Chapter 755 - 550: No Stitches? Amputation Is Also an Option!
Staring at Chen Mu eagerly: "Dr. Chen, this intern just said that her wound needs stitching."
The girl seemed a bit reluctant, "Stitching will leave a scar, right... Dr. Chen, is there any other way, like acupuncture?"
Even though Chen Mu thought he had a pretty good mindset by now.
Upon hearing the proposal from the fragile college student,
he still couldn’t help but roll his eyes, "This wound, so long, so deep, anyone would need to stitch it up!"
"Not only does it need stitching, but you also need a tetanus shot. How did the wound happen?"
The boy was a bit embarrassed, "She wanted to show how considerate she is by making a fruit platter for me."
Chen Mu pointed at the girl’s arm, "So, is this a new type of fruit?"
Two fragile college students: "..."
The interns: "..."
Su Bingbing: "..."
-
"Pfft! Dr. Chen is getting more and more sarcastically witty!"
"I wasn’t laughing at first, but when I heard the part about a new type of fruit, I really couldn’t hold it in! Hahahaha!!!"
"I even took the fruit knife from home, practiced alone several times, and still couldn’t figure out how this fruit platter was cut."
"Nonsense! If you could figure it out, you’d probably be on your way to the hospital to get stitched up too!"
"But I don’t think these two fragile college students were wrong. It’s normal for a girl to care about her looks and not want stitches!"
"Exactly, I had stitches after a car accident before, and the scar was really ugly."
"But with a wound that long and deep, what do you expect the doctor to do if not stitch it up, perform magic to make it heal automatically???"
"But it really looks bad!"
"..."
-
Seeing the patient and her boyfriend.
Still standing there.
Not making a decision.
And unwilling to leave.
Chen Mu got a bit impatient and urged, "Do you want to stay at the school hospital for disinfection, or should I write you a School Hospital Referral Form, and you can go to the community hospital or a top-tier hospital."
The girl exchanged a look with her boyfriend.
Then their gaze landed back on Chen Mu again.
Obviously, regarding her injury,
they still held many unrealistic hopes.
Looking eagerly at Chen Mu in front of her, "Dr. Chen, really, is there no other treatment option?"
"Must it be stitched?"
Chen Mu sneered, "There are other options."
"Really?!" The girl exchanged a glance with her boyfriend, both unable to hide their delight.
Even in front of Chen Mu, the girl was whispering to her boyfriend.
"See, I told you, doctors only suggest what they think is the least troublesome method."
"Sometimes asking more questions will definitely lead to unexpected turns."
"Besides, there’s a difference between interns and doctors, they come out to treat patients without mastering their skills."
She thought she was speaking very softly.
In fact.
Not only could Chen Mu and the intern before her hear it, but even the live broadcast equipment also captured the girl’s voice clearly.
-
"I can’t even imagine how that intern must feel hearing those words..."
"I really can’t guess what other option Dr. Chen is talking about. At least with the depth and size of this wound, it definitely requires stitching in our hospital."
"A doctor’s skill can only ensure she needs a few stitches as possible; not stitching it at all is almost impossible, right."
"Most of the surgical departments in top-tier hospitals are run by Western doctors; since Dr. Chen also knows Chinese medicine, maybe there’s an alternative in Chinese medicine?"
"Chinese medicine also suggests stitching; this level of depth is a bit much."
"Chinese medicine doesn’t have a better suggestion, neither does Western medicine, but Dr. Chen does?"
"Dr. Chen only said there’s another suggestion, not that it’s a better one, right?"
"A doctor surely can’t play word games like this under a live camera."
"So you guys think that what Dr. Chen says is more reliable than what most professionals say?"
"Dr. Chen is a professional too, okay!"
"..."
-
The denied intern, despite being seriously annoyed by the little couple,
still couldn’t help but cast a curious gaze upon Chen Mu behind him.
Looking eagerly, "Dr. Chen, what are the other solutions?"
If he is truly unskilled.
He wouldn’t avoid his problems.
In the profession of a doctor, it’s not being afraid of being unskilled, but of not progressing.
If it’s possible to do without stitches, he’d even be willing to apologize to the couple.
After all.
If there’s really such a good solution, it would indeed prove valid the criticism.
"Yes, Dr. Chen, quickly share your method, give this quack doctor some insight!"
The knife was still on his girlfriend’s arm, not yet removed.
The boy was already boasting like something else.
Chen Mu curled his chilly lips, "Just don’t treat it."
"Don’t treat it?"
Before the couple could respond, the intern’s emotions escalated,
As a professional doctor, he couldn’t help but question Chen Mu’s statement, "For now, just debridement and stitching can solve it, but if untreated, the weather being so hot, the wound will definitely continue to worsen."
"By then, it won’t just be a matter of stitching to solve it!"
Chen Mu nodded confidently and said, "I know."
"You know?"
*
The intern looked towards Chen Mu with growing suspicion.
For no other reason.
Such a simple principle, Chen Mu understands, he believes this is within Chen Mu’s level.
Yet what he couldn’t figure out is.
If Chen Mu really understands.
Previously.
Why would he say such hopeful words to the patient for no reason.
Under the intern’s incredulous gaze, Chen Mu calmly stated another method, "Leave the wound untreated, don’t stitch it, let it worsen continuously, eventually leading directly to amputation, no stitches needed."
Intern: "Ah!"
The couple opposing stitches: "!!!"
-
"???!!!"
"Wow, never expected such a ’solution’, hold on, this med student needs to think."
"Gotta say, though this doesn’t sound nice, it kind of makes sense?"
"I’d love to learn to speak like that, but if I treated patients with such an attitude in clinical practice, I’d probably get complaints and lose my job."
"There are indeed some who dare to speak to patients this way, but mostly they’re senior doctors and have been pushed to a certain limit."
"I’m really not talking nonsense here, but for some patients, you have to be a bit harsh, otherwise, they might not understand what you’re saying."
"Right, this intern and Dr. Chen have both explained it very clearly; for this patient’s situation, stitching is needed, but both the patient and family have their own ideas."
"Sometimes I really don’t get it, if you don’t listen to the doctor at the hospital, why go to the hospital at all?"
"..."
-
The intern was initially shocked by Chen Mu’s strange theory expressed over here.
But then.
When the intern’s gaze fell on the serious face of Chen Mu,
a voice suddenly told him in his head.
Chen Mu wasn’t joking with the two patients.
But seriously proposing to them a suggestion that held great feasibility in his mind.
Upon realizing this.
The intern instantly also knew how to cooperate with Chen Mu.
Without a second word.
He started packing the disinfection tray, preparing to leave.
Seeing the intern acting like this, the couple was dumbfounded.
Just as the intern was about to leave, the boy grabbed him, his tone even a bit panicked, "Aren’t you supposed to disinfect, then go to the hospital for stitching, why aren’t you disinfecting my girlfriend?"
The intern maintained a poker face: "But weren’t you against stitching?"
"Some things need to be clarified upfront, once disinfected and stitched, a scar will definitely be left."
"Of course, if you are against it, we can also choose not to handle it for now, and directly refer you to a top-tier hospital for disinfection and stitching."
