Chapter 262 I said I'd fire you
The woman gripped the doctor's thigh tightly; she was extremely agitated, and the doctor tried to break free several times but failed.
The nurses standing nearby wanted to come over and help at the doctor's signal.
But this woman seemed to have gone mad; no matter who came, it was no use, and she just kept kneeling on the ground.
Du Ruoxia stood still, quietly watching her.
She called over a nurse and asked about the situation in detail.
It turns out that her child broke his spine while climbing a tree to raid a bird's nest and has now been brought to the hospital for emergency treatment.
His spinal injury was quite severe. Doctors at the military hospital examined him one by one, but in the end, none of them could do anything about it.
When the doctor told her the result, the woman couldn't accept it, so she kept crying and making a scene at the door of the emergency room.
I heard that this child is usually quite obedient and often helps with housework.
He climbed the tree because his younger sister, who had polio, wanted to steal the bird's nest.
The nurse sighed as she spoke, also feeling very sorry.
Du Ruoxia observed from a distance for a while. The woman was indeed crying sadly and sincerely, and it seemed that she cared a lot about this son.
What mother could accept something like this happening?
She knew it was useless, but she still cried and screamed like a madwoman, just wanting to give her child a chance to live.
There's already a child with polio in the family. How could the family accept having another disabled child?
"Have they paid all their medical bills?"
Du Ruoxia watched for a while and then asked a question. The nurse quickly nodded.
"This family values their son very much; they've paid all the medical bills."
"Okay, you go ahead and get busy, I'll go take a look."
Seeing their sincere attitude and genuine concern for the child, Du Ruoxia decided to go and check on the child's condition herself.
"Dr. Li, what's going on in the emergency room?"
Du Ruoxia walked up to the man whose leg was being hugged and naturally asked about the situation.
Dr. Li was delayed by surgery and did not witness the events leading up to the punishment of Director Li.
He was unaware of Du Ruoxia's identity and power, and when Du Ruoxia naturally inquired about the situation, he immediately felt insulted.
"Who are you? When did it become anyone's place to interfere in our hospital's affairs?"
Du Ruoxia had just felt sorry for Dr. Li being pestered, but now, seeing his attitude, she realized that he himself had a problem.
Putting aside his medical skills, his medical ethics are not very good.
Du Ruoxia frowned, but before she could speak, a nurse who knew the inside story stepped forward.
"Dr. Li, this is our hospital's new director, Director Du Ruoxia. Please be polite to her."
The nurse's voice was urgent, and she slightly opened her arms, her intention to protect Du Ruoxia was very clear.
At the same time, she kept giving Dr. Li meaningful glances, hinting that he should watch his words.
Dr. Li remained unmoved and continued to be extremely arrogant.
"Such a young girl as the hospital director? If she's the director of our hospital, then I'm a division commander in the military region!"
"Nurse Wang, even if you're going to lie and protect a stranger, you should at least come up with a plausible reason, right?"
Dr. Li snorted coldly, clearly not believing Nurse Wang's explanation.
"Dr. Li, can't you have any conscience? I was clearly trying to help you, and you're turning around and blaming me! I'm so angry!"
Nurse Wang was furious, feeling that Dr. Li was an ingrate who took her kindness for granted.
"I don't see how you're helping me. If you're going to lie, at least come up with a better excuse. I won't believe you if you keep telling me this kind of nonsense."
Dr. Li maintained the same attitude as before, which angered the nurse so much that she turned and left.
Du Ruoxia watched them argue coldly, knowing full well that Nurse Wang was helping Dr. Li.
However, this Dr. Li is indeed a bit ungrateful.
"Dr. Li, what Nurse Wang said is true. I am the new director, Du Ruoxia. The child's condition is urgent. Please tell me the details quickly."
Now is not the time to argue. As a doctor, Du Ruoxia's first reaction is to treat patients and save lives.
Although Dr. Li's attitude was bad and his medical ethics were questionable, at least he didn't kick away the woman kneeling on the ground.
This shows that Dr. Li's character is not inherently bad.
Perhaps if we give him some time and opportunity, we can still salvage the situation.
"An outsider wants to interfere in our hospital's affairs? Just because I ask you to tell me about my child's condition, does that mean I have to?"
"Some things are best left unsaid once. Don't keep trying to lie to people. I'm not that easily fooled."
Dr. Li remained self-righteous, and Du Ruoxia was starting to get impatient.
"Move aside, I don't want to waste my breath on you, I'm going to check on the child right now."
Du Ruoxia was about to avoid him and move forward, but unexpectedly, Dr. Li blocked her way and refused to let her pass.
Even after Du Ruoxia revealed her identity, Dr. Li still chose to stop her.
Du Ruoxia didn't know, but she didn't trust anyone else, except for her.
Du Ruoxia took out her work ID from her pocket and threw it directly in front of Dr. Li.
"Regardless of whether I am the hospital director or not, I am the Honorary Military Doctor, and my medical skills are definitely superior to yours."
"If you can't handle the children's conditions in the emergency room right now, I'll go help out. You won't have any complaints then, right?"
Du Ruoxia just took office today, and her work permit hasn't been processed yet. Plus, there's no official notification from above, so it's understandable that Dr. Li doesn't believe her.
Du Ruoxia didn't want to argue with him about these details; she simply showed him her work ID to prove her abilities.
Unexpectedly, Dr. Li didn't even glance at it and threw her work ID on the ground.
"So what if he's an honorary military doctor? What does that have to do with our hospital?"
"These are patients treated at our hospital. Whether our doctors can cure them or not is none of your business as an outsider!"
Whether your medical skills are good or bad is none of our business. What are you pretending for in front of me?
Du Ruoxia stepped forward and walked up to Dr. Li.
She picked up his work badge from his chest and looked at it carefully.
"Li Zhihai, right? You've been fired. Go to the finance office now to settle your wages."
"Hospitals are places to serve the people, not places for you to show off. You may be a doctor, which is great, but you can't look down on others!"
Du Ruoxia didn't want to waste words with him and directly exercised her authority as dean.
Some people just can't be too polite to, otherwise they'll keep taking advantage of you.
"Who do you think you are? You think you can just fire me like that?"
Dr. Li was shocked and immediately jumped up and down.
"Just because I'm the hospital director, if I say I'm going to fire you, I mean I'm going to fire you!"
Du Ruoxia's voice was cold, and Dr. Li sensed something was wrong.
"You say you are who you are, then so be it? Show me the proof if you dare!"
Dr. Li had closed himself off from a dead end; even though he realized something was wrong, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and go on.
