University Doctor and His Fragile Patients-Chapter 365 - 298: Crispy Alumnus Is Hilarious, Laughed So Hard My Retina Detached! (2-in-1)_2

Chapter 365: Chapter 298: Crispy Alumnus Is Hilarious, Laughed So Hard My Retina Detached! (2-in-1)_2

Immediately turned his head to scan the e-bike.

But before his scan page was opened, a phone call came in, very "timely."

The name displayed on the caller ID was...

Zheng Xin!

Realizing that this was likely a call from the school hospital, Chen Mu felt uneasy all over.

He took a few deep breaths.

Chen Mu forcibly calmed his somewhat restless mind.

Then.

He answered the call: "Is there a case at the school that needs me to come over?"

On the other end of the phone.

Zheng Xin, who called, was obviously a bit stunned.

But quickly.

He burst into laughter, "Dr. Chen, you’re quite up-to-date with the fragile students’ issues at the school..."

Chen Mu gritted his teeth: "That’s because I know every time I’m about to get off work, these messy situations always come up."

"Haha..." Listening to his friend’s suicidal-sounding voice, Zheng Xin, who had just started his shift, inexplicably felt a bit better.

After chuckling twice, he finally said, "It’s like this, a student called the school hospital."

"Said her friend suddenly went blind! Now they’re at the second cafeteria, and you’re probably the closest doctor to the second cafeteria at the school."

"Besides..."

After all, they’re friends.

The rest of what Zheng Xin wanted to say wasn’t needed; Chen Mu already knew what he was thinking.

After a short sigh.

He completed his friend’s unfinished sentence, "And, since eyes are such important organs, it’s probably best if I go check it out myself."

"Good that you understand."

Hearing that Chen Mu showed no reluctance, Zheng Xin on the call also sighed with relief.

"I’ll send you the phone number of the student who called for help to your WeChat now. Once you reach the second cafeteria, just call her, and you can find the patient."

After saying this.

Zheng Xin couldn’t wait to hang up the phone.

During the call, Chen Mu could vaguely hear a lot of noise from Zheng Xin’s side.

It seemed like the school hospital was very busy too.

Mu Yao, standing next to Chen Mu, proactively opened the door of the school ambulance driven by Driver He.

Smiling at Chen Mu, she said: "Dr. Chen, please?"

Another long sigh.

Chen Mu, with a miserable face, got into the school ambulance.

—

"Just when Dr. Chen was shouting about clocking out, I felt something bad was going to happen, and sure enough..."

"Although I understand Dr. Zheng’s feelings, if it’s an eye problem, there’s not much Dr. Chen can do, right?"

"Ophthalmology and dentistry are specialized fields. Even if Dr. Chen is an excellent Chinese medicine doctor, he might not be able to help a blind patient, right?"

"I think so too. Dr. Chen surely can’t perform eye surgery on the spot, can he? Even if he could, there wouldn’t be any equipment on site."

"Overthinking it. Dr. Chen just needs to be there. He doesn’t need to do anything."

"What’s that supposed to mean?"

"Often, even if a general practitioner can’t help much, if the doctor has a big enough name, patients won’t panic, and when they don’t, the condition might stabilize."

"So? Dr. Zheng stopped Dr. Chen from leaving work to have him play a mascot role for the patient?"

"Alright, alright! A mascot, huh! Can I get a dozen of such mascots?"

"I think I found a business opportunity. If I make a batch of Dr. Chen plush dolls, would I make a lot of money?"

"First, tell me, what is a plush doll?!"

"..."

—

Having been in the profession for many years.

Even so.

Chen Mu, who didn’t manage to get off work, was full of resentment at this moment.

But a few seconds later, Chen Mu managed to cheer himself up.

He is a school doctor at Hai City University, and since the fragile students need him, it only proves that he is destined to be busy.

After calming himself down.

Chen Mu found the phone number of the patient’s friend in his WeChat conversation with Zheng Xin.

He dialed it.

After it connected.

Chen Mu said: "Hi, student, I’m the school doctor from the school clinic. I’m Chen Mu."

"Dr. Chen! Jiaojiao, it’s Dr. Chen here to help you!"

"Your eyes will definitely be saved!"

Chen Mu was just about to warn the student on the other end not to overstate his abilities.

He’s just a regular doctor, not as miraculous as the internet claims.

But listening to the girl’s excited voice, Chen Mu swallowed back the words he was about to say.

Chen Mu: "Student, before your friend suddenly went blind, were you with her the whole time?"

The girl on the other end quickly replied: "Yes, Dr. Chen."

"We are best friends from high school, and very lucky to have gotten into the same university, same major, and even the same dorm."

Chen Mu: "That’s a great friendship. From school uniform to the workplace, not everyone has that."

"Hehe..." With just a couple of comforting words, the girl who was initially panicked calmed down bit by bit.

After giggling a bit.

She continued: "Speaking of which, when school started this year, she was so excited in the dorm. We never thought we’d actually end up in the same dorm."

This year when school started?

Hearing the girl, Chen Mu quickly extracted useful information from her story.

"So, you and your friend, participated in military training today, right?"

The girl on the other end instinctively nodded, but after realizing the doctor couldn’t see her nod, eagerly said "Yes."

She continued to share: "Yes, both of us participated in today’s military training."

Chen Mu frowned slightly: "Do you remember what military training activities you did today?"

"Let me think..."

"There was marching, running, and sit-ups?"

"We didn’t really do much standing at attention; those took up most of our training."

"Huh?"

"Dr. Chen, why did you suddenly ask about our military training?"

"Are you suspecting that my friend’s blindness is caused by excessive military training?"

"Though I’m not a fan of military training myself, I feel it’s necessary to say that our instructor was very responsible. As soon as someone felt unwell, they advised us to report to the school hospital."

Chen Mu: "..."

Guess, do I like hearing this?

"Also, the two of us did the same military training, and we’re about the same fitness."

"If the military training really was the issue, I might be blind too!"

Listening to the endless chatter from the other end, Chen Mu felt a bit helpless.

Once again he spoke; "Student, I didn’t mean that, you’re overthinking it."

"Please recall carefully, after the military training ended, did your friend do anything else?"

Saying this.

Yet Chen Mu opened his little notebook with one hand.

He wrote down a line.

"Patient experienced blindness, had undergone intense exercise beforehand."

"What else?"

The girl on the other end fell into recalling.

Then.

She gave a rundown of their schedule like a stream of consciousness.

"Not much really."

"We were both exhausted after military training, so we thought of having a meal then going back to the dorm to sleep."

"We both got bubble tea and ordered spicy hot pot at the cafeteria."

"Oh! Right, while we were waiting for our hot pot, my roommate opened your livestream show, Dr. Chen. She was watching the part where a student fell from the fourth floor because they forgot their key."

"She was laughing so happily and told me how silly that student was, and then..."

"She suddenly panicked and told me she couldn’t see."

Upfront, Mu Yao, listening to Chen Mu’s speakerphone.

Unconsciously blurted: "Dr. Chen, did she go blind because she watched your show?"

Chen Mu: "???"
