My Nurse Girlfriend Looks Soft And Cure? But Each Stab She Makes Avoids Their Vital Points - Chapter 1

Chapter 1: Am I Worried About Her? I’m Worried About Trouble!

“You might be pregnant with a child who has four arms and four legs,” the intern doctor said to the pregnant woman lying on the bed during the ultrasound examination.

“Huh?” The pregnant woman was shocked.

“What?” Her husband, who was with her, also stared in disbelief.

“You fool, these are twins,” Lu Ming explained, patting the intern doctor on the back affectionately.

The other interns observing couldn’t help but laugh after Lu Ming’s clarification.

After hearing Lu Ming’s explanation, the pregnant woman and her husband breathed a sigh of relief.

“That’s an unusual way to announce twins…”

Lu Ming apologized to the couple while lamenting the challenges of mentoring this group of interns.

Just then, Lu Ming’s phone rang again, and he saw a WeChat call from one of his students. This was the third time she had called, and Lu Ming knew exactly what she needed.

She must be calling for help.

As expected, he opened the chat interface and read her message:

​【Teacher!】

【Outpatient clinic!】

【Help me! Help me!】

There were two missed call records from her that he had rejected.

Lu Ming sighed and replied:

​【Stop calling, you fool. I’m on my way!】

She immediately responded with a message:

​【Crying!】

With a sad and helpless emotion, Lu Ming pocketed his phone and rushed to the outpatient clinic.

Outpatient clinic.

Pediatrics Room Three.

“I’m telling you if my daughter’s cough isn’t cured…”

“I not only want to complain, but I’ll also report you to the Health Bureau for selling ineffective medicine!”

A young parent held a bottle of cough syrup, angrily confronting the young female doctor in front of her.

“Please calm down. My teacher is on his way.”

“He will help diagnose your daughter’s condition.”

Shen Mumu forced a smile, trying to console the child’s parents. She had heard that pediatrics was a challenging field, but she hadn’t expected it to be this tough. This was only her third day as a pediatric resident, and she had already faced over ten complaints and warnings!

If this continued, she might not only work for free for a month but could end up owing money!

“Hmph!”

The parent expressed disdain. They were determined to file a complaint.

Before long, Lu Ming entered the room and pushed the door. When the parents saw Lu Ming, they were surprised.

“Is this your teacher?” The parent pointed at Lu Ming, eyeing Shen Mumu skeptically.

“Yes, he’s my teacher, Lu Ming!” Shen Mumu proudly introduced.

“Are you two conspiring to deceive me?”

“His age doesn’t look older than mine! How can he be your teacher?”

Lu Ming’s appearance didn’t match the parents’ expectations for a doctor-teacher. They likely envisioned these young doctors being mentored by distinguished professors in their fifties or older.

“My teacher is an Associate Chief Physician!” Shen Mumu explained.

“He will be 26 this year!”

“Do you understand the prestige of a 26-year-old Associate Chief Physician?”

Shen Mumu became visibly upset, defending Lu Ming against doubts.

In the medical field, doctors progress from Resident Physician, Attending Physician, and Associate Chief Physician to Chief Physician. Those who attain the rank of Chief Physician are typically 35 years or older.

“Nonsense! Get your hospital director here. I want to complain!” The parent remained unconvinced.

Shen Mumu was about to argue further but was interrupted by Lu Ming, who raised his hand.

Arguing with patients is a significant no-no in the medical field.

“What’s the situation with the child?” With one question, Lu Ming redirected the focus to the child, skillfully avoiding further argument.

Upon seeing that Lu Ming inquired about the child, the parent immediately explained the situation. The little girl had been coughing, and they had brought her to the hospital, where she was prescribed cough syrup. To their surprise, her condition not only didn’t improve but worsened. This left the parent frustrated and suspicious of Shen Mumu’s professionalism, even suspecting that the prescribed medicine might be ineffective.

Lu Ming took a deep breath, thinking it might be a significant problem, only to discover it was a cough. Moreover, he had a rough idea of what might be happening.

This issue might be attributed to Shen Mumu.

“Let me see the cough medicine,” Lu Ming requested, extending his hand.

“Are you trying to destroy evidence?” The parents looked at Lu Ming with suspicion.

Lu Ming pointed to the surveillance camera on the ceiling, easing the parents’ concerns. They then handed the cough medicine to Lu Ming.

Lu Ming opened the cough medicine and sniffed it. Soon, he confirmed, “The medication is fine.”

Upon hearing this, the parent became anxious.

“If the medicine is fine, why isn’t my daughter’s cough improving?” The parent asked, frustrated.

Lu Ming signaled the parent to remain calm and asked, “Let me know, how do you give your daughter the cough medicine?”

The parent answered, “What else can we do? Pour a little from the bottle onto a spoon and have her swallow it, then give her a few sips of water afterward.”

“What I mean is, what happens next?” Lu Ming asked.

The parent paused and asked, “What do you mean?”

“Afterward, she has a few sips of water,” he said.

Lu Ming smiled slightly, solving the case. “The problem lies in those few sips of water.”

The parent became even more puzzled. “What does that have to do with drinking water? Even if you want to avoid responsibility, find a better excuse.”

Lu Ming explained, “After taking the cough medicine, you shouldn’t drink water immediately. The principle of cough medicine is to create a protective layer on the mucous membrane surface to reduce the irritation from inflammation. If you drink water right after taking the cough medicine, won’t it wash away the protective layer adhering to the mucous membrane? It’s like taking the medicine for nothing.”

The parent expressed surprise. Was this the correct way to take cough medicine?

“I told you, our medicine is fine! Our treatment method is fine, too!”

“You see, it’s your fault!” Lu Ming said.

Shen Mumu, who had been holding back her frustration, finally felt a sense of relief.

“The medicine is fine, the treatment method is fine, but you bear responsibility,” Lu Ming said, redirecting his criticism towards Shen Mumu.

“Ah?” Shen Mumu was dumbfounded.

“For us doctors, it’s common knowledge that cough medicine should not be taken with water,” Lu Ming continued. “But for patients, they haven’t studied pharmacology. So, you should fulfill your duty to remind them.”

Lu Ming pinpointed Shen Mumu’s mistake. Shen Mumu bit her lip lightly, and after a moment, she stood up and sincerely apologized to the parent and the little girl, saying, “I’m sorry, I didn’t fulfill my duty to remind you. I bear responsibility for delaying your daughter’s recovery.”

Upon hearing this, the parent felt somewhat embarrassed. Lu Ming’s fairness, impartiality, and problem-solving skills had won him over.

The parent scratched their head and said awkwardly, “I got a bit impulsive and almost turned into a medical troublemaker. Doctor, rest assured, I won’t file a complaint.”

In the face of the parent’s assurance, Shen Mumu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. At the same time, she looked at Lu Ming with admiration.

A teacher was truly a teacher. He effortlessly resolved a medical dispute!

At this moment, Lu Ming’s phone vibrated again. Just as he was about to sigh about which troublesome student needed his help this time, his eyes widened as he read the message.

“Xiao Rou has been followed!”

The words that came out of Lu Ming’s mouth left Shen Mumu stunned and alarmed.

“My wife has been followed?” Lu Ming pocketed his phone. “I need to get there quickly!”

Shen Mumu reassured him, saying, “Teacher, don’t worry too much. Report it to the police first, and I’m sure your wife will be fine.”

Lu Ming shook his head, saying, “Am I worried about her? I’m concerned about the bad guys!”

“Ah?” Shen Mumu was suddenly puzzled. She couldn’t quite grasp what he meant. “Worried about bad individuals?”
