Chapter 1015: with translation of chapter title

994 Even if there are tens of thousands, I will go forth (Alliance Leader 1010105 bonus chapter 5)

【The surgery still has to wait; one consumable hasn't arrived.】

Zheng Ren sent a WeChat message to Xie Yiren.

【Oh, then I ordered food; what do you want to eat?】

Xie Yiren replied to Zheng Ren with a message.

【I'm easygoing; I hope to get home early.】

【Then I just ordered something; I was still planning to go out for Thai food today, we'll do it another day.】

Zheng Ren chatted briefly with Xie Yiren, then went to the urology department, and only then put away his phone.

The urology department fell silent; I don't know how the afternoon's matters were resolved. But being able to have a moment of quiet is also good, Zheng Ren thought to himself.

Entering the department, I saw Yu Zong busy in his office.

"Yu Zong, what's up?" Su Yun asked.

Seeing Zheng Ren and Su Yun arrive, Yu Zong's facial expression shifted slightly, looking relaxed, as if finally relieved.

"This side isn't urgent, let's go to your room." Su Yun said familiarly.

The Inpatient Chief lives in the hospital every day; the department has arranged a single room for him so he can rest properly.

This is much better than City First Hospital in Haicheng.

Thinking back, Zheng Ren's treatment in Haicheng was truly the lowest rung. In a small city, one can only imitate the form of a big hospital; the vital spirit can never be learned.

Arriving at Yu Zong's room, closing the door, Yu Zong reached out.

"Boss Zheng, got a cigarette?" Yu Zong asked.

"You don't smoke, do you?" Su Yun said contemptuously: "A dog's belly can't hold two taels of sesame oil; you can't even handle this little thing?"

Yu Zong sighed, took the cigarette Zheng Ren handed over, but didn't let Zheng Ren light it; he snatched the lighter away, lit the cigarettes for Zheng Ren and Su Yun, then finally lit his own and took a deep drag.

Zheng Ren and Su Yun didn't ask, just waited silently for Yu Zong to speak.

Such a matter, speaking small, is actually nothing. After all, the risks were explained before surgery; the patient and family knew the risks and were prepared to bear them.

But if spoken of broadly, once the patient's family turns hostile, it becomes quite helpless.

After a few minutes of silence, with a cigarette nearly finished, Yu Zong sighed and said, "This afternoon I had Lao He look for you, also harboring a slim hope."

"I went, but by then it was already too late." Zheng Ren sighed.

"Did the patient's family cause a medical disturbance?" Su Yun focused on that point.

"No." Yu Zong stubbed out his cigarette, sat on the bed, and said, "The patient's father also acknowledges it, but he just cries, kneels down and cries; no matter what you say to him, he doesn't respond."

"Has the body been taken away?" Su Yun asked.

Many troublemakers dump corpses directly at the hospital, then refuse to pay and won't have the body taken away. Is this considered holding a corpse hostage to cause trouble?

Just like the incident Zheng Ren encountered in Haicheng where someone dumped a parturient in obstetrics and gynecology and the family vanished without a trace.

In that incident, Zheng Ren saved the person, but the family changed their story, claiming the hospital had treated them without permission and maliciously spent a lot of money.

But their real aim was for the pregnant woman to die in the hospital, then leave the corpse in the obstetrics and gynecology department, or even at the inpatient department entrance or government building entrance, demanding a resolution.

How to resolve it is also simple: just pay money.

Once an agreement is reached and the money arrives, the previously grief-stricken group immediately scatters like birds and beasts.

Yu Zong heard Su Yun's question, shook his head, and said, "There's been no disturbance; the patient's father is still quite cooperative on this point."

Su Yun suddenly felt relieved, patted Yu Zong on the shoulder once, making a "pa" sound.

"Why put on that face?" Su Yun said, "Cheer up. Say a few pleasant things, do your best to comfort the patient's father—you've already done all you can; nobody can do more."

Yu Zong stared for a moment, then sighed, "Yun Ge'er, I think this isn't that simple."

"How so?"

"At first, Director Miao informed the patient's father that the surgery had failed." Yu Zong said: "The patient's father didn't say anything then. But later, when I pushed the patient out of the operating room to handle the corpse, he asked me how much compensation the hospital was prepared to pay."

"..."

Zheng Ren and Su Yun fell silent at the same time.

It's not impossible for things to develop to this point; there's a certain probability. Clearly, Director Miao's luck wasn't good—he stepped on a hidden mine.

"I said, wasn't it agreed? You guys guess what he said."

Zheng Ren shook his head.

"He said, Director Miao is a good person, a very good person. But being a good person has nothing to do with wanting money." Yu Zong felt somewhat troubled, "He also said he has no abilities, nobody knows him, and he only has one life."

"Looking for you to risk your life?"

"No, judging by his appearance, it seems..." Yu Zong wanted to say something, but froze for a moment.

He couldn't find a suitable word to describe it.

"What do you think he'll do?" Su Yun asked.

"I don't know." Yu Zong shook his head, "I just looked at the patient's medical record—there are no loopholes. Director Miao was also very careful; all pre-surgery explanations and communications were signed and recorded, and the patient's family was informed."

For this matter, Director Miao, as an old hand, was indeed very careful and did everything within the current limits.

If one's heart softens, it will invite many more troubles.

But even if it meant trouble, Director Miao still went ahead without hesitation.

"Even if there are tens of thousands, I will go forth"? He lacks that heroic spirit. Director Miao simply acts from a doctor's original heart, but people like him are always eliminated.

"Bad money drives out good"—this situation truly defies reason.

"Even with the recording, just sue if you're so capable." Su Yun said disdainfully.

Zheng Ren knew that Su Yun's nonchalant act was meant to comfort Yu Zong.

Before, he had never seen the patient's father, but this afternoon he saw the father kneeling outside Director Miao's office, crying, and he always felt something was off.

This matter could become a huge problem; how big exactly, Zheng Ren couldn't guess.

"Ah, Yun Ge'er, this kind of thing, whoever it lands on, they feel awful. The crucial point is, he isn't preparing to sue; he just kneels there, says nothing, just cries—what do you say we do?" Yu Zong sighed: "If you ask me, being a good person isn't something you can just do."

Actually, there's absolutely no need for doctors to be good people.

Everything follows the rules; everything has its standards—this is what doctors most hope for. No one from morning to night thinks about doing a good deed each day.

Someone like that definitely has an agenda; calling them hypocritical is not an overstatement.

But many things have no one to take care of them.

And as the window facing society and patients, doctors sometimes feel helpless.

The various feelings involved are hard to put into words.

Do your best to comfort Yu Zong; this guy still doesn't know how big a storm he'll face later.

Su Yun has experience with this kind of thing.

As the rising star of the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department in Di Du, feeling disheartened, he returned to his hometown and almost went into veterinary medicine. So he understands Yu Zong's distress, but after all, talking while standing doesn't hurt the waist, so he can only try to shift the topic and say something interesting.

About an hour later, Zheng Ren helped Xiao Yi Ren bring the food over, and directly in the Urology Department invited Yu Zong to have a bite. Everyone was lively, and he felt a bit better in his heart.

Upon hearing about the gu poison, Yu Zong was so surprised he temporarily forgot his worries.
