University Doctor and His Fragile Patients

Chapter 159: Could I Really Lose a Leg Just From Soaking My Feet?


"Dr. Chen! Dr. Chen is back!"

No one knew who first saw Chen Mu.

Someone shouted from the crowd.

All eyes immediately focused on Chen Mu alone.

Chen Mu sighed and nodded slightly to those still looking at him.

He walked towards a few graduate students, "What happened?"

The University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Hai City had sent its prized students here to help and learn.

As the host of the school's clinic, he had the responsibility and obligation to take extra care of these graduate students.

One of the male students with glasses looked a bit pale and pointed towards the observation room.

Following his direction, Chen Mu saw the source of the crying.

A slightly plump girl was lying on bed number six.

Pounding her legs frantically.

Crying loudly as she beat them.

The graduate student with glasses next to Chen Mu spoke somewhat hesitantly, "Dr. Chen, I was the one who received this girl after you left. She was also among the first batch of patients who came to soak their feet in the clinic."

Ignoring the graduate student beside him.

Chen Mu quickly walked to the patient's side, "Hello, I'm a doctor from the school's clinic."

Who knew.

As soon as Chen Mu spoke, the crying girl's emotions became more intense, "Call 120 for me, I want to go to the hospital!"

"I don't want the school's clinic doctors to treat me! You quacks, all of you are quacks!"

"I listened to your school's clinic doctors and soaked my feet, that's why I'm like this now!"

"Now I have no feeling in my legs at all!"

"Am I going to spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair because I came to the school clinic to soak my feet once?"

"Am I going to need an amputation?!"

"Sob sob sob..."

Even though the girl was emotional, she shrank into a ball out of fear.

Her hands rubbed helplessly over her numb legs.

Panic-stricken.

"Wow! After listening to Dr. Chen's explanation, my Huoxiang Zhengqi water is already on the way. Seeing this scene, I'm starting to reconsider if I should return it..."

"I hurriedly pinched my husband on the thigh, thankfully, there's still feeling!"

"???"

"Lady in front, why don't you pinch yourself? And you, sir, are you really okay with her pinching you? Such nerves, can't you just stand up?"

"I just want to know if soaking feet in Huoxiang Zhengqi water can really make legs numb, it's urgent! I've already used it!"

"As someone studying medicine, theoretically it shouldn't happen, the girl might have other issues, let's wait for Dr. Chen to take a look."

"..."

Chen Mu's gaze fell on the girl's calves, the part where her pants were rolled up.

The exposed part of her calves was unnaturally red.

Besides this.

Chen Mu also caught a strange smell.

"Reporter Su, gloves."

As soon as Chen Mu spoke, Su Bingbing thoughtfully handed him a pair of disposable gloves.

While putting on the gloves, Chen Mu asked the red armband next to the girl, "Did you call 120?"

The red armband shook his head, "We called 120, after a brief explanation of the situation, the emergency center said her case isn't that serious and suggested our school should use the campus ambulance to take her."

"It can actually save more than half the time."

Chen Mu nodded thoughtfully; such a suggestion from the emergency center was really reasonable.

The ambulance would have to make a round trip from the nearest hospital to Hai City University, then from Hai City University to the nearest hospital.

If the school dispatched its vehicle, it could indeed save more than half the time.

Just that...

There's one thing.

Chen Mu still couldn't understand, raised his hand to point at the patient still crying on the hospital bed, "Then why not just send her directly to the campus ambulance?"

The red armband sighed helplessly, "The patient's emotions are very agitated right now, she's refusing any contact with school clinic staff, and she's extremely distrustful of us, so she doesn't even trust the campus ambulance..."

Chen Mu nodded.

Continuing his inquiry, "Then where's Zheng Xin? Why isn't he here?"

In such a situation.

It's normal for these graduate students to be unable to handle it, but Zheng Xin should be adept at managing.

The red armband, clueless, shook his head, "I don't know, before Dr. Zheng left, he said he needed to get something very important, but I have no idea what it is."

Chen Mu glanced back at the girl's condition.

He already had a vague guess about what Zheng Xin went to get.

Approaching the girl.

Chen Mu tried to make his voice as gentle as possible, "Before 120 arrives, may I take a look at your soles?"

"We can only find the root cause of your leg numbness if we understand your condition."

Hatred filled the girl's eyes as she looked at Chen Mu, "I will never trust the school's clinic doctors again! I clearly had a bright future, a life worth looking forward to, but now my legs..."

Her tears fell like rain from her eyes.

Beside the girl, there seemed to be a companion.

Excitedly patting the girl's shoulder, "Wait a minute! Jingjing! You can let this doctor take a look!"

"The doctor who just asked about your condition is Dr. Chen, who's quite famous online right now, the only employed school physician!"

"Many online people call Dr. Chen a miracle doctor; maybe you can trust him, Dr. Chen can surely find the cause of your ailment!"

The two girls seemed to have a good relationship.

The words that the red armbands had said numerous times were not listened to.

The moment the girl beside Jingjing spoke, the crying instantly lessened considerably.

Jingjing raised her head, still full of doubt in her eyes as she looked at Chen Mu, "Doctor, can you really find the cause of my condition?"

"If I really was harmed by their Huoxiang Zhengqi water..."

She hadn't finished speaking when Chen Mu intervened with a smile, "If you truly lost feeling in your legs because of the Huoxiang Zhengqi water they gave you, the school will definitely take responsibility."

Jingjing still doubted Chen Mu's words, "Really?"

"Really." Chen Mu nodded with a smile.

Seeing Jingjing's eyes still full of distrust.

Chen Mu raised his hand to point at the live streaming camera behind him, "Even if you don't trust the school and me, you can at least trust the internet users, they'll help supervise whether I found the cause of your condition."

"They will also be concerned if your leg numbness is a medical accident."

Jingjing looked at the camera, then at Chen Mu.

Saying nothing, she merely extended her foot to Chen Mu.

Donning a mask, Chen Mu gently lifted the girl's foot with his gloved hand.

"Whoa!"

"What's this?"

Exclamations continuously filled the room, leaving Jingjing unaware of the state of her soles, she panicked intensely.

Chen Mu's expression also turned serious.

The condition of Jingjing's soles could easily be described as colorful.

Some areas had blackened, others had yellowed.

There were blood blisters, and in some places, ulcers had formed, revealing red raw marks.

The state of Jingjing's soles.

Definitely was not just the result of soaking feet in the school clinic.

At least, it should have been developing for at least ten days to half a month.
