Jiang Hua had been eating the nutritious meals prepared by the Gu family's housekeeper, so there shouldn't be any problems, unless the maid didn't want to continue working for the Gu family, and the maid had no motive. However, she told the truth about everything. Later, remembering the soup she drank yesterday, she looked up at the doctor and said, "I also drank soup. The nurse told me it was nourishing, probably a pregnancy-stabilizing medicine prescribed by the hospital."
She had also drunk it when she was first admitted to the hospital.
To her surprise, the doctor's expression suddenly changed, and she was told to think carefully about whether it was indeed a hospital medication for preventing miscarriage.
"Nurse Xiao Gao brought it over. I can taste the Chinese medicine flavor in the soup. Isn't this a prescription from the hospital?" Jiang Hua was a little puzzled as to why the attending physician's expression was so strange.
The doctor's heart sank. He had a bad feeling. This matter concerned the hospital's reputation, and Gu Yiming was someone he couldn't afford to offend. He was considering where to begin.
For a moment, I was overwhelmed with mixed feelings and stood there stunned.
Seeing the doctor's expression, Jiang Hua became even more nervous. She rubbed her hands together and asked somewhat awkwardly, "Could it be that the food I ate is incompatible? The nurse said it's nothing. She has checked my meals and they are neither too nourishing nor too nutritious."
The doctor took a deep breath, knowing he couldn't bluff; she had a strong backer. His face paled slightly, and he carefully said, "That pregnancy-preserving herbal medicine wasn't prescribed by me at all."
He has records there, and the prescriptions he writes every day are recorded very clearly. There are also backups on his computer, so there won't be any mistakes. He had specially organized the records after the emergency treatment, and since he had the information on hand, he quickly handed it to Jiang Hua to look at.
Jiang Hua's expression was straightforward, clearly showing her disbelief. The nurse wouldn't lie to her, and there was no need for her to.
However, when she put down her medical record, she was speechless at the sight of the doctor's astronomical scribbles on it. She couldn't understand a word of it.
Doctors in Chinese hospitals are like this, probably to save time seeing patients; almost every doctor's handwriting is difficult to decipher.
Seeing her blank expression, the doctor was puzzled. After a few seconds, he suddenly understood. He turned to the place with her name on it and carefully explained to her: "Look, I gave you the prescription two days ago. I did prescribe a nourishing formula that day, but seeing that you had recovered almost completely, the dosage was not large. However, after that day, I only gave you some nutritional supplements regularly and did not arrange any tonics."
Fearing she wouldn't believe him, the doctor deliberately turned his laptop over, which also had clear records on it, even clearer than those written in a notebook, making it easy to understand at a glance. Jiang Hua was still confused and murmured softly, "But the nurse gave me a nourishing soup this morning, and it tasted like Chinese medicine. I even asked her what the ingredients were, and she said it was a tonic soup to help with pregnancy."
The doctor sighed, fearing that Jiang Hua's suspicions would lead to legal trouble for him, especially since the matter had nothing to do with him. He immediately decided to confront the nurse, worried that she might be acting on her own initiative to curry favor with Jiang Hua, only to make him take the blame. For the sake of the hospital's reputation, and more importantly, for his duty as a doctor, he needed to find out the reason.
"It was Xiao Gao, who has been in charge of my ward, who gave me the soup."
Upon hearing Jiang Hua's words, the doctor hurriedly asked her, "Is there any soup left? Let me check."
Jiang Hua disliked the bland taste, and there was only a little left, but it was still about half a bowl. The doctor quickly leaned over to smell it, and even took a small sip, smacking his lips as if savoring the taste. Then he took another sip, and this time his expression changed. He immediately called over a colleague, an old doctor who was well-versed in traditional Chinese medicine. After tasting it, the doctor suddenly realized, "It tastes like safflower."
When others heard the word "safflower," they turned pale. Only Jiang Hua was completely baffled. After listening to the attending physician's sweaty explanation, she clutched the blanket tightly, unable to understand why the nurse would want to harm him.
The doctors looked at each other, not wanting such a thing to happen in the hospital. It would not only damage the hospital's reputation but also offend Gu Yiming, putting their jobs at risk. They were truly ruined by that little nurse.
With everyone present as witnesses, Jiang Hua's doctor accessed the surveillance footage from two hours prior to the incident.
Everyone held their breath, and when they saw Xiao Gao's figure appear on the screen, no one made a sound. They stared at the screen quietly. The white lunchbox in Xiao Gao's hand was very eye-catching and could be seen immediately. When she entered the ward, she could not be found on the surveillance camera and disappeared.
The doctors quickly summoned the head of the obstetrics and gynecology department, who was also the vice president of the hospital. After discussing the matter, they called the nurses over.
The vice president looked at the nurse with a serious expression and said in an authoritative voice, "Xiao Gao, when you tell me, whether it's the pregnancy-preserving medicine or the pregnancy-preserving soup, you must tell me who gave it to you. You can't lie."
The young nurse was completely bewildered, but it was the first time she had been surrounded by so many doctors and leaders. She swallowed hard and could only apologize to Jiang Hua's junior high school classmates. She told them everything she knew and then looked at Jiang Hua: "They said they were Miss Jiang's classmates, and even brought out photos. They not only knew Miss Jiang's name but also had clear photos, so I believed them. They kept saying they wanted to make amends and beg Miss Jiang's forgiveness, asking me to give the tonic soup to Miss Jiang."
"Foolish! You believe everything people say. The problem lies with the 'medicinal' soup." The vice president scolded Xiao Gao sternly, then apologized to Jiang Hua, "Ms. Jiang, please don't mind. We will fire this person immediately. In addition, the hospital will strengthen security and will not allow any random people to enter. As for the two people who tried to harm you, we will call the police and hand them over to them."
Seeing that she was about to lose her job and that the police might confront her, the nurse turned pale with fright and pleaded with Jiang Hua, "I'm so sorry, Ms. Jiang, I didn't mean to. I just wanted to help you repair your relationship with your classmates. I never expected them to have such malicious intentions."
Jiang Hua was still processing these words. She felt sympathy for the nurse, but she knew that mistakes had to be taken responsibility for. Because of the nurse's mistake, she almost lost her baby. The decision to fire her was made by the hospital, and she couldn't do anything about it.
However, she dared not continue staying in a hospital with such poor security measures. Thinking back to Gu Yiming's suggestion, she felt that she had been too insistent on her own opinion.
When Gu Yiming was injured, he repeatedly asked to switch to a private hospital, which was exorbitantly expensive but better than public hospitals in every way. However, she thought she wouldn't be staying there for long and didn't want the hassle, so she rejected his suggestion.
Jiang Hua looked at the vice president and stated her opinion: "I still think we should transfer the patient to another hospital. Although your hospital has a lot of staff, it is inevitable that there will be some gaps in the care. The nurses and doctors also have to work shifts and take breaks from time to time. I can understand everyone's difficulties, which is why they were taken advantage of. I will not pursue this matter too much. I only hope to find the two women who delivered the soup. As for Xiao Gao, I hope he will be dealt with accordingly."
