Chinese medicine: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 343: Lawsuit? No regrets!

Tan Zhongyu was certain that Zhou Yanqing would not be punished or suffer any substantial harm in this matter, so he did not tell Zhou Yanqing immediately.

Because the incident between Zhou Yanqing and Zhan Pengfei was not a medical accident, but a medical dispute, and the patient was dissatisfied with the results of the operation.

But the effect of this surgery is already higher than the national level!

With such treatment results, Zhou Yanqing would not lose the lawsuit even if he went to any place.

Therefore, he felt that he could handle it, but he did not consider that Zhou Yanqing was acting unilaterally and did not want to swallow his anger at all.

Zhou Yanqing would never accept such a thing unilaterally, including broken teeth and blood!
Moreover, Zhou Yanqing is a man who does what he says!
After finishing the ward rounds, he directly explained the situation to his fellow doctors and the attending physicians, asking them to talk to those who wanted to undergo functional rehabilitation surgery before they could be discharged from the hospital.

"If you can't get out of the hospital after talking to me, come to me and I will talk to the patient myself."

"You just say that Dr. Zhou Yanqing is involved in a lawsuit, and he has to prepare for the lawsuit, so he can't spare time to perform the surgery. A lawsuit is a big deal for a person, and it will be very troublesome if he loses..." Zhou Yanqing didn't even boast about his own skills, but just laid everything out in the open.

Tan Zhongyu saw what Zhou Yanqing did but did not try to stop him.

Although, if Zhou Yanqing followed his arrangements, he could gain fame in the industry and have better relationships with people from other systems.

The most rational level is that if someone owes him a favor and he can cover the cost, he won't care about the matter.

But, the most direct level is, if you mess with me, I will repay you with honesty! ~
Zhan Pengfei was sent over there, and everything was agreed upon in advance. Now he suddenly goes crazy, why should I indulge him?
As for whether he will be dealt with internally and whether he will be able to continue to stay in the circle in the future, it was not me who ordered him to do so.

So, in fact, Zhou Yanqing’s choice was not wrong.

Zhou Yanqing is the person involved, and he is afraid of the possibility of losing his career, even if there is a one in ten thousand chance.

I can't make the decision for Zhou Yanqing, persuade Zhou Yanqing to give up, or ignore it!
……

After Zhou Yanqing finished explaining, he went to the hospital's legal department and consulted the matter seriously.

"Lawyer Lou, this means that under the current circumstances, the other party has not made a false accusation?" Zhou Yanqing asked.

"Yes, false accusation refers to the illegal and criminal behavior of fabricating facts, forging evidence, and accusing and framing others."

"The patient who is suing you now has not fabricated facts or forged evidence."

"You just found out about this? That's strange." Lawyer Lou was very surprised.

"Well, if I am the defendant in a medical dispute, I can stay out of court to avoid further exacerbating the conflict."

"My teacher chose not to tell me for the time being in order to protect my emotions, and the other party is just starting the litigation process..."

"Well, the litigation process takes a long time! ~ This process is very troublesome." Lawyer Lou said.

Zhou Yanqing said: "The longer the process takes, the better it is."

"Lawyer Lou, the other party's statement is that I made a mistake in diagnosis and treatment, which led to the poor results of the surgery. Does this count as a rumor or slander?"

Lawyer Lou also shook his head: "It is difficult to define before the results of the medical appraisal are confirmed, but according to your professors of hand surgery, none of you have committed any medical errors."

"This is definitely not a medical accident. As for whether the patient's postoperative functional expectations do not match the reality, whether it will be defined as 'medical misconduct', this still needs to be determined by a group of experts or the medical association."

"Generally speaking, we won't make a determination of medical malpractice."

"It's just that this is a new surgical procedure, but fortunately the ethical assessment and technical safety assessment were done before the operation, so it won't be particularly troublesome."

Zhou Yanqing frowned when he came out of the legal office.

Zhan Pengfei was also quite cunning. He did not make any requests. His only request was that Dr. Zhou Yanqing find a way to perform a second operation on him in order to achieve better functional recovery.

He doesn't want any compensation, he just wants good health.

