Chapter 3048: with translation of chapter title

"Director Zhao, you don't need to be polite, we're not drinking." Zheng Ren lightly picked up a medical record and continued reading.

They were looking for Su Yun, Professor Su, that was the result of the draw. But Zheng Ren, Zheng Lao Ban actually followed along, Zhao Chengyin felt this was somewhat against regulations. However, this couldn't be said; the more you say, the more you offend.

The directors of the Medical Mediation Committee were quite courteous toward Zheng Lao Ban, Zhao Chengyin knew the weight. According to Lin Ge's saying, they would do as they said; the more he resisted, the worse the outcome might be.

"Boss, have you finished looking?" Su Yun said, "Gauze tumor migration is definite, the previous adjustment conclusion is fine."

Zheng Ren frowned slightly, did not answer Su Yun's words.

After reviewing the medical record, the last page was the conclusion of the Jinhai Shi Medical Mediation Committee. Just as Zheng Ren and Su Yun had said in the car earlier, the operating doctor's medical license was revoked for six months, the nurse bore greater responsibility, and her nursing license was revoked for life.

In addition, there was a high amount of compensation; this hospital compensated 120 ten thousand yuan.

The penalty was already severe, basically according to the upper limit, there was no problem with that. But Zheng Ren felt something was off; he furrowed his brows tightly, looked over the medical record again, searching for anything he might have missed.

"Do the patient's family agree?"

"The family is still handling the funeral affairs, they haven't communicated yet. Because the situation is very bad, experts from Di Du have been brought in to conduct the final arbitration." said the director of the Jinhai Shi Medical Mediation Committee.

"Isn't there already a final conclusion?"

"We discussed it ourselves, but later some comrades still felt it was a major matter, and having the local expert team make the judgment might be unfair." said the Medical Mediation Committee director with a righteous expression.

Zheng Ren glanced at him, his words sounded pleasant. If he hadn't said that, in Zheng Ren's eyes he was just a blur, unnoticed. But now the blur faded, Zheng Ren frowned at the Medical Mediation Committee director, trying to find any clue.

"Zheng Lao Ban, what do you think we should do to resolve this?" the Medical Mediation Committee director said, rubbing his hands.

"The solution opinion is already complete." Zheng Ren said softly, "Top-level handling, we have nothing to say; how are the doctors' and nurses' emotions?"

"..." The Medical Mediation Committee director and Zhao Chengyin didn't expect Zheng Lao Ban to ask that.

When encountering such a medical dispute, or the malignant event of gauze left in the body, the focus and contradiction all point to the surgeon, instrument nurse, and circulating nurse. Does Zheng Lao Ban still care about their emotions?

Or is it that Zheng Lao Ban's sense of justice is overflowing, feeling that merely revoking the practice license is not enough?

"Zheng Lao Ban, do you mean to pursue criminal responsibility? There are precedents; I've studied this intensively these past days." Zhao Chengyin said solemnly.

"Zheng Lao Ban." The Medical Mediation Committee director felt somewhat embarrassed, "We are also following regulations, pursuing criminal responsibility..."

"Article 335 of the Criminal Law stipulates: 'Medical personnel who, due to serious irresponsibility, cause the death of a patient or serious harm to the patient's physical health shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention.' Zhao Chengyin said, 'Zheng Lao Ban is right on this point; if you feel the penalty is insufficient, you may pursue criminal responsibility; on behalf of the hospital, I express understanding.'"

"..."

Zheng Ren stared in surprise, looking at Zhao Chengyin's eyes. I was just asking about the medical staff's emotions; how did he jump straight to criminal law?

What does that mean?

"Director Zhao, you're being too harsh." Su Yun said unhappily.

Originally on the way, both Zheng Ren and Su Yun had opinions about this hospital's doctors and nurses.

Even the two of them had speculated that, because conditions didn't allow, gauze was left in the body to compress and stop bleeding; afterward they forgot to remove it, or the patient simply forgot about the second-stage surgery... such melodramatic things have happened before.

Causing loss of life, that is indeed their responsibility, this is beyond reproach. Even someone like Zhu Liangchen would have nothing to argue about.

But the handling of this side is somewhat harsh, to the extent that Su Yun finds it hard to accept.

"For medical personnel involved in a medical accident, besides punishment according to the preceding clause, the health administrative department may also order a suspension of practice activities for more than six months up to one year; in serious cases, revoke their practice license."

"I have studied this before and also consulted lawyer friends." Su Yun placed the medical record and related materials on the table, frowned and said, "The current handling is already quite serious."

"Regarding pursuing criminal responsibility for the subject of medical accident liability, our country's criminal law does not impose criminal penalties on medical institutions, directly responsible supervisors, and other directly responsible personnel, in full consideration of the high risk of medical behavior; expanding criminal sanctions would suppress medical innovation, detrimental to medical industry development, and overall not conducive to protecting patient interests."

"Yes, yes, you're right." Zhao Chengyin bowed repeatedly; the smile on his face made Zheng Ren feel a bit chilly.

"Does the rabbit's death make the fox sad? Well, that's not the case."

No matter how biased one's position, this incident cannot be said to have no fault on the medical staff. But what responsibility should be borne, what responsibility should be borne, Zhao Chengyin's attitude is to exterminate completely... this makes Zheng Ren quite uncomfortable.

Not speaking of protection, nor making excuses, after raising an unrelated question, they directly demand criminal responsibility.

This person is truly cold-hearted.

Su Yun glanced at Zheng Ren, seeing him slightly squint his eyes without speaking, then said in a low voice, "Considering it is gauze tumor invasion causing gauze migration, appearing in the patient's intestine, this point is fine. The judgment of the condition matches the autopsy results; we are not skilled at responsibility determination, we only speak of the condition."

"You're right, you're right." Zhao Chengyin said with a smile.

"Then let's do that." Su Yun picked up a pen, after signing placed the ballpoint pen on the table, and said, "We're leaving."

"Let's have a meal together; you two... three from Di Du have come after much trouble to help us solve the problem." Zhao Chengyin said sincerely.

"No." Su Yun glanced at him and coldly refused directly.

Zheng Ren and Su Yun's interest was not high; Su Yun stood up and said, "Whether to specifically pursue criminal responsibility, you decide yourselves."

Seeing his tone somewhat cold, Zhao Chengyin nodded repeatedly, and did not continue to flatter and speak on.

Su Yun turned and left; Zheng Ren hesitated a moment and asked, "Can I take a medical record with me?"

"..." The Medical Mediation Committee director and Zhao Chengyin stared at each other, not knowing what this was for.

"Mm, I know." Zheng Ren nodded slightly, gave a small smile, and turned to leave.

Zhao Chengyin felt panicked in his heart, glanced at the medical record but didn't take it; instead he chased after them, continually admitting fault.

Only after Zheng Ren, Su Yun, and Lin Ge got into the car, watching the BMW X5 disappear into the night, did he finally let out a breath.
