260 A Serious Matter (1/2)
However, there were only a few security guards in the hospital and they were unable to stop the crowd.
”What's going on?!”
It was then that a loud yell was heard, sending the crowd into a brief silence.
A middle-aged man in a white coat was seen walking over quickly. Behind him were several doctors and nurses.
”It's Director Chen from the hospital!” Many people exclaimed and stood to one side with awe on their faces.
”Director Chen is here. I wonder how this matter will be dealt with?”
”Since he's here, I'm eighty percent sure that the man can't do anything about it. The patients are all but forgotten once the hospital is famous!”
”Yeah, many people suffered because of the hospital but dare not speak up even though they're angry!”
”How many hospitals are doing it for the people now? It's all about the money!”
Director Chen was the deputy director of the hospital and had much more authority than normal doctors. He was responsible for miscellaneous matters within the hospital and he also handled many arguments among doctors. Although his authority was not all-encompassing, the ordinary person would regard that authority as very important because it was directly interrelated to his own life.
It was clear, however, that he did not have a good reputation.
”Director Chen, you're here.” The doctor breathed a sigh of relief and immediately stood up. He pointed at Ye Lingchen and his parents. ”This group of people came to the hospital to make trouble. They're accusing me of insulting our hospital's reputation!”
Then he pointed to Ye Jin, ”He is also a doctor and I have no idea what's he intends to achieve by discrediting me!”
Director Chen's eyes fell on Ye Jin. A touch of seriousness flashed in his eyes along with pride. He asked, ”You're a doctor from which hospital?”
”Rugao City Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital.” Ye Jin replied faintly.
”Rugao City?” The disdain in Director Chen's eyes was apparent. ”A small, uninfluential county? You insult your pears and discredit Metropolis Hospital. Your character is questionable, and your medical qualification certificate will be revoked. Say goodbye to medical practice. ”
His tone was faint and he declared Ye Jin's end as though he was talking about some ordinary thing.
”On what grounds? Your hospital's doctor is clearly the problem here!” Ye Jin looked blankly at Director Chen for a brief moment.
Ye Jin's face turned red instantly and he was very angry.
He never thought that the doctors in that hospital would be so abominable.
A complete disregard for reason, as well as turning a blind eye to right and wrong, was suggestive of indiscriminate protection of unethical doctors.
Ye Jin even started to doubt humanity itself. Did doctors in such big cities have no medical ethics at all?
Leaving aside the wanton prescribing of medicine to spur patients into spending money, it was simply absurd to be prescribing wrong medicines that were aimed at deliberately deceiving the patients.
”Everyone can leave now. Seek treatment if you are ill, but if you're not, please don't disturb the patients. This incident is a result of someone malicious trying to find fault, but it's all good now...” Director Chen waved his hand and started to usher everyone out.
One could either choose to get treated or not. Hospitals were oppressive that way.
”This is too brutal! I'll report you!” The fisherman froze for a long time before roaring out in his helpless voice.
”Our conscience is clear and we are not afraid of malicious discrediting!” Director Chen sneered. ”If you don't trust in our hospital, you go to other ones. If you stay here, I'll call the police and have them arrest you!”
Those simple sentences cleared the tension, distorted the truth, and even made threats. It would surely be a big blow to the man.
The mess was cleared up in one swift move, leaving everyone lost for words.
