Chapter 195

In the doctor's office, only Wu Guo Nan's group remained at this moment.

Although they encountered a difficult patient like Pang Hong, the normal diagnosis and treatment of Zhang Mingcan and Hong Du Lao Zhuren's group still had to operate. Even Wu Guo Nan transferred the patients who needed surgery recently to their side.

Work is a big team; there must be cooperation and a sense of priority and urgency.

Xue Tao touched his big nose at this moment, thick eyebrows like knives: "Director Wu, for his situation, can we find a breakthrough from his family? After all, Pang Hong has parents, an ex-wife, and a son."

Wu Guo Nan immediately stretched out his hand to refuse: "No, you absolutely must not hit on crooked ideas in this regard."

"You also said, the wife is an ex-wife, the child is a minor and does not possess full capacity for civil conduct; what use is it if you persuade his son?"

"His son's wife had surgery, you have surgery? Waiting for our department to pay compensation to support his wife and children in their old age, right?"

Patient!

Has the right to informed consent!

This is a right granted to them by law.

As long as one is a patient, one has this kind of power. And anyone who enters the hospital and establishes a diagnosis-and-treatment relationship with the hospital is a patient; this is also stipulated by law.

This regulation was originally meant to protect ordinary people, yet it has also become Pang Hong's protective umbrella at present.

"Then what about his parents?" Xue Tao still wanted to take a shortcut.

"The current Pang Hong has not lost capacity for civil conduct; he does not need a guardian."

"Of course, you can also have his parents come over to pressure him, but I don't feel this would be of any use. If Pang Hong explained the situation to his parents, it would instead become an obstacle for us."

"At present, Pang Hong still maintains his last shred of face and hasn't involved his children and parents. The one we need to settle is just him alone, not several people." Wu Guo Nan finished speaking rapidly, then vetoed Xue Tao's suggestion once again.

"Did you call the Security Office?" Wu Guo Nan asked.

"Called, but the Security Office said the recording equipment cannot be moved; it's best to have Pang Hong go to the Security Office. If he can sit in a wheelchair now, go communicate with the police outside!" Xue Tao answered.

"Good, go explain the situation." Wu Guo Nan checked through the relevant materials for surgical informed consent.

However, before long, Xue Tao came back.

"Bureau Chief Liu outside said they have law enforcement equipment that can record the whole process, and they also have to participate the whole time; just talk in the ward."

"Does the Security Office agree? Actually, having the police as corroborating witnesses is the best, and has the most credibility." Wu Guo Nan asked again.

"Agreed. The Security Office and the Dean both agreed; at that time Dean Qin will also come over personally."

……

There were three people from the department going to talk and get signatures.

One is Wu Guo Nan, one is Xue Tao; the two are the main force for the talk and signatures. The third is Fang Ziye, because the lead surgeon Wu Guo Nan contacted last was Tongji Hospital's Professor Duan Hong and Zhongnan Hospital's Professor Deng Yong, two great figures, operating simultaneously on left and right.

Truly using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Two top trauma surgeons, who don't even do ordinary nonunion surgeries anymore, came down to do open reduction internal fixation for fractures and simple debridement and suturing, exploration and hemostasis.

Although Wu Xuanqi does not serve as the talk-and-signature representative, Professor Deng Yong had Fang Ziye witness on the side, lest there be pitfalls inside.

The professors who came to support the consultation and surgery also didn't hope the talk-and-signature process would be rash, resulting in them carrying a stench back with them.

Pang Hong still refused to choose!

But he wasn't angry either; instead, he looked seriously around at Wu Guo Nan, then said slowly: "Director Wu, you avoided the important and dwelled on the trivial!"

"I'm asking you, what exactly is my current condition? When will you let the forensic examiner come appraise whether it constitutes a disability? What kind of harm did that Shen Dong cause me? You didn't mention a single word!"

Trouble arrived.

Pang Hong is not an ordinary person; he isn't even an ordinary doctor. He seizes any point and can annoy a person to death.

Indeed, Pang Hong was beaten and injured, and suffered fractures; this is already no longer ordinary minor injury.

