University Doctor and His Fragile Patients

Chapter 457 - 375: If I Leave Early, My Parents Can Start Leveling Alts Sooner Too!

"At least, I can free myself before I lose the ability to take care of myself."

Listening to Liu Ruyan.

Chen Mu moved his lips, but when it came time to speak, he fell silent again.

He knew.

He should try to persuade this young girl, but when it came time to speak, Chen Mu realized he didn’t know what to say to her at a moment like this.

And Liu Ruyan.

At this point, she just smiled, "Maybe after I’m gone, they can start fresh or just go out and enjoy their golden years."

"In fact, it’s me being alive that’s a disaster for them."

—

"Wasn’t Dr. Chen quite eloquent in front of the camera before? Why can’t he manage to offer even a few comforting words to this patient?"

"Easy to say. If you were Liu Ruyan, would you feel better just because someone comforted you?"

"Having gone through something big, I’ve realized that during such times, any comforting words from others are empty. Say too much, and it actually puts more psychological pressure on the person being comforted. Dr. Chen’s silence is actually appropriate."

"But Liu Ruyan is just in her early twenties..."

"It’s cruel, but if you go to the hospital’s leukemia ward, you’ll find many patients even younger than Liu Ruyan..."

"But Alzheimer’s disease is really rare at Liu Ruyan’s age."

"Sigh..."

—

"You can leave, but don’t consider ending your life. If you do, you’ll be your parents’ nightmare forever."

After watching Liu Ruyan for a while, Chen Mu spoke.

Liu Ruyan’s lips curled into a gentle smile, and she nodded, "I know, I was just speaking hypothetically. Dr. Chen, just pretend I never said those things."

Chen Mu looked at Liu Ruyan.

Feeling that even though she was smiling, the smile was only on the surface.

Thinking to himself.

The school should still contact Liu Ruyan’s parents.

So they can pay attention to Liu Ruyan’s mental state while treating her illness.

When Dr. Ye He Ye comes to see Zhuang Ruoruo, he can take the opportunity to ask about Liu Ruyan’s condition.

"We’re here. You and Dr. Mu go up and get the materials."

Once Mu Yao and Liu Ruyan got out of the car.

Chen Mu began drafting a message on his phone to report Liu Ruyan’s situation to Secretary Lu.

If possible.

Liu Ruyan needs special attention from the school.

Driver He in the front seat leaned against his seat, his eyes fixed on Chen Mu, "Dr. Chen, what illness does that female student have?"

"Didn’t you say earlier that the patient isn’t in any immediate danger?"

"So why, by the end, is the girl considering taking experimental drugs? Is it some incurable disease?"

Chen Mu raised his eyes.

Meeting Driver He’s curious gaze.

He couldn’t help but sigh again, "Alzheimer’s. You’ve probably heard of it."

Upon hearing this.

Driver He was inevitably shocked for a moment, looking at Chen Mu in disbelief, "Alzheimer’s? Isn’t that what we often call senile dementia?"

Chen Mu nodded, "That’s a way to understand it..."

After hearing Chen Mu’s answer.

Driver He’s reaction was even more shocked, "But the girl is so young. How could she have this disease?"

Chen Mu rubbed his chin, "There are many causes of Alzheimer’s. For example, heredity. If someone in the family has had Alzheimer’s, the descendants have a certain chance of inheriting it."

—

"I was watching the stream and feeling sorry for Liu Ruyan. Now, I’m just chilled to the bone. Alzheimer’s is hereditary? My grandfather has Alzheimer’s!"

"How can you not be chilled? Many families have a history of Alzheimer’s, right?! Is there a way to prevent it? I’d love to know!"

"Heredity should be just one factor, right? There must be other factors causing Alzheimer’s?"

"So, Alzheimer’s can’t be cured, but is there a way to prevent it? I really need to know, waiting online, urgent!"

"Frankly, so far, there’s no real way to prevent Alzheimer’s, so..."

"So? Families with a history of Alzheimer’s can’t do anything for themselves and just have to wait for an outbreak to find out?"

"Sorry to tell you, but yes, that’s the situation so far..."

"Some people just watch a stream at home and feel utterly hopeless, boohoo..."

"..."

—

Listening to Chen Mu, Driver He showed a contemplative expression.

"Dr. Chen, you mentioned that a part of Alzheimer’s is due to genetics. So if there’s no family history of Alzheimer’s, does that mean you won’t get the disease?"

While asking.

Driver He even thought clearly, his family had no history of Alzheimer’s, perhaps he was a bit lucky.

Listening to Driver He’s "wishful thinking."

Chen Mu glanced at him strangely, "Did I ever say that?"

"Huh?" Listening to Chen Mu’s response, Driver He quickly felt a sense of foreboding.

Immediately after.

He heard Chen Mu’s voice again, "Genetics is just one factor in Alzheimer’s; any disease involves non-genetic factors too."

"Alzheimer’s is more likely to occur in people whose bodies already have issues. For example, excessive smoking, drinking, or long-term lack of sleep, and lack of exercise can all easily lead to this disease."

Driver He patted his chest, "Thank goodness, thank goodness, I like to exercise and eat healthily."

—

"Driver He is fine. Listening to Dr. Chen, I’m not fine at all."

"Does excessive lack of sleep also lead to Alzheimer’s? I feel like quitting my job now and checking myself into a hospital."

"Forget it! If you just left the room, your boss would probably report Hai City University and the broadcasting team for spreading negative influences."

"Workers just care about their health, and they get reported; it’s too hard."

"According to Dr. Chen’s theory, the scope is too big. Even if you don’t smoke or drink, you can’t avoid sleep deprivation, right?"

"And after working all day, I’m really too tired to exercise. Does this mean I’m not far from an Alzheimer’s diagnosis?"

"Can the doctors in the chat help? If I take more supplements, can I effectively prevent Alzheimer’s?"

"There might be some effect, as it can improve your body’s resistance, but..."

"But no guarantee it will work, right? Got it! Thanks!"
