University Doctor and His Fragile Patients

Chapter 152: A Bundle of Blood Wrapped in Human Skin—Touch It If You Dare!


"What 'zing'?"

"What 'zing'? Zing you till you're covered in blood!"

"Do you even understand what a platelet count of 1 means? A slight touch can cause massive bleeding, no one can save a person like that!"

"Massive bleeding, is it really that serious?"

"Is it really that serious? Shi Dan's current state is like a bag of blood wrapped in human skin. If you've got the guts, just poke it a little, and see if it doesn't explode on the spot, splattering you with blood!"

"The person from the ER department who's on vacation is already suffocating thinking about her previous travel plans. A platelet count of 1, how could she dare to hop around like that?"

"..."

-

The equipment isn't malfunctioning.

Shi Dan might really have a platelet count of 1.

This answer.

Floats in everyone's mind.

But everyone's gaze, without fail, still turns to not far away.

To Mu Yao, who is still conducting the test results.

What if...

What if Mu Yao's results later show that Dr. Zheng Xin also has a platelet count of 1?

Wouldn't it prove that the equipment is indeed faulty?

That Shi Dan's platelet count is not 1?

This self-deceptive thought just appears in their minds.

They then become aware of their ridiculousness.

What are you thinking?

If not for the extremely low platelet count, could a living body have livor mortis?

We all know the logic.

The equipment might genuinely be okay, and Shi Dan's platelet count could indeed be that unbelievable number.

Yet all eyes still focus on Mu Yao alone.

Holding onto a little bit of hope in their hearts.

About half a minute later.

Mu Yao starts printing.

When a fresh hot blood routine test result is printed out.

Zheng Xin himself hasn't even touched that piece of paper.

A group of people in lab coats rushes over.

"Let me see! Let me see!"

"Maybe Dr. Zheng's platelet count is also 1, surely Hai City University's equipment hasn't been used for ages and just broke down!"

"Is there something wrong with my eyes? How is Dr. Zheng Xin's test result so normal?"

The crowd.

Falls into a sudden silence where a pin drop can be heard.

Few seconds later.

Someone suddenly whispers, "I mean, could it be possible that Shi Dan actually has a platelet count of 1, and Hai City University's equipment is truly fine?"

Chen Mu stands at the entrance of the blood drawing room slightly amused.

Gazing at this inexperienced group of postgraduates, "Weren't you always nagging me before about not having seen fragile university students as patients?"

"Well, now the patient is here, who wants to step up and show some professionalism and treat them?"

The few who were the most vocal in the school medical office.

All shut their mouths at this moment.

Postgraduates who were assigned to other departments almost all ran over to join in on the fun.

These guys originally thought.

If their fellow's skill isn't up to par, and it happens to be their field of expertise.

They could squeeze out their colleague to become the patient's doctor.

But...

The postgraduates look at each other in dismay.

Who dares treat a walking blood bomb that could explode at any moment?

Just when Chen Mu thought.

No one dares to step up from this group.

Mu Yao, having packed up the equipment, with her hands in her white coat pockets, walks over to Chen Mu.

Mu Yao first sizes up Shi Dan from head to toe.

Only then does her gaze fall on Chen Mu behind her: "Dr. Chen, the most urgent task for her condition isn't treating her systemic lupus erythematosus and allergic purpura."

"The most urgent task is that she needs a platelet transfusion."

"Otherwise, if this value persists, the patient could face life-threatening danger at any time."

Seeing Chen Mu nod.

Mu Yao continues to speak, "Administering a platelet transfusion to the patient is far beyond the capabilities of an ordinary school hospital. My suggestion is to send her to a top-tier hospital for treatment."

Chen Mu nods in agreement, "What you say makes sense."

"As long as she doesn't get knocked around, her life is not in danger."

"So I'm not planning to send her to a hospital. Any of you exchange students willing to volunteer to escort this Shi Dan classmate to the hospital?"

