The intern's lawyer wife

"Xiao Zhang, your attitude is not right. You should learn more from Xiao Jian. You've only been interning in gynecology for a few days and you already don't believe in love. If you went to the forensic department, wouldn't you start to question the meaning of life? I'm going to a meeting now, you guys can go home."

Chu Xuliang left.

Zhang Ke asked curiously, "Is the forensic department even more shocking than gynecology?"

Jian Yifan smiled and said, "There are just too many juicy stories to tell; we could talk about them for three days and three nights straight."

……

meeting room.

Gao Wei is chairing an internal meeting: "The key issue is the key to the problem..."

Chu Xuliang returned and sat down, then quietly asked Zhao Rui from the emergency department, "What's the key issue?"

Zhao Rui: "The crux of the problem."

Chu Xuliang: ...

Gao Wei looked at Chu Xuliang: "Director Chu, what happened just now that you needed to deal with it so urgently? Did another patient cause trouble at the hospital?"

Gao Wei claimed there were no medical disputes, only unreasonable disturbances caused by patients.

Chu Xuliang recounted the whole story.

The department heads present were all shocked.

"Her rectum was ruptured; she was cheating on her fiancé with a black man..."

"Her fiancé treats her like a princess, but she's willing to act like a mother to a black man... This is beyond my comprehension."

"It was that intern, Jian Yifan, who deduced the cause of the illness. That young man is amazing."

Emergency room doctor Zhao Rui said, "When people pass by my emergency room this morning, they can tell which doctor performed the surgery from the suture scars, and thus deduce what kind of illness it is. Now they can deduce the cause of the illness from the perfume they wear, their walking posture, and changes in their pelvis."

"Can suture scars tell who performed the surgery?" the doctors asked in surprise.

"He said that every surgeon has their own surgical method and suturing habits. He observed very carefully. I just didn't expect that a doctor would use criminal investigation methods to deduce the cause of the disease."

The head of the forensic department said, "He's a talented person. Why don't we transfer him to our forensic department and use his expertise to find clues about the body?"

"Those are our cardiac surgery students!" He Li said firmly. "I'll never forgive anyone who tries to take them!"

He Li's back was stiff as a board.

They finally managed to find a genius from a sect, and they wouldn't let him go no matter what.

Chu Xuliang remarked with emotion: "She previously used a ballpoint pen to establish a breathing channel, and now she has repeatedly used reasoning to diagnose the cause of the illness, saving patients a lot of examination fees. Xiao Jian is a rare and excellent doctor."

"Yes, he has a solid foundation. If everyone could deduce the cause of the disease like him, then only one test would be needed to confirm whether it is the disease, which would truly benefit all patients."

The doctors were discussing it.

Gao Wei put down his teacup, suppressing his anger, and said, "Would you like to see what the topic of today's meeting is?"

The large screen behind him read: "[Conference on Improving the Performance of Shuxi Hospital]"

They all immediately shut up.

"Whether our doctors have Xiao Jian's abilities is one thing, but Xiao Jian's way of practicing medicine is highly undesirable! If everyone were like Xiao Jian, diagnosing patients solely through reasoning without using medical equipment, how would our hospital make a profit?"

Gao Wei tapped the table.

"The hospital's equipment is all for the patients' health. No necessary tests can be omitted. From today onwards, every patient who comes for treatment will undergo all required tests, understand?"

"We know," everyone responded.

Gao Wei continued, "As you all know, there's been a medical reform now. Government investment in hospitals has decreased, and all hospitals are now responsible for their own profits and losses. So, your income as doctors is determined by your workload. The more patients you see, the more tests and surgeries you perform, the more bonuses and commissions you'll receive, and the hospital can also improve its performance!"

Gao Wei looked at the head of the obstetrics and gynecology department.

"Director Wang, your obstetrics and gynecology department's indicators haven't been looking too good lately. For the safety of the mother and the baby, from now on, if the estimated fetal weight is below the lower limit of the normal range during prenatal checkups, we'll say the fetus is small and recommend hospitalization for observation. Also, our hospital has just introduced more than 30 incubators. If the newborn's weight is slightly below average after birth, they should be placed in an incubator. Anyway, it's all for the baby's good, and the mother will agree, understand?"

"Understood." The head of the obstetrics and gynecology department nodded.

Gao Wei looked at the head of orthopedics and smiled with satisfaction: "Director Niu has done a great job. He's performed more than ten lumbar disc herniation surgeries this month. He deserves praise!"

"Thank you, Dean Gao." As Director Niu stood up, a sharp pain shot through his back.

Gao Wei quickly said, "Sit down. Your herniated disc is so severe, you need to take care of yourself."

"Thank you for your concern, Dean. I understand."

Director Niu slowly sat down.

Although he had a severe herniated disc, he refused to have surgery because he felt it was unnecessary. However, other patients with less severe herniated discs who came to see him were advised to have surgery, with the doctors claiming that the condition could easily become malignant. The patients were so frightened that they immediately signed the consent form for surgery.

