Chapter 189 Medical Disputes
After receiving the appointment notice from the General Military Hospital, Director Kong was overjoyed.
He didn't care about such a title. The military hospital was under the military's jurisdiction, and with the military protecting her, Jiang Ning's safety would be more guaranteed.
The appointment notice had barely been issued when people came and carried out some renovations at the hospital.
Even the hospital's name was changed to the Capital 615 Military Hospital.
The people naturally trusted the soldiers who were at the forefront more, and after the former People's Hospital was renamed, they were more willing to come for treatment.
Thanks to Dean Kong's efforts and promotion, the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine has finally gotten back on track.
The reputation of traditional Chinese medicine spread by word of mouth, and gradually, more and more people came to the TCM department for treatment.
Shen Mo delivered the prescriptions to the main district, and Jiang Ning's patient load increased.
Many people come because of her reputation; most patients specifically request to see her.
With the increase in patients, Jiang Ning was so busy she couldn't keep up.
She recommended Dr. Liu and Dr. Lü to the patients, but they didn't seem to believe her.
Jiang Ning simply asked Dean Kong to bring two more desks to her consultation room so that Dr. Liu and Dr. Lü could see patients together in her consultation room.
With Dr. Liu and Dr. Lü sharing the burden, Jiang Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Dr. Liu and Dr. Lü, who were originally enjoying a peaceful time, suddenly found themselves living a life of constant busyness.
It's a good thing that traditional Chinese medicine is being promoted. Although it's tiring, they are very happy.
They were busy until noon and there were still patients coming to see them, so Jiang Ning discussed with the two doctors that they would go to lunch in shifts.
Dr. Liu and Dr. Lü told her to go first, so Jiang Ning went to the cafeteria with Xu Jin, who had come to find her.
The two had just finished eating and were about to go back to relieve Dr. Liu and Dr. Lü when a nurse rushed over. "Director Jiang, something's happened! A patient is making a scene, saying you've killed someone!"
Before Jiang Ning could say anything, Xu Jin frowned and said, "How is that possible!"
Jiang Ning reassured her, "Don't worry, let's go take a look."
Xu Jin's expression was serious. "Ningning, you must protect yourself later. Medical disputes can easily lead to trouble."
Jiang Ning nodded.
Back at the Traditional Chinese Medicine department, a crowd had gathered in front of Jiang Ning's consultation room.
The people gathered around were patients who had come for treatment, as well as doctors and nurses from the hospital.
A middle-aged man was sitting on the ground in front of the examination room, holding a woman in his arms. Judging from her appearance, she was already dead.
Dr. Liu and Dr. Lü were extremely anxious.
Dr. Lü, please calm down. "You came to the hospital to slander Director Jiang. I have already called the police!"
Upon hearing the police report, the man sitting on the ground holding the corpse remained calm and instead said fiercely, "I'll say the same thing even if you call the police. My wife's name is Ma Qingmei. She died today after taking the medicine prescribed by Dr. Jiang. Your hospital must take responsibility!"
Dr. Lü obtained the medical records from someone, and indeed, a patient named Ma Qingmei had come to see him a few days ago.
The fierce-looking man glanced at the other person looking at the file and suddenly cried out, "What are you looking at? My wife was treated at your hospital! You unscrupulous hospital! You killed my wife, and the culprits haven't even shown up! This is a human life, you must compensate us, you must take responsibility!"
Dr. Lü did not deny that the patient had been treated at their hospital. After the other party made such a fuss, all the patients who came to see the doctor couldn't help but doubt Dr. Jiang's medical skills.
If Dr. Jiang really caused someone to die, would they still need to continue treating them?
Dr. Liu knelt down next to the man and reached out to check the woman's pulse.
Before he could even touch anyone, he was slapped away.
"What do you want to do to my wife? My wife is dead!"
Dr. Liu wanted to check if the other person was really dead, but the other person was unreasonable and wouldn't let him touch them.
At that moment, a clear, cold female voice came from behind the crowd, "How can we know if she's really dead if you don't let us confirm?"
"Director Jiang is here."
Someone shouted.
The other protagonist of this incident appeared, and the people surrounding him immediately made way for him.
Jiang Ning squatted down beside her and reached out her hand.
Dr. Liu and Dr. Lü, who had been waiting in ambush, immediately grabbed the man's arms from both sides.
The man froze for a moment when he saw Jiang Ning, and in that instant, he was pinned down.
The man was both shocked and furious. "What are you doing?!"
Jiang Ning gently laid the woman from the man's arms flat on the ground.
She pressed her finger to check his pulse, her eyes gleaming.
She was indeed no longer breathing.
She looked up and gave Xu Jin a look.
Xu Jin understood and immediately asked the medical staff surrounding her to get a stretcher.
While waiting for the stretcher to arrive, Jiang Ning checked the woman's limbs and found no obvious injuries.
Medical staff came over with a stretcher and carried the person away.
Jiang Ning took the medical record from Dr. Lü and read it through from beginning to end.
She remembered that woman; she remembered all the patients she had treated.
The deceased only had very common menopausal disorders. There was nothing wrong with the prescription she gave; she just needed to take good care of herself.
It will absolutely not kill anyone.
When the man saw his wife about to be carried away, he fought back, but Dr. Liu and Dr. Lü were watching his every move and pressed him back down the moment he jumped up.
"Where are you taking my wife? Are you trying to cover up the crime? So many people are watching..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Ning interrupted him, "We'll know exactly how the person died once the police station sends a forensic doctor over to investigate. So many people saw it. Even if we wanted to cover up the evidence, do you think we don't care about our hospital's reputation?"
Jiang Ning's words were clearly outside the man's knowledge. The man said fiercely, "She's dead, what else do you want to investigate? You prescribed medicine for my wife, and she died from it. That's your responsibility. You... you have to compensate."
His tone was fierce, but he lacked confidence.
Seeing that Jiang Ning showed no sign of panic, he felt a moment of panic instead.
This is different from what he expected. Aren't these people the ones who care most about their reputation? Shouldn't they give him some money to get rid of him in this situation?
Listening to the man's unconvinced words, Jiang Ning was now certain that he was up to something. Instead of going to the police station to report the incident, he brought his deceased wife to the hospital to demand compensation.
They're either stupid or have ulterior motives.
The man's targeted approach to her clearly indicated that he had ulterior motives.
Soon, the police officers from the local police station arrived.
