Chapter 10 — The Patient I Saved Twice

I took a deep breath.

“So... The Disciplinary Inspection Committee will get involved?”

“The preliminary examination file has already been opened.”

“But we need your cooperation.”

I have no hesitation.

“Just say it.”

"The first."

“All original documents in your possession must be handed over for storage.”

“My friend who works at the city's Second Hospital is named Lam Loi.”

“And a friend at the county hospital helped her look up the records.”

“If they agree, it is best to provide a written statement.”

“The original copy of Uncle Liu's testimony also needs to be submitted.”

I quickly memorized each thing.

“I still keep Uncle Liu's original copy.”

“I will contact Lam Loi over there.”

“My friend at the county hospital will also ask.”

Ha Dao replied. Then suddenly it slowed down.

“There's one more thing.”

“You say it.”

“During the investigation.”

“You still have to go to work normally.”

“Don't reveal anything.”

“Don't tell anyone.”

“Don't do anything out of the ordinary.”

“Especially, don't let Qian Guo Dong realize that something is wrong.”

I understood immediately.

“I know what to do.”

“There's one more person.”

Ha Dao's voice is more serious.

“Director Co.”

“Even though he helped you a lot.”

“But from now on, don't reveal any more new developments to him.”

I stopped.

“You doubt him?”

“We don't doubt him.”

“It's just that the less people know, the safer it is.”

“Understood.”

After hanging up. I sat quietly on the edge of the bed for a long time. Things are finally starting to move forward. But strangely... I didn't feel any relief. There is also no feeling of gloating. Just feels heavy. Like carrying a rock on your back. Before, that rock crushed me to the point of suffocation. It's still there now. It's just that I changed to a different position to carry it. The next morning. I still went to the hospital as usual. Write medical records. Receiving patients. There is no difference. In the hallway, I happened to meet Tien Quoc Dong. He just stepped out of the elevator. I nodded in greeting. He also nodded in response. His eyes just glanced at me normally. There was no doubt. He doesn't know yet. And I won't let him know either. I was eating in the restaurant when Ms. Trieu brought a tray of food and sat across from me.

“My face has gotten a lot better these days.”

“Last time, I looked like I lost my soul.”

“No one in the entire department dares to take the initiative to talk.”

I bowed my head to eat.

“It's okay now.”

“It's over.”

Ms. Trieu looked around. Confirmed that no one noticed. Then lower your voice.

“Ah yes.”

“There's something I want to tell you.”

I raised my head.

“What?”

“Last week, the Department of Orthopedics had another complaint.”

The chopsticks in my hand stopped.

“Tieu Tran.”

“That young doctor just entered the hospital last year.”

I immediately asked:

“Complaint for what reason?”

“Just like you.”

“The patient said the doctor did not fully explain the risks before surgery.”

“After knee surgery, I'm still in pain.”

“Now demand compensation.”

My heart started beating fast.

"How much?"

“Heard…”

“About 150,000 yuan.”

I tightened my chopsticks.

“When was the complaint filed?”

Ms. Trieu thought for a moment.

“Apparently it was two days before surgery.”

"Tieu Tran was so angry that he hit the table."

“He said the surgery hasn't even started yet and the complaint has already been filed.”

Two days before surgery. I felt like my blood was freezing. Again same trick. Same formula. Not a single glass wrong.

“What is the patient's name?”

“I don't know the name.”

"If you want to know, ask Tieu Tran directly."

I put down my chopsticks. I can't eat rice anymore. Take the food tray to empty and then return to work. That afternoon. After finishing the last examination. I went straight to the Orthopedics Department. Tieu Tran's full name is Tran Vi. Twenty-seven years old. Graduated from graduate school just over a year ago. Tall and thin person. Gentle personality. When I entered the office. He is sitting in front of the computer. His eyes stared blankly at the screen. As if I lost all my strength. Hear the call. He turned his head. The moment you see the other person's face clearly. I stopped. His eyes were red. Obviously just cried. I tapped lightly on the table.

“I heard you got a complaint?”

He stopped. Lips trembled slightly. After a moment, he choked up and replied:

“Miss To…”

“You really didn't do anything wrong.”

“Surgery commitment paper fully signed.”

“The pre-operative discussion minutes are also available.”

“I don't understand why it turned out like this.”

Look at his appearance. I felt like I saw myself half a year ago. Confused. And helpless. I took a deep breath.

“That patient…”

“Is there a lawyer to assist?”

Tran Vi raised his head.

“What do you know?”

I continue to ask:

“Is that lawyer's surname Phuong?”

His eyes immediately changed. From surprise to shock.

"Right!"

“Phuong Thanh!”

"When he came to the Medical Affairs Department to negotiate, I was also present."