The other party understands the law, and is even slightly proficient in it! ~
However, just as Zhou Yanqing walked back to the department from the administrative building, he saw an acquaintance "Zhan Pengfei" and a leader Zhou Yanqing had seen before.

They are right at the door of the hand surgery department.

Zhou Yanqing faced them head on and did not choose to ignore them, but just tried hard to force a smile.

"Hello, leader, hello, Officer Zhan!~"

Zhan Pengfei didn't say anything, but the middle-aged man standing next to him glanced at him coldly: "Zhan Pengfei, why are you still standing there?"

“Apologize!~”

"You were injured yourself. Your initial injury had nothing to do with Dr. Zhou. You are so blinded by greed. Don't implicate other brothers."

The leader concealed Zhan Pengfei's other thought, which was that he failed to get a promotion, so he wanted to take revenge maliciously in the hope that Zhou Yanqing could find a way to further "rehabilitate" his functions, which might give him a promotion and a raise.

He did have some merits, but his health was not good, so he could not move up and had to change his job...

Maybe Zhan Pengfei himself has strong connections inside, so when he made trouble before, no one intervened. He also wanted to put pressure on Zhou Yanqing, and maybe he could stimulate Zhou Yanqing's potential.

But Zhou Yanqing was just desperate. He went berserk after he came back and said, "No one should have surgery anymore. I'm going to sue you..."

A medical dispute is a particularly good reason to refuse surgery, and the medical dispute Zhou Yanqing responded to was about functional rehabilitation surgery.

No one else can say that Zhou Yanqing refused to treat patients or failed to fulfill his medical obligations.

Zhou Yanqing has given up, so how can other people possibly indulge you, Zhan Pengfei? Your surgery is not effective, so don't make it so that others can't have surgery, right?
Many people who had been injured during previous missions were still hoping that they could recover some of their functions through surgery.

Maybe I'll be lucky and meet the requirements to stay on the team and keep my job, and get a promotion and a raise?
What's more, some of the patients who are able to squeeze into Xiangya Hospital for surgery have strong family connections. This has put pressure on Zhan Pengfei's unit.

If Zhan Pengfei was really disabled by Zhou Yanqing's surgery, that would be fine, but they were also worried that the surgery would not be effective.

But they didn't do anything bad, they just didn't do it well enough. If you sue them, aren't you just bullying them?

Zhou Yanqing’s current function cannot be replaced. Outside of this department, oh no, without Zhou Yanqing, there will be no place in the province or the country that can perform functional rehabilitation surgery.

He is irreplaceable, and if you mess with him again, the impact will be quite wide.

In just two hours, the time that Zhou Yanqing went for consultation, Zhan Pengfei was brought over by his leader to apologize.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Zhou, I was wrong!" Zhan Pengfei's apology was certainly not sincere enough, and even seemed a little forced.

Zhou Yanqing took a deep breath and replied, "It's okay, Officer Zhan, it's your right to have an opinion about me!~"

"It is your right to file a complaint. I am just a nobody and can only think of ways to deal with it. If I cannot deal with it, there is nothing I can do even if I take off my clothes."

"I'm just an ordinary person." Zhou Yanqing continued, "Ordinary people are afraid of lawsuits, so I must do my best. I think I am worthy of you, worthy of the surgery I performed on you, and worthy of the clothes I wear."

"It's just that I may not have met your requirements, so I apologize to you. As for the follow-up, you are still free to make your own choice."

"And my choice is also my freedom."

Zhou Yanqing walked into the department without saying anything harsh.

The leader next to him gave Zhou Yanqing a fierce look, followed him in quickly, and said with a smile, "Doctor Zhou, calm down, don't worry."

"I'm here to solve the problem. Zhan Pengfei just couldn't figure it out for a while, and we just found out about it."

"Isn't this nonsense?"

"Don't worry, Dr. Zhou, the lawsuit will be resolved quickly and will not affect your personal life and normal work."

"I can guarantee you this!"

This time, among the patients awaiting surgery, one is a direct relative of a provincial party committee leader!
He couldn't find out directly who it was, but after hearing that Zhou Yanqing was going to postpone the operation and discharge the patient from the hospital, the big boss called him directly.

