University Doctor and His Fragile Patients

Chapter 77: Is It Really Appropriate to Undo the Strap on Camera? What Are You Thinking—Save the Patient!


"??? "

"Has anyone checked this Dr. Chen? Is he a doctor or a warlock? How can he just speak things into existence?"

"Saying 'epilepsy' and then having an epileptic fit, who can handle that?"

"I was just Googling what hippocampal sclerosis is, and suddenly this happened?"

"Hiss! From childhood to now, I've heard countless legends about epilepsy, but this is the first time I'm watching someone have a fit live."

"One moment she was a healthy girl, the next she's like this. Dr. Chen is really heinous!"

"..."

"Seriously, it's just as they said and it happened?"

Su Bingbing was dumbfounded by the scene unfolding before her eyes.

Chen Mu first helped Geng Yiqing lie on her side.

Then quickly used tweezers and medical cotton to wipe the inside of Geng Yiqing's mouth.

Seeing that the live camera was focusing on him,

Chen Mu continued to clean Geng Yiqing while explaining to the online spectators in the live stream room.

"In daily life, there's still a chance to encounter patients with epilepsy."

"I let Geng Yiqing lie on her side so that the secretions in her mouth could flow out more easily."

"If she's lying flat, there's a certain chance of aspiration blocking the trachea, which could lead to fatal consequences."

"The most important thing is, do not give epilepsy patients medication or water during a seizure."

"Or put anything in their mouths..."

"There have been many clinical cases of epilepsy-related deaths where people around the patient mistakenly thought inserting something into the patient's mouth could prevent them from biting their tongue during the seizure."

"But instead, it led to fatal outcomes."

"Although I haven't encountered an epileptic patient before, I noted down everything Dr. Chen said carefully."

"For most sudden illnesses, laying the patient flat is the best way to handle it, but for epilepsy, this can actually become a fatal maneuver."

"Speaking as a nurse in the emergency department, many of the death cases we see in emergency are due to incorrect first aid techniques, but often, truly effective first aid education is difficult to spread..."

"So far, the best-known first aid techniques are only CPR, mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, and the Heimlich maneuver, but actually, there are many more..."

"..."

While watching the live stream comments on her phone, Su Bingbing immediately had an idea upon seeing a particular comment.

"Dr. Chen, the method you're using to clean Geng Yiqing's mouth with tweezers right now,"

"Can we use the same first-aid technique if we encounter an epilepsy patient in our daily life?"

"Isn't this cotton ball considered placing something into the patient's mouth?"

As soon as Su Bingbing spoke,

Chen Mu understood her intention.

Using the momentum of the live stream to spread more medical knowledge was also something Chen Mu wanted to do.

So Chen Mu cooperated very well!

"You can also learn the first-aid techniques I'm using now in daily life."

"But if you use the same method, make sure your hand holding the tweezers is steady."

"We use tweezers to hold the cotton ball to help the patient clean inside their mouth, but if your hand is unsteady and the cotton ball is inhaled, there's a chance it could cause the patient to suffocate!"

Chen Mu took out the soiled cotton ball and replaced it with a new one.

"Additionally, it's common for epilepsy patients to experience limb convulsions during a seizure, so we should avoid any unnecessary harm to the patient's mouth from the tweezers."

"Su Bingbing, do me a favor."

Su Bingbing: "Dr. Chen, go ahead."

Chen Mu pointed to the area on Geng Yiqing's back, "Slip your hand in and unfasten her bra strap."

"This..."

Su Bingbing glanced at the live camera behind her, feeling hesitant.

Chen Mu changed to a new piece of cotton ball and said, "Just slip your hand in and unhook it; you don't need to remove it."

"The patient won't be exposed in front of the camera."

Hearing what Chen Mu said, Su Bingbing didn't hesitate anymore.

She slipped her hand in, quickly and neatly unhooked Geng Yiqing's bra strap.

After doing this, Su Bingbing looked down at Geng Yiqing's face and exclaimed in surprise, "Dr. Chen, is it just my illusion? It seems like her breathing has become much smoother since the strap was unhooked?"

Chen Mu shook his head, "It's not your illusion!"

"Tight clothing can make breathing difficult for patients, so if you encounter an epileptic patient wearing tight clothing, you can cut some of it open to help them breathe easier."

"Women's bras can have the same effect as tight clothing."

"But just unhooking the back strap usually helps make breathing much smoother."

"If there are female onlookers at the rescue scene, you can usually ask a female colleague to assist, to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings later."

"But..."

"Just like mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, if there are no women present, even a man should go ahead and do it!"

"Oh my! I suddenly remembered a news story from a few years ago!"

"I remember too, it was about a man who unhooked the bra of a female epilepsy patient and got criticized online until he lost his job."

"I saw that video too. He only touched her back. Looking back now, maybe he was actually rescuing the patient?"

"Why didn't he explain at the time?"

"He did explain...but no one believed him."

"I'm going online to apologize to him now, to prove his innocence! Even though a late apology can't undo past harm, at least it can stop the harm from continuing!"

"Count me in!"

"..."

Seeing that there was no more secretion in Geng Yiqing's mouth,

Chen Mu quickly put down the tweezers and cotton ball in his hand, opened a small notebook,

and swiftly recorded the time.

Su Bingbing took a closer look, noticing it was from about a minute ago.

"Dr. Chen, what are you recording?"

"Is it helpful for rescuing epilepsy patients?"

Chen Mu nodded, "In most cases, epilepsy seizures don't last more than five minutes. If you know the seizure's duration, it's recommended to record both the start and end time of the seizure."

"This data can be handed over to doctors at the hospital later and can help with subsequent treatment."

"Also, there may be cases where the patient has dentures or wears glasses."

"If you encounter such patients, you should remove their dentures and glasses. And if they're wearing a tie, loosen it—these may pose unnecessary risks to the patient."

Su Bingbing was nodding continuously.

She noticed out of the corner of her eye...

Geng Yiqing's advisor, with bloodshot eyes, was quickly typing on his phone.

His typing speed was almost leaving afterimages!

The cameraman adjusted his camera angle and managed to capture the contents of Du's phone clearly.

It was filled with the epilepsy first aid methods that Chen Mu had just explained.

Hearing that Chen Mu suddenly stopped talking, Du eagerly asked, "Dr. Chen, besides what you just mentioned, are there any other important points to remember when aiding epilepsy patients?"

Realizing that his address might be inappropriate,

Du adjusted his address slightly, "Could you elaborate more, please?"
