University Doctor and His Fragile Patients

Chapter 596 - 470: Is Hai City University’s Kidney Deficiency Rate Really This High?

"If it hurts, just take it."

"Even though the doctor has repeatedly emphasized the seriousness of the condition, which could be life-threatening."

"They still resolutely left, both the patient and the patient’s family, thinking it was just a trivial appendicitis, nothing serious."

"Even when the hospital suggested they should sign a waiver if they refused treatment, they signed it, just to avoid treatment and not spend that ’unnecessary money’."

The words "unnecessary money" at the end.

Chen Mu practically spat them out from between his teeth.

Even after all these years.

For those odd patients and their families he met in the emergency room back in the day, Chen Mu still feels an indescribable helplessness.

Many patients.

Clearly, doctors have the ability to save their lives...

But.

The patients simply don’t give doctors a chance.

Su Bingbing was stunned, "In the case of a perforated appendicitis, is there any point in taking ibuprofen or painkillers?"

Chen Mu shook his head, "Basically, they have no effect at all, you could say it’s negligible."

"The patient eventually died at home because the appendicitis was not treated in time."

Beside Chen Mu.

A group of medical interns, each one quieter than the last.

The scenarios Chen Mu described.

Although most of them haven’t encountered such situations, some senior students mentioned similar things in the school’s alumni group.

The accounts shared by the seniors.

Were not all that different from what Dr. Chen just described.

If they truly wish to become good doctors who make a difference in the workplace in the future.

Then the first step.

Is to learn how to protect themselves well.

How to face situations where even doctors are helpless.

Su Bingbing couldn’t understand, "After the patient died, didn’t the patient’s family have any regrets?"

"If they had treated the patient at that time, they could have saved a family member’s life."

In Su Bingbing’s eyes, family is a precious existence.

Chen Mu looked at Su Bingbing for a long time and finally let out a sigh, "Later, the patient’s family brought the patient’s body over to make a scene, claiming the hospital delayed the patient’s condition."

—

"?????"

"Is there really such a ridiculous thing in the world, where someone abandons treatment, signs a waiver, and then comes back to cause trouble at the hospital?"

"This story sounds too far-fetched, isn’t it just Chen Mu making things up to slander the patient?"

"For those who think it’s made up, search for this news and you’ll find it, it was a real case back then, and it even got quite a bit of attention online. I didn’t expect that Dr. Chen was also present."

"Luckily, the hospital’s legal department was strong, and when they went to court, the hospital won."

"Although the hospital won, it was heavily criticized online at the time, accused of lacking humanitarianism, while charging so much in medical fees without giving anything back to the patients."

"Even if the hospital wanted to help patients, it wouldn’t help those causing the death of their own family members, the online commenters at that time were delusional, where did the hospital go wrong?"

"... "

—

Not knowing what the scene was like back then.

Just hearing Chen Mu’s account.

Su Bingbing couldn’t help but empathize with the doctors in the hospital at that time.

She instinctively spoke out, "Faced with such a troublemaker, the hospital didn’t compensate, did it?"

Perhaps realizing her emotions were showing a bit too much.

Su Bingbing tried to cover up her emotions a bit.

She then spoke again, "I mean, this shouldn’t be allowed. If the hospital compensates the first troublemaker, what if other patients’ families don’t care about the patient’s life and follow suit?"

Chen Mu smiled, "You don’t need to worry about that. Now, as long as it’s a top-tier hospital, they all have a few skilled legal personnel."

Otherwise.

Such troublemakers.

Even encountering just one could potentially hinder a doctor’s career.

Who knows.

How much time and resources it takes to cultivate a competent doctor.

Especially those already treating patients and handling things independently.

Their careers.

Shouldn’t have to make way for such people.

Chen Mu glanced at Su Bingbing beside him, "In the story I just told, although the patient’s family was quite outrageous, fundamentally, the patient herself also had significant issues, thinking her physical problems were minor."

"Clinically, there are actually many cases of women only realizing they are pregnant after eight months."

"Most people mistake some pregnancy reactions as everyday stomachaches, headaches, and in such situations, they usually get some sleep or take painkillers to get over it."

Facing Su Bingbing’s stunned expression.

Chen Mu merely said, "Even if it’s the same issue, different people have different perceptions."

"Situations like these are quite normal, just that we were unprepared mentally before it happened."

Chen Mu continued to lecture Su Bingbing on principles.

Suddenly.

He stopped in his tracks, staring blankly ahead.

"This... we truly weren’t prepared for this..."

A doctor in a white coat standing next to Chen Mu, looking towards the crowd, showed an equally bewildered expression akin to Chen’s.

At the entrance of the campus clinic.

Without knowing when, another long line had formed.

The ones lining up.

Were all young men, and to hide their true identities.

They discreetly wore hats and masks.

Chen Mu: "..."

—

"Some of these guys are even wearing shorts and slippers, that’s because they heard the campus clinic treats kidney deficiency, and rushed over without even changing clothes!"

"Hahaha! The showmanship here is top-notch, the fragile students of Hai City University really are giving the school a lot of support!"

"The ones near the first dorm haven’t even arrived yet, are these the guys who just woke up from other dorms?"

"Hai City University truly is a blessed place, for such a small university to gather so many guys with kidney issues!"

"For those upfront, if Dr. Chen hears that, he might explode!"

"At the very least, I’ve begun to sympathize with Dr. Chen and the medical interns from Hai City University of Traditional Medicine who are on their way, how are these guys so eager to cause a scene!"

"Damn! Don’t just say they’re eager to cause a scene, if the campus clinic at Hai City University allowed outsiders, I’d want to check my own kidney issues too!"

"Alright, alright, I kinda want to go too, but doesn’t the campus clinic at Hai City University consider opening up to the public, I’d pay for it."

"On the first day of charging, Dr. Chen would resign!"

"..."

—

Chen Mu stood with his hands in his pockets.

Looking at the long queue in front of him.

Even felt a bit incredulous.

Rubbing his eyes.

Kept thinking if he was seeing things wrong.

After multiple confirmations.

Seeing so many people, Chen Mu took out his phone.

Started to type on the memo app.

Seeing Chen Mu stand still, Su Bingbing curiously leaned in.

Accidentally.

Saw the title at the top of Chen Mu’s phone.

"Resignation Letter"

Su Bingbing: "..."

Feeling somewhat helpless, she reached out and grabbed Chen Mu’s hand, guiding him towards the clinic.

While pulling him along, she said, "Dr. Chen, what you’re carrying now is more than just Hai City University, it’s also the popularity of our program group."

"It’s not that you can’t choose to resign, but at least during the program recording, it’s out of the question!"

Chen Mu: "..."

—

"Uh-oh! My wife is dragging this man’s hand, yet I see no hint of romance between them?"

"The way Su Bingbing drags Dr. Chen, it doesn’t look like the online analysis of pulling her lover, but more like pulling her career."

"My wife: I don’t care about you, but the program’s momentum must not drop!"

"Seeing my wife so dedicated to her career makes me so happy, I feel even Dr. Chen has no chance to win her over."

"The problem is if my wife can’t be won over, her workload has a risk of burning her out."

"It’s fine, it’s fine, my workload also risks burning me out, this only proves fans stick with their idols!"

"??? "

"Alright, alright, Su Bingbing’s male fans are really redefining sticking with their idols, you truly stay through thick and thin!"

"..."
