University Doctor and His Fragile Patients

Chapter 474 - 386: Are There Any Complications That Haven’t Been Covered?

"This..."

Listening to Chen Mu’s words, Su Bingbing was somewhat taken aback.

Hai City University.

Although it’s not one of the top universities in the country, at least within the province, it’s a pretty good school.

Two university professors.

This is definitely a job and life that most people would envy.

But what’s the use?

Because they had two unhealthy children, even as university professors, their lives could only become a tangled mess.

Putting herself in the shoes of those two professors.

Su Bingbing found it hard to imagine.

If she were in their shoes, would she have the courage to face it all?

But...

Su Bingbing’s gaze fell on Gu He’s white hair.

She could tell.

Despite Gu He being an albino, he was well taken care of by his parents.

Gu He was taken care of so well by his parents, so his sister should also be well taken care of by this family.

After all.

She is a girl showered with love by the whole family.

Chen Mu, who had been explaining Gu He’s family situation.

At this point.

Chen Mu couldn’t help but glance at Gu He again.

He knew deeply.

The show he was currently participating in was quite popular online.

And once Gu He’s sister’s illness was revealed on the live camera.

Their family, along with the siblings’ conditions, would receive public attention.

Even.

Because Gu He’s words were too heartbreaking.

Just now.

Chen Mu quietly contacted Gu He’s parents on WeChat.

To confirm everything as Gu He said.

And to decide whether to disclose the two children’s conditions live.

In the end.

The answer Chen Mu got from Gu He’s parents was.

Everything would be up to Gu He.

Chen Mu was looking at Gu He, also giving him a chance.

Next.

Whether their family would face nationwide public opinion.

The decision.

Was handed to this just-turned-eighteen-year-old boy.

Seeing Gu He’s unchanged attitude.

Chen Mu sighed: "Gu He’s sister was diagnosed with Kabuki Syndrome at three and a half years old."

—

"Kabuki Syndrome? What kind of illness is that? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of it."

"How to put it, this illness involves good looks, intellectual disability, and developmental delay."

"Good looks, just how good-looking?"

"Patients with Kabuki Syndrome give the impression of wearing heavy makeup, but these patients are generally discovered during their toddler or childhood years."

"Usually, except for kindergarten activities, or competitions, or photoshoots, infants and toddlers rarely wear makeup."

"My friend’s daughter is a year and a half old, and she’s beautiful, as if she’s wearing exquisite makeup. Should I remind her to go to the hospital for a check-up?"

"No need to remind her; I’m already on my way to the hospital with my child, not daring to delay a second."

"Based on what Dr. Chen said earlier, this illness is also incurable, meaning a very beautiful child might live as an intellectually disabled person for their whole life?"

"To say something more tragic, albino patients might live a long life, but Kabuki Syndrome patients may not even have the lifetime as we understand it; they’re prone to dying young..."

"Many times, parents of patients try everything to find a doctor but can only manage to let their child live a while longer."

"Although I guessed this illness might be troublesome, what you said is far beyond my understanding."

"..."

—

"Kabuki Syndrome?"

Even when Su Bingbing saw Gu He’s attitude, she sort of guessed it.

Gu He’s sister’s situation might be a bit grim.

But upon actually hearing what the illness was.

She couldn’t help but be a little shocked.

Years ago.

When she was doing a program in the hospital’s emergency department, she’d met a Kabuki Syndrome patient.

In the beginning.

She was attracted by the young girl’s looks.

The young girl’s beauty was even more striking than some well-known child stars in the industry.

But later.

During the emergency doctor’s diagnosis of the little girl.

She learned about this illness called Kabuki Syndrome.

Seeing Su Bingbing’s reaction, Chen Mu was also taken aback.

Then, surprised: "Reporter Su, you know about Kabuki Syndrome?"

Many patients’ families hear about this illness for the first time.

Su Bingbing nodded: "I once encountered such a patient. How is Gu He’s sister’s condition being managed?"

On camera.

Gu He chuckled lightly: "What else can you do? Making her a normal person is almost impossible."

"Moreover, my sister was a premature baby."

"Weak body, coupled with the inherently low resistance of Kabuki Syndrome, prone to various complications. It’s not an exaggeration to say we’re frequent visitors to the hospital emergency room."

During childhood.

From his memory, it wasn’t his parents taking him around seeking medical help.

Or...

Him receiving treatment in the hospital.

Finally waiting for his condition to stabilize.

To barely live like a normal person, even take the college entrance exam.

Getting admitted to a pretty decent university.

But...

What use is that...

With his sister’s condition.

He couldn’t do anything to help...

Su Bingbing glanced at Chen Mu.

Then at Gu He.

And roughly understood their purpose, it was simply hoping to generate some online buzz for Gu He and his sister.

This way.

It would facilitate future medical help for Gu He and his sister.

Thinking of this.

Su Bingbing, smiling all along, added: "Dr. Chen, could you elaborate on the complications Kabuki Syndrome brings to patients?"

Facing Su Bingbing’s smile.

Chen Mu roughly understood.

Su Bingbing wanted to help Gu He and his sister in terms of public opinion.

But thinking of Gu He’s sister’s condition.

Chen Mu sighed deeply again.

"Kabuki Syndrome..."

"This illness has too great an impact on patients..."

"It affects their skin texture, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, digestive system, reproductive and urinary system, motor system, endocrine system, blood (immune system), and nervous system to varying degrees..."

Su Bingbing was dumbfounded: "This..."

—

"Goodness, so this disease basically covers all the major systems of the human body?"

"I was already shock when I heard about the respiratory and digestive systems, and now I’m completely numb."

"No wonder Gu He is so deeply affected by his sister’s illness, Kabuki Syndrome is much more terrifying than albinism."

"Having two children, one with albinism, another with Kabuki Syndrome, are this couple’s genes really okay?"

"Didn’t Dr. Chen say so, all the necessary prenatal and pregnancy checks were thoroughly done, even twice over."

"Honestly, if such children were born in an average family, they might not even afford the treatment..."

"Even though I haven’t seen Gu He’s sister, I’m already worried sick about that little girl."

"First time hearing about Kabuki Syndrome, I’m absolutely terrified."

"..."
