Chapter 13 — My husband stole my research results and gave them to his juniors

People from the Provincial Pain Management Center arrived very quickly. The leader is Professor Tan. He is nearly sixty years old, his hair is already gray, and his body is still windy because he has just come from another place in a hurry. But as soon as he entered the hallway, his eyes stopped on me.

“Doctor Ha.”

“The original data set you sent to the center half a month ago, our expert panel has reviewed it.”

“The process design is very strict, the risk control branches are also complete.”

“If done correctly according to her original version...”

“Then an elementary incident like today could not have happened.”

That sentence... Like a light. Looking straight at the most crucial point of the entire incident. Tuong Van Chu's face immediately became extremely ugly. Diep Thu also stopped crying. Only panic remained in his eyes. The director immediately stepped up.

“Professor Qin.”

“Can you confirm ownership of the original version?”

Professor Tan nodded. He signaled his assistant to open the laptop he was carrying.

“This is the document package that Dr. Ha sent to the center's project mailbox.”

“Includes original design, Ethics Committee response sheet, post-treatment follow-up form, data dictionary and revision history explanation.”

“Submission time was half a month ago.”

“The Hash value of the entire file has been recorded in the center's system.”

He raised his head and looked at everyone.

“Since that time…”

“Any subsequent revisions cannot change this time series.”

I stood next to it. No profit at all. Just quietly placed my medical record book on the table.

“In here are all the corresponding handwritten notes.”

“The electronic version and the handwritten version can be compared and verified with each other.”

Professor Tan flipped through a few pages. The more he watched, the darker his expression became.

“These contraindications…”

“It is the final frontier to protect patients.”

“Who deleted them…”

“Then that person must be responsible.”

Two policemen began taking notes. The Department of Health staff turned to Director Luong.

“Please provide the version of the protocol that is being used clinically.”

Director Luong immediately handed over the documents. Two sets of documents are placed next to each other. One record:

'Patients with abnormal kidney function should defer the full procedure.'

The remaining copy reads:

'Slightly fluctuating kidney function can still use the usual procedure.'

The difference... Blinding like a knife wound. The patient's family members are also invited. He stared at the two documents. The blue veins on the back of his hand appeared.

“So is it…”

“Something happened to my mother…”

“Is it because they erased this warning?”

No one answered immediately. The silence was enough to say it all. I looked at him.

“We still have to wait for the medical assessment and full investigation results.”

“But you have the right to know—”

“How each edit went.”

The man gritted his teeth. Then nodded.

“I will follow this case to the end.”

Tuong Van Chu suddenly spoke up.

“Professor Qin.”

“You are an expert from another hospital.”

"Can't just listen to one side of Ha Thanh Hoa."

Professor Qin looked at him.

“What I saw…”

“It's data.”

“But not her words.”

Tuong Van Chu's throat was blocked. Your face is pale. Professor Tan continued speaking.

“Furthermore, in the previous preliminary appraisal here...”

“The center once received from your hospital a very similar procedure.”

“The person in charge is Diep Thu.”

“But the core model almost completely matches Dr. Ha's documents.”

“We then requested additional evidence of the original data.”

“But you hospital side…”

“To date there has been no response.”

The dean immediately turned to Tuong Van Chu.

“This…”

“Why didn't you report?”

Tuong Van Chu's throat moved slightly.

“Just a normal academic exchange.”

Professor Tan replied coldly.

“When it comes to ownership of research results…”

“It's no longer a normal academic exchange.”

Diep Thu suddenly covered her face.

“I didn't know the center had also seen it.”

“Really... I don't know.”

I calmly looked at her.

“That's because you didn't know someone outside was watching.”

“That's why you dare to erase my name.”

That one sentence... It was like nailing Diep Thu right on the spot. The two policemen began taking statements one after another. Very quickly... Diep Thu completely collapsed. She handed over the entire conversation history on the phone, the recorder and a copy of the approval file. While crying, she said:

“Director Chiang said…”

“Just need you to be considered for promotion.”

“In the future I will be able to join his research group.”

“He also said…”

“Ha Thanh Hoa has been married to him for so long.”

“I definitely won't tear my face off with you.”

“He also said…”

“If something happens, just let her come back and sign additional documents.”

With each sentence spoken... Tuong Van Chu's face became a little darker. Finally... He couldn't hold it in anymore.
