Chapter 269: Medical Dispute

"By the way, my name is Zhong Kui, this is my friend Qi Fei, may I ask how to address you?" Zhong Kui introduced.

"My name is Liu Dao, the department director of orthopedics, and also a colleague of Dr. Li," the male doctor introduced himself.

"So what did this Dr. Li encounter that made her so unable to think?" Zhong Kui continued to ask.

Dr. Liu, who heard this question, looked slightly surprised and asked Zhong Kui: "Didn't you brush the short video?"

Zhong Kui and Qi Fei looked at each other. Not to mention that Zhong Kui didn't like to go online, the two of them had been tossed around by Xi He and Qi Dongjun's affairs recently, so where would they have the energy to brush short videos.

Just at this time, a noisy sound came from downstairs.

Vaguely heard someone shouting: "Call Li Jin out, the doctor at Nancheng Hospital killed someone!"

Zhong Kui heard this and immediately asked: "Li Jin wouldn't be this doctor who wants to jump off the building, right?"

Dr. Liu sighed: "Yes, Dr. Li is really too pitiful. For the past month, the patient's family has posted videos online and made trouble at the hospital offline, which has seriously interfered with Dr. Li's normal medical practice."

"Shouldn't this situation be reported to the police?" Zhong Kui asked.

"Reported to the police several times, the police mediated, but they will come again next time," Dr. Liu said helplessly, opening his mobile phone and clicking on the short video to show them, "These accounts have been posting videos accusing Dr. Li of killing the patient for a month in a row. The family members post almost every day. At first, no one paid attention, but as they posted more, now more and more people are paying attention, which has put great pressure on Dr. Li."

The two watched these cyberbullying videos for a while. The main content was that an old lady named Luo Yongmei was hospitalized due to a fall and was wrongly treated by Dr. Li and died. The biased text and the family's accusations with snot and tears easily incited the emotions of netizens, and the comments were all unbearable insults.

The noise downstairs was still going on. Zhong Kui was a little annoyed. It happened that the corridor in the shape of a back looked down at the atrium.

Not far away, a mother and son with dark skin were holding a banner and accusing the crowd of onlookers, intermittently hearing that Dr. Li misdiagnosed and killed his grandmother, demanding compensation from the hospital and so on.

Zhong Kui leaned against the stainless steel railing and observed the mother and son, suddenly sneering.

"What's wrong?" Qi Fei asked curiously.

"Don't you think the sadness and anger of the two are too superficial?" Zhong Kui turned around, put her hands on the railing, facing downstairs, so she could look at the mother and son who were making trouble more carefully.

"What do you mean?" Qi Fei didn't understand.

"Their eyebrows are wrong."

"Eyebrows?"

"There is an expression we call sad eyebrows. When people are truly sad, the inner sides of their eyebrows will gather upward. But they don't. The younger one, should be the son, right? Do you see it? The look in his eyes at this moment." Zhong Kui pointed at the man's face and taught Qi Fei as if teaching on the spot.

Qi Fei looked according to Zhong Kui's hint, and sure enough, he found that in the gap between the seemingly angry expressions, the man was observing the crowd's reaction.

"Only actors care about the audience's feedback. A person immersed in his own grief will not care about these," Zhong Kui said.

Qi Fei was thoughtful, turned his head to look at Dr. Li who was still sitting dejectedly in the corner, and suddenly felt pity.

He showed his ID to Dr. Liu: "I am Qi Fei from the Criminal Police Brigade of Nancheng Police Station. I want to investigate the case of Luo Yongmei."

Dr. Liu was not very surprised to see Qi Fei's identity. Looking at the injuries on his body, he said: "You are the police officer who was sent from Baicheng in a coma, right?" Then he shook his head, "I thank you for your kindness on behalf of Dr. Li, but Luo Yongmei's family refused our request for an autopsy, and the remains have been cremated."

"Is that so?" Zhong Kui raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at the mother and son downstairs, and suddenly the corners of her mouth raised.

The hospital security finally "invited" the mother and son out of the hospital.

The hospital finally returned to the tranquility it should have.

Unexpectedly, Dr. Li actually walked towards them.

Her eyes were red and swollen, but she tried her best to look calm, as if emotional stability was a quality that a doctor must have.

It's just that as soon as she opened her mouth, her voice was still hoarse and trembling: "Thank you, otherwise I wouldn't be here today."

Speaking of this, her eyes were red. Qi Fei couldn't help but observe her eyebrows. Sure enough, as Zhong Kui said, the appearance of "sad eyebrows" appeared.

The one who was truly sad was the haggard doctor in front of him.

"It's nothing, I hope this is just your impulse," Qi Fei said softly, "I am Qi Fei, a police officer from Nancheng Police Station. Just now Dr. Liu told us the cause of the incident roughly. If you feel it's okay, I want to hear you talk about it."

Dr. Li hesitated: "After Luo Yongmei's family came to the hospital to report me, the hospital had already investigated me." Then she took a deep breath, "I can say it again.

I remember the situation that day. Luo Yongmei was an 85-year-old old lady who came from the emergency department. When she was sent, her sternum was fractured. The family stated that she was injured when she went out to pick wild vegetables.

At that time, I raised a question: what kind of fall would cause a sternum fracture?

The family said I just need to treat the illness, and don't worry about the rest.

I am a doctor, not a police officer. Luo Yongmei's sternum had obvious displacement and needed surgery as soon as possible.

However, the family insisted on conservative treatment on the grounds that the old lady was too old and didn't want her to suffer.

Without the family's signature, surgery could not be done. I could only try my best to reduce Luo Yongmei's pain while continuing to persuade the family while treating.

However, they never agreed.

I told them that if there was no surgery, Luo Yongmei would likely be life-threatening due to complications of lung infection after a long time.

But no matter how I persuaded them, it was useless.

Just like this, Luo Yongmei had a serious infection after two weeks of conservative treatment.

Because of her advanced age, although our hospital tried our best to rescue her, we still couldn't save her.

It was from the time Luo Yongmei passed away that the family suddenly insisted that my treatment was problematic, which led to Luo Yongmei's death, and demanded compensation from the hospital."

"Who does the family refer to?" Qi Fei asked.

"It's Luo Yongmei's son, named Sheng Dazhi, daughter-in-law Zhang Yingdi, and grandson Sheng Tianbao," Dr. Li reported the names of these three people without thinking.

"The old lady suffered a serious injury, but insisted on not doing surgery. Is it really because she was afraid of the old lady suffering? It's a bit strange," Zhong Kui said.

Dr. Li said, "What I find even stranger is the old lady's attitude toward her family members. It was her son and daughter-in-law who took turns caring for Luo Yongmei, and several times I saw the old lady endure her pain to pat Sheng Dazhi with her hand."
