University Doctor and His Fragile Patients-Chapter 88 - 87: If Mushrooms Can Grow on the Bed, Why Can’t Ginseng Grow at Hai City University? (Double-Length)

"..."

—

Behind Chen Mu.

Su Bingbing, who understood what Chen Mu meant, had a slightly complex expression.

She whispered, "It shouldn't be... that unlucky, right..."

She uttered these words to comfort Chen Mu.

But in reality.

Even Su Bingbing didn't believe in her own words of comfort to Chen Mu.

At another school, students might not be so unlucky.

But at Hai City University...

Anything could happen.

"Ding dong—"

As soon as the WeChat notification sound came from Chen Mu's phone, Su Bingbing fell silent.

The cameraman carrying the camera wanted to capture Chen Mu's phone screen.

After seeing the few pictures on the phone clearly.

Chen Mu fell into silence, turned his head to see the camera that was about to hit him.

He sighed helplessly.

He raised the phone and showed it to the audience in the live stream.

A few pictures that He Xingchen just sent over.

—

"???"

"My goodness, is it really American Pokeweed? Hai City University is seriously bizarre?"

"What you fear indeed comes true, if someone really dies from this, Hai City University will be in huge trouble!"

"Hiss! The principal has already fallen, I suddenly want to ask, how's the vice principal's heart?"

"Vice principal: My heart was fine, now suddenly it's not so good!"

"..."

—

Realizing that the audience in the live stream might have seen the content in the pictures clearly.

Chen Mu didn't waste any time.

He found the call log on his phone and dialed back.

"He Xingchen, what your three roommates ate is likely American Pokeweed."

He Xingchen didn't hear the explanation before from Chen Mu.

He was stunned when he suddenly heard such a statement: "American Pokeweed? What is that?"

Chen Mu sighed, "You don't need to know what it is, you just need to know that it looks a lot like ginseng, but it's definitely not ginseng."

"Also, this stuff is highly toxic!"

"Go find two students in the next dorm and have them go to your dorm to constantly check that your three roommates are still alive."

He Xingchen: "What about me? Dr. Chen, what can I do to help them?"

Chen Mu: "You go downstairs now, I'll notify the campus hospital ambulance to head to your dorm; once they arrive, you'll lead them to carry people upstairs."

"Your three roommates need to be sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped."

"After you hang up later, find time to call your advisor and have them also go to the hospital, understand?"

He Xingchen responded seriously on the phone: "Dr. Chen, I got it!"

"A few friends were just in our dorm, they said they'll help me watch over my roommates, and I'm already heading downstairs now."

"But there's one thing, it's unlikely I'll succeed, our advisor usually doesn't care about our matters, what if I contact her and she doesn't go to the hospital?"

Chen Mu's expression was not pleasant, "This is a matter of life and death!"

"If your advisor really doesn't go, you'll contact me, and the school will have a talk with your advisor."

He Xingchen: "Thank you, Dr. Chen, with your words, I'm relieved!"

On the other end of the phone.

He Xingchen joyfully hung up the phone.

Behind Chen Mu.

Su Bingbing, who had been listening to the phone call between He Xingchen and Chen Mu, silently wiped the sweat from her forehead when she heard He Xingchen's last two sentences.

One wonders if He Xingchen's advisor, upon hearing that conversation, would also break out in a sweat.

He Xingchen effectively portrayed her advisor as an irresponsible figure to a national audience!

—

"Driver Liu, hello, this is Chen Mu from the campus medical office."

"A few female students in the dorm encountered food poisoning, could you please send three ambulances to the girls' dorm to pick them up directly to the hospital for stomach pumping?"

"Alright, thank you."

After hanging up the phone.

Chen Mu gave He Xingchen another call.

He explained that everything had been arranged, and He Xingchen just needed to obediently wait downstairs for the campus hospital vehicle to pick them up.

Ignoring He Xingchen's grateful words over the phone.

Chen Mu hung up the phone. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

He turned to look at Driver He beside him, "Old He, let's go straight back to the campus medical office, no need to go to the girls' dorm anymore."

Su Bingbing from the back row silently leaned forward, "Dr. Chen, aren't you going to check on those girls who mistakenly ingested pokeweed?"

"In the past, you'd always go personally, wouldn't you?"

Chen Mu sighed.

"Based on He Xingchen's description, although those girls have fallen asleep, their vital signs are relatively stable."

"This means that although they mistakenly ingested American Pokeweed and experienced food poisoning, their condition isn't life-threatening."

"The most important point is..."

Chen Mu pointed to the still congested road ahead of them.

With a helpless face, he said, "Given this traffic situation, the school's ambulance might have reached the hospital with the students before we even get to the school entrance..."

Su Bingbing: "..."

—

"Hiss! Those also stuck in the morning rush hour traffic are starting to feel a toothache now!"

"School: These aren't just students, they're like our living ancestors!"

"Suddenly, I feel like I've learned something new in this live stream, I only knew Polygonum multiflorum was toxic, didn't know there were domestic and foreign species."

"If we buy some domestic Polygonum multiflorum, can we eat it like ginseng? It's cheaper?"

"Isn't there a chance that some shady vendors are selling foreign Pokeweed claiming it's the domestic kind?"

"This stuff, not recommended for those unable to distinguish to buy, or running into a counterfeit could cost you your life..."

"Is there actually counterfeit of such stuff?"

"Everything's possible..."

"..."

—

"Dr. Chen, do you think when we get back, the medical office will..."

Su Bingbing only got as far as starting her sentence.

Before Chen Mu in the front seat, as though jolted by electricity, jumped up from the passenger seat.

Had it not been for the seatbelt restraining him, Chen Mu might have lunged into the rear compartment.

"Reporter Su, shut up!"

Su Bingbing clapped a hand over her mouth, "Dr. Chen, I wasn't going to say anything bad..."

Chen Mu shook his head anxiously, "No! Good or bad, neither can be mentioned!"

"Patient arrivals at hospitals are a superstitious matter, you can't mention good things or bad things."

"Only if you neither think nor talk about it, is there a chance of peace..."

Really?

Given the situation at Hai City University, is there really a chance for peace?

Though this was whirling in Su Bingbing's mind.

She also understood.

Chen Mu currently couldn't handle any stimulation at all.

She quietly shut her mouth.

Gestured a zip-up motion at Chen Mu.

Indicating that she won't say anything regarding the school clinic anymore.

Seeing Su Bingbing behave like this, Chen Mu's expression softened slightly.

Driver He almost burst out laughing, "Reporter Su, don't take offense, Dr. Chen has a reason for his agitation."

"The situation now is unusual, today is university student military training."

"At this time last year, there were plenty of medical staff at the school, do you know when they all resigned?"

Su Bingbing shook her head, "No..."

Driver He laughed heartily, "After last year's military training ended, all the medical staff at the campus medical office submitted their resignations. The school tried to retain them but failed and finally had to approve."

"But what's interesting is!"

"None of these people informed Dr. Chen before they resigned!"

"So by the time Dr. Chen realized, and went to submit his resignation, the school rejected it!"

"Our school principal said, the campus medical office can't be left with no medical staff at all, Dr. Chen even if he wants to resign, must wait until new medical staff are hired."

"Guess what happened!"

"Hahahahaha!!!"

"Guess what, even now, the school hasn't hired any new medical staff!"

"In the whole medical office, it's just poor Dr. Chen left!"

Chen Mu clenched his fists silently, feeling itchy-handed, wondering if he could punch the driver?

Brewing emotions to fight with Old He.

Suddenly.

The phone's ringtone went off again.

Chen Mu lowered his eyes.

It was He Xingchen again!
