University Doctor and His Fragile Patients

Chapter 150: Even a Corpse Has 3 Platelets—Can a Living Person Have Fewer?


"No way..."

Chen Mu was dumbfounded, watching the scene unfold.

"Is there not a single one who feels confident?"

The two students kept their heads down, not daring to speak.

"Dr. Chen, what task is it?"

"The two of us have much better grades than those two. If they can't handle it, we definitely can!"

Chen Mu was at a loss for words.

The group of students responsible for mobile tasks had come along after hearing the news.

They started to recommend themselves in front of Chen Mu.

Chen Mu sighed and repeated his earlier requirements.

The two who were just proclaiming themselves fell silent instantly.

One of them, however, was quite stubborn.

He pointed to Shi Dan standing next to Chen Mu, "Dr. Chen, this student looks quite healthy too. Even if the first blood draw fails, a second one should be fine, right?"

Shi Dan stood to the side.

Nodding in agreement, "I think so too."

Chen Mu: "..."

His headache was starting again.

"Hahaha!!! Dr. Chen: Oh my God, this room is full of trouble!"

"This guy really understands what 'healthy' means, with allergic purpura and lupus erythematosus buff. Healthy? That's really healthy!"

"The graduate student just got here, so it's understandable if they don't understand. But the most absurd is Shi Dan herself, isn't it?"

"She actually thinks she's healthy, too. What an Immortal!"

"It's not really the student's fault. I've been in clinical practice for several years, and if our head nurse asked me this, I'd be bewildered too. I wouldn't dare make such a guarantee."

"Exactly, nurses in clinical settings don't dare guarantee such things, and Dr. Chen is expecting this from a bunch of students... that's harsh..."

-

Seeing the unabashed disappointment in Chen Mu's eyes,

a few students dared not even breathe.

Chen Mu sighed.

"Go prepare the blood drawing tools. I..."

Before he could finish his sentence,

Mu Yao emerged from the EKG room.

Mouth slightly open, looking at Chen Mu with some apprehension.

She hesitated for almost a minute.

Just when Chen Mu thought Mu Yao was not going to speak up, she walked toward him, "Maybe, I can give it a try."

Chen Mu stared at Mu Yao, "The patient can't afford your mistakes."

Mu Yao looked at Chen Mu seriously, "I am confident, I won't make a mistake."

This time,

Chen Mu said nothing.

He simply made room for Mu Yao.

Mu Yao approached the blood draw station, looking at Shi Dan still standing by the door, "You can come to get your blood drawn now."

Shi Dan obediently walked over.

Mu Yao's skill matched her confidence.

The blood drawing process was clean and swift, completed in one smooth motion.

While Chen Mu was waiting at the door, Zheng Xin also heard the news and came over.

Seeing Chen Mu still standing by the door, he walked over and patted Chen Mu's shoulder, "Even with lupus and allergic purpura, it's not to the point where even the slightest mistake is unacceptable, right?"

"Aren't you scaring the exchange students?"

"They're here to help us, after all. You should be a bit more accommodating..."

Before Zheng Xin could finish his sentence,

Chen Mu pulled Shi Dan, who was just getting up, over.

He didn't touch the hand Shi Dan was still pressing on the blood draw site.

Instead, he bent down.

He pulled up a section of Shi Dan's pant leg from below.

After seeing the state of that section of calf,

everything Zheng Xin was going to say turned into an exclamation of "Holy crap"!

He tried to touch Shi Dan's calf lightly,

and even without applying pressure, a red mark appeared on Shi Dan's calf.

"Holy crap!"

Zheng Xin was so startled he jumped up from the ground.

He turned to Chen Mu beside him, incredulously asking, "Where on earth did you find such a fragile person?"

"This isn't just about lupus and allergic purpura, is it?"

"This is subcutaneous bleeding, isn't it?"

"With her condition, she might need to be hospitalized and receive a blood transfusion!"

"Why did you bring her to the school clinic for a blood draw? Just call an ambulance and send her to the hospital!"

Shi Dan sheepishly pulled down her pant leg, "Actually, it's not that serious, right? I went mountain climbing a few days ago, and I feel very healthy!"

"You went mountain climbing?"

Zheng Xin was dumbfounded.

It's one thing to be fragile, but how can this fragile person lack any self-awareness?

Chen Mu stood next to Zheng Xin, completely dispirited, "Yeah, she didn't just go mountain climbing; she went to Huashan, Huang Mountain, and Mount Tai."

"She even took a cruise out to sea, but..."

Chen Mu rubbed his chin, a thoughtful look on his face as he gazed at Shi Dan, "Don't you need to attend classes? How did you get permission for all these leaves?"

Shi Dan's eyes began to shift evasively.

Zheng Xin understood instantly, "She skipped class!"

Chen Mu nodded, "I'll call your father later, have him contact Shi Dan's counselor, and check her record for skipping classes. If it exceeds a certain number of times, I believe they can record it as a demerit."

Shi Dan was feeling worse than ever.

When she found out she had lupus and allergic purpura, she didn't even feel this emotionally defeated.

Because she didn't yet understand exactly what illness she had.

But she understood what a university demerit meant!

If she really got a demerit during her university years, let alone worrying about how it might affect her job search after graduation.

But thinking about returning home during the holidays.

She would probably face a fierce parental scolding!

"Is it that serious?"

"Absolutely serious!"

Chen Mu said expressionlessly.

Zheng Xin cooperatively took out his phone, preparing to call his father.

Suddenly!

"Ahhhhh!!!!"

"Ahhhh!!!!"

From the blood testing lab,

came the piercing screams of a group of graduate students.

As Chen Mu and Zheng Xin realized something was wrong, they saw five graduate students screaming in unison at the computer data.

"What's going on, what's going on?"

Zheng Xin tried to squeeze in to see what was happening.

But it was impossible to squeeze in, so he could only stand outside, tiptoeing to try and see what was going on.

And loudly asking questions at the same time.

Mu Yao turned around stiffly.

Completely unlike her previous uppity attitude when bickering with Zheng Xin, she cautiously glanced at Zheng Xin and then looked in Chen Mu's direction.

"Dr. Chen, Dr. Zheng..."

"If we broke your school's equipment, do we have to pay for it?"

Chen Mu rubbed his nose, "Theoretically, you would have to pay for it, but how can you be sure the equipment is broken?"

Mu Yao pointed in Shi Dan's direction, exclaiming, "We found her platelet count is only one!"

"In my entire life of classic classroom cases, I've never seen a platelet count of one!"

Shi Dan, suddenly the focus of everyone's attention,

was still somewhat bewildered, softly speaking, "Why is it that my platelet count is one, and it means the equipment is broken? Maybe the data is real?"

Mu Yao coldly interrupted Shi Dan, "Your platelet count is really just one? Are you kidding? Do you know what the platelet count of a corpse is?"

Shi Dan shook her head, "I don't know..."

Chen Mu sighed, "Typically, a corpse has a platelet count of three."

Mu Yao was particularly firm in her conclusion, "Could a living person's platelet count be lower than a dead person's? The equipment must be broken!"
