University Doctor and His Fragile Patients

Chapter 598 - 471: A Strange Way to Fall Asleep—Is This Even Possible? (Part 2)

Listening to Chen Mu’s rather earnest explanation.

Zhuang Ruoruo just nodded a bit bitterly, then looked at Chen Mu expectantly: "Dr. Chen, why not prescribe some calming herbal medicine for me? You said I can’t continue taking sleeping pills, but melatonin doesn’t have much effect on me anymore."

The girl hung her head.

Her disappointed look successfully won the sympathy of the livestream audience.

—

"The girl has spoken up, of course, give her the herbal medicine!"

"???"

"Is she just a simple girl? She’s been gulping down melatonin by the bottle!"

"But maybe she’s consuming so much melatonin just because she can’t sleep. Since Dr. Chen is the school doctor at Hai City University, isn’t it Dr. Chen’s responsibility to help Zhuang Ruoruo?"

"The prerequisite for Dr. Chen to help is that it should be a condition he can treat, right? Hyperthymesia, a condition even more skilled doctors can’t solve, how can you expect a school doctor to handle it?"

"Exactly, no matter how good Dr. Chen is, he’s just a school doctor!"

"Oh, now you realize Dr. Chen is just a school doctor! But back when some people were boasting about him as a miracle doctor, they didn’t realize he was just a school doctor!"

"Calming herbal tea seems to be even less effective than melatonin and sleeping pills. Why does Zhuang Ruoruo want it? It won’t be of any use."

"..."

—

Chen Mu frowned.

Looking at Zhuang Ruoruo, "In your current condition, drinking calming herbal tea won’t have a bad reaction, but it won’t improve your sleep either."

Zhuang Ruoruo’s problem.

Is an overactive brain.

Zhuang Ruoruo nodded, "I know that."

Chen Mu frowned, continued to ask, "Since you know, why do you still want calming herbal tea? Medicines are like poisons with three parts!"

"If you don’t really need herbal medicine, I don’t recommend taking it."

Some people genuinely need medicine to improve their health.

They can naturally get a prescription and go back to get the medicine.

But.

There are people who don’t reach the level where they need herbal medicine.

Their issues can be greatly relieved by adjusting their schedule and improving their lifestyle habits.

For Chen Mu.

Zhuang Ruoruo seems to be in this category.

"But, Dr. Chen, I..."

Zhuang Ruoruo hesitated, then said, "Taking some medicine before bed to induce sleep has become a habit."

"Now I can’t take what I’ve been usually taking, if you don’t prescribe something else, I might not be able to sleep."

Chen Mu sighed.

Just as he was about to have a good talk with Zhuang Ruoruo,

he heard retching sounds from the hallway.

Chen Mu’s face changed, wondering if there was a collective outbreak of disease.

Suddenly.

A stench wafted into the clinic.

"Yuck!" Everyone present involuntarily gagged.

Chen Mu, who couldn’t take it, put on a mask.

Even then.

He couldn’t block out the smell.

At this moment.

Two retching boys forcibly dragged a male student into the clinic.

The student being dragged occasionally made indescribable sounds.

After a brief moment of disbelief,

Chen Mu opened the window and came to a shocking conclusion.

The sudden bad smell in the room might be caused by that guy’s fart.

—

"Huh? I remember Dr. Chen was already retching before the guy even came in!"

"Someone entered and the fart smell came first? Is there such a dramatic move?"

"Inconceivable, but given it’s Hai City University, anything seems possible."

"My wife ran out of the livestream screen, her face white as she left, how bad could the odor be?"

"Wow! If I drive to Hai City’s university clinic now, can I still catch that weird smell? Kind of tempted to try."

"????"

"Where’s the admin, I think this chat is dirty! Clean it up!"

"Respect everyone’s interests!"

"Not respecting this one bit!"

"This is one smelly comment, yuck!"

"..."

—

"Dr. Chen, let’s be brief."

"Our roommate started to fart frequently about twenty minutes ago, and it’s super smelly."

"We couldn’t stand the stench, so we dragged him here to see if he’s sick, yuck!"

One of the boys spoke, almost holding his breath.

But when he ran out of breath, the smell entered his nose and he gagged again.

The other boy who brought the patient also quickly spoke, "Dr. Chen, the patient is here, what happens next isn’t something we as students can handle, so we’re leaving!"

Saying this,

these two Wolong and Fengchu didn’t even give Chen Mu a chance.

They left the patient in the room and hurriedly ran away.

Chen Mu: "..."

Even a school doctor’s life matters!!!

Seeing the few intern doctors and videographers gagging and rolling their eyes,

Chen Mu opened a window for ventilation and turned on the air purifier in the clinic.

The smell in the room barely improved.

Chen Mu began to check the patient’s pulse.

Soon, he let go and told the patient: "You just have a simple digestive issue, didn’t you have a painful gas buildup recently, so you took something for it."

"Like lactulose?"

The patient, also gagging from his own stench,

nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, I took lactulose, Dr. Chen, is my condition serious, yuck!"

"It’s been almost half an hour, I can hardly stand it myself!"

"Do I need to call 120, am I headed for ICU?!"

Thinking his condition might be severe,

the flatulent patient was aggrieved to the point of tears.

Chen Mu sighed, helplessly said, "You’re actually quite healthy right now, there’s nothing I need to treat you for."

"You’ve had chronic constipation with gas buildup, now you’re in the exhaust phase, which is good."

"Go somewhere less populated where you won’t bother others to pass gas, continue taking your lactulose and drink plenty of warm water, you’ll be fine."

Listening to Chen Mu’s simple diagnosis.

The patient looked at Chen Mu with complete disbelief, "Just take lactulose and drink more warm water?"

"Dr. Chen, shouldn’t you take a closer look at me?"

"You’re not just trying to rush me out because my farts stink, right?"

—

"Honestly, I feel like the patient, seems like Dr. Chen is trying to kick him out."

"Actually, this is normal, patients who haven’t passed gas for a long time suddenly doing so are really smelly, trapped gas is a major issue."

"And if you look closely, the patient is quite chubby, and the belly is unnaturally large, so before releasing gas, it looked even bigger."

"His priority is gas release, Dr. Chen’s diagnosis isn’t wrong."

"Dr. Chen made the diagnosis after checking the pulse, so there’s really no need to doubt him."

"..."

—

Hearing the patient’s doubts,

Chen Mu was more helpless.

He had no idea what these fragile students were thinking.

Sighed and said, "If you continue to release gas here, it might burden others’ respiratory systems, and besides others, you yourself can’t stand the smell either, go to the small forest behind and release gas, nature’s scents might neutralize some of the stench."

"Looking at beautiful nature might even help you pass gas more smoothly."

The patient was about to complain whether this was how Dr. Chen utilized nature, when he suddenly saw.

Zhuang Ruoruo, standing beside Chen Mu, suddenly weakened and fell back.

The patient instinctively widened his eyes, covering his mouth.

Oh no!

Could it be that his stinky fart just killed his fellow student?!!!
