Chapter 501 - Without People Present, What Was The Point Of Asking For Money? (1/2)

Lawyer Ge went to the side and busied himself. Although he did not bring his a.s.sistant this time, he was extremely skilled in his work.

Zheng Ren immediately went to Old Chief Physician Old Pan and Chief Zhou, giving them a detailed report on the matter.

Chief Zhou was a little unhappy that Old Chief Physician Old Pan had forcefully pulled him over. However, when he heard Zheng Ren’s report, he became serious.

In essence, Medical Services did not need to be involved in this matter at all as it had nothing to do with the emergency department.

Once the patient’s parents approved, the patient would be extubated, suffer from respiratory failure, die, and be cremated. That was the normal procedure. No one could say no to it.

However… A young girl in her early twenties would be gone just like this?

The point was that she did not have an incurable disease. It was just patent ductus arteriosus.

“Zheng Ren, what did the lawyer say?” Chief Zhou did not have a good impression of Lawyer Ge. The memory of Lawyer Ge’s arrogant face in the Traffic Police office was still fresh in Chief Zhou’s mind.

Therefore, he did not want to ask Lawyer Ge. He only asked Zheng Ren.

“As long as the patient is not in a vegetative state and signs a legal agreement, she can be treated according to the client’s wishes,” Zheng Ren said.

“Can anyone be entrusted with her decision?”

“She has a boyfriend who has been insisting on her treatment.” Zheng Ren continued, “Regarding the fees, I’ll discuss it with her boyfriend and strive to not default the hospital fees.”

“For this, I’ll apply to reduce a part of the fees,” Chief Zhou said. “The fee can’t be entirely voided, but at least this will somewhat alleviate their financial burden.”

After that, he smiled. “You’re a good person. I can’t let you be the only one who bears the brunt of this.”

Zheng Ren knew that Chief Zhou was supporting him.

If it was anyone else, perhaps Chief Zhou would have thrown a tantrum and scolded the other person.

Zheng Ren did not know who was in charge of such patients. Perhaps it was the Civil Affairs Bureau? Who knew.

However, as a witness and a doctor who could treat the patient’s illnesses, Zheng Ren decided to get involved in this mess.

It was a risky act but was supported by many people. Zheng Ren knew that he owed a lot of favors.

However, a favor could slowly be repaid.

How many favors did he owe? How important was it compared to a person’s life?

“It’s better for the hospital to intervene in matters like these,” Chief Zhou said firmly. “Use Lawyer Ge’s doc.u.ments but have the hospital’s legal consultant take a look.”

Zheng Ren nodded. Old Chief Physician Pan stood quietly at the side without saying a word.

He did not have to say anything. He had already done his best by bringing Chief Zhou over from home after work.

Lawyer Ge also knew that Chief Zhou was talking about the normal procedure. The hospital coming forward meant that there would be less pressure, so he agreed readily.

“What’s the probability of the patient being saved?” Chief Zhou asked.

“The patient’s been diagnosed with having patent ductus arteriosus and double pneumonia. The inflammation has been basically controlled but is still in the absorption stage. Because of the patent ductus arteriosus, their blood oxygen level has been very low,” Su Yun said. “If the situation allows for it, we should seize the time to plug the ductus arteriosus at the emergency department. The ductus arteriosus will be pulled out within three days… No, within a day.”

Chief Zhou nodded.

Su Yun looked at Zheng Ren.

“I’m fine here. If necessary, the surgery can be done overnight.” Zheng Ren went all out. The risk was no longer a problem.

Besides, it would not take more than ten minutes to plug the ductus arteriosus. The risk was almost negligible.