As soon as Chen Mu finishes speaking.

The expressions of the postgraduates suddenly change.

The more quick-witted ones have already begun finding excuses to leave.

"Excuse me, Dr. Chen, I suddenly remembered that the room I'm responsible for hasn't been tidied up yet!"

"Yes, yes! I haven't calibrated the machines yet; I can't delay the subsequent patients."

"I need to do my rounds..."

"..."

In less than a minute.

The once-crowded blood drawing room now only has three postgraduates left.

Among these, two are the postgraduates responsible for the blood drawing room.

Upon meeting Chen Mu's probing gaze, they couldn't help but force a smile more pained than crying.

"Dr. Chen, it's not that we're shirking responsibility, but the blood routine is a very important test, this room can't be left without someone in charge!"

"Yes, Dr. Chen, I realize the importance of blood testing and plan to stay in this room and study hard!"

Hearing the refusal from the two companions beside her.

Mu Yao, who hasn't left yet, steps forward alone.

"Dr. Chen, if you trust me, I'll take her to the hospital."

"Don't I just need to find a regular ambulance downstairs and ensure she doesn't experience any accidental bumps on the road?"

Chen Mu nods, "In theory, that's correct, but..."

He looks up and down at the girl in the white coat before him.

Chen Mu gestures towards Shi Dan to the side, "But, do you understand, if you escort her to the hospital and if she really sustains any injuries on the way and faces a life-threatening issue, do you know what awaits you?"

To be honest.

Chen Mu truly did not expect.

Among the group of men, the one who eventually stepped forward would be a girl.

Faced with Chen Mu's gaze.

Mu Yao simply nods calmly, "I understand, if she really encounters any problem in my care, and with the current internet clamor surrounding this show, my medical career might just end before it even begins."

Chen Mu raises an eyebrow, "You realize that, and you still dare to escort her?"

Mu Yao's expression is unexpectedly earnest, "When I chose this field of study, I knew, come the day I enter the workforce, each of my diagnoses could potentially affect a patient's life."

"Dr. Chen, if I want to become a competent doctor, I must bear the risks and responsibilities of the profession."

"Please believe me, I will definitely be able to get the patient to the hospital safely, okay?"

Chen Mu hesitates for a moment.

He still nods, "Alright, you take her."

"The School Hospital Referral Form is here, and before her counselor arrives, you might have to help with the admission procedures."

"Once you get on the school ambulance, add Reporter Su on WeChat, and I will have Reporter Su contact Shi Dan's counselor. Once they have Shi Dan's submitted report and blood type, Reporter Su will send it to you."

Mu Yao nods seriously.

And leaves with Shi Dan.

When Chen Mu walks out of the blood drawing room, he glances at the two boys.

Both heads are lowered, lost in some thought.

Chen Mu shakes his head and walks away.

Zheng Xin swings an arm over, "Dr. Chen, I'm about to go out to eat. Do you have anything you want, I'll bring it back for you?"

Chen Mu thinks for a moment, "Mango sago?"

Zheng Xin nods, "Alright, I'm off to eat now."

Chen Mu: "Your treat!"

Zheng Xin starts gritting his teeth, "I shouldn't have asked you, fine! I'll treat you! My dear 'father'!"

Seeing his friend walk away in a huff.

Chen Mu's spirits lift as he leisurely hums a tune walking back towards his school clinic.

Suddenly.

The clinic door bursts open with a bang from the inside.

Yan Zhi rushes towards Chen Mu in a panic, "Dr. Chen! A student just called the school clinic saying his roommate accidentally ingested rat poison!"

Chen Mu: "Which dormitory does the patient live in, do you know their name?"

Yan Zhi, in a fluster, hands a piece of paper to Chen Mu, "My mind is a mess right now, I can't remember, but I've jotted down the related information with pen and paper just now, Dr. Chen, you can have a look."

"I vaguely recall the patient's name is something like, what, Smartness or something..."
