University Doctor and His Fragile Patients

Chapter 455 - 373: Initial Suspicion—Alzheimer’s Disease!

With Chen Mu appearing in the field of vision of this group of white coats.

The intern doctors.

It was as if they saw a rare savior.

One by one.

All of them looked eagerly at Chen Mu.

Chen Mu sighed, said nothing.

He took the examination results handed over by an eager intern doctor.

After looking at them for a while.

He squatted in front of the girl, "Classmate, open your smartphone memo, see if you’ve left any clues related to amnesia for yourself."

"Oh, oh..."

The girl nodded and then unlocked her phone.

Click—

"Ahhh!!! My leg!!!"

At the moment the girl lowered her head.

Chen Mu quickly reached out.

The girl’s leg bone, reset.

—

"Whew! I’ve watched it many times, but every time Dr. Chen performs a reset for these fragile college students, I feel like my leg hurts a little too..."

"Mainly because Dr. Chen’s speed is too fast, giving no time for psychological preparation."

"Is there a possibility that many treatment methods aren’t that painful; it’s just that you’ve scared yourself by overthinking it?"

"Really?"

"Not necessarily, every time I get blood drawn, I, as a big man, get scared and shiver all over, that needle really hurts!"

"I can only say, some people have more sensitive pain nerves."

"..."

—

"Doctor, can’t you be a little gentler?"

The patient’s physiological tears fell as she looked at Chen Mu.

Biting her lower lip tightly.

Looked really pitiful.

But as her gaze fell on her phone, she froze.

As the girl’s tears flowed more and more.

Chen Mu: "Is it the content that the non-amnesiac you recorded on it?"

The girl was dazed for a moment.

As if she finally snapped back to reality.

She wiped her tears, "Dr. Chen, could a doctor accompany me to my dorm room to retrieve my medical records from the hospital?"

"I originally came back this time to take a leave of absence from school."

But on the way.

She forgot.

And thought she was here to attend school, muddled, and went to military training.

Chen Mu handed the girl a tissue, gently asking: "Could you tell me what illness you have?"

The girl’s lips were still trembling: "I... have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease..."

—

"Alzheimer’s disease? Is it commonly known as senile dementia? How can such a young girl have this illness?"

"To be precise, Alzheimer’s is a type of senile dementia, which includes Alzheimer’s but is not limited to it."

"Alzheimer’s is also one of the conditions that has been increasingly affecting younger people in recent years; the scary part is, this disease is irreversible..."

"What does irreversible mean? Such a young girl has Alzheimer’s, and it can’t be cured?"

"Perhaps it can’t be cured elsewhere, but it might be possible with Dr. Chen? Dr. Chen is truly impressive..."

"Some people in the bullet comments, please stop saying such killing-with-praise words. If Dr. Chen could really treat Alzheimer’s, he would make a name in medical history. Even Dr. Chen wouldn’t dare nod to what you suggest."

"Sometimes, we still have to admit the insignificance of humanity. There are indeed many complex diseases that we cannot conquer now."

"In fact, many well-known research teams are already studying Alzheimer’s treatments. I believe one day in the future, there will be a breakthrough."

"..."

—

Facing Chen Mu’s obviously somewhat shocked gaze.

The girl wiped her tears and continued, "In my phone’s memo, I wrote precautions for myself, who could forget things at any time."

"Dr. Chen, I’m already a junior, yet today I went to military training. This morning, I really thought I was a freshman at school."

Chen Mu: "..."

Looking at the girl crying before him.

Chen Mu really wanted to comfort her with a few words.

However...

He also knew clearly in his heart.

In the face of real illness, no matter what kind of comfort it is, it’s all void.

With a disease like Alzheimer’s.

The girl’s future life.

Can only be a path of regression.

Chen Mu sighed, "So, now that your injuries have been mostly treated, Dr. Mu and I will accompany you to get your case files."

"Is your Alzheimer’s in the early stage, or...?"

The girl: "It’s early-stage."

Chen Mu sighed again.

He suspected as much—early stage.

The girl in front of him, although a bit confused, hadn’t yet faced difficulty in expression.

Alzheimer’s disease.

The early stage symptoms mainly include memory loss, lack of clarity about recent events, but clear memory of past events.

In daily life.

Generally, self-sufficiency is possible.

However, in the middle stages, patients gradually exhibit emotional disturbances and abnormal behavior.

Expression difficulties, decreased logical ability, and even...

A small number of patients.

May experience delusions and hallucinations.

And when Alzheimer’s reaches a severe stage.

It is the state of senile dementia familiar to many, where patients may even lose the ability to care for themselves.

Facing Chen Mu’s kindness.

At this moment, the girl didn’t even have the mood to express gratitude, she just silently told Chen Mu her dormitory building and room number.

Then quietly followed behind Chen Mu and Mu Yao.

Leaving the school clinic.

"How long have you been diagnosed? Early-stage Alzheimer’s can be controlled. Although it can’t be cured, it can slow the progression of the disease."

Chen Mu genuinely cared for this student.

Alzheimer’s, if there’s no medical intervention.

In three to five years.

It can very quickly progress to severe Alzheimer’s.

But this girl in front.

Is only about twenty years old.

If in her early twenties, she can’t care for herself.

Then, for a family, it could become a burden and disaster.

These words.

Though unpleasant.

Are the truth.

The girl wiped the tears from her face, "Doctor, I came back to school to handle my leave of absence, planning to go to the Imperial Capital for treatment."

"My family heard that there was a research institute in the Imperial Capital that published a paper on the possibility of curing Alzheimer’s."

"It is said that the research institute may already have a sliver of possibility for curing Alzheimer’s, and our whole family wants to try our luck."

"This time, I came to school myself because my parents went to resign from their jobs to take me for treatment, I am burdening them."

Saying this.

The girl couldn’t control it anymore, tears falling like rain.

Parents in the country often say.

Once their children graduate from college, they can feel at ease for the rest of their life.

But her?

She felt like an unfilial daughter.

Managed to reach her junior year, only to get this illness.

She could be indifferent to it herself.

But her parents...

Facing a daughter who can’t care for herself, how difficult it would be for them...
