The wheelchair moved smoothly over the hospital’s tile floor.
Finally arriving at the hospital, Lv Jiaojiao started to panic without warning.
Her hands waved unconsciously.
Mu Yao, who had followed along, saw Lv Jiaojiao’s inexplicable behavior, and mumbled to herself in confusion, "Could it be her brain has a problem too? It seems that after leaving the ophthalmology departnt, we’ll need a brain CT scan."
Chen Mu: "..."
For a mont.
He wasn’t sure whether to comnd Dr. Mu’s dedication, thinking about the condition at such a ti, or to lant her poor choice of words.
Chen Mu let the white coat, which he had been holding and had not worn since arriving at the hospital, hang down a bit.
Just as it hung near Lv Jiaojiao’s hand.
Lv Jiaojiao raised her hand and grabbed the hem of the white coat, whispering, "Dr. Chen, I’m scared..."
Hearing the patient’s mosquito-like plea for help.
Mu Yao showed a confused expression and emphasized to the patient, "Student, we have already arrived at the hospital, and we’ll soon see the ophthalmologist."
Unexpectedly.
The words that she thought were comforting made the patient tremble even more.
Mu Yao stood there bewildered, looking at Chen Mu beside her in dismay.
Whispering for help, "Dr. Chen..."
Chen Mu sighed lightly.
He lowered his hand and forced Lv Jiaojiao to lift her head, "Didn’t I say that you must not cry in your current condition!"
Mu Yao was startled by the side.
Thinking to herself.
I comforted her with a sentence, and yet the patient trembled.
Dr. Chen, with your attitude, won’t the patient be even more disturbed?!
What happened next.
In Mu Yao’s view, it wouldn’t be too much to say it was a little strange.
The patient she previously tried to comfort, without success.
Soothed down in the sowhat stern tone of Chen Mu?
Chen Mu simply threw the entire white coat to Lv Jiaojiao, letting her hold it.
Even though it still had the scent of many dications.
Lv Jiaojiao embraced it as if it were a precious doll, quietly, like a glass doll that could shatter at any mont.
After confirming the patient’s emotions weren’t as bad as before.
Chen Mu slowly moved his gaze from Lv Jiaojiao to Mu Yao, who had been quietly observing him.
eting Mu Yao’s curious eyes.
Chen Mu said blandly, "It’s like this..."
"Many patients who first beco blind or deaf fall into a state of great fear and anxiety."
"Or rather, they are more prone to psychological issues than congenital patients."
"Often, as able-bodied people, we may find what we see uninteresting, and what we hear particularly noisy."
"But only patients who have suddenly lost their hearing or sight know how precious these things are."
"They once had a lively world, but were suddenly abandoned."
"The world remains lively, but they can no longer see all this splendor."
Mu Yao sensitively noticed.
While Chen Mu was explaining to her, his gaze remained on Lv Jiaojiao.
Or perhaps...
What Chen Mu was saying at that mont wasn’t just for her but also for Lv Jiaojiao.
Mu Yao observed.
As Chen Mu spoke in a storytelling manner, although Lv Jiaojiao clutched the coat tightly in her arms.
Her emotions seed to be calming down bit by bit.
Chen Mu lifted his hand and gently tapped Lv Jiaojiao’s head.
To Mu Yao, the rough gesture seed almost like petting a dog.
Yet Lv Jiaojiao seed comforted, saying softly, "Dr. Chen, I know crying is bad for my eyes, I promise, I truly won’t cry, I will cooperate well with the doctors."
"I want to see this world again..."
Chen Mu responded with a faint "Hmm."
As an answer to Lv Jiaojiao.
His glance briefly t Mu Yao’s, "Actually, if Dr. Mu reads so psychology-related books in addition to learning, you might guess why Lv Jiaojiao was so frantic just now."
"Seeing the ophthalmologist imdiately after going blind is certainly good."
"But she’s also afraid of hearing terrible results sooner."
"On a serious note, many patients who have suddenly beco blind or deaf have also had psychological issues shortly after."
Mu Yao was astounded: "Is it really that serious!"
During her dical studies, she only considered how to treat illnesses.
But never thought that doctors might also need to consider patients’ psychological issues during clinical treatnt.
Chen Mu looked at Mu Yao with a faint glance, "Dr. Mu, have you visited those palliative care hospitals?"
Mu Yao nodded: "I have..."
Palliative care hospitals usually receive patients who are issued death notices by large hospitals.
There’s no cure.
Only painkillers, nutritional drips, waiting for death!
Nowadays, many people, even close family, mind dying at ho.
Not necessarily because dying at ho is inauspicious.
Mostly it’s because, if soone has died in the house, even if by natural causes, it could lower the property value when selling it later.
Even though.
The areas people now live in might have seen deaths over thousands of years...
Chen Mu pursued, "Did you see what those patients were like?"
Mu Yao recalled, "Almost all were waiting for death, with no will to live."
"Many patients, tornted by pain, even felt that impending death might be a relief."
Every sentence Mu Yao spoke.
Carried an indescribable sense of helplessness.
Despite modern dicine’s advancents, there are still many patients doctors can’t save.
This sense of helplessness.
Is likely sothing only fellow doctors can feel.
Chen Mu continued, "Often, doctors are most helpless with patients who have no will to live."
"But many patients, like Lv Jiaojiao."
"If doctors can identify her psychological issues early on, even if they can’t adjust her emotions, rely suggesting that her family take her to see a psychologist can greatly help her willingness to cooperate with future treatnts."
The perspective Chen Mu spoke from.
Was not sothing Mu Yao had learned in her classes before.
This modern dicine-trained female doctor suddenly realized at this mont how important it is for doctors to read so psychology-related books.
Thinking of this.
Mu Yao looked at Chen Mu with eager eyes, "Dr. Chen, could you help list so psychology-related books?"
Chen Mu: "Child Psychology, Geriatric Psychology, Female Psychology, start with these three, then look at others."
Mu Yao was taken aback.
Noticing a common group among the usual patients was being overlooked, "Dr. Chen, don’t I need to look at adult male psychology?"
Chen Mu’s expression instantly turned a bit subtle, "For male psychology, reading Child Psychology will cover it..."
