University Doctor and His Fragile Patients-Chapter 343 - 277: Picking Pimples—Can It Really Cause Intracranial Infection?

Frightened by Chen Mu's mention of an intracranial infection.

The girl was speechless for a moment before she barely found her voice again.

"Intracranial infection..."

"Dr. Chen, you're just trying to scare me, right..."

"It's just a pimple, it can't be that serious, right..."

The girl's voice trembled a bit.

Or rather.

It wasn't just the patient herself.

The nearby girls who were watching were all staring at Chen Mu.

Even the dorm manager auntie was staring at Chen Mu.

In the crowd.

There were murmurs coming from all around.

"I often take care of my pimples myself, and I'm still alive and well."

"Dr. Chen must be exaggerating, most people pop their pimples with their hands."

"I actually enjoy popping my pimples, it's quite stress-relieving."

"..."

Listening to these murmurs.

The girl seemed to gain some support.

She began trying to refute Chen Mu's earlier statement.

"Dr. Chen, you must be exaggerating, everyone clearly..."

Ha!

Chen Mu chuckled softly, holding disinfected gauze, and began trying to help the girl treat her wound.

"If you don't believe what I say, you can go ask Baidu."

"Your senior isn't the only one who's had an intracranial infection from popping pimples."

The girls who were just doubting: "..."

This time.

Without much emphasis from Chen Mu, all the girls picked up their phones.

Opened Baidu.

A few seconds later.

Surprised voices started coming from the crowd one after another.

"Dr. Chen wasn't lying, popping pimples can indeed lead to an intracranial infection?!"

"Oh my gosh! I've been popping my pimples casually for years, it's a miracle I'm still alive!"

"I need to apologize to Dr. Chen, I thought for sure he was exaggerating earlier, but it turns out to be true?"

"Even though I haven't seen the senior's case, there have been similar cases all around the world!!!"

"..."

Listening to the chorus of exclamations at the dorm room entrance, the girl with her face pressed down by Chen Mu's gauze suddenly felt paralyzed.

She widened her eyes in disbelief.

Could Dr. Chen actually be telling the truth?

Such an outrageous statement, could it actually be valid?!

Looking into the girl's eyes, still in shock and a bit dazed.

Chen Mu said coolly, "What's there to be surprised about?"

"You breaking a small facial artery is a rare event, and didn't it happen?"

The girl: "!!!"

—

"I'm dying of laughter! Now that Dr. Chen said it, I'm not even shocked by intracranial infections!"

"Dr. Chen: You yourself are a rare case, so what's so strange about someone else experiencing a rare event?"

"Dr. Chen: Exhausted, such simple logic, and I still have to explain it once?"

"The shock of the girls outside is no less than the people inside the room."

"Don't you think this dorm room is a bit weird? Isn't there someone in a weird position on the balcony?"

"Oh my? It really seems so, is that a position a human can do? Is she still alive?"

"..."

—

The girl gathered herself.

Stared at Chen Mu.

Carefully said, "Dr. Chen, can our school do an intracranial infection test?"

Chen Mu: "Normally, a brain CT can give a rough idea. The campus hospital can do a brain CT."

"If you're still worried, you can do a lumbar puncture to check the cerebrospinal fluid."

"But I personally think it's unnecessary because intracranial infection is just a rare event."

The girl nodded: "Dr. Chen, then after stopping the bleeding, should I go to the campus hospital for a brain CT?"

Chen Mu sighed: "Intracranial infections don't happen immediately, you at least have to wait a week before coming to the campus hospital for a check."

"I see..."

The girl smiled at Chen Mu and said, "Dr. Chen, look, even though I've only ruptured a small artery, an artery is still an artery!"

Chen Mu sighed repeatedly.

Chen Mu: "When the time comes, you can come directly to the campus hospital to find me, I'll arrange for someone to take you for the check."

"As long as there aren't any critical emergency patients ahead of you, you can skip the line."

Receiving a satisfying response.

The girl wore a contented smile.

Chen Mu shook his head helplessly and continued, "Girls dealing with their own facial pimples, after all, it's a desire for beauty, which is understandable."

"But when handling pimples, remember not to use your hands to pop them, but to properly disinfect your tools."

"Lastly, clean the wound with disinfectant, that's the best way to prevent intracranial infection."

Listening to Chen Mu's advice.

All the girls nodded, indicating they remembered.

Just when Chen Mu was preparing to give more advice.

The new cameraman suddenly shouted, "Dr. Chen, the director just sent me a message, saying viewers in the livestream found that there might be another patient in this dorm."

Chen Mu: "Hmm?"

The cameraman raised his hand, pointing toward the balcony.

Caught sight of a twisted body on the balcony floor.

Chen Mu: "!!!"

"Could someone strong please help press this gauze on her face?"

Chen Mu instinctively wanted to rush over and check if the person on the balcony was still alive.

Once a girl volunteered to take over Chen Mu's work.

Chen Mu took a couple of strides over to the balcony.

The girl on the ground.

Struggled to open her eyes, looking blankly at the balcony ceiling.

That expression.

If he had to use a word to describe it, Chen Mu could only say, it looked very much like the unfortunate person in dramas who can't rest in peace...

Moreover.

The girl's limbs were in a peculiar position.

Twisted.

After a brief examination.

Chen Mu made a preliminary judgement.

The person's worst condition was, at a minimum, a concussion, along with multiple fractures.

"Please, call 120."

Saying this.

Chen Mu frowned, telling the cameraman, "Please, could you record this dorm room with the camera from inside and out?"

The new cameraman nodded.

Then proceeded as instructed.

—

"I understand calling 120, this fellow student's condition doesn't seem like something the campus hospital can handle, but why record someone else's dorm?"

"Yeah! Students have a right to privacy too!"

"Would the comments just shut up for a moment, the situation with the patient on the balcony seems a bit suspicious, Dr. Chen isn't just recording, if something happens to this girl, that would preserve the crime scene."

"What do you mean???"

"I see, Dr. Chen now not only wants to call 120, but might even want to call 110..."

"Why are you people so certain, are you all like worms living in Dr. Chen's stomach?!"

"I'm a bit scared, no one mentioned earlier that there was another patient here. If the livestream viewers hadn't noticed, what if by the time this person was found, it was too late..."

"Based on what I know about the delicate students of Hai City University, I'm more inclined to believe this was an accident, everyone's attention was on the small artery, possibly in the urgency, they didn't notice there was one more."

"Did anyone record? Was this girl already lying here when Dr. Chen and the others came in?"

"..."
