Chapter 10 — After I finished my shift on time, the whole hospital was in chaos

A piece of evidence that made him unable to brush off the relationship. My eyes stopped on the list of eighteen patients who had been implanted with brand B stents. A plan gradually appeared in my mind. Very risky. But worth a try. I picked up the phone. Call patient number 12. The young man just became a father. The bell rang a few times and then connected.

“Hello, is it Tieu Truong?”

“I'm Doctor Hua.”

“We have some more detailed information regarding your post-surgery complications.”

I stopped for a moment. Then continue talking.

“I think…”

“You and your family will really want to know.”

I arranged to meet Tieu Truong and his wife at a coffee shop near the hospital. Just sat down. I pushed a folder towards them. Inside is all public information related to brand B heart stents. Including technical errors. Clinical trials fail. The same risk warnings have been published by the drug management agency.

“What do these things mean?”

The person who spoke was Tieu Truong's wife. A very gentle and polite girl. But now her face was pale.

“The meaning is very simple.”

I calmly replied.

"The type of stent implanted in Tieu Truong's body is most likely this product."

The sentence just ended. The atmosphere in the cafe immediately froze. For them. It was like a thunderclap in a clear sky.

“No way!”

Tieu Truong stood up. The voice was full of excitement.

“The surgical consent form clearly states that the stent is imported brand A!”

“Is that so?”

I took another set of documents. Place it in front of them. That is a copy of medical supplies usage records. It clearly states: Heart stent brand B. Accompanied by product code and serial number.

“This…”

“What is this?!”

Tieu Truong's whole body began to tremble.

“Did the hospital lie to us?”

“Not a hospital.”

I shook my head.

“Some individuals take advantage of their positions to swap equipment for personal gain.”

Tieu Truong clenched his fists.

“Who did this?”

“I suspect that person is Trieu Hoanh Vien.”

“Head of the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery.”

I recounted everything I had investigated. No additions. No exaggeration. Just present the facts. When I finished speaking. The whole table fell silent. Tieu Truong and his wife sat dumbfounded. It's like the soul has just been extracted from the body. A long time later. Tieu Truong's wife suddenly covered her face with her hands. Burst into tears.

“What should we do…”

“What to do now…”

“We're just normal people.”

“How can we compete with them…”

Despair is like the tide. Quickly engulfing the young couple. I let her cry for a while. Then he spoke softly.

“You do not fight alone.”

The two of them raised their heads at the same time.

“Including Tieu Truong.”

“There are seventeen other patients who are also victims.”

“I will help everyone communicate with each other.”

“If many people stand up together, the strength will be different.”

“In addition, I will also invite the best lawyer to assist.”

“All costs.”

“I agree.”

Two people looked at me. Eyes full of surprise.

“Doctor Hua…”

“Why are you helping us?”

I was silent for a few seconds. Then answer.

“Because I'm a doctor.”

“I cannot stand by and watch my patients being turned into money-making tools for others.”

“More It is unacceptable that someone tarnishes the word 'doctor'.”

Light gradually appeared in their eyes. Is the light of hope.

“We listen to you.”

Tieu Truong clenched his fists. Steadfast voice.

“We will follow you to the end.”

The days that followed. I contacted the remaining seventeen victims or their family members in turn. Everything went better than I thought. When the evidence is placed before them. Outrage and fear caused strangers to quickly unite. An alliance of eighteen families was quietly formed. Through Ly Triet. I found a very famous lawyer specializing in medical disputes. Lawyer Vuong. After listening, I explained the whole story. Read all documents and evidence. He only said one sentence.

“This lawsuit.”

“We will definitely win.”

He helped us complete the petition. Develop a detailed legal strategy. But first step. No need to file a petition in court. It's about bringing things to light. Use pressure from public opinion. Force the hospital. Force Zhu Haisheng. Must face the consequences. Lawyer Vuong contacted an investigative press agency with great influence in the country. The other side seemed extremely interested in the incident. Even sent a key reporter secretly to our city. I gave all the evidence to him.