Yes! Over-medicalization!

It was really common back then.

One of the department heads said, "Dean Gao, what if a patient sues us and then hires Attorney Shen again?"

Gao Wei stood firm: "What we did was completely legal and compliant. Patients can be treated with medication or surgery. We were acting out of concern for the patient's safety. Even if you consult Attorney Shen, she'll have no choice but to accept it!"

That's true; there's really nothing a lawyer can do about medical malpractice cases like this.

Gao Wei looked at Chu Xuliang and said, "Director Chu, what about you? I've heard you've prescribed medication for several patients with uterine fibroids?"

"It's not serious, it can be cured with medication."

"I still recommend surgery in the future, you understand?"

"Dean Gao, I have my own medical ethics. Unless absolutely necessary, I will not recommend surgery, as it would place a huge financial burden on the patient."

Gao Wei slammed his fist on the table and roared, "What do you mean? You're saying I lack medical ethics? Have you forgotten that we're using a departmental contracting system now!"

Departmental contracting was very popular back then, but patients were unaware of it. Simply put, a department was "treated as a small, self-financing company." The department's income was directly linked to the doctor's income. The hospital only provided a minimum guarantee, and the rest depended on generating revenue. The way to generate revenue was often to order as many tests and prescriptions as possible, and to perform surgeries.

Chu Xuliang could only accept the departmental contracting regulations set by the higher authorities, but he never actually implemented them, which resulted in him being very poor, earning only a base salary of a little over 2 yuan. Compared to other department directors who earned tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan a month, it was as if he had lost his mind, not making money when he could.

"Meeting adjourned!"

Gao Wei didn't want to waste his breath on such a pedantic person, so he left in anger.

The hospital is not a charity. Gao Wei is the vice president, and he only cares about performance; he's a businessman.

Although Chu Xuliang was poor, he had his own principles.

I just feel that the current medical environment is too bad, and I don't know when it will change. Change requires someone to appear and start a revolution.

Returning to the original purpose of a hospital—to save lives and heal the wounded!

……

in the afternoon.

Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Jian Yifan and the others continued their internship with Chu Xuliang.

"Doctor, how is my uterine fibroid? Do I need surgery?"

"Move!" Zhang Ke answered without hesitation.

Chu Xuliang glared at him and said, "Madam, your condition isn't serious right now. Medication can control it. I'll prescribe some medicine for you."

"Thank you, doctor. I went to many hospitals and they all said I needed surgery."

The patient expressed his gratitude repeatedly.

"You're welcome, go get your medicine."

The patient left.

Zhang Ke asked curiously, "Professor Chu, isn't she going to have surgery? When I looked at other patient cases at the hospital, many patients with the same condition as her had surgery and were hospitalized."

Chu Xuliang said indignantly, "I don't care how other directors treat patients, but here, I won't operate unless it's absolutely necessary."

"What do you mean?" Zhang Ke didn't understand.

Jian Yifan patted his shoulder: "You should just listen to Professor Chu."

Chu Xuliang looked at the four of them: "You must remember, no matter what department you work in in the future, your primary goal must be saving lives. Doctors are here to save lives, not to make money, understand?"

"Know."

Jian Yifan readily agreed.

Chu Xuliang: "Let's begin the exam."

The exam was very simple, consisting of some basic clinical knowledge of gynecology, and all four of them passed.

That evening, the four of them celebrated with hot pot.

"Cheers! Let's drink until we're drunk!" Jian Yifan raised his glass and said.

Zhang Ke: "Yi Fan, are you having such a good time today? Why don't you drink until you're completely drunk? Have your parents left?"

"I'm gone. I'm single again." Jian Yifan felt completely at ease.

Being single is great.

……

the other side.

The Porsche was parked at the entrance of the bustling night market.

"Boss, I want this, this, and this."

After Shen Yiren frantically ordered food at the roadside barbecue stall, she ran across the street to order more at the teppanyaki stall, while Wang Qiaoqiao helped her get her food.

The two women ate and strolled around.

"Sister Shen, your aunt and uncle have left, and you've started indulging yourself again."

"I've been starving for so long. I'm never full even when I eat at home every day. Last night, Jian Yifan bought braised pork intestines, but he didn't let me eat with him. I had to sneak some while he was asleep in the middle of the night. Humph."

After get off work, Shen Yiren changed into casual clothes, jeans and a white shirt, and went straight to the night market for a revenge-style gluttonous feast.

Wang Qiaoqiao looked her up and down, admiring her great figure encased in jeans: "Sister Shen, how come you never gain weight?"

"Born that way."

"Sister Shen, you don't need to pretend."

"Where did I pretend?"

"You act like a lady at home, but you're completely yourself outside. The contrast is too great; your husband still thinks you're such a lady."

"None of your business."

