The intern's lawyer wife

Chapter 19 Medical Malpractice

"It's Chen Bo's wife who wants to sue you!" Zhang Ke said. "A few days ago, you performed emergency surgery to create an airway for him. Although you saved him, his wife knows you're not a doctor and claims you're practicing medicine without a license. She's going to sue you and make you pay compensation!"

"oh."

"Oh, that's it? I'm telling you, this is no small matter."

What kind of storms didn't I see in the hospital in my past life?

Panic?

There's no need to panic.

"Where is he?"

"They were making a scene outside the ward, shouting that they were looking for you."

"I'll handle it right away."

Jian Yifan hung up the phone and headed to the hospital headquarters.

……

Outside the inpatient department.

Vice President Gao Weigang got out of the Audi A6, and Yuan Bin, the director of the rehabilitation department, rushed up behind him.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a panic?"

"The trial for Zhao Ping is scheduled for the day after tomorrow."

The Zhao Ping case?

Gao Wei recalled the lumbar spine surgery that resulted in incomplete paralysis of the lower limbs after the operation.

Correct!

This is indeed a medical malpractice case.

It falls under the jurisdiction of Vice President Gao Wei and has been delayed for more than half a year.

If you don't do it, you won't make mistakes.

If you don't treat it, there won't be any stains.

The hospital can afford it.

The patient cannot afford to wait.

The trial is scheduled for the day after tomorrow. Dean Gao said, "First, control the public opinion and prevent it from getting out and damaging the reputation of Shuxi. Also, the division of responsibilities must be clear. We can't let Shuxi be blamed for everything. Then, find a few people to sincerely apologize to the patient's family and get them to agree to a private conversation. Do you understand?"

Yuan Bin: "We can't chat privately. The other party has hired a law firm and said they must seek justice."

Gao Wei: "There's nothing that can't be discussed privately; it's just a lack of sincerity!"

Yuan Bin: "They said they wouldn't chat privately unless my husband stood up."

"Then sue!"

Gao Wei strode into the inpatient department, which was decorated with a sign that read "Patients First".

Some people have already forgotten this saying, like Gao Wei.

Some people always keep this saying in mind: simplicity is also complexity.

Even if he had to do it ten thousand times over, he would still choose to save Chen Bo; it is a doctor's mission.

Third floor, respiratory department.

The nurses' station was surrounded by nurses in white coats, as well as patients and their families who were just watching.

"Calm down. The situation was urgent. Dr. Jane was doing it for your husband's life."

Jiang Yining and the others are trying to calm Chen Bo's wife, Wang Yan.

Wang Yan reacted like a shrew: "I can't calm down. What Dr. Jian? He's not a doctor at all. Get that guy surnamed Jian out here."

At this moment, Jian Yifan squeezed through the crowd, looked at the shrew in front of him, and calmly asked, "What do you want?"

"You're the one surnamed Jian?" Wang Yan's eyes were ferocious. "What right do you, an intern, have to operate on my husband? And with a ballpoint pen no less! Whole-surgery is so dangerous! If my husband dies, can you take responsibility?"

"Isn't your husband lying peacefully in the hospital room?"

"I understand that interns don't have the right to perform surgery. You've violated the rules, and I'm going to sue you!"

Jian Yifan lowered his hands, holding the thermos cup like an old cadre, and looked at the aggressive Wang Yan.

Jiang Yining whispered, "Yifan, Chen Bo is recovering in the ward. He can't speak, but he means he won't pursue the matter. He's very grateful to you for saving his life, and he'll divorce his wife once he recovers."

Zhang Ke whispered, "This woman isn't here because she's worried about her husband; she's here for money. She knows he wants a divorce, but they haven't done it yet. And since you're an intern, she's now fixated on you to extort money from you, or she'll report you to the hospital and disqualify you from practicing medicine."

Jiang Yining: "Yifan, what should we do?"

"Don't worry, at worst you can go to the proctology department."

"You're here again."

Shen Yiren was annoyed.

Just then, Gao Wei was on his way to the top-floor office when the door on the third floor opened. Seeing a group of people arguing, he strode out and shouted, "What's all the noise about? This is a hospital!"

Upon hearing this, all the medical staff made way for them.

Gao Wei walked up to them: "What's going on? Why are you making noise here?"

Dr. Wang, the head of the respiratory department, quickly explained the situation.

Gao Wei: "Xiao Jian, this is directed at you personally. If you don't handle this properly, the patient's family will ask our hospital to deal with you."

Isn't this kid supposed to be very arrogant?

So that's it?

Everyone was worried for Jian Yifan.

Who would have thought that saving someone's life would lead to encountering such a family member and being bitten in return?

Especially for the interns who had just entered the hospital, encountering such a situation made them unsure whether to help in future emergency situations.

Jian Yifan looked at Wang Yan: "Speak freely about your needs."

Wang Yan: "Give me 20 yuan to settle this privately, and I will let bygones be bygones."

Jian Yifan: "I have no money."

"No money?"

"Yes, no money, not a single penny."

