48: Burning paper money at the entrance of the emergency department, even shameless people should have a bottom line!
Chapter 048: Burning Joss Paper at the Emergency Department Entrance – There's a Limit to Shamelessness!
“What exactly does your Medical Affairs Department do?”
“You come here to question us without understanding the full story.”
“Is our Emergency Department easy to bully, or do you simply not respect me, Zhong Xibei, as the Department Director?”
As Lin Yi arrived at the entrance of the Emergency Department Doctors Office.
He heard angry roars coming from inside.
Director Zhong was spitting saliva everywhere, his finger almost poking the forehead of a middle-aged male doctor.
“Director Zhong, please calm down. I’m just following procedure.”
“The patient’s family specifically named and accused a doctor in your department, so the Medical Affairs Department must investigate the situation.”
“As long as there is sufficient evidence and the facts are clear.”
“The Medical Affairs Department will, of course, give a fair judgment to the Hospital’s own doctor.”
The middle-aged doctor explained, feeling wronged.
Zhong Xibei, the soon-to-retire Emergency Department Director, was one of the few remaining veteran doctors at Central Hospital.
People from the Medical Affairs Department might act arrogantly towards younger doctors, but in front of him, they had to behave respectfully.
Otherwise, one phone call from him, and even the Hospital Director would come running over.
“Now that sounds like something a doctor from this Hospital should say.”
“If you had said that earlier, would this Old Man have gotten so agitated with you?”
Zhong Xibei rolled his eyes at the other party, his tone finally showing signs of softening.
“Oh, Little Lin, you’re here. Come over quickly.”
“It’s just a small matter with a patient’s family. Explain it in a few sentences.”
“I’ll help you send the Medical Affairs Department people away.”
He turned his head and saw Lin Yi standing at the office door.
Director Zhong’s face instantly broke into a wide smile.
He took a couple of quick steps to Lin Yi’s side, took his hand, and led him inside.
It wasn’t that Zhong Xibei was biased, but Lin Yi’s performance was so outstanding that no amount of praise felt excessive.
Yesterday, during the rebar removal surgery, his unique diagnostic method.
Not only saved a life, giving the Emergency Department another impressive surgical case.
It also heavily slapped the faces of those Department Directors who usually acted so high and mighty.
This made Zhong Xibei feel particularly relieved!
Thinking about how those old guys who usually looked down on the Emergency Department would be depressed in the coming days, Director Zhong couldn’t help but want to smirk.
More importantly, through that surgery, he gained an extremely clear understanding of Lin Yi’s Suturing Technique.
Not having such an excellent doctor in the operating room was a waste of medical resources and a disrespect to the entire department’s performance bonuses.
Director Zhong further confirmed this through the doctors and Nurses who successively came to him to petition.
Every Emergency Department Doctor and Nurse who had personally witnessed or heard about Lin Yi’s Suturing Technique.
Unanimously requested him, as the Department Director, to have Lin Yi perform the suturing for every emergency surgery.
This would ensure surgical efficiency and quality while also saving everyone more rest time and increasing bonuses.
With such a universally welcomed request, how could Director Zhong refuse?
He even planned how to promote Lin Yi to attending physician level in the shortest possible time.
This way, Lin Yi could access more surgeries and have more autonomy during treatment.
“Director Lu, what exactly is the matter? You can ask now.”
“This is Dr. Lin Yi from the Emergency Department, our department’s most promising and outstanding young doctor.”
When introducing Lin Yi, Director Zhong felt that no amount of praise was too much.
“Lin Yi, this is Lu Kai, the Director of the Hospital’s Medical Affairs Department.”
“Don’t feel any psychological pressure, just state the facts.”
“In my Emergency Department, no one dares to force you!”
Zhong Xibei’s gaze towards the Medical Affairs Department Director was filled with a strong warning.
“Doctor Lin, last night, a patient’s family member named Wu You filed a complaint.”
“He said that without the family’s signed consent, you rashly treated the patient, causing the patient to experience a severe life crisis.”
“Now the family is very emotional. If the Hospital cannot provide a satisfactory resolution, the family will continue to appeal to the Health Bureau and even sue in court.”
“Our purpose in coming here now is very simple: we want to understand the truth of the matter.”
Director Lu simply and clearly explained the reason for questioning Lin Yi.
“Who is Wu You?”
“I didn’t have time yesterday to give any patient individual treatment.”
“Is Director Lu mistaken?”
Lin Yi looked at the Medical Affairs Department Director with a frustrated expression.
Every word he said had absolutely nothing to do with him!
“What’s going on?”
“Is this your Medical Affairs Department’s rigorous working attitude?”
“You can even get a doctor’s name wrong!”
Director Zhong’s eyes widened again.
He completely believed what Lin Yi said.
Yesterday was Lin Yi’s first day working in the Emergency Department.
After the rebar removal surgery, it was basically time to get off work.
Furthermore, with Lin Yi’s current resident doctor status, he simply did not have the qualification to treat patients independently.
“We would absolutely not get this wrong!” Director Lu quickly explained.
“The patient’s family stated very clearly: Emergency Department, young Doctor Lin Yi.”
“Oh, and his wife is hospitalized in the Emergency Department. Her name is Zhang Yuxi.”
Lin Yi denying such an incident was unexpected by Director Lu.
This even led him to have a slightly negative view of Lin Yi’s character.
“Zhang Yuxi?” Lin Yi murmured the unfamiliar name.
“I remember now, isn’t that the young girl I saved yesterday!”
Upon hearing the patient’s name, Lin Yi finally recalled.
During the rescue yesterday, he had glimpsed the patient’s bedside card hanging at the head of the bed, which had that name written on it.
“Then that’s even more incorrect, Director Lu.”
“The patient was declared dead by Dr. Cheng Shaocong. I felt something was wrong, which is why I rescued her again.”
“Saving a patient, and the family doesn’t even say a word of thanks, that’s one thing.”
“But there’s no way they would falsely accuse a doctor with malicious lies.”
“Is the family out of their minds?!”
“Is this something a patient’s husband would do?!”
Lin Yi also became angry, and his words were not at all polite.
To be complained about by a patient’s family for saving someone—doctors shouldn’t have to suffer such grievances.
“What’s happening? Hold on, both of you!”
Director Zhong was completely bewildered, and quickly stood between the two, interrupting their conversation.
“Cheng Shaocong declared the patient dead, and then Lin Yi saved her again.”
“Finally, the patient’s family complained about Lin Yi, implying that without the family’s signature, he caused the patient a life crisis?”
“What kind of hellish logic is this?!”
“Director Lu, have you ever seen such an animal?”
As he spoke, Director Zhong directly started cursing.
If doctors kept encountering such outrageous families, who would dare to treat and save people?
The Hospital might as well just close down!
“This…”
“I also didn’t expect the situation to be like this.”
“Lin Yi, don’t worry. You write down the details of the incident again, and after the Medical Affairs Department verifies the full situation.”
“They will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation.”
Director Lu also hadn’t anticipated that the patient’s family could be so shameless.
However, the Medical Affairs Department must handle doctor-patient relations based on facts and evidence.
Only after thoroughly understanding the course of events could they ultimately define the nature of this matter.
“This is bad, Director, you must go and see.”
“Zhang Yuxi’s family is burning joss paper at the Emergency Department entrance.”
“They’re also filming videos to post online, saying that Lin Yi of Central Hospital’s Emergency Department disregarded human life!”
Just at this moment.
A Nurse rushed into the office in a panic.
Asking the Director to quickly find a solution.
