Chapter 508: with translation of chapter title
That person covered their hand, face full of anger, but didn't dare to flare up in front of Fan Tian Shui.
"Our daughter, why can't we still speak?" the patient's mother, a Middle-aged Woman who looked nearly fifty, shouted shrilly.
What she said was what Zheng Ren feared most.
Although he didn't know the relevant legal clauses, Zheng Ren understood that biological parents, no matter what they said, always had a greater Advantage than him.
Damn it, why hasn't Lawyer Ge's call come yet!
"Yo, who are you." Su Yun finished her call on the side, walked over, and said, "You are the patient's parents, where's the evidence? These days, there are many scammers."
The patient's parents' anger surged, but with Fan Tian Shui standing like a small mountain to the side, even if they were angry they couldn't directly flare up.
Taking out a Household Register, Zheng Ren slowly flipped through it, trying to delay as much time as possible.
The patient was called Du Chunfang, a family of four, plus a younger brother.
"Your ID Cards?" Su Yun saw Zheng Ren's slow movements, immediately guessed his intention, and although she didn't know why, she still found various reasons and excuses to help Zheng Ren delay time.
Actually, Zheng Ren also didn't know what use delaying time had; he had no experience handling such problems, just relying on his passion, delaying one Minute is one Minute.
Anyway, the calls that needed to be made have been made; specifically how it goes depends on whether Du Chunfang's life is tough enough.
Looking over the ID Card and comparing with the Household Register, Zheng Ren took it slow, not in a hurry. Actually, his inner anger was great, his anxiety raising his blood pressure as high as his height.
Damn Lawyer Ge, still not calling?!
No matter how perfunctorily or delayed the matter at hand is, it'll end in less than ten Minutes. He makes a call; even if it helps nothing, at least it can delay a few more Minutes.
The patient's mother demanded: "What exactly do you want to do! Hurry up and send out our daughter!"
"If you don't send her out, we'll call the police!" the patient's father said.
"Ding-ling~" the sound of the Elevator doors opening rang out.
Then, a figure in a suit and leather shoes came running over, panting.
Huh? Lawyer Ge? How is he still in Hai Cheng?
Zheng Ren froze for a moment; he had originally wanted to answer the phone and consult a bit, but didn't expect Lin JiaoJiao to directly throw Lawyer Ge over.
"Lawyer Ge, this way!" Zheng Ren waved.
Lawyer Ge's refined face broke into a smile, slightly fawning, as he came to Zheng Ren's side.
"Chief Zheng, what's happening? Is someone causing trouble?" Lawyer Ge glanced at the people before him and asked.
"No." Zheng Ren said, then quietly explained the situation to Lawyer Ge in full.
"You, thinking that as parents you can do whatever you want?" After hearing Zheng Ren's words, Lawyer Ge showed no emotion, looked down on Du Chunfang's parents with contempt, a disdain anyone could see.
"Who are you?" Du Chunfang's father, his momentum deflated, asked doubtfully.
"I'm a lawyer, a lawyer from Di Du, specializing in this kind of lawsuit. I've seen plenty of people like you." Lawyer Ge speaks to people with great experience, saying what each person needs to hear.
Upon hearing they were lawyers, Du Chunfang's parents immediately wilted. Although they had never seen a lawyer in their lives, it didn't stop them from knowing lawyers are specially responsible for handling lawsuits.
"Doing whatever you want! Trampling the law! Do you think Hai Cheng is your countryside? As long as you're willing to be shameless and cause trouble, you can do whatever you want?!" Lawyer Ge didn't bother reasoning with them, first slapping several big hats on them.
Su Yun pursed her lips.
Zheng Ren read their expressions, feeling that Du Chunfang's parents seemed to have wilted, his heart slightly eased.
"Chief Zheng, I want to see the parties involved." Lawyer Ge said.
"Good." Zheng Ren answered decisively, also knowing Lawyer Ge's words might not be true. In front of the patient's family, many things couldn't be said.
After saying that, Zheng Ren led Lawyer Ge into the ICU.
Su Yun followed behind, glancing back at Du Chun's parents with a icy gaze.
"Chief Zheng, is the patient conscious?" After entering, Lawyer Ge immediately asked the key point.
"On ventilator assistance... Su Yun, does Du Chunfang have consciousness?" Zheng Ren asked.
"In a sedated state." Su Yun said in the simplest terms.
"That's troublesome." Lawyer Ge calmly said: "Legally speaking, when the patient lacks autonomous consciousness, the spouse and parents have guardianship and can decide whether to withdraw treatment."
Zheng Ren felt a chill in his heart.
"Is there no other way?" Zheng Ren asked hopefully.
Lawyer Ge slowly shook his head.
"..." Zheng Ren was speechless.
He trusted Lawyer Ge's professional ability; otherwise, he wouldn't have sat in the traffic police brigade's office back then, looking down on everyone, with the air of saying everyone present was trash.
But now even Lawyer Ge says there's no way.
"Hey, you've got it wrong." Su Yun frowned, saying: "What nonsense are you talking about.
"Huh?" Zheng Ren let Su Yun vent at him, immediately trying to recall where the mistake was.
"The patient is just using ventilator assistance for a long time to avoid agitation, hence the sedative. It's not a cerebral hemorrhage, so there's no consciousness." Su Yun said.
"Can it recover? It can be done quickly!" Lawyer Ge immediately said.
"Yes." Su Yun said, gesturing, and hurried straight into the ICU.
Zheng Ren's hope greatly increased; he instructed Lawyer Ge to change into sterile garments, and then the two entered the ICU together.
"The patient is using midazolam, 50 mg continuously pumped in for sedation." Su Yun had already read the medical orders clearly, then told Zheng Ren: "If needed, use flumazenil midazolam as an antagonist, 4 mg intramuscular injection."
After a moment's hesitation, Su Yun added, "This dose is a bit large, but considering the patient is relatively young and given the situation, I still recommend this dosage."
"Wait a moment." Zheng Ren said, then looked at Lawyer Ge and asked: "What documents need to be signed, right?"
"Well, there's a printer here. I'll use my phone as a hotspot, download a document, make slight edits, print it out, and have the patient sign it to make it effective." Lawyer Ge said.
Zheng Ren finally let out a breath.
The doctors and nurses in the ICU were dumbfounded.
"They brought the lawyer into the ICU to handle paperwork this quickly?"
"Chief Zheng is capable."
The ICU is not unfamiliar with such matters; some elderly people near death sign asset division documents in the ICU and need to leave audio-visual records.
But letting the patient decide who makes the call—whether to withdraw life support—is something I've never encountered before.
"Is there someone you can trust?" Lawyer Ge, accustomed to the dark side and pressed for time, immediately asked another sharp question that gave Zheng Ren a headache.
That young man—can he be trusted?
Zheng Ren hesitated for a moment.
Just as he was hesitating, the ICU's inner doors opened and Director Pan and the Medical Department's Section Chief Zhou walked in.
