xiong Fei didn't seem to sense Chen Mu's speechless mood, saying matter-of-factly: "Dr. Chen, I read online that you folks in traditional Chinese medicine are amazing!"

Chen Mu: "How so..."

Xiong Fei: "They say the pulse reading in traditional Chinese medicine can detect hidden issues undetectable by Western medicine!"

Xiong Fei: "That means if I get my pulse checked, I save a fortune on medical exams, don't I?"

Chen Mu: "???"

—

"Seriously? Traditional Chinese medicine pulse reading can equate to medical exams? This student is a genius, I'm booking an appointment now!"

"Medical students advise against this..."

"Didn't you notice Dr. Chen and those in white coats had strange expressions hearing him?"

"There's an uncanny belief; don't occupy medical resources if you're not sick; it'll come back around..."

"Before, our hospital had a patient, originally fine, until eating greasy food at a nearby stall, then got acute gastroenteritis and was hospitalized for a week..."

"Medicine is science, but hospitals have a mystical side; being healthy, don't randomly visit..."

"Is it that alarming?"

"..."

—

Chen Mu collected his thoughts.

Was about to advise the chubby boy in front of him.

Noticed Xiong Fei already looked impatient.

Words that had reached Chen Mu's mouth were silently swallowed back.

Patients with this kind of eager expression.

Chen Mu had seen them before.

Generally, they don't listen until a diagnosis is made.

Fine.

Since he came, Chen Mu would check him.

If there's indeed a problem.

It's better for early treatment.

With such thoughts, Chen Mu placed his fingers on Xiong Fei's pulse.

Half a minute later.

Watching Xiong Fei, Chen Mu's expression grew increasingly peculiar.
