Neither Nangong Jin nor Gu Changge mentioned the upsetting matter.
Tonight, they took the kids out for barbecue.
They didn't ask the waiters to grill for them; they did it themselves.
Nangong Jin: "Son, is the barbecue delicious?"
Rui Rui nodded and said, "Delicious!"
"Put some meat on your mom's plate."
Rui Rui was very good; she listened to her father and gave the meat from her plate to her mother.
"Dad's grilled beef is almost ready, I'll share some with you, okay? He's also grilling some prawns, they smell amazing!"
"Thank you, Dad! I love grilled shrimp!"
"We're men, we should always give way to Mom, you know?"
"Um!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Changge smiled faintly.
She made soup for the father and son and also gave them juice.
As long as she can be with her son and see him so happy, she has no regrets.
Let her rest for a few days so she can spend more time with her son, which is good!
Even if the worst happens, she is not afraid; she is prepared for it.
If I can save the patient's life, I can live with a clear conscience.
Life may have some regrets, but that's okay.
...
After finishing the barbecue, Nangong Jin paid the bill.
He was holding his son in his arms, and holding Gu Changge's hand with his other hand.
Gu Changge was stunned, staring blankly at Nangong Jin.
She tried to shake off Nangong Jin's hand, but he held it tightly.
"Mom, Dad said we're going to see a movie."
Gu Changge smiled faintly, "I understand."
"I really enjoy watching movies."
"You want some popcorn, don't you?"
"Dad said he'd buy me popcorn and Coke, so our family can be happy!"
A family?
In an instant, Gu Changge looked at Nangong Jin.
Just then, Nangong Jin was also staring at her.
However, neither of them spoke.
Nangong Jin still held her hand.
******
The patient was still asleep the next morning.
The patient's family members started arguing even louder.
The patient's family even put up a banner at the hospital entrance, demanding that the hospital pay with its life.
The hospital called the police about the incident to prevent the patient's family from acting irrationally.
Regarding this complaint, the higher authorities also dispatched an expert team to investigate.
...
In the afternoon, Gu Changge and Nangong Jin both returned to the hospital.
Right at the hospital entrance, the patient's family members were very arrogant and tried to hit Gu Changge.
"Young lady, why are you hiding? My father is still unconscious. You must take responsibility. If he dies, you will have to pay with your life."
Nangong Jin protected Gu Changge and confronted the patient's son, saying, "The police are on the scene, don't move. The investigation team is investigating, and the truth will be announced later. We are all doctors, and our handling of the situation was correct."
"You bastard! You're an accomplice, I'll beat you up too!"
The police officers stopped the patient's family members and advised them, "Don't do anything, stand still, or we'll take you to the police station."
Nangong Jin protected Gu Changge and went into the hospital first.
The patient's family members were still hurling insults at the door.
Nangong Jin frowned.
If the police hadn't been there, he would have wanted to beat someone up too.
When the patient had the accident, there was no one around.
That evening, the family was contacted, but there was no response.
I rushed over in the morning.
All they ever talk about is money; they're obviously not interested in whether their patients live or die!
It's so sad to have a son like that!
Presumably, what the patient's family really wants is money, and they are using this as an excuse to cause trouble.
...
Gu Changge and Nangong Jin were interrogated in separate conference rooms.
Based on professional ethics and medical experience, Nangong Jin told the truth.
"When the patient was brought to the emergency department, his condition was already very bad; he had fallen into a coma. After Dr. Gu and I diagnosed him, we were certain that it was a ruptured aortic aneurysm."
When the patient was rushed into the operating room, his blood pressure was already dropping and his pupils were dilating, so I suggested that Dr. Gu perform surgery on the patient immediately.
At that time, Dr. Gu had already called the department head for instructions. The department head instructed that doctors from other hospitals were not in a position to intervene, but they could provide support if the situation became urgent, until he returned to handle it.
Finally, the patient couldn't wait any longer; if it had been another 10 minutes, he might not have survived. So, setting aside my professional identity, I exercised my right as a doctor to save lives and took it upon myself to perform the surgery.
I am a thoracic surgeon and I am qualified to perform this surgery. Dr. Gu is only a resident physician and she is not yet capable of performing major surgeries on her own. Therefore, I will be the chief surgeon and she will be the assistant.
The surgery lasted 15 minutes before the department head arrived in the operating room. The department head witnessed the patient experiencing severe bleeding.
"Dr. Nangong, could you tell us exactly how much bleeding the patient had at the time?"
"The blood loss was nearly 3,000 milliliters, almost the same as the total blood volume of a normal person. During the entire operation, we transfused the patient with the blood of three normal people."
The investigation team took careful notes.
"Thank you, Dr. Nangong, for cooperating with our investigation. The entire surgery is documented, and we will carefully review it."
...
After leaving the hospital, Nangong Jin received the investigation materials from the patient's family.
He also showed it to Gu Changge.
"No wonder we couldn't get in touch with the patient's son that night; he was gambling. The patient's son has a gambling addiction and owes a lot of money. He was probably trying to extort money from him. That morning, it was his wife who came, so she was understanding. Later, probably worried about not having enough money to pay the medical bills, his wife shut up."
"Leaving an elderly person out in the middle of the night is itself unfilial."
"I guess the old man was on his way to find his son to go home, but he had an accident on the way. Fortunately, a kind person passed by and immediately called for an ambulance. He was also fortunate to have met us, which saved his life. He should wake up tonight or tomorrow."
"He's awake now. I imagine the old man is heartbroken. He's helpless to have such an unfilial son."
“If they do have financial problems and cannot afford large medical expenses, we can help them with crowdfunding. However, they must also be held accountable for their greed.”
What are you planning to do?
"Put this news online and use public opinion to suppress him, forcing him to admit his greed and ill intentions. As long as he admits his mistake, I can help him with crowdfunding to get through this difficult period. I think if that old man wakes up and finds out that his son is trying to extort money, he won't agree to it."
After thinking for a moment, Gu Changge nodded.
"Let's do it this way. Let's help them if we can. Nangong Jin, thank you!"
"You're welcome, it was nothing."
Nangong Jin kept looking at her, but Gu Changge lowered her eyes and looked at the scenery outside the car.
"It's getting late, let's pick up our son from school."
"After you finish eating, go for a walk to clear your head, and you won't keep thinking about this. We did a good deed, and we'll be rewarded."
"I know, I won't overthink it."
