Chen Mu entered the room.
As he walked in, he saw the patient with a prolapse who hadn’t had ti to put on pants yet.
There was gauze and dical tape fixed on his back.
Yet,
there was visible bloodstain on the gauze.
"Dr. Mu, give a hand."
With those words, Chen Mu quickly stepped forward.
Ignoring the patient’s struggle,
he used force to lift the struggling patient back onto the bed.
Once Mu Yao understood Chen Mu’s intent, she, along with other intern doctors, assisted as well.
They forcefully pressed the resisting patient back onto the bed.
It was mandatory.
"Don’t mind , I’m not getting treated here! I’m waiting for Dr. Chen to return!"
"You bunch of quacks, there’s no way I’m getting surgery!"
Hearing the patient’s loud wailing,
even soone with as good of a temper as Chen Mu didn’t hold back this ti. He smacked the patient on the back of the head.
Chen Mu said sternly, "Open your eyes and see who I am."
"Dr. Chen!"
The patient opened his eyes, and the mont he saw Chen Mu, a gleam of delight flashed in his eyes.
But soon,
the patient realized what he had just done, and his gaze started to wander.
Instinctively,
he avoided looking at Chen Mu.
Chen Mu said, "I’m going to examine your wound now. If you don’t cooperate at any point, I will stop treating you."
Seeing the patient’s stiff expression,
Chen Mu didn’t relent at all, only saying, "I an what I say. I believe Du knows my way of doing things to so extent."
What surprised everyone in the room,
this patient, who was hard to deal with according to Dr. Chen and was extrely uncooperative with their treatnt efforts,
miraculously,
beca compliant?
But upon closer reflection, aside from forcing the patient back onto the bed,
Dr. Chen hadn’t done much more than any of them.
How did the patient suddenly start cooperating?
The question
appeared in their minds,
and the surrounding interns couldn’t help but cast curious looks full of thirst for knowledge at Chen Mu!
Why such simple actions,
even when a bit forceful,
were so effective when perford by Chen Mu?
Feeling the surrounding gazes, Chen Mu calmly explained, "Actually, in many situations, it’s not about patients bullying the soft, but rather you acting too soft."
An intern couldn’t quite grasp Chen Mu’s aning.
"Dr. Chen, I feel there’s no difference between the two?"
Chen Mu shook his head, "No, there’s a big difference!"
Chen Mu said, "When patients bully the soft, it can involve unreasonable antics, just like this guy right here."
As he spoke,
Chen Mu patted Du on the shoulder.
Previously, in the break room, Du was as hard to handle as a pig during Chinese New Year.
But after hearing Chen Mu’s voice,
he rely averted his eyes briefly.
He then continuously fell silent, not daring to speak rashly,
playing dead on the bed.
Chen Mu continued, "Whereas, if you act too soft, it shows during communication with the patient that you’re not confident in your own expertise."
"It might be subtle, but most patients, being ill, tend to subconsciously observe their doctors."
"This observation behavior also reflects their concern about their condition."
"If, during the process, you display any lack of confidence, or unsure assessnt of the patient’s condition, it’s normal for the patient to panic a bit or beco non-cooperative."
"After all..."
Chen Mu’s gaze swept over the thoughtful interns in white coats.
He continued, "After all, I don’t think anyone would comfortably entrust their health to a doctor who isn’t even confident in their own dical skills, right?"
When saying these words,
Chen Mu specifically avoided ntioning the word ’intern.’"
Because what he was emphasizing now,
was very important in clinical practice.
Even if you’re just an intern doctor or even when these people beco attending physicians in the future.
If they display any uncertainty or lack of confidence in front of the patient,
the patient would instinctively think,
Oh!
This is an incompetent doctor!
Chen Mu was guiding them,
he was helping them.
Not only could Mu Yao see it, the other interns could see it too.
It was because they could see it,
that with every word coming out of Chen Mu’s mouth, these interns were desperate to understand and digest it thoroughly.
One of the interns raised a hand, "Dr. Chen, but if we really encounter a situation where we’re unsure, and can’t imdiately explain to the patient, what should we do?"
This was a situation they often encountered during their internships.
Many tis,
textbook knowledge is one thing, clinical practice is another.
Most patients won’t fall ill according to their dical school textbooks.
This results in situations where multiple conditions converge.
So young clinicians were unsure and directly opened their dical books in front of patients.
Or more boldly,
opened up Baidu right in front of the patient.
Just imagine,
if Chen Mu were the patient or the family mber of a patient.
without so dical knowledge, he would panic too!
