"Once something is given away, where's the reason to ask for it back?"

Chen Mu nimbly dodged Zheng Xin's outstretched hand.

He twisted open the bottle cap.

His mouth was filled with a gulp of cold soda.

The taste was simply amazing!

Chen Mu squinted his eyes with some enjoyment, "Did you tell your dad, when will the school's medical office fridge arrive?"

"At the latest, it'll be here tonight, the students are already bringing the herbal medicine decoction over."

"The school hospital can't let the students have nowhere to store their medicine!"

Zheng Xin was speechless, "I heard it's already on the way, but I don't know exactly when it will arrive."

"Is that so..." Chen Mu held the drink bottle and resumed watching the graduate student give Jingjing a basic check-up.

Chen Mu: "Classmate, what's your name?"

The bespectacled graduate student looked a bit awkward in front of the patient.

Hearing Chen Mu's voice, he was startled into a shiver, "Dr. Chen, my name is Wu Liang!"

Chen Mu nodded, "Wu Liang, do you have any thoughts on Jingjing's condition yet?"

Wu Liang glanced at Jingjing who was still looking at him, then at Chen Mu behind him.

He cautiously replied, "I think Jingjing's foot might have a bacterial infection."

Chen Mu nodded again.

The patient herself muttered, "Dr. Chen just mentioned a bacterial infection, besides that, you don't have any other judgments?"

Wu Liang, who already appeared a bit constrained, seemed even more timid after being critiqued.

Yet right behind him.

Chen Mu's voice rang out as well.

"Wu Liang, with your level of education, you should be able to handle this condition!"

"First conquer your mental barrier. Even though an experienced doctor will guide you initially in the clinic, eventually, you will need to diagnose independently!"

"When your school contacted me, they said they were sending a batch of elites. Don't tell me even the elites don't have the courage to treat patients!"

Listening to Chen Mu, Wu Liang's back clearly stiffened for a moment.

After a brief pause.

Wu Liang finally spoke, diagnosing.

"The multiple wounds on the patient's foot resemble burns."

"It seems like the burns weren't treated promptly, leading to prolonged neglect and subsequently, bacterial infection."

Saying this.

Wu Liang looked up at Jingjing, "Classmate, recently, have you had a habit of soaking your feet in hot water?"

Jingjing nodded, "I've been reading some online posts recently that say long-term foot soaking is good for health."

"Come to think of it, I seem to have become quite heat-resistant lately?"

Jingjing's friend beside her also chimed in, "Earlier, we wanted to soak our feet together. I tried her foot bath water, and it felt like it could peel off a layer of my skin."

Wu Liang took out a small notebook from his pocket.

Preparing to jot down the patient's condition.

He just wrote the first word.

Right in front of him appeared a brand-new notebook, with "Hai City University School Hospital" written on the cover.

"Patient's Medical Record."

"Thank you, Dr. Chen." At the moment he saw the medical record book, Wu Liang's entire demeanor noticeably brightened.

He understood.

Chen Mu giving him this booklet indicated that Chen Mu really wanted him to diagnose independently.

Wu Liang began to fill in Jingjing's personal information on the cover.

"You're really planning to help Hai City University of Traditional Medicine train newcomers!" Zheng Xin couldn't help but click his tongue as he watched.

Chen Mu had his hands in his pockets, "Having one more outstanding doctor in the clinic will always be beneficial for the patients. Besides, the students sent by Hai City University of Traditional Medicine are already quite capable; they just lack practice."

Zheng Xin was dumbfounded.

He opened his mouth several times, but in the end, he swallowed back the words he wanted to say.

"Alright, alright. With your encouragement, I understand."

"Although I won't be here for long, I'll do my best to help teach as much as I can."

Chen Mu took another sip of his cola, "Mmm."

Jingjing saw Wu Liang classify her condition as a burn in the medical record.

She couldn't help but question, "Doctor, under normal circumstances, people do have a sense of pain. If it really was a burn, wouldn't I feel something?"

Wu Liang looked up at her, "Your foot is already so damaged. Do you feel anything?"

Jingjing: "..."

Well, indeed, she didn't feel a thing?

Wu Liang continued, "The condition of your foot, along with your leg's complete loss of sensation, is largely due to bacterial infection."

"However, besides the bacterial infection, there should be another condition affecting you."

"This condition has caused your lower limb nerves to become dysfunctional, leading to an inability to perceive overly hot water during foot soaks."

"Ultimately resulting in bacterial infection in the foot, leading to fasciitis of the foot."

Jingjing nodded, "Doctor, I understand everything you've said. So what exactly is the condition causing the sensory dysfunction in my lower limb nerves?"

Wu Liang propped his chin, starting to ponder.

After a while.

Wu Liang looked up at Jingjing, "Classmate, have you experienced dry mouth recently?"

Jingjing nodded, "Yes."

Wu Liang took a deep breath, his eyes shining.

He felt he might have truly identified Jingjing's condition.

He continued to probe, "Have you experienced weight loss recently?"

Jingjing nodded, "I really have, but I always thought it was due to my recent diet meals."

Wu Liang: "Itchy skin, frequent urination?"

Jingjing nodded, "Yes, those too."

Wu Liang took a deep breath and stood up.

He turned to look at Chen Mu and Zheng Xin behind him, "Dr. Chen, Dr. Zheng, I preliminarily suspect this classmate has diabetes, leading to sensory dysfunction in the lower limb nerves."

"Does our school have equipment for measuring blood sugar?"

He hadn't finished speaking.

When he saw Chen Mu raise his hand.

A white object traced a beautiful arc through the air.

Heading straight for him!

Wu Liang had to jump a little to barely catch it.

Upon seeing the object in hand, he was slightly surprised, "A home blood glucose meter?"

Chen Mu nodded, "All we need to do is confirm whether she has diabetes by simply testing her blood sugar."

"To make a more thorough examination, we would need to conduct a fasting blood sugar test."

"And even if it's confirmed, the school hospital doesn't have enough medication to treat her."

"Check her blood sugar, confirm it, and then send her directly to the hospital by the school ambulance."

Listening to Chen Mu, Wu Liang returned to Jingjing with the blood glucose meter.

Wu Liang: "Classmate, I need to take a little bit of your fingertip blood."

"Oh, alright." Jingjing replied as a reflex.

Then the next second.

She raised two straight middle fingers at Wu Liang!

Wu Liang: "..."

Pfft—

Behind him, Zheng Xin and Chen Mu were already laughing unabashedly.

Chen Mu, still laughing, patted Zheng Xin's shoulder, "Dr. Wu, hurry up and take her blood!"

"The middle finger is also a fingertip!"

Hearing the exaggerated laughter behind her, Wu Liang's arm stiffened as he brandished the blood-taking needle.

Jingjing also realized her gesture might have been a bit off.

She awkwardly retracted her two middle fingers.

Suddenly.

Outside the observation room, there was a rush of hurried footsteps.

Chen Mu's expression changed.

Almost instinctively, he wanted to hide.

Zheng Xin also realized something, clutching Chen Mu's arm tightly, giving him no chance to run.

A few seconds later.

The observation room door was opened from the outside.

Yan Zhi stood at the doorway, panting, "Dr. Chen, I just got a call, six students from a dormitory have all fallen into a coma."

Chen Mu was dumbfounded, "How many? All six passed out?"

Yan Zhi nodded, continuing, "The student who called suspects they have food poisoning."

Zheng Xin clicked his tongue in amazement, "Impressive! Our school's students can now diagnose themselves?"
