62: The resident doctor is ignorant and the department director follows suit!
Chapter 062: The Resident Doctor is Ignorant, and the Department Director is Joining in the Nonsense!
“Isn’t this just nonsense?”
“He really thinks the Hospital is his family’s clinic, where he can do whatever he wants!”
“It’s over. He didn’t even get a signature for the surgery. Is he trying to kill the Hospital…?”
If yesterday’s rescue could be excused as acting on urgency,
then performing surgery today without getting the patient’s family to sign is clearly challenging the bottom line of the treatment system.
No one present had ever heard of such an arrogant doctor.
Even the two Department Directors who had strongly defended Lin Yi
had grim expressions and fell silent, unsure what to say…
“Bang!” The conference room door was suddenly pushed open.
The patient’s family member, Wu You, rushed in and started cursing at everyone in the room.
“No matter what your procedures are, if you don’t fire Lin Yi today, I will absolutely not be done with your Hospital.”
“I’m still in the Hospital, and no one even notified me that they were operating on my wife.”
“Disregarding human life, your Hospital is disregarding human life!”
“The leaders from the Health Bureau are still here, and you dare to act recklessly…!”
Wu You had given up, not caring who was sitting there, and greeted them as viciously as possible.
Zhang Yuxi had already entered the operating room, which meant only two outcomes were possible.
Either, as before, the doctors would be helpless and could only declare Zhang Yuxi dead.
But Lin Yi’s appearance had changed what should have been a foregone conclusion.
What if, as that guy said, Zhang Yuxi was really cured? The consequences would be unimaginable.
Time was running out for Wu You.
To prevent this ‘what if’ from happening, the only way was to make Lin Yi unqualified to participate in Zhang Yuxi’s treatment…
“This should be Zhang Yuxi’s family member, Mr. Wu You, correct?”
The Cardiothoracic Surgery Department Director, Bai Ji, immediately came over to confirm his identity.
Based on the performance of this stranger just now, everyone in the conference room could already confirm that this was the patient’s family member they had just been discussing.
Being cornered and cursed at in the conference room by the patient’s family member, all the Department Directors felt their faces burning, and it was indeed quite awkward.
“Of course, I am the legal husband of Zhang Yuxi, the patient from the Emergency Department.”
“And I am also the only family member who can represent her and exercise various rights during her hospitalization.”
At this point, Wu You also held up his marriage certificate.
Indicating that his identity was absolutely beyond doubt.
The purpose of bringing his marriage certificate home was to prevent the Hospital from procrastinating and obstructing him from exercising his legal rights.
He hadn’t expected to use it so quickly, and Wu You secretly praised his own quick thinking…
“Everyone has seen it, the legal identity of the patient’s family member is unquestionable.”
“Lin Yi, without the consent of the patient’s family, rashly performed surgery on the patient.”
“This is no longer just a violation of the Hospital’s treatment regulations; it even involves a violation of medical law.”
“I suggest that the Medical Affairs Department immediately take Lin Yi into custody.”
“To prevent him from causing further irreparable harm to the patient and the patient’s family!”
Director Bai spoke with conviction, his sharp gaze directed at Director Cui, who was at the head of the table.
Using this incident, he could completely win in the struggle against the Vice President.
It would also help him establish greater prestige throughout Central Hospital.
And even gain a greater advantage in the upcoming Vice President selection…
“Director Cui, as the highest leader of this meeting, what else do you have to consider?”
“Right now, if you don’t act decisively, you’ll suffer the consequences!”
Seeing that Director Cui was still hesitant, Bai Ji urged him with feigned heartache.
“What’s the rush?!”
“You are all Department Directors managing a department; when faced with something, you should maintain composure even more!”
Director Cui did not reply directly; instead, he stared at Bai Ji and began to reprimand him.
Although he didn’t name names, all the Department Directors present could tell who the Director was talking about.
“Don’t you use your brain to think carefully?”
“Does Lin Yi, a resident doctor, have such great authority to directly perform surgery on a patient?”
“Are the attending doctors and the Department Director of the Emergency Department all fools?”
“Just letting a resident doctor act recklessly in the department?!”
This was actually the most puzzling thing for Director Cui.
Performing emergency surgery on patient Zhang Yuxi was definitely not something a newcomer like Lin Yi could decide.
At least, it had to be approved by his superior, which was Department Director Zhong Xibei.
It’s understandable for young people to be impetuous and not know the gravity of the situation.
But Zhong Xibei was an experienced doctor who had seen all kinds of situations. How could he not know the stakes involved?
He didn’t even give the patient’s family the most basic notification. What on earth was he up to…?
“Yes! Old Zhong didn’t even come to the meeting. What on earth is he doing?”
“Lin Yi is new and ignorant, but why is Director Zhong also joining in the nonsense?”
“Was the situation so urgent that there wasn’t time to notify the patient’s family?”
“The Emergency Department has the right to handle such situations when rescuing critically ill patients…”
After hearing the Director’s reminder, the Department Directors suddenly realized.
Everyone speculated about Zhong Xibei’s true reason for doing this.
“No matter what the situation was, whether Director Zhong had the authority to do this or not,”
“before the patient’s family’s demands are resolved, Lin Yi is definitely not suitable to participate in Zhang Yuxi’s surgery again.”
“I still propose to suspend Lin Yi first.”
“Yesterday’s and today’s matters absolutely cannot be conflated!”
Director Bai’s face was a bit red, and he continued to insist, annoyed and embarrassed.
If his proposal was completely rejected, it would mean his prestige was utterly ruined.
No matter what, he had to achieve at least part of his goal.
Zhong Xibei was an old, experienced Department Director, and he didn’t have the confidence to confront him directly, so he chose to pick on Lin Yi, who had only been working for two days.
Who told this young man to act even more detestable than Lu Chenxi…?
“Right! What this doctor said is absolutely correct.”
“As long as you fire Lin Yi immediately, I can drop today’s matter.”
“A reckless person like Lin Yi, who acts on his own initiative, simply doesn’t have the qualifications to be a doctor!”
Seeing that the doctors couldn’t agree on a unified opinion,
to resolve the matter quickly, Wu You even stood from the Hospital’s perspective, demanding that only Lin Yi be dealt with.
Presumably, with the mindset of turning a big problem into a small one, and a small problem into nothing,
the Hospital’s high-level management would have no reason not to accept such a win-win solution to reduce unnecessary trouble.
In Wu You’s understanding, aren’t leaders in general organizations all like this?
Anyway, for him, as long as Lin Yi didn’t interfere with Zhang Yuxi’s treatment,
his plan would be foolproof…
“Stop arguing, all of you!”
Director Cui sternly ordered everyone to shut up.
“All of you, follow me to the Emergency Department.”
“You dare to draw a final conclusion without even clarifying the facts!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Director Cui had already strode out of the conference room.
The Department Directors quickly got up and followed behind the Director…