And this one is no weaker than the one in Zhan Pengfei's family! ~
If someone's immediate family members were driven away just to force Zhou Yanqing to do everything he could to fight for a future for Zhan Pengfei, it would be totally unreasonable.

Zhan Pengfei himself did not handle the matter well, mainly because the attitude of Tan Zhongyu and others was too tough. They refused to admit fault and insisted on taking legal action directly.

Tan Zhongyu is not a "slut" who is easy to mess with. This matter cannot be done secretly, but only openly, because Tan Zhongyu's network of connections is quite wide.

This has led to the embarrassing situation we are in now.

"Leader, if your promise is useful, it worked last time."

Zhou Yanqing continued to say: "I won't do this surgery. I am not violating any laws. Besides, I can still eat after doing other surgeries."

The slightly plump middle-aged man's face turned blood red.

But even though Zhou Yanqing threatened him like this, he could only swallow his saliva secretly.

Because Zhou Yanqing was able to "drive people away", which was completely a rogue act. If the other party really wanted to be a rogue, even if he locked Zhou Yanqing up, and Zhou Yanqing said he didn't want to have the operation, who could force him?
Forcing doctors to perform surgery?
This idea is too clear.

"Doctor Zhou, calm down. We have a lot of tasks to do. We can't keep an eye on everything here every day. You know, we have a lot of tasks to do too."

“Actually, I’m very busy…”

Zhou Yanqing continued: "Leader, if someone calls the police and says he lost his money."

"Or if there was a fire, he went back and reported you for not recovering compensation for him, and for not making money after his house burned down."

"You just found the lost property and put out the fire. How do you feel when someone complains against you?"

The middle-aged man's expression froze, but he didn't react at all.

But he also knew that Zhou Yanqing's anger had almost subsided by now.

"Doctor Zhou, don't worry. Just trust me once. We can definitely handle this matter!" said the middle-aged man.

Zhou Yanqing took another deep breath and said, "In fact, I have great respect for the leaders of your unit and the people who come here for treatment."

"Part of the reason why I took the trouble to develop this surgery is that I hope these heroes who have dedicated themselves to protecting our city can get a better ending."

“Although I can’t say that I can protect them, I can make their lives better.”

"Otherwise, I wouldn't bother with cosmetic surgeries like this."

"I met a lot of lovely people before!~"

"But what I want to say now is that no matter how lovely a group of people are, there will always be bad apples among them." Zhou Yanqing cursed directly.

After saying that, Zhou Yanqing left.

The middle-aged man's face was gloomy.

Speaking of this matter, it was actually Zhan Pengfei and others who wanted to play with power!

For his own purposes, he wanted to put unilateral pressure on Zhou Yanqing. If Zhou Yanqing or Tan Zhongyu couldn't stand the pressure and really thought of a way, Zhan Pengfei could really return to the team.

……

After Zhou Yanqing instructed everyone to persuade the crowd to leave, many people were actually unwilling to do so, so they found Tan Zhongyu, who also came forward to stabilize the patients temporarily.

In order to assure the patients, he went to persuade Zhou Yanqing!

Therefore, the matter of persuading the patient to be discharged from the hospital was not carried out directly, which gave them time for mediation.

However, Tan Zhongyu did not reply to these people immediately.

When Zhou Yanqing saw Tan Zhongyu again, Tan Zhongyu said solemnly: "Yanqing, Master also wants to apologize to you. Master also made some mistakes in this matter."

"Master only wants you to avoid being punished and to bring fame to our hospital and department."

"Master really did something wrong."

Zhou Yanqing pursed his lips and shook his head gently: "Master, it's okay, as long as the matter has been resolved."

But I secretly said in my heart, actually, except for my parents who are worried about my safety, health, etc., everyone else's kindness to me is conditional.

In fact, Tan Zhongyu has been good enough to himself. He just weighs the pros and cons in certain situations.

The balance of power is not biased towards one's own safety, and one feels that there is still room for "manipulation" in this matter!

Because he felt that the result he talked about was very good.

But Zhou Yanqing doesn't think so. If there is any factor that may affect Zhou Yanqing's future, he will not let such a thing happen or proceed.

Because this job and this outfit are what Zhou Yanqing eats...

Even now, Zhou Yanqing has no regrets.
