University Doctor and His Fragile Patients

"Psychology, why?"

Chen Mu said this earlier.

This group of young people could somewhat understand it.

But as for the sudden mention of psychology, they truly found it a bit difficult to grasp.

Emergency.

Traditional Chinese medicine.

The connection between these and psychology isn’t significant, right?

Chen Mu looked down: "Right now on the internet, the matter is fermenting. Although my mistake isn’t big, I indeed didn’t realize the intention of the patient’s family back then. Maybe if I were smarter, I could have saved the patient’s life."

"True clinical practice isn’t just about medicine."

"You also have to learn to interact with people."

"Maybe in terms of medicine I’ve done quite well, but when it comes to dealing with people, I’m lacking everywhere."

Chen Mu sincerely analyzed his shortcomings.

But listening to what Chen Mu said,

everyone present actually felt somewhat uncomfortable in their hearts.

Because while this incident happened to Chen Mu this time, it could be them next time.

No one had enough sense of security.

Compared to the silent young doctors,

the few older professors had noticeably better attitudes.

After hearing Chen Mu’s perspective, they merely spoke with a smile: "I think Chen’s viewpoint is reasonable. Actually, even if you don’t minor in psychology, you can learn a bit about social interactions."

"Chen, you wouldn’t know, but some of this group have studied to the point of dullness!"

"I had a pair of pants where the zipper accidentally opened before, and I happened to be lecturing facing away from the students. Tell me, my assistant noticed it, a gentle reminder would have sufficed, wouldn’t it?"

Chen Mu nodded and then said, "Indeed."

A professor exclaimed in frustration, "But that foolish student shouted from behind the podium, saying ’Professor, your fly is open’."

Chen Mu: "..."

His gaze drifted across the young doctors.

Seeing some lowering their heads.

Chen Mu almost pinpointed which one the professor was calling foolish.

Chen Mu: "..."

The feeling of being publicly chastised by a teacher was reminiscent of how the old man scolded him back in the clinic...

"The professor’s advice is valid, I’ll definitely buy a couple of psychology books."

"I too will read more about social manners, hopefully making patients trust me more."

"I’ll also go back and study hard..."

"Learning is a lifelong journey; I’m fully aware of my shortcomings now!"

"Even if my performance isn’t excellent, my attitude is commendable, haha!"

"..."

Seeing them in their awkward state.

For a fleeting moment.

Chen Mu recalled when he was young, the old man would scold students at home, and with him—the child—present, those senior students looked quite embarrassed.

But Chen Mu also understood.

Whether it was the elder back then or the professor in front of him,

they were strict only in words, genuinely wishing to impart their skills and knowledge to their students.

Whether it was about medicine or social skills,

they needed to learn more and make progress.

"I remember now, you previously worked in the emergency department at Hai City Renmin Hospital." The old professor patted his head, slightly coming to realization.

Gazing at Chen Mu with curiosity, the old professor surprisingly lacked the disapproval or disagreement Chen Mu had anticipated.

Old professor: "Speaking of which, you had a great talent in the realm of traditional Chinese medicine. Why didn’t you study it in college but chose modern medicine instead?"

"I’m not saying modern medicine, Western medicine isn’t good, but most..."

Chen Mu smiled and continued the topic, "You mean most who inherit Chinese medicine, if they wish to pursue a career in medicine, usually choose the broad path of Chinese medicine rather than the more extensive modern medicine, right?"

Seeing the old professor nod,

Chen Mu also shared his thoughts at that time with a smile. "My old man, um, the one you see as Professor Chen at home, even argued with me over this back then. He felt I shouldn’t easily abandon the years of traditional Chinese medicine study."

"But as a young person... there’s always a rebellious phase..."

"The more he thought I should study Chinese medicine, the less I wanted to learn it!"

"The less he wanted me to apply for modern medicine, the more determined I was to study it, and to make considerable achievements in it!"

Listening to Chen Mu’s rebellious words,

the young doctors present exchanged glances.

Though they knew,

amongst everyone there, Chen Mu’s undergraduate degree might be the lowest,

but after seeing Chen Mu’s transcripts from Imperial Capital Medical University online, they couldn’t help but concede,

Chen Mu once mentioned in a livestream he originally had a chance for a doctoral degree, and he rejected it himself.

This claim,

is highly likely true...

Even though people often joke about cursing those encouraging others into medicine,

those who indeed succeed in medicine usually have both talent and perseverance.

In today’s youth lingo, it’s a championing profession.

However,

Chen Mu managed to achieve top grades in such a competitive field, which sufficiently demonstrated how outstanding he was during his time at Imperial Capital Medical University.

For a gifted and capable student, securing a direct doctoral opportunity wasn’t hard.
