Chapter 552: Chapter 447: You’re a Professor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Specializing in Colorectal Surgery?

"Dr. Chen, what did Professor Liu Yao do before?"

An intern doctor couldn’t resist their curiosity after all.

In an unintentional moment.

Fell into Chen Mu’s trap.

Following Chen Mu’s lead, pressed on with the questioning.

Seeing Chen Mu give a "just waiting for you to ask" smile, the intern suddenly shivered.

Even somewhat afraid to look at Mu Yao, standing next to Chen Mu, whose face seemed a bit dark at that moment.

Wondering if their foolish behavior just now would be relayed to Professor Liu Yao by Mu Yao.

Thinking of that smiling old man in a floral shirt, watching him and praising how clever he was.

The intern shivered from their own imagination!

Hiss!

What a terrifying hypothesis!

Professor Liu Yao’s side shouldn’t be able to get the news that quickly, right?

Mu Yao would surely care about their camaraderie, and wouldn’t relay the message that swiftly, right?

As the intern continued pondering whether they should find a time to try bribing Mu Yao later on.

They heard Chen Mu continue speaking, revealing the answer that these intern doctors had been curious about all along: "Professor Liu Yao used to study modern medicine, specifically proctology."

"Ah?"

"Ah!"

"Is that even possible?!"

In an instant.

A chorus of surprised voices erupted among the group.

Mu Yao silently covered her face, this secret known only by a few senior brothers and some professors.

Had been so bluntly revealed to the public by Dr. Chen.

-

No wonder these intern doctors were surprised.

From studying Western medicine to Chinese medicine, such a large leap, and achieving results afterward.

Actually, Professor Liu Yao was not the only one.

However.

What truly surprised this group of intern doctors was the fact it involved proctology.

This was the first time they’d heard of someone successfully transitioning from this department to practicing Chinese internal medicine.

How should one describe this feeling?

It’s like someone telling you that a National Medical Master was a dental director in their youth.

Seeing the looks of surprise on this group of people.

Chen Mu simply smiled and said, "The reason I’m telling you this is to let you know that Mu Yao clearly knows more about proctology than you do, and it’s probably because Professor Liu Yao passed on some knowledge to her?"

With Chen Mu’s gaze resting on Mu Yao.

The other students followed suit, focusing their attention on Mu Yao.

Feeling that she couldn’t keep it a secret anymore, Mu Yao could only nod and say, "That’s indeed the case..."

"Actually, it wasn’t that Professor Liu Yao volunteered to teach me, I once came across a medical case I wanted to ask if the teacher knew any proctologists who could explain it to me. I didn’t expect the teacher to know it himself, and that’s how I learned about his experiences when he was younger."

Hearing Mu Yao’s explanation.

The other students of Professor Liu Yao present felt a sense of psychological balance.

It wasn’t that Professor Liu Yao was keeping secrets from them.

But initially, he treated everyone equally, and they simply didn’t express any interest in proctology.

The teacher naturally had no reason to impart that knowledge to them.

Chen Mu continued, "Another reason I’m telling you guys this is..."

"Since you guys came to Hai City University, I feel you’ve often been finding excuses for your lack of proficiency in your studies."

"For instance, when many of you encounter difficulties, you comfort yourselves by saying you’re not from a family of traditional Chinese medicine, and at your age, you’re already doing great."

Chen Mu’s smiling gaze swept over the group of intern doctors.

Some people realized their shortcomings, withdrew slightly, and began to reflect, discreetly acknowledging Chen Mu’s point.

But there were still a few who disagreed.

Boldly staring at Chen Mu, they retorted, "Isn’t that true?"

Chen Mu chuckled, "Isn’t what true?"

Mu Yao frowned slightly on the side, sensing that.

The attitude of her classmates was starting to make Dr. Chen somewhat annoyed.

But from the standpoint of a fellow alumni, Mu Yao also felt her classmates’ thoughts weren’t all that unreasonable.

After all, sometimes even she.

Had similar thoughts that, in Chen Mu’s eyes, shouldn’t have appeared at all.

Young interns naturally carried some youthful fervor.

When Chen Mu asked such a question, the other side was quite willing to respond, "If I had such good conditions when I was young as Dr. Chen did, I might have become an excellent traditional Chinese medicine doctor now too."

"Given some time, years later, I’ll definitely become an excellent doctor as well."

Chen Mu raised an eyebrow, "I figured someone would think so."

"Then let me ask you this, even in a top-tier hospital, aren’t there still some older doctors who haven’t managed to become chief physicians yet?"

The term ’expert.’

Chen Mu didn’t even mention it.

"Actually, for young doctors today, being able to work in a top-tier hospital already proves your capabilities, and how many people are still single-mindedly eager to work in major hospitals that won’t accept them?"

"Those older doctors who can work in top-tier hospitals, even if some of them haven’t become chief physicians by now, you can’t deny that they were among the distinguished younger generation back then, right?"
