Female doctor: ”Hey you stop right there!”
The female doctor saw that Li Xiuying had no intention of stopping; she started to pick up her pace. Her heels clicked loudly as they hit the floor.
Whilst the doctor gave chase; Li Xiuying was already started pushing her trolley away.
The female doctor ran up beside Li Xiuying's trolley and held on to it. Li Xiuying finally stopped.
Li Xiuying: ”This is my trolley.”
Female doctor huffed: ”I'm not trying to take your trolley! Did you not hear me calling you from behind?!
Li Xiuying just looked at the woman expressionlessly.
Female doctor got even angrier as Li Xiuying continued to stare at her. ”What were you doing back there?!”
Li Xiuying: ”Heimlich maneuver.”
The female doctor removed her hand from the trolley and spoke. Her voice was arrogant with an edge of anger to her voice: ”That's not what I meant. I know you performed the Heimlich maneuver! Do you think that I, Dr. He Meiying wouldn't even know something so basic!!! What I meant was why did you interfere with my treatment? You clearly saw that I had already started taking charge of the situation; so it was extremely rude for you to interrupt a professional doing their job. Do you not understand basic courtesy?”
Li Xiuying spoke expressionlessly: ”You wanted me to allow you perform an unnecessarily invasive procedure on a conscious and aware patient without even having done a basic assessment and tried out the recommended less invasive maneuvers first?”
Dr. He Meiying's voice rose higher, ignored Li Xiuying's words: ”I was already treating the patient and I had it under control. You should have respected MY decision. I'm the doctor here and clearly my medical opinion matters more than the opinion of someone with no qualifications. I felt that the patient was in danger and his airways were significantly compromised enough to necessitate a tracheostomy.”
Li Xiuying stood silently assessing He Meiying.
Dr. He Meiying on seeing Li Xiuying go silent had a look of triumph on her face.
Humph, so you finally realized what you did wrong?!
Dr. He Meiying used a condescending tone as she spoke: ”Look we all make mistakes, its good that you've realized yours. Make sure you don't repeat what you just did again with someone else. You're lucky that I'm so forgiving and I'll let you go with a simple apology.”
Li Xiuying continued to look at He Meiying expressionlessly; she then looked around the aisle.
Dr. He Meiying on seeing that Li Xiuying was idly looking around clearly ignoring her became frustrated. She creased her brows.
Did this woman think that she could take my leniency as a weakness!
