70 Help Us Please (2/2)

Li Xiuying stopped examining Yu Guan-Yin's neck.

Li Xiuying: ”One moment.” She took out her phone and read the words that Yu Guan-Yin had typed. Three little words were written ”Help us please.”

Li Xiuying looked into Yu Guan-Yin's eyes and nodded. She then palpated Yu Guan-Yin's abdomen.

She opened the curtain and closed it behind her.

Li Xiuying: ”Mrs. Cheng can you follow me so we can discuss your daughter's management please.”

Mrs. Cheng nodded. Li Xiuying stepped out of the room. Outside there were two doctors waiting.

Li Xiuying look at one of the female doctors: ”Dr. Ma I am just taking Mrs. Cheng to discuss the management options. Please follow us to the relative's room.”

...

They entered the relative's room and each took a seat.

Cheng Meilin: ”Does Guan-Yin have anything serious? What investigations have to be undertaken? I don't mind any tests that need to be done as long as they can help my Yin get better.”

Cheng Meilin continued her one person monologue about Yu Guan-Yin's poor health.

Li Xiuying: ”Mrs. Cheng I have some news that may be shocking for you're to hear.”

Cheng Meilin anxiously said: ” What is it Dr. Li? Did you find something wrong with my Yin?”

Li Xiuying didn't elaborate. Instead she formally introduced her colleague: ”Dr. Ma is a psychiatrist. I have called her here today to help with the management of Yu Guan-Yin.”

Cheng Meilin: ”Do you think Yu Guan-Yin is suffering from sort of mental illness? She does suffer from depression. Does she require a psych consult for something else?”

Dr. Ma: ”Mrs. Cheng, Dr. Li has informed me about your daughter's medical history. Is there anything you would like to tell us about your daughter's symptoms and illness?” Dr. Ma tried her best not to be too confrontational.

Cheng Meilin was starting to feel that something wasn't right: ”I've already told you everything that's relevant.”

Dr. Ma: ”In the past several years, your daughter has undergone numerous investigations and procedures which all came back normal.”

Cheng Meilin became upset and panicked: ”Then why would she keep complaining that she's feeling ill? I thought that this hospital actually had qualified doctors not a group of quacks. Are you saying that she's been lying? Why am I even bothering to talk to you?! I'm taking my daughter and leaving right now!” She stood up from her seat and was about to rush to the door.

Li Xiuying cold voice stopped Cheng Meilin in her tracks: ”That's not going to happen.”

Cheng Meilin: ”What? What do you mean?! I would like to see you stop me!!!!”

Dr. Ma: ”Mrs. Cheng. We don't think that Cheng Meilin is suffering from mental illness.”

Cheng Meilin: ”Then why are you here? Why are you interrogating me about Guan-Yin's medical history?! I've told you everything already!”

Dr. Ma: ”Mrs Cheng. Dr. Li and I believe that you are the one who is exhibiting signs of a mental illness. Based on Yu Guan-Yin's medical history and...”

Cheng Meilin started shouting: ”What!!! That's even more ludicrous!!! Both of you are quacks!!! I've heard more than enough of your nonsense. I'm leaving with my daughter right now.”

Li Xiuying stood from her seat and looked into Cheng Meilin's eyes.

Cheng Meilin felt like her soul was being placed in a vice.

Li Xiuying: ”Yu Guan-Yin stays.” She then exited the room. There was nothing more she could personally do for Cheng Meilin. It would be up to Dr. Ma and the rest of the psychiatric team.

Cheng Meilin began screaming after Li Xiuying.

When Dr. Li walked out she saw two security guards.

Li Xiuying: ”Ensure Dr. Ma's safety.” She then made her way to Private Suite 3.