Shen Yiren saw some hand-woven decorative flowers ahead and walked to the stall to choose some.

Stall owner: "Madam, these roses suit your temperament perfectly. Your husband will definitely love them if you put them in your home as decorations."

"Wife?" Shen Yiren was taken aback. "Husband? How did you know I was married?"

Stall owner: "I can tell you're married just by looking at you. Why don't you buy a bouquet?"

this!!!

As Shen Yiren ate her squid, she looked down at her figure and asked Wang Qiaoqiao, "Can you tell I'm married just from my demeanor? Do I have that 'wifely' aura?"

Wang Qiaoqiao nodded: "You have a very strong sense of being a wife!"

"I've lost my girlish charm."

"You're a married woman now, what girlish charm do you have? You used to have it, but it all disappeared after you got married."

Shen Yiren was very flustered.

Wang Qiaoqiao: "Sister Shen, you have such a strong sense of being a married woman, why doesn't your husband have that?"

"He has no sense of being a married man at all. Everyone who sees him thinks he's unmarried, humph!"

Shen Yiren was very dissatisfied.

That jerk of a husband! He really made me feel like a wife, and then he just walked away unscathed.

She had only slept with her husband for a few nights and hadn't done anything, yet she already felt so much like a wife. If she had done something, wouldn't she have completely become a wife?

Shen Yiren is a truly independent woman; she only cares about her career and doesn't want to feel like a wife.

So I quit having a husband first.

……

That night.

Shen Yiren returned to her apartment; it was so nice to be alone.

Unrestrained, do whatever you want.

"Finally, I can sleep comfortably all by myself."

Shen Yiren was sleeping soundly in bed.

Time ticked by, but she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

"You only slept with me for two nights, why can't you adjust to sleeping alone?"

Some things can never be regained.

She longed for the feeling of being held in her husband's arms while she slept.

I checked the time; it was 11:30 p.m. I figured Jian Yifan must have fallen asleep long ago, since he really wanted to go solo.

the other side.

Doctors' apartments.

Jian Yifan's character "太" lies on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

Insomnia...

How did I end up sleeping with my wife in my arms?

I used to fall asleep with all sorts of medical records in my arms!

My faith has been corrupted by my wife.

I need to control myself.

Jian Yifan picked up her phone, logged into QQ, refreshed her QQ space, and saw that Shen Yiren had updated her space one minute ago.

In 08, WeChat didn't exist yet; QQ still dominated the market.

[Work!] + Attached is a photo of my desk late at night.

Jian Yifan sent a private message: 【It's almost midnight, and you're still working... Attorney Shen, your dedication remains unchanged, well done!】

Shen Yiren felt conflicted upon seeing this message.

Your initial intention remains unchanged; you got married because of your work, and your husband is very happy that you love your job so much now.

Shen Yiren loves her job, but there's no need for her to work overtime late at night. She simply has insomnia and can't fall asleep because her husband doesn't hold her while she sleeps.

Shen Yiren: [Dr. Jian, what are you thinking about so late at night?]

Jian Yifan: [Looking at case studies, learning]

Shen Yiren: [Oh]

If a woman says "oh," it's a dismissive response, a sign that she doesn't want to talk to me.

Shen Yiren was no exception. Because husband, you really only love work. If you reply with "I'm thinking of you", then tonight I'll either go to your house or come to my house and we'll sleep together in each other's arms.

However, Jian Yifan remained silent because the two had agreed upon marriage that their relationship would only be for work.

Whoever speaks first loses!

Shen Yiren remained silent.

They are all workaholics, career-driven individuals, and strong-willed, so they won't back down; in other words, they're all silent.

Jian Yifan: [Just letting you know, I'm no longer sharing an apartment with Zhang Ke. He can live alone now. I live in the doctors' apartment building across from the hospital, room 608.]

Shen Yiren: [Why are you telling me this?]

Jian Yifan glanced at the double bed, the double pillows, and the camisole nightgown in the closet.

Reply: 【You are, after all, my wife. I didn't mean anything by it; I just wanted to tell you.】

Shen Yiren: [Hmm]

Jian Yifan: [It's too late, go to sleep, take care of yourself.]

Shen Yiren: [You can sleep if you want, I can't sleep, I'm working!]

Jian Yifan: [You're busy, I'm going to sleep now, bye]

"Damn it, he's asleep!"

Shen Yiren gritted her teeth and looked at the address—Doctor's Apartment Building 1, Room 806.

or?

Forget it, why would I be so foolish as to offer myself up?

That's my husband. What's wrong with me taking the initiative?

No no no.

He'll come if he wants to!

I'm not going to take the initiative anyway.

Shen Yiren went back to bed and lay down to wait...

After half an hour.

Shen Yiren: "Very well, you're ruthless! You only love your work!"

the other side.

Jian Yifan got out of bed and locked the door: "Wife, you're ruthless! All you care about is work!"
