University Doctor and His Fragile Patients

Chapter 636 - 490: The School Clinic Treats Paronychia? This Is Cheaper Than a Pedicure Shop!

Words were on the tip of her tongue.

Su Bingbing suddenly had a delayed realization.

Maybe...

It actually could??

Not long ago, she had just finished questioning Chen Mu.

There was a patient downstairs calling for help.

Thinking of this.

Su Bingbing felt a little guilty and made a lip-zipping gesture.

Only then did Chen Mu retract his gaze from Su Bingbing.

Continuing to watch the variety show.

While Su Bingbing quietly sat beside Chen Mu.

Accompanying him in watching the show.

Occasionally, a few intern doctors came in to ask Chen Mu some questions, none of which were about serious conditions.

Seeing Chen Mu yawn once more.

Su Bingbing suggested, "Dr. Chen, there’s nothing urgent at the moment, why not take a break in the adjacent rest room? If a real emergency arises, the other intern doctors will surely come find you."

As soon as Su Bingbing finished speaking.

She saw Chen Mu looking at her with a slightly terrified look.

Su Bingbing: "!!!"

Even though Su Bingbing considered herself to have seen all sorts of situations on variety shows.

But right now.

When she met Chen Mu’s seemingly terrified eyes, she couldn’t help but feel a little flustered.

She smiled awkwardly, "I didn’t just say something, did I... it shouldn’t be that bad..."

Su Bingbing laughed awkwardly.

Chen Mu frantically waved his hands, "It’s not that bad, it’s not that bad..."

With that.

Chen Mu rushed into the adjacent rest room as if escaping.

After quickly changing into his four-piece outfit.

He lay down to rest his eyes, preparing for a nap.

But he didn’t know if it was an auditory hallucination, he kept feeling like he heard rapid footsteps??

Bam—

The door to Chen Mu’s rest room was violently pushed open from the outside.

Su Bingbing rushed in with a face full of panic, "Dr. Chen, four male students in the dormitory of Building One have carbon monoxide poisoning, the security personnel on campus are already extinguishing the fire, but the patients..."

Chen Mu: "!!!"

Not even wearing his shoes properly, Chen Mu slipped them on and grabbed his medical kit, rushing out the door.

In the campus hospital.

There were many intern doctors like Chen Mu, all rushing out with the same urgency and panic.

Chen Mu shouted as he ran out, "Why would there be carbon monoxide poisoning in the school dormitories when there’s no gas line?"

Before Su Bingbing could explain, Chen Mu asked again, "Reporter Su, who called the campus hospital, and is the caller still at the accident site?"

Su Bingbing followed Chen Mu onto the campus ambulance.

At this moment.

Su Bingbing once again acted as Chen Mu’s assistant.

Su Bingbing: "The call was from He Congming, he returned to his dormitory and discovered suspicious smoke from the next-door dormitory, likely a fire."

"Luckily, they are familiar with the dorm next door, so they didn’t have to wait for the fire brigade to break in. He Congming used a spare key left with them by the next-door dormitory to open the door."

"Some students somehow got a charcoal grill, having a barbecue inside."

Chen Mu: "!!!"

Are those students idiots?!!

Are they out of their minds!!!

Su Bingbing: "Not only did they have an open fire barbecue in the dorm, but they also closed all the windows and doors, which caused the carbon monoxide poisoning..."

Chen Mu: "!!!"

—

"Shouldn’t we be thankful for Da Congming this time? If Da Congming hadn’t noticed something was wrong with their dorm, there could have been fatalities at Hai City University this time..."

"Sealed windows and doors, using charcoal for barbecue, I cannot believe these are university students acting this recklessly?!"

"I’ve done the same when I was in grad school; sometimes people do lose sense, and what’s more terrifying is when a group of senseless people gather together."

"Dr. Chen mentioned they could add He Congming as a friend, knowing it might come in handy. I thought it was too much credit for He Congming at the time, but now I realize, He Congming’s worth is continually rising!"

"He Congming: So now you all acknowledge my worth!"

"..."

—

"Was it indeed He Congming who made the call?"

Chen Mu nodded.

Without continuing the conversation with Su Bingbing, he found He Congming’s WeChat on his phone.

Then.

He made a call through WeChat.

"He Congming, are you at the accident site now?"

He Congming: "I am, Dr. Chen. The campus security took pictures for evidence and are clearing the charcoal and flammable materials from the scene."

"We are also airing out the rooms and evacuating people around."

Listening to him say this, the previously uptight Chen Mu.

Somehow felt reassured.

He Congming: "We’ve also carried the patients down to the first floor. It might be a bit hotter outside, but the ventilation is better. For carbon monoxide poisoning, they need fresh air, right?"

Just hearing those words from He Congming.

Even Chen Mu needed a moment to look at him anew.

His tone had a little more praise, "He Congming, you’re doing very well. Are you still in the dormitory or by the patients?"

He Congming: "Dr. Chen, I’m right by the patients. I figured that if the situation turns critical, we should be able to respond immediately."

"There’re lots of onlookers, so with so many eyes, they shouldn’t die here!"

Chen Mu: "Check the respirations and heartbeats of the four patients to see if they’re normal."

He Congming: "Their breathing and heartbeats are all present. I borrowed some fitness trackers at the scene and put them on the patients. So far, I can confirm that all their heart rates are normal, and I can feel their respiration with my hand."

Chen Mu: "Well done, He Congming."

—

"I was just wondering how someone without medical training can check if a patient’s heartbeat is normal, but then Da Congming used fitness trackers and totally surprised me!"

"To be fair, Da Congming is quite competent when he isn’t leading others into trouble!"

"Clear logical thinking and organizational skills—Da Congming might really be somebody in the future."

"With all this capability, could Da Congming fail to get into a grad program at Hai City University?"

"He’s so impressive, surely he can go straight through to a Ph.D. program!"

"And having completed his Ph.D., he’ll surely stay at the university as a faculty member."

"Dr. Chen, deceased!"

"..."

—

Chen Mu was unaware that in a brief instant, the bystanders in the chat had started making jokes again in the barrage.

Meanwhile, he solemnly instructed, "He Congming, there should be many people at the site who can help you. Before we arrive, please ensure the four patients are placed in the lateral recumbent position, not supine."

"Okay, Dr. Chen. I’ll let you know once it’s done."

Even though He Congming didn’t understand the difference between supine and lateral recumbent positions for carbon monoxide poisoning patients.

Just hearing Chen Mu’s serious tone, he could tell it was crucial for the patients.

Thus, he didn’t hang up the call.

But hurriedly called for help.

In the past.

He Congming was clearly considered the least reliable person in the eyes of the campus hospital doctors.

After all, he incited many with a light bulb.

Intern doctors in the campus hospital once complained about almost numbing their hands from knocking light bulbs.

But now.

The one organizing other students to help the patients and doctors, observing patients’ condition—

Turned out to be the very He Congming they once deemed unreliable.

Su Bingbing sat beside Chen Mu, listening to the conversation between them, found it astonishing.

A little more than a minute later.

He Congming’s voice came from the phone, "Dr. Chen, all four students are now in the lateral recumbent position, but..."

His voice started to carry a hint of terror.
