Listening to Chen Mu's words.

Yan Zhi nodded in agreement: "Dr. Chen, my attending doctor back then said the same thing as you."

"He also believed my fever is related to a hidden illness."

"But when I went back to the hospital recently, he suggested I go to a bigger city and a bigger hospital for a check-up."

"He said if they can't find the cause, he fears it might delay my condition."

Chen Mu nodded with a smile: "That logic does make sense. For an illness like yours where the cause is hard to find, you do need a better medical team to help you."

"Let's continue looking at your third time..."

Knock, knock—

Chen Mu hadn't finished speaking.

Suddenly, there was a sound at the door.

Chen Mu looked up to see Si Hui standing at the door, holding a white tube, knocking.

Seeing all five people in the room looking at her, the young girl started to lose her courage and hesitated to speak.

It was Chen Mu, looking through medical records, who slapped his forehead, recalling: "Is it time for your second test after fifteen minutes?"

"Mm-hmm!"

Si Hui, who was struggling to organize her words, nodded eagerly when she heard Chen Mu voice her thoughts.

Meanwhile, Zheng Xin, who was still reviewing various test reports, finally remembered he had a patient whose tests were not yet complete.

He put down what he was holding and walked out, "Let's go, let's finish your tests first."

"Once the results are out, I'll accompany you to see Dr. Chen again."

Chen Mu continued to look down at Yan Zhi's medical records, "If we look at these test reports you've provided, the treatment plan the hospital gave you during your third hospitalization still had no issues."

"For the third time, they still chose to give you prednisolone and reduced the dosage after your body temperature was controlled, and started you on azathioprine a year ago."

"Azathioprine is also one of the common drugs for ulcerative colitis, no problem there."

"However..."

Chen Mu turned to the last page of the third medical record, frowning slightly, "What I don't understand is why you got discharged again; this is your third hospitalization. Before your bloody stool situation has completely disappeared, the hospital shouldn't have advised you to be discharged."

Yan Zhi looked a bit embarrassed, "It's not very convenient to study in the hospital."

"Just happened to be a week before the postgraduate entrance exam, so I had to go back."

Chen Mu sighed, "I understand..."

—

"Thinking back to the acute appendicitis that delayed my college entrance exam years ago, and looking at Yan Zhi, I'm truly impressed."

"If your college entrance exam gets delayed, you can retake it, and though acute appendicitis isn't a major illness, delaying it indefinitely might be fatal. Going to the hospital to have it removed was the right call!"

"At the beginning of this year, after failing to pass, I was still unsatisfied. Seeing how hard I worked and didn't pass, I'll definitely keep my mouth shut in the future!"

"For someone as diligent as Yan Zhi, whatever high position she achieves in the future, I'll be convinced, because she worked hard and deserves it!"

"I didn't even see Dr. Chen keeping quiet. If someone can get a med student to stop talking, Yan Zhi really has some skills!"

"..."

—

"So, it was just after your postgraduate exam scores came out."

"Your body had another problem."

"This time, your white blood cells decreased."

"So all the steroid medication you were taking was stopped."

Chen Mu rested his chin on his hand and continued to read.

He was gradually becoming numb.

This is, after all, the university hospital.

If it were still in the emergency department back in the day, at the very least, he'd call the chief.

With cases like this, a consultation with another doctor would increase the chances of cure.

"And then, four months ago, you were hospitalized for the fourth time."

Chen Mu continued flipping through Yan Zhi's medical records, with the corners of his mouth twitching uncontrollably.

Four hospitalizations in a year and a half.

This track record.

Among the group of fragile university students, it's definitely an impressive feat.

Wait...

It's not just four times!

In a few days,

when Yan Zhi goes to the Imperial Capital hospital, she will have to be hospitalized at least once more.

Which means...

Yan Zhi might be hospitalized five times in less than half a year!

Just thinking about it.

Chen Mu couldn't help but take a deep breath.

No wonder, with so many steroids, the young lady still couldn't gain weight.

"Because your steroid medication to control your fever was stopped, your temperature spiked again to thirty-nine point eight degrees."

"When you arrived at the emergency department, after seeing your previous medical records, they directly called the inpatient doctor from the gastroenterology department to receive you."

Reading this part.

The corners of Chen Mu's mouth began to raise.

Realizing that such behavior wasn't appropriate in front of the patient, Chen Mu raised his hand to press down the corners of his mouth.

As a result.

As soon as he let go.

Within seconds, the corners of his mouth began to rise uncontrollably again.

Chen Mu had to raise his hand again, trying hard to pull the corners of his mouth down.

—

"No need to pull, you can't get those corners down!"

"Even the emergency has called for backup, is this funny? I don't really understand Dr. Chen's sense of humor?"

"Ulcerative colitis might just be hospitalized in the gastro department. The emergency called to inform gastro that an old friend is here, come down and get her."

"Old friend, hilarious, maybe that day's attending doctors and nurses all know Yan Zhi."

"Attending doctor: Didn't you just get discharged? Why are you here again?"

"..."

—

Chen Mu frowned as he continued reading.

"On your fourth visit to the hospital, in addition to your existing problems, you developed a cough."

"With your condition, a cough would definitely get you a chest CT, mainly to prevent any issues with your lungs."

"Did you bring the CT?"

As soon as Chen Mu asked.

Yan Zhi, the academic achiever, pulled out a poster tube from underneath.

Chen Mu opened the poster tube, and the CT scan from Yan Zhi's chest slid into his hands.

Chen Mu connected the power to the film viewer he hadn't used in ages and turned it on.

Examined Yan Zhi's lung CT scans carefully.

Frowning the whole time.

What he was worried about appeared.

Chen Mu pointed with his finger for Yan Zhi to see, "When you were hospitalized the fourth time, plaques already appeared in both your lungs, indicating that the colitis hasn't been completely cured, and new issues have arisen."

On the side.

Listening in, Su Bingbing couldn't help but grimace.

Four months ago.

Her lungs were already showing problems.

Four months later, today, could there be more issues with Yan Zhi's body?

Thinking about this.

Su Bingbing couldn't help but shake her head.

What was she thinking!

Classmate Yan Zhi will definitely not develop more serious problems; she will get better.

"Besides lung plaques, you also have areas of consolidation and right pleural effusion."

"You have quite a few new issues; I see they also gave you an abdominal ultrasound. You know your test reports better; show me your abdominal ultrasound report."

Yan Zhi nodded: "Okay, Dr. Chen."

While Yan Zhi was looking for her things.

Chen Mu beckoned to Su Bingbing, "Reporter Su, could you please make me a cup of coffee?"

He needed a pick-me-up.

This morning's workload was really a bit overwhelming.

While Chen Mu was yawning.

He saw...

Si Hui, who had gone with Zheng Xin for the bronchial dilation test, walked in with a piece of paper, looking mournful...
