1011 Doctor Qu (1/2)
”Doctor Zuo, I'm really sorry.” Liu Cishan of the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery was the most embarrassed one after causing such chaos.
Zuo Cidian's smile faded as he said, ”Now that things have progressed in this manner, there's nothing to say anymore. Now, instead, we have to act carefully so as to not have the patient or his family members complain about us.”
”Yes, I have asked the doctor-in-charge to talk to the patient.” The person who represented the Orthopedics Department of the First People's Hospital of Wuxin City was also an associate chief physician.
Zuo Cidian nodded and said, ”There's nothing else apart from that. This kind of thing usually doesn't happen. I'll just notify Doctor Ling.”
”Okay, we will be more careful in the future.” Liu Cishan felt dejected.
The scale of the First Hospital of Yun Hua City was not very large. It was somehow similar to basic tertiary Grade A hospitals. Liu Cishan had worked in this hospital for twenty years. He was already very familiar with the people in the area, and he also had a very clear idea of how things go about in this sort of situation. Hence, he did not expect that he would end up embarrassing himself because of the patient's family.
However, for doctors, the unpredictable changes of diseases could never be compared with the changes in the patients' families.
Liu Cishan did not dare to promise anything as well. After a while, he laughed it off, and he was relieved that this matter was considered settled.
However, after sending off Zuo Cidian, the first thing the associate chief physician of the Orthopedics Department did was immediately calling for the patient's doctor-in-charge and asking him questions in detail while also giving him instructions.
The patient's doctor in-charge was a little uneasy.
The associate chief physician of the Orthopedics Department said, ”The patient's family members can't just hire a freelance surgeon without going through us. What did the patient's family say?”
”The patient's family members suggested that if it is not convenient for us to have the surgery, they would consider looking for a private hospital to have the surgery.”
The associate chief physician could not help but glance at Liu Cishan.
”This family is a little stubborn anyway, so it's better to send them off. But still, it's up to you.” Liu Cishan could not tell the people in the Orthopedics Department how to do their job. He could only give suggestions.
”The Achilles tendon repair is actually a minor surgery. The point is, the patient is still a coach, and he has requirements for his mobility. So, we introduced him to Doctor Ling's freelance surgery. Who would have guessed a sister like this would appear among the patient's family members?” the associate chief physician of the Orthopedics Department explained and said, ”If things just don't work out, it's best to transfer him to another hospital.”
Liu Cishan nodded. ”The thoughts of the patient and his families are rather hard to grasp.”
”Yes, I am also afraid they will be disgruntled again.”
”No matter what, Doctor Ling isn't making any complaints, so let's not worry.” Liu Cishan was also not quite certain about how he should progress with the situation now. Although once in a while, some of the patients' family members would do simple yet incredibly stupid things, doctors would also make inexplicable decisions because of certain reasons as well. So, he was not entirely too sure what Doctor Ling would truly do.

At the airport...
”Your coat, sir.” An air stewardess smiled and handed over a new Gucci coat to Doctor Qu.
”Thank you.” Doctor Qu took his coat with a smile on his face and stretched out his hand to pick up his suitcase. He felt relaxed.
He bought the coat using the money he made from the freelance surgeries he performed previously. It cost as much as his current month's salary.
However, Doctor Qu did not care about this kind of thing now. Once a doctor started freelance surgeries, his perspective on money would change completely.
Doctor Qu walked out of the passage slowly, dragging the suitcase behind him without considering it as a burden.
In the Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center, there were various chief physicians and branch directors ranked above him, and there were a number of highly educated, talented young doctors with hair ranked below him. He was never able to relax in that environment.
