Chapter 2893: with translation of chapter title

Zheng Ren felt that such a mistake occurring in the hospital was utterly unbelievable.

The Shou Bing was done wrongly, the appendix incision opened on the left side; he had heard of such things before, but grabbing a random person off the street outside the Operating Room and just doing the Shou Bing on them…… Such a thing is simply like Lin Ge telling a story.

Even the most absurd and baseless story wouldn't be made up like this; it's completely illogical and incoherent.

When Lin Ge came in, he looked completely bewildered; it turned out to be because of this matter.

"Then what happened?"

"The patient said he didn't understand why he had to take off his pants and get on the Operating table, but the nurses all said so, so he didn't object. He even thought it was some kind of procedure, like taking a rectal temperature."

"Until after the Shou Bing was done, he got down and started walking……"

"Wait, Director Lin!" Zheng Ren again realized something he didn't understand, immediately stopped Lin Ge and asked: "Hemorrhoid Shou Bing, not spinal anesthesia, they did local anesthesia?"

"Huh." Lin Ge nodded, "Local anesthesia was used; after the Shou Bing, the patient got off the Operating table and the more he thought about it, the stranger it felt; a few minutes later he started hurting, and only then did he realize he had undergone the Shou Bing."

Zheng Ren sighed.

This matter…… really fucked up.

He couldn't be bothered to ask which hospital it was, public or private didn't matter; such a messed-up situation itself had many ways to avoid.

"Shouldn't pre-operative patients wear patient gowns? Shouldn't pre-operative patients be taken to the Operating Room by a doctor or the Operating Room's circulating nurse? Shouldn't, when escorting the patient to the Operating Room, we repeatedly verify and ask the patient, confirming three times?"

"Nothing at all, just waving outside the Operating Room, randomly pulling in a person in ordinary clothes and performing the Shou Bing on them?"

How irregular is that!

Even a barefoot doctor in the countryside wouldn't do that.

Furthermore, the Gang Chang Ke Shou Bing is considered a contaminated procedure; how could it be done together in the Big External Operating Room? One problem after another, Zheng Ren couldn't be bothered to think further.

In this hospital, the Gang Chang Ke Shou Bing and cesarean section are performed in the same large Operating Room; aren't they afraid of contamination?

All of these are questions, things Zheng Ren can't figure out.

As for the pre-operative surgeon not double-checking, this kind of thing isn't even worth calling an issue.

"Then what happened, Director Lin?" Lin Yuan also curiously looked at Lin Ge and asked.

"Afterwards, the patient saw no family members around, called and found out his wife had already given birth, then returned to the ward." Lin Ge said, "Lying in bed watching the child, he felt more and more pain; after confirming he had undergone the Shou Bing, he became angry."

"Anyone would be angry." Zheng Ren said.

"Then he started complaining." Lin Ge said, "I'm on the patient's side on this; it's completely unreliable, the fact that nothing happened before was just luck, or…… sigh. To be honest, I still haven't figured out why this happened."

"When I first started working, I also encountered something similar." Gao Shaojie said from the side, "A surgeon brought the patient's friend and just went up onto the Operating table."

"How did he bring him?" Zheng Ren asked curiously.

"They said the two were acquainted; when handling the hospitalization procedures, this friend was busy back and forth, only he stayed in contact with the surgeon."

"That surgeon didn't think much of it, always believing his friend was the patient; pre-operatively he didn't do a physical exam, had nothing, and just went up onto the Operating table and performed the Shou Bing." Gao Shaojie said.

"......" Zheng Ren shook his head, really not knowing what to say about these matters.

"Professor Gao, how was your situation finally handled?" Lin Ge asked.

"No handling, just friends; after the mistake, they compensated with a meal and that was it." Gao Shaojie said, "Back when I first started work, many habits were different from now, and the rules weren't as strict as they are today. Director Lin, how was this morning's matter handled?"

"The hospital admitted that Mr. Wang's hemorrhoid Shou Bing was indeed done wrong. But the hospital side said, the error was shared responsibility; the hospital explained that it was both parties' fault because Mr. Wang is also an adult, and when the doctor performed the Shou Bing on him, he could have explained the situation."

"That explanation is a bit excessive." Zheng Ren frowned and said.

"The hospital's meaning is that it's an outpatient Shou Bing; the patient is an adult, so he should have said something." Lin Ge laughed angrily.

"How was it finally resolved?"

"Article 37 of the Physician Practice Law clearly states that revoking the Practice License is a relatively severe penalty. At the time I suggested just paying compensation, but that hospital would rather revoke the doctor's Practice License than pay more, the cap being just 5000."

Zheng Ren silently braided a red string, having no idea about this.

If it were 912, they'd definitely have just paid compensation and been done with it. For this kind of responsibility accident, at least a 6-12 month suspension would be required. Zheng Ren hasn't looked over the specific regulations, but he could guess roughly.

But the hospital side said they wouldn't pay more; Zheng Ren also couldn't be bothered to guess the human factors involved. This approach is more like a private hospital, rather than a public hospital willing to settle matters peacefully.

"Didn't the doctor side do any work themselves?" Gao Shaojie asked.

"Who knows, for this topsy-turvy matter I just gave my opinion and then left." Lin Ge said, "Coming back to see Zheng Lao Ban braiding a red string…… to say this person, he really is different."

This time Zheng Ren also didn't say anything; facing such a bizarre thing, what more is there to say? He turned his head, reviewed it, and still couldn't figure out where the problem lay.

Absurd and baseless, something that could never happen ended up happening due to a twist of fate.

Life is more extraordinary than drama; that saying is correct, at least as seen in this matter before us.

"Zheng Lao Ban, where's Doctor Su?" Lin Ge, not seeing Su Yun, asked.

"He went off to be busy; probably there's a research project." Zheng Ren said offhand.

"They've won the Nobel Prize, yet they're busy every day out of sight." Lin Ge chuckled and said, "Zheng Lao Ban, there are a few media interview requests; you see……"

Zheng Ren slightly shook his head.

"Okay, then I'll cancel them for you. I've told the media outlet's leadership that you don't like interviews, and also don't come directly to the ward to be a nuisance." Lin Ge laughed: "If there's nothing else, I'll be off; you stay busy."

"Fine, contact by phone if anything comes up." Zheng Ren said while standing up.

"The Medical Department is short-staffed; I still need to go up and attend a consultation." Lin Ge said, "Again, it's a lower-level hospital where after surgery problems arise and they come to us."

"Oh? What patient?" Zheng Ren asked.

"Anastomotic leak; I just got back, haven't looked at the chart yet, don't know the specifics, will talk after I go." Lin Ge said, "Once I bring out a capable surgeon, I can fully hand over the Medical Department's work."

Lin Ge had high expectations for this.

The Medical Department is like a restless volcano, ready to erupt at any moment.