Pang Hong continued: "According to our country's legal stipulations, femoral shaft fracture shortening ≥5.0cm, angular deformity ≥30° or severe rotational deformity; tibial-fibular fracture shortening ≥5.0cm, angular deformity ≥30° or severe rotational deformity; knee joint contracture deformity flexion ≥30°; unilateral knee joint cruciate ligament complete rupture residual rotational instability; femoral neck fracture or hip joint dislocation leading to femoral head necrosis; long bone fracture nonunion or false joint formation of limbs; long bone fracture complicated by chronic osteomyelitis……"

"All belong to Grade 2 Serious Injury. These complications, you didn't mention a single word, right?"

Wu Guo Nan didn't expect Pang Hong to actually continue picking faults in this aspect, so he said: "Pang Hong, you also saw, on my side there is Police Officer Liu from the bureau, our hospital's On-duty Director, Dean Qin, Director Zhang, Security Office Director Liu are also on site; these people can all serve as witnesses."

"Pang Hong, your current mental state is also normal."

"I tell you clearly once again: your current situation is an absolute surgical indication, and the earlier the surgery the better."

"As for those things you mentioned, they do not fall within our hospital's scope of functions. You were originally a practitioner; you communicating these with us is meaningless."

"Our hospital cannot communicate with the forensic department."

"Our department's advice to you is surgical treatment, and we will invite the best trauma surgery experts in our province to perform surgical treatment for you."

"If you refuse, it means you are willing to bear all consequences of refusing treatment and delaying treatment!" Wu Guo Nan's tone and expression were as usual, neither pleased nor angry.

"Then there's nothing to talk about?" Pang Hong heard this, finished speaking, and started 'playing dead' again!

A posture of completely refusing to talk further unless you bring the forensic examiner over.

This is very obviously trying to nail Shen Dong dead!

Liu Chaodong then said: "Forensic appraisal of injury severity is conducted after active treatment, not by fixing your condition at the time of injury and delaying treatment."

"Don't think I'm a layman." Pang Hong looked at Liu Chaodong.

"You are the layman here."

"After the public security organ accepts an injury case, it should issue an injury appraisal commission letter within 24 hours, informing the victim to go to a designated appraisal institution for injury appraisal."

"According to the national relevant department's promulgated standards for personal injury appraisal and the victim's injury condition at the time and the hospital's diagnosis certificate, for those meeting conditions for immediate injury appraisal, the public security organ's appraisal institution should propose an appraisal opinion within 24 hours from acceptance of commission, and issue an appraisal document within 3 days."

"Just now you also heard, Director Wu said my injury is not complex and meets conditions for immediate appraisal."

"As for subsequent sequelae left behind, that is the process of re-appraisal for serious injury and disability." Pang Hong sneered.

"I checked; as long as the law hasn't been amended, it's still stipulated like this."

Liu Chaodong: "You!"

Wu Guo Nan immediately retreated two steps, said to the hospital's Dean: "Dean Qin, you also saw, the patient doesn't cooperate; our doctors' words to him fall on deaf ears, no response given."

Then looked at Liu Chaodong: "Officer Liu, our doctors also have no way; if the patient's condition changes, even the possibility of death occurs, we are also powerless!"

Pang Hong then smiled and raised the recording mobile phone at Wu Guo Nan: "Director Wu, your words are very reasonable."

"We're all adults here, and adults should take responsibility for their own actions and choices."

"I currently meet the treatment indication, and I've already been admitted and established a doctor-patient relationship, so you still have to find a way for me. What do you mean 'powerless'? Didn't you just propose so many contingency plans?"

"It's them being unprofessional, not conducting an injury assessment on me in a timely manner, trying to pull a 'lamp-black effect' on me, so I can't let fairness be affected just for the sake of treatment."

"Knowing the law and breaking it, the crime is aggravated." Pang Hong sneered, the stubble on his mouth looking particularly unkempt.

Pang Hong was hospitalized, so there was definitely a treatment indication; the hospital had no way to discharge the patient, otherwise it would be illegal, and it wouldn't be humanitarian either.

Now Pang Hong didn't seem to be looking for trouble with the hospital, but was fixated on Shen Dong and Liu Chaodong and the others; who knew where such deep hatred came from.

Just then.

Liu Chaodong's mobile phone rang.

