Chapter 14 — When I Left The Consultation, The Whole Hospital Was Panic

People's Hospital No. 1 held a congress of all staff. Solemn hall. The air is so heavy that it makes it difficult to breathe. The director himself stood on the podium and spoke. Facing more than a thousand medical staff below. The manuscript in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. He cleared his throat. Then, using a serious and heavy tone, read the final investigation conclusion related to the incident:

"Doctor Lam So Ha received a malicious complaint."

“...After the investigation and verification process, the hospital confirmed that the complaint against the doctor of the So Ha Department of Surgery two months ago was an act of intentional fabrication, distortion and exaggeration of the truth by the complainant surnamed Trieu...”

“...The complainant attempted to use unjustified measures to interfere with the normal operating order of the hospital...”

“...The previous handling decision had serious errors in responsibilities and procedures....”

“...The hospital leadership is extremely saddened and ashamed by that...”

The whole hall was silent. No one made even a sound. The director continued reading.

“Based on the investigation results, the hospital decided:”

“First.”

“Publicly cancel all disciplinary decisions against comrade Lam So Ha.”

“Restore all honors, rights and regimes that were previously suspended.”

“At the same time, fully refund all bonuses that have been deducted.”

“Now I, as the director of People's Hospital No. 1…”

“On behalf of the entire hospital leadership..."

“I would like to send my most sincere apologies to comrade Lam So Ha.”

Speaking of this. The director suddenly stepped down from the podium. In the astonished eyes of the entire hall. He went straight to the front row. Stop in front of me. Then bow deeply. A ninety degree angle. No hesitation. The flash immediately flashed continuously. The sound of taking pictures echoed throughout the hall. Everyone was dumbfounded. A few seconds later. A round of applause rang out. Then it got bigger and bigger. Finally it turned into thunderous applause. Lasts endlessly. That sound of applause. Not just for me. But also for themselves. Because at this moment. Every doctor. Every nurse. Everyone feels like something has been lost for a long time. That is the sanctity of the profession. And the hope that justice still exists. The director returned to the podium to speak. Continue to announce further decisions.

“Relieve Vice Principal Vuong from all positions.”

"The case file has been transferred to the superior inspection agency for further processing."

The whole hall immediately stirred. But that's just the beginning.

“For Ms. Trieu's malicious slander and the serious damage caused to the hospital's reputation…”

“The hospital will reserve all rights to sue.”

“At the same time, I officially filed an application with the court.”

The sound of cold inhalation echoed everywhere. Sue powerful people? This was something almost no one dared to think about before. But the next decision was truly shocking.

“From today.”

“The hospital officially established the Medical Ethics Supervision and Complaint Handling Committee.”

“The Committee includes representatives of the internal Disciplinary Committee, the Medical Affairs Department and external independent legal experts.”

“Responsible for handling all future medical disputes according to the principles of independence and fairness.”

“I would like to officially nominate.”

“At the same time, we respectfully invite Dr. Lam So Ha to become the first expert member of the Committee.”

The entire hall completely exploded. Apologize publicly. Dismissed Deputy Director. File a lawsuit against influential people. Establish an independent monitoring agency. Invite the person who has been punished to participate in the administration. Each decision is like a bomb exploding among the city's medical community. Things like that... have never appeared in the history of the First People's Hospital. I sat in the front row. Facing countless eyes focused on me. Faced with endless applause. His face remained calm. Because I know. I won. But this is not the victory of an individual. It's not even a victory of simple revenge. This is a victory of principle. It's a powerful blow to a once rigid system. And always bow before power. Sit next to me. Director Tran quietly looked over. The eyes are extremely complicated. There is respect. There was also a feeling of relief as if a heavy rock had been lifted from my heart. After hearing the news. Lady Trieu almost went crazy. She and her husband mobilized all their resources and connections. Want to shut down the media. Want to put pressure on the court. Even threatening to withdraw all investment capital from projects in the city. But this time. She failed.
