106: After being a slave for so long, even standing has become a luxury!

Chapter 106: Being a lackey for too long, even standing becomes a luxury!

“Lin Yi, you explain.”

“Why did you refuse to treat Yamamoto and publicly insult him?”

After Lin Yi entered the Director's Office and sat down, Director Cui finally asked.

His calm expression was in stark contrast to Lu Chenxi’s worried frown.

“Don’t worry, as long as you can provide a reasonable explanation and reason.”

“The Hospital will definitely stand on the side of its own doctors and resolutely defend their rights.”

To alleviate Lin Yi’s concerns, Director Cui specifically emphasized the Hospital’s stance… “Director Cui, you didn’t misunderstand the specific situation I just mentioned, did you?”

“It’s true that the patient was verbally abusive first, but Lin Yi refusing to treat him, and even yelling at him to leave the Hospital, is also an unchangeable fact…”

“My intention in coming to you is to see if we can find a way for me to bear the responsibility for this matter, after all, Lin Yi stood up for me, which led to this outcome.”

Hearing Director Cui’s tone becoming increasingly unusual, even seeming to back Lin Yi up.

Lu Chenxi immediately interjected before Lin Yi could speak, objectively recounting the facts again and expressing her request… She was, after all, a senior doctor at the Hospital. Even if the other party was relentless, if she were to bear the consequences of this matter, no matter how bad the situation, it wouldn't lead to dismissal.

Lin Yi was different; he had only been working at the Hospital for three days when such a serious incident of scolding a patient occurred. If someone with ill intentions targeted him, he would most likely be fired.

Lu Chenxi absolutely could not let the worst happen. She had to protect this student, Lin Yi.

Her purpose in coming to the Director was also to unify their statements with the Director before the matter escalated, and take the responsibility upon herself… “I understand what you mean, but I still want to hear Lin Yi’s own account.”

“And our determination to uphold the Hospital’s honor and doctors’ rights will not change at all…”

Seeing Lu Chenxi looking unnecessarily anxious, Director Cui had no choice but to look at her and patiently explain.

Doctor-patient conflicts are indeed very sharp in today's society.

But as one of the Hospital’s leaders, if he rigidly applied rules to solve every problem, fearing to take responsibility and making doctors hesitant, not even daring to voice what is right.

In the long run, such a Hospital would have no future, and the doctors in this Hospital would become spineless cowards… Director Cui even tailored his recent research topic in this direction.

Treating illnesses and saving lives is a meritorious deed, but how many doctors nowadays can truly stand tall and proud when treating patients… “The Director, who looks so gentle, actually has such a strong side!”

Listening to Director Cui repeat his stance twice, Lin Yi couldn't help but look at this intellectual woman with surprise a few more times.

Compared to some unreasonable patients, doctors are in an absolutely vulnerable position.

If a patient has a big argument with a doctor, or even gets physical, at worst they can just walk away and go to another Hospital for treatment.

But doctors who encounter such difficult patients are in deep trouble; the other party will relentlessly pursue the matter, appealing upwards through the ranks.

To protect its reputation and appease the situation, the Hospital will most likely make the doctor bear all responsibility.

Many doctors have even resigned voluntarily or been dismissed because of such situations.

Director Cui being able to break the inertia of previous Hospital leadership practices is truly admirable.

Regardless of the final outcome, being able to meet such a leader made Lin Yi feel warm inside at this moment… “I don’t believe I made any mistakes.”

“Even if I encounter another Little Notebook beast coming to the Hospital for treatment, I will still have this attitude…”

Lin Yi began to state his position.

With a “bang!”, the door to the Director's Office was pushed open.

Bai Ji, Director of Cardiology, and Qiu Lixin, Director of General Surgery, walked in quickly one after another, looking grim.

“Director Cui! Lin Yi’s egregious behavior of threatening patients and driving them out of Central Hospital.”

“Has already caused an extremely negative and terrible impact among patients and their families!”

“If measures are not taken immediately, the reputation of Central Hospital will suffer irreparable damage…”

“Uh…”

“Dr. Lin and Dr. Lu are both here…”

Before he had even fully reached Director Cui’s desk, Bai Ji was already furious, rattling off Lin Yi’s various offenses like a machine gun.

It was only when he caught sight of Lu Chenxi and Lin Yi sitting on the office sofa out of the corner of his eye that he awkwardly shut his mouth… “It’s even better if Doctor Lin is here; it saves us the trouble of going to the Emergency Department to demand an explanation!”

“As a doctor, he doesn’t even possess the most basic medical ethics. I don’t know how this doctor graduated from school?”

“Has the General Practice Medicine specialty degenerated into a specialty for just talking big?”

Seeing Bai Ji abruptly shut up, Qiu Lixin cursed him as a coward under his breath, then seized the opportunity to speak even more arrogantly.

Ever since Lin Yi arrived at the Emergency Department, his General Surgery Department hadn't had a single smooth day.

This was a heaven-sent opportunity to quickly get rid of this annoying kid!

But then again, Lin Yi's action of standing up to a patient, when heard by any doctor, felt satisfying and comforting.

To be a doctor with such backbone, Qiu Lixin truly admired him from the bottom of his heart.

But the bad thing was that this kid kept crossing him again and again, making it imperative for him to get rid of him quickly… “Director Cui, I must also remind you.”

“According to my investigation, this Yamamoto’s identity is extremely special. He is a cultural exchange expert specially invited by Jincheng University and has considerable international influence.”

“If our Hospital handles this improperly and it escalates into a diplomatic incident, no one will be able to bear that responsibility!”

As soon as Qiu Lixin finished speaking, Bai Ji immediately interjected, re-emphasizing the seriousness of the matter.

The two sides had already completely fallen out, so it was better to be as direct and bold as Qiu Lixin.

After this incident, the possibility of Lin Yi remaining at Central Hospital was completely nonexistent… “Aren’t the two Directors acting a bit too eagerly?”

“This is my Emergency Department’s internal affair; it seems it’s not for the two of you to worry about!”

Lu Chenxi sneered, looking at the two Directors with a mocking expression.

They were both part of the Hospital's leadership, but their awareness was truly miles apart from Director Cui's.

“Furthermore, this matter also originated with me, Lu Chenxi. Whatever consequences there are, I will bear them.”

“You two should go do whatever you need to do; worrying unnecessarily makes you age faster!”

Lu Chenxi was not at all polite, just wanting to quickly dismiss these two troublemakers.

“Lu Chenxi! Don’t even think about taking responsibility upon yourself.”

“Some responsibilities, you might not be able to bear!”

“So many eyes are watching; the facts cannot be denied by a few words from you!”

Bai Ji glared at Lu Chenxi menacingly, signaling her to shut up.

There was no room for discussion about getting Lin Yi out today… “I say, two Directors, how much money did Little Notebook give you? To make your tails wag so enthusiastically?”

“Being a lackey for too long, even standing becomes a luxury!”

Lin Yi’s sudden outburst almost made the two Directors, Qiu and Bai, die of anger on the spot…
