Chapter 373 - A Man of Integrity? (1/2)
Chapter 373 A Man of Integrity?Hua Zi’an’s face changed and he stated, “Then I remember. Lu Fei, you are the doctor in charge for this operation. Can’t you bear some responsibility?”
“Now, Hua Zi’an, you remember I’m the doctor in charge. Do you want to beg me?” Lu Fei asked with great pride. “You all heard it just now. I made it very clear that whatever happened, this operation had nothing to do with me.”
His voice was loud and firm, and everyone heard him clearly.
Qin Haodong was amused. Hua Zi’an looked honest, but he was really a sly old fox. His few words made Lu Fei look like an idiot and burnt the bridge completely.
“That’s a relief,” said Hua Zi’an playfully, with a wry smile on his face. “Or I have to be afraid you’d take the credit.”
As these words were spoken, Feng Ziying was stunned and he walked forward, asking nervously, “Sir, do you mean, my brother?”
Hua Zi’an took a glance at him, then at Nalan Wuxia and other people who looked nervous, and uttered, “Let me tell you a piece of good news. The operation went very smoothly and successfully just now because of a magic dose of traditional Chinese medicine provided by Tang Feng, Doctor Tang in our clinic. The patient is now out of danger and is expected to come around soon.”
“The operation was difficult, and it’s all thanks to Doctor Tang’s traditional Chinese medicine, which protected the heart. So Doctor Tang didn’t come to the operating room, but he is the biggest contributor.”
At this point, he looked back at Lu Fei and said, “The success of this operation is not only a miracle of our Guangren Hospital, but also a miracle of the whole human medicine. I’m sure our hospital will reward the relevant people later.”
“Doctor Lu is a man of integrity and selflessness. You never take credit for anyone else’s work.”
Lu Fei’s face changed again and again, his brain racing, and he thought, “Has the wounded man really been rescued? No, that’s impossible.”
When he thought of Feng Zixiong’s nearly dead heart, he thought it was Hua Zi’an playing a trick on him. There should be no credit for him to take, and Hua Zi’an wanted to make him the scapegoat.
Then he smiled and said, “Hua Zi’an, do you think I’m a fool?” “You want me to share the blame with you, don’t you? Don’t even think about it.”
“By the time I left the operating room, the patient was dying and his heart could have stopped at any moment. There is little chance of survival in this situation. Just an hour later, you said the operation was successful and the patient was out of danger. Are you fooling a fool? I think the patient is dead, isn’t he?”
No sooner had he finished than he saw a huge fist appear before his eyes and bang on his face. The blow was so powerful that it sent him straight to the ground and two jets of blood gushed from his nostrils.
It was Feng Ziying who made the move. He glared at Lu Fei and shouted, “As a doctor, instead of being pleased to hear that my brother was all right, you cursed him to death. Are you a human being? Do you have any medical ethics?”
“I?”
Lu Fei was so bloodied from the blow on his nose and mouth that he could not speak. What he said was indeed too much, and even Zhang Lijun looked at him with discontent.
At the point, Fang Yuqi came out of the operating room and two nurses behind her pushed a bed on which lay Feng Zixiong.
Seeing Zhang Lijun also appear in front of the operating room, Fang Yuqi was slightly surprised and called, “Director?”
Then she realized at once what had happened. Lu Fei threatened to report them to the director, and it appeared that he did, and took the director to the operating room.
“Doctor Fang, what’s going on here?”
There was resentment in Zhang Lijun’s voice. He also didn’t believe what Hua Zi’an just said. In his opinion, traditional Chinese medicine could treat some small ailments such as colds and fevers, but it was unlikely to be of much help in surgery.
Fang Yuqi said, “Director, I had a disagreement with Doctor Lu during the operation. As an assistant, I completed the operation, and it was my fault. No matter how you deal with it, I have no opinion.”
Her manner was sincere, but Hua Zi’an was quite indifferent. He stepped forward and said, “Why punish you? You successfully performed this epic operation, saving a human life and the reputation of our hospital. You have so great merit that our hospital not only can’t punish you, but also give you a big reward?”
Zhang Lijun looked at him quizzically and asked, “Do you mean the patient is really all right?”
“Of course it’s true,” said Hua Zi’an. “I’m not going to lie.”
Zhang Lijun, still unconvinced, turned to Fang Yuqi.
Fang Yuqi nodded and responded, “Yes, director. The operation is a success. The patient is completely out of danger.”
“It’s a success. Great, that’s really great!”
Hearing the news, the police who had gathered around cheered. Just now they thought the operation had failed and Feng Zixiong was dead, so no one dared to approach the bed.
Feng Ziying cried with joy, and immediately rushed to the bed, which scared the nurses. They quickly stopped him and yelled, “The operation has just finished. Don’t touch the patient.”
“No! Don’t touch the patient!”
Feng Ziying looked at his brother in the hospital bed, still pale but breathing steadily and alive. He was too happy to speak.
