Chapter 459 - 376: Guess Why This Disease Is Also Called Senile Dementia? (Part 2)
All gradually became somewhat listless.
Facing Chen Mu.
Driver He tried very hard to appear more optimistic and positive.
But no matter how hard Driver He tried.
Those lips.
Still couldn’t manage to turn upward.
Chen Mu spoke in a calm tone.
But his words were enough to scare others, "It could cause damage to the brain tissue."
"Common accidents include fights, car crashes, and many other incidents that might impact the head..."
Driver He: "..."
—
"Brothers, I’m already checking which nursing homes here are friendlier to Alzheimer’s patients. I’m starting to think about my life with dementia, boohoo..."
"Have you all thought this far ahead? I’m scared..."
"Being scared is useless. Those meant to get Alzheimer’s will still get it. At such moments, an Alzheimer’s insurance policy is needed. Brothers in need can add me on WeChat, my ID is *****."
"Okay, okay, okay!!! You salespeople are really competitive; you’re even worried about getting Alzheimer’s while thinking about boosting your performance!"
"Since he’s advertising, I might as well too. I work at a nursing home. If you’re interested, message me privately for a 20% discount!"
"I just suspect I might need to live in a nursing home in the future. I don’t plan on going now!"
"If you’re not planning to go to a nursing home, you can check out our services. We offer integrated funeral services and custom high-end urns!"
"???"
"Isn’t this getting more and more ridiculous? Isn’t the program staff planning to save the chat?"
"..."
—
Seeing Chen Mu seemed like he was going to keep talking.
Driver He was truly a bit desperate at this point, "Dr. Chen, you’re not going to tell me there are more reasons one might get Alzheimer’s, are you?"
Looking at Driver He’s eyes.
Almost filled with despair.
Chen Mu just nodded calmly, "Congratulations, you guessed it right!"
Driver He: "..."
He wondered why he never realized before.
That his old partner had a knack for telling cold jokes?!
Given the situation now.
What was there to congratulate on?
He didn’t see it at all.
Under Driver He’s almost despairing gaze, Chen Mu smilingly continued, "Aside from what I just mentioned, if you have the ’three highs’, high blood sugar, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or factors like obesity, they could lead to Alzheimer’s too!"
Driver He: "..."
Listening to Chen Mu’s words.
He even wanted to quit right then and fully indulge in the rest of his life.
Driver He tried very hard to control his emotions.
Only then did he manage not to burst into tears in front of the camera at his age.
Driver He looked at Chen Mu with eyes still filled with despair towards life, "Dr. Chen, isn’t there a way to prevent this disease at your level?"
Seeing Chen Mu smiling at him.
Driver He, still serious, continued, "Dr. Chen, maybe you didn’t fully understand my point. What I mean is..."
Chen Mu: "Hmm?"
Driver He: "You see, with your excellent medical skills, when you get older, you’ll surely be an amazingly skilled traditional Chinese medicine practitioner."
Chen Mu nodded happily, "Driver He, where did you suddenly learn to speak so well? I like hearing that."
Driver He smiled and continued, "So, Dr. Chen, having an outstanding doctor like you is truly a blessing for many patients."
"Dr. Chen, we’ve worked together for so long. I know you well. You’re a really good doctor; you always put patients first."
Chen Mu: "Oh?"
He wanted to see.
What Old He was going on about.
What’s his real purpose?
Driver He rubbed his hands, showing a subservient smile, "So, the existence of doctors like you is very necessary. I’m a bit worried about your health, Dr. Chen."
"Since everyone might get Alzheimer’s, Dr. Chen, you’re human too..."
Chen Mu: "!!!"
This guy.
Was actually waiting for him?!
—
"Wow, I always thought Driver He was just an ordinary driver, but after he just said that, I realized Driver He is a smart guy, super smart!"
"????"
"Wait, I’ve been in the live stream all along, why do I feel like I’m losing track of your logic?"
"For those of us who don’t understand medicine, we can’t find an effective method even if we try hard, but if someone like Dr. Chen, who’s proficient in medicine, realizes they might get Alzheimer’s, it’s different."
"Right, right! Doctors will definitely want to save themselves too, and maybe during the process, they’ll find a cure for Alzheimer’s, and then Alzheimer’s patients worldwide will be saved?!"
"Wow! You all are so smart!"
"Self-rescue starts with me. I’ll go PUA my med student brother right now, telling him he’s just an ordinary person, and ordinary people have a chance of getting Alzheimer’s."
"Med student: It’s truly an honor to have you bunch of geniuses with us..."
"..."
—
Facing Driver He’s flattering attempt.
Chen Mu merely nodded calmly, "Driver He, I think you’re absolutely right."
Before Driver He could feel happy about Chen Mu’s response.
He heard Chen Mu say, "Since I might get Alzheimer’s at any time, I should enjoy life. Later, I’ll buy a cup of milk tea at the school gate, I’ve been craving it."
Driver He’s lip corner twitched, "Dr. Chen, don’t you have any grand aspirations, like solving Alzheimer’s and being remembered in history?"
Facing Driver He’s hopeful eyes.
Chen Mu just shook his head calmly, "No..."
"Why?" Driver He was a bit flustered.
At such a moment, Chen Mu still maintained his emotional calm, "It’s simple. Although my medical skills are okay, it’s all basic skills taught at home, not because I’m great."
"Even my dad, who is way more skilled than I am, couldn’t solve this global problem, how can I? In life, the most important thing is self-awareness!"
Driver He: "..."
Though every word Chen Mu said was reasonable.
But.
At this moment.
Driver He still found it hard to make himself smile.
Facing Driver He’s helpless look, Chen Mu continued, "So, we’re all the same, ordinary people powerless against diseases like Alzheimer’s..."
"Naturally, we should cherish each waking day, enjoying what we eat and drink, making sure we treat ourselves well."
Driver He: "..."
When Mu Yao and Liu Ruyan came out, they saw Driver He looking utterly despairing, standing by the school ambulance.
Seeing this.
Liu Ruyan was just a little curious about what Chen Mu had said to Driver He to cause such a mood swing.
In contrast.
Mu Yao, who was less calm.
For a brief moment after seeing Driver He’s breakdown, her brain almost crashed, too.
The next second.
Feeling a bit excited, she abandoned the patient Liu Ruyan beside her.
With quick strides, she rushed to Chen Mu’s side.
Looking very tense, she said, "Dr. Chen, why is Driver He’s emotion so intense? Is Driver He sick?"
Chen Mu cheerfully shook his head, "It’s nothing, I was just joking with Driver He..."
Before Chen Mu could finish.
He saw Driver He, who had been chatting with him earlier, suddenly collapse backward!
His face.
Became pale in that instant.
