The intern's lawyer wife

Jian Yifan drove Yuan Bin's Mazda to Zhao Ping's house in Dujiangyan.

Yuan Bin said, "We must get Zhao Ping to drop the case and settle it privately, no matter what. If it goes to court, Xiao Jian, you don't know Attorney Shen. She has never lost a medical case in court. This case concerns the image of Shuxi, so we can't go to court, understand?"

"Know."

Jian Yifan simply couldn't believe that a head of a rehabilitation department would be so concerned about the hospital's well-being.

Although the case went to court and the medical malpractice would have a negative social impact, Yuan Bin had his own selfish motives. As the director of the rehabilitation department, he believed that the root cause of the medical malpractice was a problem within the postoperative rehabilitation department.

He is largely to blame.

If Attorney Shen wins this case, Yuan Bin will likely be dismissed.

How could he not panic?

Jian Yifan thought it best to settle the matter privately if possible, because going to court would be a Pyrrhic victory for Zhao Ping.

The entire process of court hearings, judgments, and appeals takes at least another six months.

I have to pay for my own legal fees and appraisal fees. Even if the hospital is ultimately ordered to pay compensation, a large portion of the compensation will have to be spent on these costs.

A very poignant statement: Ordinary people can't afford to go to court.

You don't have the time or energy to waste.

Therefore, considering Zhao Ping's situation, Jian Yifan wanted to settle the matter privately, and of course, he would try to get Zhao Ping the compensation he deserved.

The problem is that the hospital dragged its feet for six months without doing anything, leaving Zhao Ping with no choice but to resort to legal means, seeking out Shen Yiren and suing the hospital.

Jian Yifan truly feels that ordinary people have it tough.

"Only when you put the people in your heart will they hold you high." — This is a phrase that Jian Yifan often used to remind himself of when he touched the Party emblem on his chest in his previous life.

It's the weekend, and there's a lot of traffic heading to Dujiangyan. My Mazda got stuck in traffic.

Yuan Bin took out a cigarette and handed it to him.

"Thank you, I don't smoke." Jian Yifan opened the window, holding the steering wheel with one hand and gently tapping on the window with the other.

Just then, a Porsche drove up in the next lane. The window was down, and two beautiful women were sitting inside.

"Hey, Attorney Shen, what a coincidence! Where are you going?" Jian Yifan asked with a smile as he leaned out of the car window.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Bin coughed violently from the smoke. He peeked out and saw that it was indeed Attorney Shen.

Shen Yiren was looking at documents in the passenger seat when she heard a sound. She turned her head and saw her husband, Jian Yifan, in the driver's seat of the adjacent lane, with Yuan Bin in the passenger seat.

She paused, a bad feeling creeping over her: "Aren't you interning at the hospital? Where are you going with Director Yuan?"

"Wherever you go, I'll go."

"How can I let you go?"

"Maybe the dean thinks I'm good with words," Jian Yifan said playfully.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yiren squeezed her two black-stockinged thighs together and chuckled.

"So...you want to do this privately?"

"You want to be a public figure?"

"There's no other way; the client's demands must be made public!"

"I had no choice; the hospital advised me to settle this privately."

Beside her, Wang Qiaoqiao whispered, "It's Sister Shen. The hospital actually sent Dr. Jian to handle this medical malpractice case. What should we do?"

Shen Yiren: "We're handling this like a business transaction; there's no question of husband and wife here!"

Wang Qiaoqiao was shocked: !!!

Is this what a newlywed couple's honeymoon should be like?

Jian Yifan and Shen Yiren's eyes met.

Each serves their own master!

For the public good, the goal is the same—to resolve this medical malpractice!

For my own sake, now that my wife and I have finally met on the same case...

Losing is not just a simple loss; it also means losing your status within the family.

From now on, I'll be responsible for all the housework, including washing clothes, cooking, and mopping the floor!

Nobody wants to lose!

Then let's not talk about marital affection!

Bring it on, let's fight!

Kill him so badly he won't even recognize his own family!

As soon as Shen Yiren raised her hand, Wang Qiaoqiao tactfully climbed from the driver's seat to the back seat, while Shen Yiren sat down in the driver's seat.

Jian Yifan was confused: "Hey, what are you doing in the driver's seat?"

Shen Yiren smiled: "Whether you want to have a private affair or not depends on your ability."

As she spoke, she floored the accelerator, and the Porsche emitted a "hum" sound, a roar of power ready to go.

My wife is about to take off!

We need to find Zhao Ping first.

Jian Yifan kept honking his horn, but his lane was very congested.

Shen Yiren tied her hair up with both hands, gripped the steering wheel, and glanced at the opposite lane: "You drive a Mazda, no wonder you're stuck in traffic!"

She released the handbrake and her jade-like high heels landed on the hard accelerator pedal.

hum-

The Porsche sped off!

