Chapter 13 — When I Left The Consultation, The Whole Hospital Was Panic

One week later. Director Tran appeared in my office again. He looked even more haggard than before. The dark circles under my eyes were so dark that they looked like they were painted in ink. He placed a carefully bound document on my desk. The hand holding the file trembled slightly.

“This is the initial investigation report.”

I take it. Turn the pages one by one. In the report. The entire process of Lady Trieu deliberately distorting the truth has been clearly recorded. How she exaggerated her son's condition. Intentionally misrepresented the conversation between me and her. Turn my technical objection into:

“Cold and emotionless.”

“Disregard for patient life.”

“Lack of responsibility towards patients.”

But what makes people even more surprising is... The investigation team also found some indirect evidence. This evidence all points in the same direction. Lady Trieu used to work as a Deputy General Director in her husband's company. Conducted "lobbying" with Vice Principal Vuong - who was in charge of disciplinary work at that time. Although there is no proof of direct transfer. But the private meetings between the other Deputy Director General and Deputy Director Vuong. Along with Deputy Director Vuong's unusually tough attitude in handling my case. Enough to say a lot of things. Last page of the report. Attach an important recording. The person who provided the recording is a nurse who used to work in the VIP area. Because she was afraid of retaliation, she didn't dare to stand up all this time. Until this time. After receiving assurances many times from director Tran. She was brave enough to hand over the secret recording she kept all this time. In the recording. Lady Trieu's sour, defiant and threatening voice rang out extremely clearly. The complete opposite of my calmness and restraint at that time. It was clear as day. I read the entire report. His face remained calm. But the tips of my fingers that were a little pale from squeezing the file tightly unintentionally revealed the undercurrents in my heart. I closed the document. Place gently on the table. Then he raised his head and looked at Director Tran. Cold eyes.

“This is just the beginning.”

Director Tran wiped the sweat from his forehead. Hoarse voice.

“I have submitted this entire report and the recording to the director and the Disciplinary Inspection Committee of the city health system.”

“Principal Vuong is very angry.”

“The disciplinary team also attaches special importance to this case.”

“They all understand.”

“If not handled well.”

“Once the story is exposed…”

“It will be the biggest scandal since the day the First People's Hospital was established.”

News spreads at breakneck speed. In just a few days. The whole hospital was shocked. People who were prejudiced against me. I used to think I was too rigid. Too extreme. At this moment, everyone felt surprised and embarrassed. People who used to laugh at me:

“Because of fifty thousand yuan, I lost my future.”

Now he doesn't even dare to look me in the eye. Every time they meet, they proactively stay out of the way. Some doctors and nurses witnessed the incident that year with their own eyes. But because of pressure, I did not dare to speak up. At this time, they also stood up one after another. Provide additional testimony and evidence to the investigation team. Just for a short time. My image in the hospital is complete completely reversed. From someone who is considered:

“The one who doesn't know anything.”

“A thorn in the leader's side.”

“Victims persistently defend principles.”

And Lady Trieu. Then it becomes a symbol of oppression. The hospital's Internal Inspection Committee officially established an investigation file. Deputy Director Vuong was suspended to facilitate the investigation. Lady Trieu's side also quickly realized that the situation was getting out of control. Start mobilizing relationships. Find every way to put pressure. Ask the hospital to stop the investigation.

“Protect hospital reputation.”

But this time. They miscalculated. Chairman Tran. The former was always good at compromise. Always put the "big picture" first. This time, he showed unprecedented toughness. He resisted all pressure. Even using some relationships that were always hidden before. Cards that he had never dared to use were easy to use. To counterattack fiercely. Because he understands better than anyone. Your son was brought back from death's door by me. Which is my condition. That is his final limit. I am the biggest "big picture" in his eyes. Not long after. The person in charge of the city's Discipline Inspection Committee also personally came to see me. He was very polite. Proactively apologize for what I had to endure. At the same time hopefully I can:

“Raise it high and strike softly.”

Accept the hospital's internal handling and compensation plan. Don't make things too big. I looked at the man with a dignified voice in front of me. Then calmly state your final request.

“I don't need any monetary compensation.”

“What I want is for the hospital to really learn lessons from this incident.”

“I want to take this as an opportunity to build a fair, transparent and effective complaint handling and medical ethics monitoring mechanism.”

“I want to make sure.”

“There won't be any more doctors like me in the future.”

“Being treated unfairly just for persistently defending my professional ethics.”

“I don't need temporary countermeasures.”

“There is no need to cure a headache, treat a footache, cure a footache.”

“What I want…”

“It is necessary to completely treat this disease.”

My words made the other leader extremely headache. But at the same time. It also made him and the people behind him really understand. I will not compromise. You also cannot use money to bribe. Want to settle with me. There are only two options. Or meet all my requirements. Carry out a radical reform from within. Wait for me to reveal all the evidence to the media. Leaving the entire health system facing an unprecedented crisis of confidence. There is no other choice.
