No one in the meeting room was in a hurry to express their opinion.

Vice Minister Li picked up the pilot program, flipped from the first page to the last page, and then back to the section on personnel qualifications.

Who is responsible for the independent assessment?

"I was in charge of the first round, while the Department of Medical Administration observed the entire process."

Ye Zhen pushed the performance evaluation sheet to the center of the table.

"The six tests are: puncture, angiography, guidewire release, instrument selection, crisis identification, and sheath removal for hemostasis."

"If any item scores below 90, exit the core operation position."

The head of the Medical Administration Department picked up the scoring sheet.

The form also includes sections for video recording number, instrument batch, postoperative follow-up, and signature of the reviewing personnel. If any item has a problem, the specific position can be traced back along the records.

An official from the Provincial Health Department tapped the table with a pen.

"You're the one conducting the evaluation, and your team is being evaluated. How can you guarantee you won't protect your own people?"

"All assessment videos will be sealed and randomly checked by the three parties."

"The rating is disputed; the result of the video review shall prevail."

"If the team underreports or omits any raw data, I will suspend their dual-platform access and accept an investigation."

She put down her pen and handed the proposal to Vice Minister Li.

"I take responsibility for the implementation of the system."

"Whether a child can step down safely is not something that anyone can guarantee."

"We rely on recording every ten minutes, on emergency response channels that can be activated at any time, and on regulations that require us to stop if a problem occurs."

The only sound in the meeting room was the rustling of papers.

Lin Yi suddenly pulled out a chair and stood up.

"I have something I'd like to request to be included in the pilot program file."

He pulled a self-written statement from the folder and placed it on the table with both hands.

"After Zhang Xiaobao's surgery, I was responsible for removing the sheath and applying pressure to stop the bleeding."

"A second instance of bleeding occurred at the nineteenth minute. I applied pressure again, and the actual time was twenty-three minutes."

"The extra three minutes were not the only reason for the blood clot formation, but I did not report it proactively or raise the patrol level after the compression time exceeded the limit."

"I request a record of disciplinary action, suspension of my independent withdrawal qualification, and re-participation in the assessment."

The head of the Medical Administration Department opened the documents.

The content is written in great detail.

From the timing of sheath removal and secondary bleeding to when he released his grip and when he handed over the reins, he didn't avoid any of these details.

"Think it over carefully."

"This document has been put into the personnel file, and it may be retrieved for future professional title evaluations or applications for further education."

"I've thought it through."

Lin Yi did not sit down.

"We cannot erase the mistakes made earlier just because the rescue was ultimately successful."

The head of the Medical Administration Department did not try to persuade him further and wrote the date of receipt in the upper right corner of his self-report.

Li Hong then got up.

"I am responsible for postoperative handover and rounds records."

"All original records are sealed on time, and I accept random checks by third parties."

Liu Xiaohe took the job responsibility statement and signed it after the person in charge of station number one.

"I am responsible for the preoperative procedures, instrument verification, and secondary review for the first operating table."

Gao Yuan also signed his name.

"I have kept a copy of the equipment model, the reasons for selection, and the alternative plan for station number two. If the model is changed at any time, a new signature is required."

The four liability agreements were placed together.

Several officials from the Provincial Health Department exchanged a few words in hushed tones.

Before they entered the hospital, their biggest concern was that the North City General Hospital would use its international influence and existing achievements to obstruct the investigation.

Nobody talks about credit now.

From Ye Zhen to several young doctors, everyone wrote down their responsibilities, mistakes made, and conditions for suspension in their reports.

Vice Minister Li still has not signed.

He turned to his secretary.

"Bring me the letter of complaint."

The secretary opened the brown paper bag and placed two copies of the signed complaint letters on the table.

One copy was transferred by the Municipal Health Bureau, and the other was registered by the Provincial Health Department; their contents were identical.

Zhou Hai's face darkened, and just as he was about to reach out, Vice Minister Li stopped him by pressing down on the materials.

"During the investigation, the whistleblower materials were kept by the investigation team."

He then picked up the complication report submitted by the Beicheng Military Region General Hospital.

The whistleblower letter accused the main hospital of internal mishandling of the situation after the child's incident and concealing serious complications.

"However, the complete report had already been sent to the Ministry of Health before the health department accepted the complaint."

"The report retains all the details regarding acute femoral artery thrombosis, emergency thrombectomy, excessive compression, and deficiencies in the patrol system."

He drew a line next to the corresponding paragraph in the whistleblower letter.

"The allegations that the hospital concealed the complications are unfounded."

Zhou Hai spoke, suppressing his anger.

"He was holding the hospital's internal debriefing report."

"I clearly saw the complete processing result, but only the first half was cut out."

Vice Minister Li closed the complaint materials.

"Whistleblowing is an employee's right."

Whether the whistleblower intentionally omitted facts will be investigated separately.

"The current investigation focuses on whether there are medical risks associated with performing two surgeries simultaneously. We cannot ignore the other issues simply because one charge is unfounded."

He reopened the proposal submitted by Ye Zhen.

"Seven-day observation pilot program."

"This is not a restoration of the original dual-platform plan, but a new process with limited capacity, time limits, and full supervision."

"The Medical Administration Department, the Provincial Health Department, and the Beicheng General Hospital will each send one person to observe the catheterization lab and recovery area."

"A maximum of twelve units per day."

"No two catheterization labs may simultaneously accommodate level 4 high-risk patients."

"Statistics on deaths, irreversible injuries, time of abnormal discovery, and rescue results within seven days."

"If even one original record is missing, the pilot program will be stopped immediately."

Vice Minister Li handed the document to Ye Zhen.

"Any objections?"

"no."

"There's one more."

Vice Minister Li took a pen and added the finishing touches at the end of the plan.

"You must not operate continuously for more than twelve hours a day."

"Your husband has already told us. When you went on stage repeatedly, no one in the hospital could stop you."

Zhou Hai couldn't help but cough.

Ye Zhen paused for two seconds.

"Emergency surgery cannot be subject to this restriction."

"Emergency departments can activate special procedures."

"But between two emergency cases, you must leave the operating station to rest, as long as the patient's condition allows."

Vice Minister Li signed his name.

"Seven days later, we will use the data to decide whether the dual-platform mode can be retained."

"Can."

The conference room door opened.

The corridor was crowded with families of sick children. Some were carrying bedding rolls, others were holding medical records, and no one dared to leave.

The mother, who had come from Gansu, stood up while holding her daughter.

The child leaned on her shoulder, his lips still turning purple.

"Dr. Ye, is it still possible to do it?"

"It will resume tomorrow morning."

The woman's shoulders relaxed immediately, and she quickly supported the child who was sliding down.

Ye Zhen walked to the whiteboard for scheduling and picked up a red pen.

The original number sixteen was crossed out.

She rewrote twelve next to it.

"The nurse is reassessing the risk level for tonight."

"For patients with a history of pulmonary hypertension, increase the frequency of rounds."

No one from the family members pushed forward anymore.

Behind the connecting corridor on the second floor, Zhao Tiancheng stood by the railing, noting down the number of people coming out of the conference room one by one.

Ye Zhen was not suspended from her duties, and both catheterization labs will be reopened.

Zhao Tiancheng's palm pressed against the railing, his palm covered with a layer of old paint.

"She's definitely being protected by those above."

He put away his notebook, turned around, and went downstairs.

If any more children have problems, video recorders, investigators, and other personnel will be present.

This time, no one can cover for Ye Zhen.
