University Doctor and His Fragile Patients-Chapter 417 - 344: Hai City University, A Land of Outstanding Talent

Chapter 417: Chapter 344: Hai City University, A Land of Outstanding Talent

"This is killing me with laughter, this patient is more impressive than a pig!"

"How does Hai City University do it? Every fragile university student is just bursting with creativity!"

"Brothers, chant with me, Hai City University, a place of outstanding people and wondrous land!"

"What a load of nonsense, are you talking about swallowing light bulbs or eating pig feed?"

"Even the two dudes with caps look quite helpless."

"Who would have thought that not only do these fragile university students eat pig feed, they eat it raw too!"

"Hahaha!!!"

"..."

—

Staring helplessly, Chen Mu pulled two wads of tissue paper out of the patient’s nostrils.

The patient’s complexion visibly deteriorated.

Su Bingbing couldn’t help but ask from the side, "Dr. Chen, what were those balls of tissue for? Why is the patient’s reaction so intense after they were removed?"

Chen Mu pointed to his own nose.

"When you eat, if you block your nose, you can only taste sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy, but not other flavors."

"He probably used the tissue to block his nose because pig feed doesn’t taste very good."

Su Bingbing was dumbfounded: "If he already knew pig feed didn’t taste good, why eat it? Are students these days so harsh on themselves?"

Chen Mu shook his head: "It may not be harshness toward themselves; they might have finally resolved to be tough on themselves."

"This student’s body has issues and needs weight gain to maintain health."

"But due to poor absorption, regular binge eating won’t make him gain weight quickly, and could even upset his stomach, causing vomiting and diarrhea."

"Eating five or six meals a day not only doesn’t make him gain weight, he can actually lose a few pounds."

Listening to Chen Mu’s words.

Su Bingbing’s eyes unconsciously showed a hint of envy: "If only such a wonderful constitution were mine..."

—

"It’s true, if that kind of constitutional inability to gain weight were mine, I wouldn’t have to think about dieting every day."

"But when you really can’t gain weight, you’ll start to worry. Usually, people with such overly thin constitutions are not in good health because their bodies don’t absorb nutrients from food."

"I have a friend like that, basically eats all kinds of vitamins as meals; otherwise, it’s straight to the hospital with malnutrition."

"Fainting on the street, fragile like a glass doll, falling apart at the slightest touch."

"If someone like this buys pig feed to gain weight, I can understand. Honestly, weight gain is several times harder than losing weight..."

"Most people, if they set their mind to it, have a chance to lose weight. But gaining weight isn’t just about resolve."

"..."

—

Just envied it for two minutes.

Su Bingbing also sensed something was not quite right.

With some doubt, she looked at Chen Mu beside her: "Dr. Chen, what you just said, wasn’t it something you just figured out, but rather the past medical history of this student?"

"Did you know this patient before?"

Facing Su Bingbing’s questioning.

Chen Mu calmly nodded: "Of course I knew him, Zhu Xiaohe, a third-year civil engineering student."

"He once received treatment at the campus hospital for a period, took Chinese medicine for more than half a year, and gained about ten pounds."

"Once the treatment period was over, I told him to stop the medication for a while. Although the treatment was effective, Zhu Xiaohe was not satisfied when it was stopped."

While inserting the Silver Needle onto Zhu Xiaohe, Chen Mu continued, "Back then, Zhu Xiaohe felt that our treatment plan already had some effect, and I should continue prescribing medicine for him."

Chen Mu shook his head: "But medicine is toxic to some degree..."

"During that time, although I was caring for his body, his pulse indicated that if he continued taking Chinese medicine, it might cause unnecessary stress to his kidneys."

"Moreover, Zhu Xiaohe’s physical condition is worse than that of ordinary people, so I dared not risk continuing to prescribe medicine. I told him to wait three months, then he could return to the campus hospital to see me."

Su Bingbing nodded but continued to ask: "Then... Dr. Chen, how long has it been since this Zhu Xiaohe student last visited you at the campus hospital?"

Chen Mu: "It’s been three or four months. I called Zhu Xiaohe once during this time, and he told me he was being treated by another doctor."

"I assumed he found a more suitable doctor, so I didn’t say much more. I didn’t expect to meet again under such circumstances..."

Unexpectedly.

That student, who initially seemed merely thin, has now become extreme enough to need pig feed to gain weight.

Thinking of this.

Chen Mu frowned unconsciously and glanced in Secretary Lu’s direction, "Secretary, after this student is discharged and returns to school, I hope you can ask the school’s psychological counselor to keep an eye on this student."

At this moment.

How could Secretary Lu dare to relax?

Listening to Chen Mu’s words, Secretary Lu nodded quickly: "Okay, I’ll definitely arrange for someone to keep an eye on this student, but Dr. Chen, the question now is, do you think this student’s situation can still be saved..."

The student from Hai City University.

A student who, trying to gain weight, eats pig feed to death.

Secretary Lu didn’t dare to imagine what would happen if such news trended on major social media platforms; what would become of Hai City University’s reputation?

Facing Secretary Lu’s obviously anxious demeanor.

Chen Mu shook his head: "Probably savable, under normal circumstances, I should induce vomiting, but now we might be facing a rather bad situation."

Secretary Lu: "Dr. Chen, just say it, if there’s anything we can help with, please don’t hesitate."

Chen Mu shook his head: "Unless the emergency center staff arrive early, you probably can’t help much at the moment. The problem now is, the feed the patient has eaten is quite hard."

"If we forcibly induce vomiting now, there is a chance it could injure the patient’s esophagus."

Secretary Lu is the one who understands Chen Mu the most here.

Listening to Chen Mu speak thus.

He immediately asked solemnly: "Dr. Chen, if we don’t forcibly induce vomiting, what might be the consequences?"

Chen Mu shook his head: "This is the first time I’ve encountered a patient who eats pig feed, but it won’t affect me knowing that some additives for pigs might cause irreversible harm to the patient’s body, such as neurological damage."

Listening to Chen Mu’s words.

Secretary Lu also had an answer in mind: "So, we’re faced with two choices."

"The vomit-inducing treatment, which might damage the student’s esophagus, is relatively the safer treatment, right?"

As Chen Mu nodded.

Secretary Lu clenched his fists, making up his mind.
