This doctor has a system

Chapter 624, Section 686: Wanting to exchange cold family members for warm RMB.

"Someone in their family has died, what's wrong with causing a scene?" someone replied.

The remaining netizens remained neutral.

"Let's wait for the official announcement. I don't even dare to comment now that I'm in this situation," said netizen Jiuqianyishen.

"Indeed, the current public opinion keeps changing, making us feel like idiots," commented a netizen with a small chest but a brain.

"Yes, there was a family member who made a huge fuss last time. In the end, their goal was to exchange their cold family members for warm RMB."

The hospital quickly took notice of the public opinion, and Vice President Hong, who was in charge of publicity, was very unhappy.

"Didn't Ma Liang get into trouble a while ago? Someone told me he got into a fight with a patient!"

"Dean Hong, you're new here and might not know, but there was a reason for what happened that time," Director Dong of the emergency department explained, forcing a smile.

"What do you mean by 'there was a reason'?!" Vice President Hong demanded. "As a doctor, you should never lay a hand on a patient under any circumstances!"

"You keep saying 'patient-centered' all the time! Is your emergency department just all talk and no action?!"

"Old Dong, what kind of department are you managing? Why didn't you get rid of this black sheep immediately?!"

"Now look what's happened! Someone just died out of nowhere. Do you know how much damage this does to the hospital's image?!"

"Also, so what if I just arrived? Just because I'm new doesn't mean I'm unfamiliar with the hospital!"

“Yes, that’s right,” Director Dong echoed. “But this isn’t Ma Liang’s fault.” Before Director Dong could finish speaking, Vice Dean Hong interrupted him.

"Whose fault is it! Yours or mine?"

"Damn it, what a piece of trash!" Director Dong couldn't help but curse inwardly as he left the office. This new Vice President Hong was even more difficult to deal with than the previous Vice President Liu.

The other party likes to escalate things, and their every word is always about putting the patient first and prioritizing the patient's interests.

After thinking for a moment, Director Dong went straight to the Medical Education Department.

"Old Dong, you're here. Please have a seat here," said Xin Xiangshan, director of the Medical Education Department.

"Oh dear, there's always something going on every day!" Dong Zhida plopped down in a chair. He was quite familiar with Xin Xiangshan, so he spoke relatively casually.

"Did Dean Hong scold you?" Xin Xiangshan got up and poured him a glass of water.

"How did you know?" Director Dong glanced at him sideways.

“The incident that happened in your department a few days ago has been all over the news, Dean Hong must be very upset,” Xin Xiangshan said with a smile. “I also got a lot of blame for it.”

Upon hearing this, Director Dong instantly felt much better.

"Old Xin, what exactly does the family mean? Are they going to take legal action?"

“They should pass away,” Xin Xiangshan said. “We communicated again yesterday, and the family is still hesitant about whether to have an autopsy.”

An autopsy, or cadaver dissection, is a medical procedure that involves examining a deceased organism to determine the cause of death.

Autopsies involving medical disputes must be performed by autopsy institutions designated by the health administration department.

Jia Tianyuan's death was sudden, and at this time, an autopsy is the best way to determine the cause of death.

However, the family members are definitely unwilling to accept an autopsy.

Traditional Chinese culture emphasizes respect for the deceased and the integrity of the body, believing that the body should be kept intact after death.

Autopsies are considered disrespectful to the deceased and their families, and even blasphemous.

Especially during the grief of a loved one's recent death, family members are often in a state of extreme emotional distress and find it difficult to accept further disturbance of the body.

But the matter has reached a stalemate.

The Medical Dispute Mediation Committee has organized two mediation sessions between the hospital and the patient, but no progress has been made. Jia Tianyuan's wife has not demanded any financial compensation, but has instead insisted on holding Ma Liang accountable; they have even reported the incident to the police station.

Of course, the latter case was not filed.

Generally speaking, police stations are very cautious when initiating investigations into such medical disputes.

Doctors are usually not criminally liable if there is insufficient evidence to show that they intentionally harmed a patient.

"So their purpose in conducting the autopsy was also to pursue our responsibility?" Director Dong asked.

“Yes,” Xin Xiangshan said.

“I also think it would be appropriate to conduct an autopsy.” Director Dong believed that Ma Liang’s handling of the situation was not problematic, but he was very curious as to why the patient had died suddenly.

"Then just wait and see, the patient will make a decision in the next couple of days."

"It's Vice Dean Hong's side," Director Dong frowned, "He wants me to investigate the responsibility."

"The matter isn't settled yet, so what's the point of pursuing responsibility at this point?" Xin Xiangshan was somewhat speechless.

He had barely finished speaking when the phone rang.

"Dean Hong, Ma Liang has already been asked to go home and reflect on his actions. Should we wait until things are clearer before deciding how to deal with him?"

"Yes, yes, you're right." Xin Xiangshan looked up at Director Dong across from him.

"But according to procedure, this requires the joint approval of the medical malpractice committee after the matter is concluded."

"Dean Hong, that's not what I meant. Okay, okay."

After hanging up the phone, Xin Xiangshan's expression was quite unpleasant.

"Old Dong, the ability to be born into the right family is really important."

"Look at some people, they don't even have a brain, but they're... sigh..."

"What did he say?" Dong Zhida asked.

"Let me draft a document to first give Ma Liang a hospital-wide reprimand, and then find a way to get rid of him." Xin Xiangshan's expression was strange.

“Ma Liang is a government employee,” Dong Zhida said. “His word alone doesn’t count!”

"Isn't Ma Liang on good terms with Director Gao?" Xin Xiangshan remembered this. "Should you talk to Director Gao about it?"

“Okay, I’ll go find him now.” Dong Zhida immediately stood up. “Wait for my message here.”

"There's no result yet, and they're already sentencing them? That's outrageous!"

After Director Dong left, Xin Xiangshan also got up and went to the office of the vice president in charge of medical affairs.

Although Vice President Hong is also a hospital leader, he is not in charge of the Medical Education Department. You have to listen to what he says, but whether you do it or not depends on what your direct superiors say.

"Director Gao, are you busy right now? I need to talk to you about something."

“I’m in my office, come on over,” Gao Feng replied.

After hearing Dong Zhida's words, Gao Feng frowned.

"Our hospital also has a Vice President Hong, right?"

“The former Vice Dean Liu, who was in charge of this area, applied for a transfer. Vice Dean Hong has been here for two months. He used to work at a university,” said Li Youliang, who was standing nearby. “He is also in charge of publicity.”

"This person likes to say some positive things, but it seems that people don't particularly agree with him."

"Youliang, you're quite tactful," Dong Zhida couldn't help but laugh. "Is it disagreement? That's utterly dislike."
