Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander-Chapter 1300 - 855: Taking Advantage of the Opportunity

Second watch arrived.

---------------

Looking at Old Master Qi with a face full of frustration, Chuxia felt genuinely defeated by him. At a time like this, he still didn’t forget to remind others that helping was for nothing. Probably only this stubborn old man could do such a thing. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Who’s being unreasonable? Tell me, who’s being unreasonable?" The middle-aged woman pointed directly at Old Master Qi, her lips trembling, "When my brother was brought in yesterday, you treated him. You said everything was fine, and he could be discharged in two or three days.

But today when we came, you suddenly changed your tune, saying my brother’s condition is very dangerous. Even if he recovers, he can’t be like a normal person. If there wasn’t a problem with your treatment, would his condition suddenly worsen?

Do you think we don’t understand just because we aren’t doctors? Let me tell you, I’ve investigated this already. You were in prison before, because you treated people using feudal superstitions.

The organization took pity on you, gave you this job to support your family, and this is how you repay them? Let me tell you, you’re committing a crime of murder, and we will certainly report you!"

"Oh my poor son..." The elderly woman, hearing the middle-aged woman speak, suddenly sat on the ground and burst into tears. The elderly man quickly squatted down to help her, while the middle-aged man glared angrily at Wang Zhongliang. "You understand now, right? We’re not just causing trouble for no reason. When my brother-in-law arrived, he was fine, and now he’s half-dead. We, as family, can’t just stand by and do nothing, can we?"

By now, some doctors and nurses on duty had gathered around to try and mediate, but the family of four was completely unresponsive to their words, eventually all sitting on the ground without getting up.

Chuxia had already learned the ins and outs of the situation from Elder Qi. The person brought in was the son of the elderly couple. After divorcing his wife, he drank pesticide in distress. Luckily, he was found early, and after his stomach was pumped, there wasn’t much of a problem.

To ensure the treatment was effective, Elder Qi gave him a boosting injection and prescribed Chinese medicine for his family to prepare at home. But this afternoon, the patient got hungry and climbed out of bed to find food in the cabinet.

The pesticide residue hadn’t been cleared yet, and him eating food again led to predictable results. Unfortunately, he was alone in the ward, and by the time he realized something was wrong, he couldn’t call for help or reach the emergency bell.

If it weren’t for the nurse checking the rooms at the right time, he’d probably already be reporting to King Yama.

Elder Qi was on night duty today and wasn’t in the hospital during the day. Given the circumstances, it was impossible for him to bring the patient back for surgery, so another doctor performed the operation.

By the time the family was notified, the surgery was already completed, and the doctor who performed the surgery informed them of the patient’s actual condition, instructing them to ask Elder Qi if there were any other questions when he returned.

Then, when Elder Qi arrived at the hospital, he found himself blocked in the office by the family, and no matter what Elder Qi said, they wouldn’t listen. They were convinced the patient’s relapse was due to Elder Qi’s injection yesterday.

Elder Qi wasn’t one with a good temper in the first place. He did everything he could, explained everything, yet the patient didn’t follow instructions and made a mistake. Now they’re blaming everything on him and refusing to listen to his explanation. How could he have a good attitude towards them?

Chuxia was equally speechless. She could understand the family’s concern for the patient’s health, but blindly blaming others indiscriminately was absolutely their fault.

Moreover, looking at them, they clearly weren’t people willing to solve the problem sensibly.

"Elder Qi, what do you plan to do?"

After contemplating for a while, Elder Qi sighed: "I understand their emotions, but I do not agree with their actions and cannot comply with their wishes."

Chuxia had already understood the family’s intentions earlier. They wanted the hospital to waive all treatment fees, or if the hospital didn’t, then they wanted Elder Qi to cover it all.

To put it bluntly, this was what later generations called medical disturbances, and of a particularly unreasonable kind. They claimed to care about their family, but to put it bluntly, they cared more about money. Or maybe now they feel that spending money without the patient being fully healthy is too much of a loss, so they’re trying to use this method to retrieve some of it.

If possible, she never wanted to think of people as being so bad, but reality had already told her that in this world, many people indeed are left with only the so-called "cunning" after being tormented by life.

But the problem is, if things don’t go their way, they’ll just continue to make trouble here, affecting not only Elder Qi’s work but also disturbing the nearby doctors, nurses, and patients.