Liu Chaodong stepped back to answer: "What?"

"That standardized residency trainee said something else? The real suspect has been found?"

"Then what about this Pang Hong?"

"Fuck." Liu Chaodong heard this, glared viciously at Pang Hong, gestured at Pang Hong several times, making hand signals.

"You—"

"Bureau Chief Liu, I'm the one you guys arrested, these legs of mine were beaten by your people, my so-called crime was also pinned on me by you, how can you blame me?"

"Does crying injustice to you guys work?" Pang Hong sneered.

He even waved the mobile phone in his hand: "Don't look at me either, the words all came out of your mouths, I didn't induce, didn't coerce, we're all people recording and chatting."

"Do you know, your current behavior is already suspected of being illegal?" Liu Chaodong's face was very dark, dark to the point of terrifying, dark enough to want to swallow Pang Hong bite by bite.

"Suspected?"

"Another trumped-up charge, right?"

"I fundamentally don't fear you framing me! You guys haven't not done this kind of thing before, I'm not afraid of you bastards!" Pang Hong turned his head away.

"Right now you should be getting the forensic team here, then fix the evidence for me. When the time comes I'll go to court and prosecute your unit, and all of this is evidence!"

Liu Chaodong turned and left.

Pang Hong, for his part, openly signed his name, fundamentally not needing Wu Guo Nan to say any more nonsense.

After signing, Pang Hong then said: "Director Wu, I'm still saying the same thing, wait until the forensic team comes to conduct the injury assessment, then I'll have surgery."

And arriving here, it was as if everything had turned into a farce.

Dean Qin and Director Liu of the Security Office and others all left separately. Feeling that everything today was truly fucking hilarious.

"Director Pang, why go to all this trouble?" Wu Guo Nan looked at Pang Hong, not understanding at all why Pang Hong had to make things so stiff with Liu Chaodong and the others.

"You don't understand—" Pang Hong tilted his head to the side, hissing and twitching, feeling the pain coming from his legs.

As if this really was a farce.

……

Wu Guo Nan and Xue Tao, who had left, both had faces full of helplessness.

Tossed about this way and that, in the end it turned out to be just a misunderstanding.

Pang Hong wasn't some murderer, but was framed with a crime; the real murderer was someone else. Instead, it was Shen Dong and the others who, after a bout of shouting from Pang Hong, had his legs broken.

Then what about all this fuss in our own department?

Donations?

Wu Guo Nan and Xue Tao felt like clowns, silently cursing Liu Chaodong and the others' incompetence.

But what else could be done?

Could only start the surgery, and the people who should be invited were all on the way, so could only instruct the operating room to be ready with pre-op preparations at any time.

Just treat it as lightening the punishment for Shen Dong and the others, cleaning up the mess for them because they beat the wrong person.

Of course, the previous promises, the recordings Pang Hong made, all of this still had to be done with a stiff upper lip.

Could it be that because Pang Hong was a suspect, because of justice, wanting to send him in, that so many arrangements were made!

Now he's innocent, instead you'd completely cancel all previous arrangements, and the professors already on the high-speed rail, you'd have them return halfway?

You can think this in your heart, but you can't say it, and moreover, things can't be done this way.

……

The forensic team Pang Hong requested also came, only the injury assessment report would still take a while to come out.

However, Pang Hong wasn't worried either, because he recorded the whole process. Only when the forensic team was leaving did he say: "The evidence, I fixed it long ago. You're all medical people, don't think about shirking or covering up for someone."

"Whatever it is, that's what it is. Finally, if the result differs from your report, let me remind you: damn it, people who mix in society all have some connections."

"And the connections I can find aren't people who mix in the provincial circle. If you guys resolutely don't follow procedure, you might also end up in hot water. I'm not afraid of escalating things……"

The forensic team, faces dark, left.

Actually Pang Hong's current diagnosis was very clear, just depended on how their report came out.

Only, Pang Hong biting down on finding this trouble, biting down on finding that trouble, made them quite displeased.

……

"You say these things, what kind of mess are you making?"

"How can a suspect still be mistaken?" Back in the doctor's office, Xue Tao complained helplessly.

As if feeling very disappointed inside, as if all the efforts he'd made had their grade lowered by several levels at once.