"What kind of attitude is this!" Wang Yan immediately became anxious and looked at Gao Wei. "You're the dean, right? I'm going to file a complaint against him too. You must handle this seriously."

"Complain about me?" Jian Yifan took a sip of tea, somewhat amused. "Complaining will only result in a deduction from my salary. I don't even get a salary, so what's the point of you complaining about me?"

Everyone was stunned: ? ? ?

That seems to be the case.

Wang Yan looked at Gao Wei, who nodded: "That's true."

Jian Yifan: "So... I have no regrets about breaking the rules to save your husband!"

Seeing Jian Yifan's arrogant attitude, Wang Yan trembled with anger. "Arrogant, huh? Complaints won't do you any good. I'll complain to the relevant authorities and have your medical license revoked!"

"Here, this is the Health Commission's phone number." Jian Yifan handed over the piece of paper. "I'm not even a doctor. If you call, they won't know who you're complaining about, let alone have a medical license. I only have a student ID and a national ID card."

Everyone was stunned again: ? ? ?

That seems to be the case.

Wang Yan looked at Gao Wei, who nodded: "That's true."

He's an intern, not a doctor, doesn't have an employee number, and there's no record of him in the system!

Everyone looked at him with such composure.

Wang Yan looked at Gao Wei: "Dean Gao, you have to deal with this guy surnamed Jian. I paid to come to the hospital, am I supposed to put up with this?"

Jian Yifan laughed again: "Everyone pays money to come here. You pay for medical treatment, and I pay to work. We are both Dean Gao's clients."

Everyone was stunned again: ? ? ?

That seems to be the case.

The interns really empathized!

Yes, we pay to work here, we are customers too!

What are we afraid of?

Dean Gao: ? ? ?

Damn, what this kid is saying seems to make sense.

He resolved these unexpected situations with just a few words.

Wang Yan was even angrier: "Is there no one who can cure this?"

Jian Yifan: "I'm a counterfeit product, so who can control me?"

"You, you, you... Ah!!!!"

Wang Yan was so angry she went crazy.

Jian Yifan: "Is there anything else? If not, please leave and don't interfere with my paid work."

"snort!"

Seeing that she couldn't win the argument and couldn't find any loopholes, Wang Yan left in anger.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

I really admire this intern. Damn, with him around, any doctor-patient dispute can be resolved.

Absolutely amazing! Absolutely amazing.

Jiang Yining looked at her classmate.

Suddenly I realize... he's so strong!

Jian Yifan's expression immediately turned serious as she looked around at the medical staff.

"It is our mission as doctors to treat and save lives. We cannot hesitate when faced with a patient's need because of isolated incidents. Hesitation could cost a life."

"What I want to say is... as medical staff at Shuxi Hospital, when you encounter a situation, don't hesitate. Do what you can to help within your capabilities. If there are any problems, Shuxi will support you. This is what Dean Gao told me yesterday."

Vice Dean Gao: ? ? ?

No, this kid just talked too much again.

Where did I say that?

"Yes, Dean Gao!" all the medical staff replied in unison.

Gao Wei cursed inwardly, but he had to admit that as the hospital director and the doctor's support, he should encourage the medical staff and let them know that Shuxi Hospital was backing them up.

Otherwise, it would be a tragedy for society if doctors refused to treat patients in distress.

"Everyone, remember to only attempt rescues within your capabilities. As for..." He glanced at Jian Yifan, "those advanced surgical techniques involving shoving a ballpoint pen into a throat—don't try to imitate them, lest you end up as a defendant!"

"yes!"

"That's enough, Xiao Jian, come here."

Gao Wei called Jian Yifan aside, opened his thermos and drank some Longjing tea: "Little Jian, you're quite good at handling medical disputes."

"Dean Gao, you flatter me." Jian Yifan also drank her green tea.

The two of them exuded a strong sense of formality and decorum.

"It's like this, there's a case involving a hospital..." Gao Wei recounted Zhao Ping's case. "Go handle it, talk to the other party privately, and try to avoid going to court if possible, understand what I mean?"

The Zhao Ping case?

Jian Yifan overheard the doctor mentioning this in casual conversation.

It does seem to be a medical malpractice case.

The other person is the sole breadwinner in the family; if they become paralyzed, the family will collapse.

Jian Yifan really wanted to see what caused the medical accident.

It would be best if they could be saved.

Reborn, Jian Yifan only wants to save one more person!

As for the current state of the hospital, Jian Yifan saw many problems: chaotic management and a constant stream of medical disputes, both large and small.

Secretary Jian is really worried sick.

"Okay, but I have a request: I want to use the hospital's laboratory."

"That's for researching new drug development; it's the most advanced equipment in the country. What do you want to do with it?"

"I have research in medicine, so I'd like to try it out."

"Let's settle this privately first, then we can talk about it later. After all, going to court isn't good for anyone."

"Okay, where is it? I'll be right there."

"Go find Yuan Bin, the head of the rehabilitation department, and have him take you. Oh, and be careful, the other party has hired Shen Yiren from one of their law firms!"

what?

Jian Yifan was taken aback.

My wife?
