Since becoming a doctor.
Chen Mu prided himself on.
Even among the second generation of doctors, his skills were considered top-notch.
Back when he was in the ergency departnt.
Even chief physicians, when faced with tricky issues, would seek him out for a consultation whenever he had so free ti.
But right now.
The situation with Shen Ting genuinely left Chen Mu baffled.
As soon as Chen Mu spoke, his words hung in the air.
Every person in the room wearing a white coat cast sowhat unfriendly glances at Shen Ting.
The reason being.
They had chosen to co to the university hospital at Hai City University for their studies.
One reason was because Hai City University had resources in abundance, with many fragile university students unlike other colleges.
And the other reason?
Of course, it was because there was a professor here competent enough to guide them, and that young doctor was highly praised for his dical skills.
Chen Mu.
Dr. Chen.
To these dical students.
Shen Ting questioning Chen Mu's competence was no different than questioning the judgnt of their teaching professor.
Hearing Chen Mu's words.
Shen Ting was scared and shook his head repeatedly, "No! Dr. Chen, I absolutely didn't an to question you!"
Chen Mu sighed, "Since you don't doubt my dical skills, why didn't you ask before planning to undergo desensitization treatnt?"
Shen Ting whispered, "I did ask..."
"How co I was unaware?" Chen Mu frantically searched his mind but had no recollection of such an event.
With her head lowered, Shen Ting continued, "That one ti, it was so hot I fainted at school and was taken to the infirmary. Didn't I ask you then..."
"Do I have the potential for desensitization treatnt with my condition?"
Chen Mu's mind buzzed.
If his mory was accurate, it had been nearly a year since Shen Ting had asked him that question.
Shen Ting obviously reported to the university infirmary almost every week.
Yet throughout this entire year.
Not once did she ntion to him, the doctor, that she intended to pursue desensitization treatnt.
Suddenly, Chen Mu felt.
As a doctor, as a university physician.
He was quite the failure.
He was so undeserving of a patient's trust.
In the depths of his heart, he quietly consoled himself for a while.
Chen Mu felt he had managed to calm himself down.
Only then did he organize his thoughts and ask again, "May I ask where you found the information suggesting that your allergy could be alleviated via desensitization treatnt?"
"Did you see it on a social dia platform, where an 'expert' explained how sweat allergies could be treated?"
As Chen Mu asked this question.
Shen Ting's head drooped lower and lower.
The dical students behind Chen Mu were visibly more and more enraged.
"Shen Ting, if soone truly conducted such public education online, you must report them!"
"Although I'm not familiar with sweat allergies, our professor did lecture us on so related topics in class, and it seems almost impossible to alleviate this through desensitization therapy."
"Even if it's possible, it must be under the guidance of a professional doctor."
Listening to the critical comnts coming from behind him.
Chen Mu helplessly waved his hand: "Everyone, you've said your piece, what does the patient have to say?"
When the others in white coats quieted down.
Chen Mu's gaze remained fixed on Shen Ting, "Shen Ting, tell us?"
"Where did you see that sweat allergies could be treated with desensitization therapy?"
"Does the person who fed you this 'toxic chicken soup' know you have other allergens in your system?"
Staring at her toes, Shen Ting replied, "I did see it online, but the desensitization therapy ntioned was for cat fur allergies..."
Chen Mu: "..."
Rubbing his chin thoughtfully, "Cat fur allergies can indeed be alleviated through desensitization therapy, but does this relate to you?"
"You're dealing with sweat allergies; cat fur allergies mostly involve the respiratory tract, which is entirely different!"
Shen Ting continued looking at her toes, "I just wanted to think by analogy..."
Chen Mu: "???"
Is this really sothing you can infer by analogy?
—
"Here I was preparing to rant on short video platforms, and you hit with 'thinking by analogy'?"
"Dr. Chen: Subway! Elderly! Looking at their phone!"
"As a dical student, my scalp is tingling. The type of patient I dread the most in clinics is like this one, who doesn't trust doctors but trusts themselves..."
"I also fear this kind of patient. Every ti, I just want to ask, if you think you're that amazing, why co to the hospital? Just treat yourself!"
"At least they're not blaming the doctor, so there's so conscience there."
"It's true; once we had a patient who went ho and drank amulet water, then returned for a stomach pump, insisting it was a young doctor from our departnt who told him to do it, which drove that young doctor to tears!"
"..."
—
Chen Mu took a deep breath.
He barely managed to organize his thoughts and spoke again, "So you're saying your desensitization treatnt was carried out without any professional guidance?"
Shen Ting nodded sowhat firmly.
Chen Mu was nearly speechless again.
His only solace now was that Shen Ting's desensitization treatnt had just started when it was discovered.
Otherwise...
Chen Mu exchanged a glance with Lu Xiong, the PE teacher sitting not too far away.
Both could see the helplessness in each other's eyes.
Chen Mu thought.
If it had been discovered later, let alone whether Lu Xiong would keep his job,
he might not be able to keep his job either.
By then.
He would only have the option to return to his family clinic and help his old man brew dicine.
