Chapter 5 - LEARN FROM THEIR MISTAKES (1/2)
Inside the office, the couple begged not to allow the news to leak out. The two have already a highly publicized life. If the press gets a whiff of what happened to their son, they'll surely flock the hospital.
This is also the last thing Jingyi needed. Reporters swarming in the trauma department.
The Chief promised. But while listening, Jingyi smirked. She didn't believe he will keep his word. Because Dr. Zhao was an opportunist. He will exploit anyone to his advantage. He'll use the opportunity for publicity. Not the hospital's but to put his name in the spotlight.
A simper grew on Luo Jingyi's lips.
”As if I'll let you have it,” she muttered as she left the man's office.
As she surmised, reporters had flocked the hospital by the time she got to the ER. She told the nurse to call the guards.
”Hmm—I don't know. He was shot on his abdomen. When he came here, he didn't have a pulse. So we tried to—” Intern B paused when she felt someone looking at her intently. When she glanced ahead, she saw Dr. Luo standing not so far.
”Oh, there is Dr. Luo. She was the one who operated on him.”
Suddenly, the mics were in front of Jingyi.
”Dr. Luo, what happened to Yun Jian? ”
”Doctor, will he recover? ”
”What injuries did he sustain? ”
”Why was he shot? ”
Multiple questions were shot at once.
”What am I, the police? How would I know why he was shot?”
The question startled the reporters. By the time they recovered, Dr. Luo was already steps away. The other doctor who was giving them information earlier was gone too. The guards suddenly appeared and threw them out of the hospital.
….
Inside her office, five interns stood with their heads down. Not wanting to look onto Jingyi's eyes. While the senior and junior resident waited for Dr. Luo to scold them.
Luo Jingyi sat quietly and was tapping her fingers on the table. Just sitting there made them uncomfortable.
After much tension, Jingyi asked Intern B, ”Dr. He, do you know what you did wrong?”
”Not wearing mask and cap was just a simple mistake.” she pouted.
”Simple?” Jingyi's eyes dimmed. She's going to have a headache just dealing with her.
”Dr. Feng, why do we need to wear appropriate attire inside the OR?” Jingyi asked blue girl.
”It is to avoid equipment contamination and to ensure the patient's safety and protection. If not, the rate of SSI will be high.”
”Did you hear that?”
”But--ouch!” A resident stepped on her foot.
Stubborn. Jingyi thought. Today was the interns' third day but Dr. He was starting to annoy her. The only reason why she was accepted to the program was that her father was the VP of the hospital. He begged the Chief. Obviously, her being a spoiled brat thinks she can do whatever she wants in the hospital. However, what Jingyi hates the most are the privileged people. Those who can get what they want without lifting a finger.
Internally, she let out air before scolding them. ”Remember this and drill it into your head. When life is at stake, the simplest errors are the most unforgivable. This minuscule mistake in your eyes has serious repercussions. It was a miracle to save a dying child but you are going to ruin his survival rate because of post-op complications? What if he gets an infection?”
