Chapter 99
“Wait for my good news.”
Zhou Can walked out of the conference room.
The medical dispute mediation room is divided into an inner and outer room.
The inner room has a long table with chairs on both sides, having a certain seriousness.
The outside is arranged like a tea room, more casual and inviting.
Several family members were sitting outside.
The hospital was at fault in this matter, and naturally made good tea politely, hosting these people.
Dou Qiongqiong was talking with the family members.
Perhaps worried about causing resentment among the family members, only Dou Qiongqiong was seen accompanying them for the time being.
As for the reporters invited by the family, they seemed to have been ‘politely’ invited by several hospital security guards to the adjacent reception room for tea.
Zhou Can directly walked in.
“It’s him, it’s him!”
The old lady suddenly stood up excitedly.
The family members’ eyes turned angry the moment they saw Zhou Can.
A middle-aged man clenched his fists and stood up, glaring at Zhou Can.
This man looked around forty-five or six, quite fat.
His beer belly looked like that of a pregnant woman about to give birth.
“I appreciate that you tried to save my child, but as a professional doctor, how could you break three of my child’s ribs? What were you doing?”
The man’s eyes were bloodshot as he asked angrily.
“You’ve got it wrong, got it wrong! He is the doctor who saved my grandson!”
The old lady hurriedly explained.
Dou Qiongqiong must have already revealed some information to the family.
The family already knew that there were two doctors who saved the child, one of whom played a major role. The diagnosis was correct, and the rescue method was effective, which ultimately saved their child.
The other doctor, due to a misdiagnosis, was the one who broke the child’s ribs.
Others might not recognize Zhou Can, but the old lady had a deep memory of him.
That day, it was this young doctor who saved her grandson when she was most desperate.
“This is Dr. Zhou Can, and it’s precisely because he promptly and decisively used the Heimlich maneuver that day that your child was snatched back from the hands of death.”
At the right moment, Dou Qiongqiong stood up and introduced him to the family.
The child’s father slapped himself.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I was too impulsive just now. I heard that due to our demands for justice, Dr. Zhou also suffered a lot of grievances, I’m really sorry.”
Hearing that he had mistaken the person, the child’s father felt even deeper remorse.
“That’s alright! I can understand your feelings.”
Zhou Can sincerely said.
There were five family members in total, three men and two women.
The main figure was definitely this man.
Zhou Can targeted him directly, preparing to openly and honestly work on persuading him.
“May I ask for your surname?”
“Spare the formality, my surname is Wu!”
No wonder he was clenching his fists, looking ready to fight. With a surname like Wu, could he not be forceful?
“Mr. Wu, hello, I’m actually just a junior resident doctor at Tu Ya Hospital.”
“What’s wrong with being a resident doctor? I think you are much more capable than some incompetent doctors. Without your intervention, my son might no longer be in this world,” Mr. Wu didn’t care about Zhou Can’s professional rank at all.
He only knew that it was Zhou Can who revived his son.
“I was present the whole time during the rescue. There’s some misunderstanding, and I would like to have a private conversation with you about it, is that alright?”
Zhou Can got straight to the point.
Mr. Wu hesitated for two seconds, but ultimately nodded and said, “Fine.”
“Let’s talk in the inner room for a bit.”
Zhou Can led Mr. Wu towards the inner room.
Dou Qiongqiong continued to accompany the other family members outside.
Mr. Wu voluntarily closed the door.
“Dr. Zhou, did your hospital force you to come to plead with me?”
The man didn’t ask this in front of Dou Qiongqiong outside but waited until they were inside the room and had closed the door to ask it.
Obviously, he already regarded Zhou Can as one of his own.
He must be very familiar with the many unofficial rules at his workplace.
“Thank you for your concern. There’s nothing that anyone can force me to do if I don’t want to. Even if it’s the hospital’s senior management.”
Zhou Can stated proudly.
He really did function this way.
Thus, when he said this, his expression was very natural, his pride and confidence clear on his face.
“Hehe, I didn’t expect Dr. Zhou to have such a personality! When I was young, I was also like this!”
Mr. Wu laughed.
The two having similar traits made him feel even more fondly towards Zhou Can.
“You can tell! Ordinary people wouldn’t dare to make a scene at a hospital.”
Zhou Can’s comment once again made him burst into laughter.
Having finished the pleasantries, Zhou Can straightened his expression and started to discuss serious matters.
“I know that what I’m about to say may sound like I’m making excuses for that responsible doctor, but I still need to say it. Working in our profession as doctors is very tough. Most people have a passionate commitment to fully treat patients. That day, sitting on the subway, the announcement called for medical staff to proceed to carriage three to assist a fainted child. Dr. Shangguan and two other colleagues, a female nurse and a female doctor, went without any hesitation.”
Zhou Can first recounted Dr. Shangguan’s eagerness to help.
“I also learned this from my mother. Those three were indeed the first doctors to arrive to save my son.”
Mr. Wu nodded affirming this.
“At that time, Dr. Shangguan asked how the child had fainted. The child’s grandmother said that he suddenly clutched the lower part of his neck and fell to the ground. Based on our professional judgment as doctors and your child’s symptoms at that time, a cardiac ailment seemed most likely. In addition, the sudden stopping of the heartbeat and breathing means there is only about four minutes of crucial resuscitation time. Dr. Shangguan had no time to think too much. He immediately performed CPR, medically speaking, this was the right decision. After pressing twice and seeing the child still unresponsive, he probably panicked and so increased the pressure…”
