Chapter 442 - 362: One Diagnosis Sends the Whole Family to the Hospital?
"Could I ask, after you ate the chicken tenders, what was your stool like?"
Chen Mu’s words had just left his mouth.
The girl’s eyes widened involuntarily.
While she was still considering how to answer Chen Mu’s awkward question,
she suddenly saw a sea of white, a group of people in white coats gathering around.
The interns from Hai City University of Traditional Medicine were looking at the girl’s eyes with shining interest.
One of them, quick to speak,
already asked, "Dr. Chen, why are you suddenly asking such a question? Does this student have some hidden illness that we haven’t detected?"
"That shouldn’t be the case, right? We’ve all checked this student’s pulse. Even if one person is not skilled enough, it can’t be that all of our skills are lacking."
"Stop talking, stop talking. If our skills are really all in question, we’d be embarrassing the school this time!"
Listening to the discussion behind him, which they thought was quiet,
Chen Mu sighed lightly.
With some helplessness, he nodded, "Indeed, there might be a possibility of misdiagnosis with this student’s condition."
Really misdiagnosed?
The white coats, who had been full of curiosity just moments ago,
began to look a bit serious after hearing Chen Mu’s words.
Possible misdiagnosis.
And actual occurrence of misdiagnosis have a big difference.
The interns looked at each other,
all thinking,
if they hadn’t been cautious enough to let Chen Mu check their diagnosis,
what could have been the unpredictable consequences for the patient if they followed through with their original treatment plan.
Such speculations,
just appearing in the minds of the white coats,
made them feel particularly terrified.
They are angels in white.
They want to save people...
"I just had diarrhea, but I always feel like there’s a lot that hasn’t come out yet."
The girl spoke cautiously,
grabbing the hem of her clothes,
occasionally looking at Chen Mu with eyes full of undisguised panic.
After all, she is a university student who hasn’t yet graduated.
Even though she likes excitement on ordinary days,
how could she possibly stay calm when something actually happens to her?
Looking at the cautious gaze of the girl, Chen Mu sighed, "If you don’t give more specific details, it’s really hard for me to help you."
"How about this, if you don’t know how to describe it, I’ll ask, and you answer, okay?"
Chen Mu knew.
Actually, many patients sometimes don’t want to be uncooperative with doctors.
Instead, they can’t give reasonable answers because they are too anxious.
Just like when he worked in the emergency department before.
Faced with such patients,
Chen Mu always tried to calm his tone as much as possible,
using his best voice to guide the patients.
"Okay, Dr. Chen," the girl nodded stiffly,
not even knowing how to place her hands and feet.
Chen Mu: "Before you experienced constipation, did your bowel movements become more frequent?"
Chen Mu’s question.
Was something the girl hadn’t considered.
After recalling carefully for a moment, she looked at Chen Mu and asked, "Dr. Chen, this frequent bowel movements you talked about, does it have a time frame?"
Chen Mu: "Within six months, it counts."
Such a long timeline?
The girl started to carefully recall her bowel movements in the past six months.
What she didn’t notice was that,
when Chen Mu mentioned six months,
the expressions of the group of white coats behind him had become slightly peculiar.
—
"Hey everyone in the bullet chat, it’s your time to shine! Is there a problem with this six-month timeline?"
"I don’t know, but generally speaking, diseases with long timelines are usually hard to cure once discovered."
"Since you put it that way, I understand now, 120 units!"
"ER unit here!"
"ICU unit here!"
"This girl might just add a legendary Chapter to the history of Hai City’s feng shui!"
"You guys understand feng shui..."
"..."
—
The girl was still earnestly recalling her experiences over the past six months.
Chen Mu noticed the atmosphere around him felt a bit off, turned around and saw a group of dejected white coats.
He smiled slightly, "Actually, according to strict standards, your diagnosis cannot really be called a misdiagnosis."
"The girl indeed has acute gastroenteritis caused by eating fried chicken tenders, at least the diagnosis of acute gastroenteritis was correct."
"It’s just that you failed to notice the other underlying conditions hidden beneath the acute gastroenteritis."
Upon hearing that they hadn’t misdiagnosed,
the group of white coats behind Chen Mu did not feel relieved by his comforting words.
On the contrary,
the atmosphere among them turned even more serious.
One of the white coats sighed, "Dr. Chen, logically speaking, we should be happy since there was no misdiagnosis, but the problem is..."
The white coat glanced at the fellow interns beside him,
took a deep breath.
And still, mustered the courage,
to voice his thoughts, "The problem is, even with so many of us here, we couldn’t detect the hidden conditions beneath the acute gastroenteritis. Doesn’t that indirectly show that our current skill level hasn’t reached the stage where we can graduate yet?"
Unlike Hai City Medical University.
Hai City Medical University’s interns, volunteering to intern at Hai City University,
but...
The group of interns from Hai City University of Traditional Medicine were all top students in their school.