"Hey, feed me... I..." Jian Yifan wanted to say, "At least I'm still your husband, how can you say that?"

I slapped the steering wheel and watched helplessly as the Porsche disappeared down the road ahead.

Yuan Bin said anxiously, "It's over, it's over. If she arrives first and convinces Zhao Ping to take us to court, we're doomed to lose."

"Director Yuan, tell me every detail of this case, don't hold anything back!"

Jian Yifan is serious!

……

The Porsche was parked in a dilapidated rural house with tiled roof.

Shen Yiren got out of the car and made a phone call: "Dr. Jian, you're so slow~"

Jian Yifan: "You like things fast?"

"Dr. Jane, I can sue you for sexual harassment, you know that?"

"Judges will not accept cases of husbands sexually harassing their wives."

"bye."

Shen Yiren is serious!

……

Zhao Ping's house.

The room was still dimly lit even with the incandescent lights on. All the valuables had been sold, and various CT scans and medical records from different hospitals were scattered everywhere.

Zhao Ping sat in a wheelchair, with his wife Li Fengmei sitting beside him. Because the hospital kept delaying, how could an ordinary rural woman like her fight against the hospital? In just six months, at the age of thirty, she had already developed gray hair.

"At first, the hospital said we were trying to extort them and threatened to sue us. Later, after examination by experts and professors, they diagnosed my husband's paralysis as a sequela of the surgery, but they said it was not their responsibility, but ours."

Why?

"After the surgery, my husband was transferred to the rehabilitation department. On the third day, the rehabilitation doctor said that my husband was recovering well and could be discharged. He also advised him to strengthen his back muscles and avoid sitting or standing for long periods of time to prevent recurrence. Then the doctor left."

"Is there a problem with that?"

"That's the problem. My husband followed the doctor's orders closely, exercising for half an hour every day, then lying down for an hour, and then exercising again, hoping to recover soon. But he became paralyzed after only a few days. When we went to the hospital for a follow-up examination, we learned that the internal fixation had loosened, the vertebral body was unstable, and a second revision surgery was needed. Moreover, due to long-term nerve compression, both lower limbs had become incompletely paralyzed."

"Was the surgery unsuccessful?"

"No, the doctor said the surgery was successful, but that we didn't follow the rehabilitation specialist's instructions, and that the patient's exercise during the rehabilitation period was the cause."

"How should we understand this statement?"

"The hospital said to strengthen the back muscles and not to sit or stand for long periods of time, not to have my husband exercise. They said we didn't follow their instructions, so we can't blame the hospital."

Li Fengmei burst into tears: "But when we ordinary people hear that, we all tell the patient to exercise. He said no, he only said to do back muscle strengthening exercises. What is that? We don't even understand it!"

"Was there no explanation regarding lower back muscle strengthening exercises?"

"No, he just gave me a brief instruction and left in a hurry."

Wang Qiaoqiao whispered, "When I took care of my mom in the hospital before, it was the same. She used medical jargon that I couldn't understand, and when I asked the doctor, he got impatient. We had to figure it out ourselves."

Shen Yiren: "It's because the doctor didn't explain clearly that you shouldn't sit or stand for long periods of time and that you need to do back muscle strengthening exercises. The patient didn't understand and developed a misunderstanding, which ultimately led to your husband's condition."

"Attorney Shen, you must help us!"

Li Fengmei knelt down with a thud.

How helpless this must be.

Shen Yiren quickly helped her up.

"I only speak with facts. You've confirmed that you haven't hidden anything from me, and this is crucial to winning or losing the case!"

"No, everything I said is true."

Shen Yiren frowned.

This case is very tricky!

The use of technical terminology in postoperative instructions led to a misunderstanding between the patient and the doctor.

"I need to tell you all this in advance: the responsibility for this case is fifty-fifty, understand?"

Li Fengmei nodded with tears in her eyes.

She already knew that even if the doctor used technical terms, in court he did explain the things to pay attention to during recovery, and she was partly responsible for not understanding the technical terms.

"However, the hospital doesn't want to admit even half of the responsibility, saying that we were the ones who caused it."

"They say no," Shen Yiren said firmly. "The law decides. All I can do for you is try to get more compensation."

"I don't want money, I want my husband to stand up, waaaaah~"

Li Fengmei burst into tears.

Zhao Ping is the pillar of the family.

If it collapses, this family is truly finished.

Shen Yiren looked at Zhao Ping in the wheelchair.

"Is it possible to recover?"

Zhao Ping shook his head: "I've been to many hospitals, and with the current level of medical care, the outlook isn't very optimistic, unless it's a miracle doctor."

……

ah-

Just as Mazda arrived outside Zhao Ping's house, Jian Yifan sneezed.

Who's talking about me behind my back?