However, Wu Guo Nan looked at Xue Tao and said: "Xue Tao, haven't you heard, deception in warfare?"

"If we didn't do it this way, do you think this Pang Hong would be willing to have surgery?"

Xue Tao heard this, abruptly turned his head, looked at Wu Guo Nan.

Then looked again at Fang Ziye and Wang Zhongxing and the others, discovering that besides Wu Guo Nan, everyone else seemed to not know about this matter.

So this was actually a tactic by Liu Chaodong to make Pang Hong let down his guard, so he pretended to have caught another murderer, just to make Pang Hong lower his psychological guard?

"Director Wu, what do you mean?"

"But that doesn't make sense. Since Pang Hong has already done this, why would he still think about turning back? Can he even turn back?" Xue Tao was very confused.

Only the passion deep in his heart surged up once again.

A man remains a youth until death; why should a man not carry a Wu hook?

Doing things for justice is what many people want to do, and within one's ability, it is an unshirkable duty.

"This isn't our concern. What we need to do is perform the surgery well."

"Same as always — we're just doctors, responsible only for treating illness and saving lives. Investigating cases, methods, suspects — none of that has anything to do with us."

"This Pang Hong is just a patient, a sick person. Absolutely no complications during surgery!" Wu Guo Nan warned Xue Tao, afraid that Xue Tao — with his thick eyebrows, big eyes, and coarse nose — would get hot-headed mid-operation, pull some small stunt, and ruin Pang Hong.

Then, around exactly one o'clock in the afternoon, after learning that Professor Deng Yong and Professor Duan Hong had both already arrived in Ba County, Pang Hong was sent to the operating room by the department.

Fang Ziye also followed the crowd into the operating room, but at this moment, there were slightly quite a few people inside.

Nie Mingxian was in the anesthesia team, but the anesthesia team at this moment numbered as many as nine people. Besides Nie Mingxian performing the nerve block anesthesia, there were another five or six people gathered around a female professor who looked very refined.

The female professor sat there openly watching, occasionally chatting with Tang Yue — whom Fang Ziye had met once yesterday — about something...

At the same time, the doctor team Fang Ziye was in was not small in number either.

Besides Wu Guo Nan's team, Old Director Hong Du and Director Zhang Mingcan were also in the operating room, while Zhong Xue, Gao, and Wang Zhongxing had gone to the train station to pick people up.

And besides Director Zhang Mingcan, Wu Xuanqi from Minzu University Hospital, as well as the Director of Trauma Surgery from Minzu University Hospital, were also all in the operating room. Who knew if they were there to make up numbers or really came over wanting to shine brilliantly.

Clearly, for this one surgery, everyone had prepared for a long time, all for a single outcome: do Pang Hong's surgery well, and then send Pang Hong directly from the operating room onto the road toward the prison hospital.

No one showed any malice toward Pang Hong; they only discussed the condition objectively.

Soon, Nie Mingxian completed the anesthesia.

After anesthesia, that female professor personally confirmed the anesthesia depth, asking Pang Hong: "Hello, do you feel pain?"

"No." Pang Hong shook his head.

"Then what about touch sensation?"

"Yes!" Pang Hong nodded in reply.

Hearing this, the female professor seemed to realize something, and said: "Then move a bit."

As soon as the professor spoke, all the anesthesiologists nearby instantly turned pale with shock.

After this anesthesia, no pain is common. Occasional touch sensation is also possible to achieve. But motor function still existing — what the f*ck?

A bit godlike?

"Holy sh*t!" Hearing this, even Wu Xuanqi let out a low exclamation of amazement, clearly feeling that the anesthesia effect currently achievable was simply unimaginable.

Full preparation, deception in warfare, entrapment.

And Pang Hong, on the other hand, seemed as if he knew nothing of it all, still there exchanging pleasantries with Wu Guo Nan: "Director Wu, please thank Professor Feng for me."

Wu Guo Nan was a wolf in human skin too, laughing hehe: "Sure, sure. Professor Feng, Pang Hong says thank you."

Looking like he had a very good relationship with Pang Hong, only the smile was a bit ugly, as if saying, who would have such a good relationship with you, Pang Hong?
