Inside ward number 27.
As soon as Su Zhengnan finished speaking.
The entire ward fell silent. Everyone present seemed unable to believe their ears and was unable to react for a long time.
"Director Su... what... what did you just say?"
Feng Xuegong opened his mouth wide and stared blankly at Su Zhengnan, asking the question.
Su Zhengnan sighed softly and said, "The patient's pulse is a boiling pulse. Ten minutes, uh, no, there are only nine minutes left. The patient will die in nine minutes. Record the patient's time of death!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Xuegong immediately stepped forward, grabbed the patient's wrist, and began to take his pulse.
It wasn't that he didn't believe Su Zhengnan's dialectical conclusion.
This is absolutely mind-blowing.
The patient was about to die as soon as the ward rounds began?
What a coincidence!
Su Zhengnan also felt helpless, as this was the first time he had faced a patient's death.
To be honest, no matter how skilled he is in medicine, it's just medicine, not some kind of magical art that can bring the dead back to life.
Lu Zhiyuan and resident physician Xue Aizhong exchanged a glance and asked softly:
"Director Su, are you sure the patient will die in nine minutes? This... this can't be a mistake, can it?"
"Don't worry, I can't be mistaken."
Su Zhengnan sighed softly, glanced at the patient on the hospital bed, and said, "If he doesn't die in nine minutes, then I, Su, am not skilled enough and am not worthy of being the head of this department."
After saying that, Su Zhengnan ignored the reactions of others, turned around and stepped out of the ward.
Feng Xuegong took the patient's pulse, his eyebrows almost furrowing together, but he still couldn't quite grasp the situation.
Although the patient's pulse was indeed as Su Zhengnan described, like boiling water in a kettle, flowing out but not in.
But he died nine minutes later?
Feng Xuegong simply couldn't believe this conclusion.
.............
a long time.
Resident physician Xue Aizhong couldn't help but suddenly speak up:
"Didn't Director Su say the patient would die in nine minutes? Should we wait and see?"
yes!
It only took nine minutes.
Time flies by.
Can't we just wait nine minutes and find out the result?
Feng Xuegong frowned as he stood up, turned to Lu Zhiyuan, and asked:
"Dr. Lu, was this patient admitted by Dr. Niu?"
"yes!"
Lu Zhiyuan nodded and said, "I even tried to persuade Dr. Niu not to admit this patient, but he wouldn't listen."
Upon hearing this, Feng Xuegong couldn't help but sigh softly and said:
"In that case, let's notify Dr. Niu and have him come over."
"Uh, okay, I'll go and inform Dr. Niu right away."
Lu Zhiyuan nodded in agreement, and then immediately left the ward to call Niu Guangliang.
Tap tap tap...
Upon receiving the news, Niu Guangliang rushed over in a hurry.
Seeing Su Zhengnan standing in the corridor outside the ward, Niu Guangliang's expression changed slightly, and he stepped forward to greet him:
"Director Su!"
"Um!"
Su Zhengnan nodded and glanced at him, then asked, "Was this patient admitted by you before?"
"Ah, yes!"
Niu Guangliang nodded in agreement.
Su Zhengnan sighed softly and said, "Notify the patient's family!"
After saying that, Su Zhengnan turned and walked towards the next ward, clearly not wanting to say anything more.
Niu Guangliang paused for a moment, turned to look at Lu Zhiyuan, and then pushed open the door to the ward and went inside.
A beep!
Just as he pushed open the door and entered the ward.
A sharp alarm suddenly sounded in the ward; it was the sound produced when the heart rate monitor reached zero!
"Holy crap... he's really dead?"
Lu Zhiyuan exclaimed in surprise, then glanced at the time and realized that exactly ten minutes had passed since Su Zhengnan took his pulse.
Really?
Is Director Su really that capable?
Does saying someone will die in ten minutes mean they'll die in ten minutes?
Feng Xuegong, who was standing nearby, was also shocked. He quickly went over to check the patient's heartbeat and breathing, but it seemed that all of these things had disappeared at once.
"Really...really dead?"
Niu Guangliang was immediately deflated, and for a moment he didn't know how to describe his feelings.
Although he did not cause the patient's death.
But the patient was admitted by him, and died in the hospital, without even time for emergency treatment.
From this perspective, if we really want to investigate...
Niu Guangliang still bears some responsibility for oversight.
If he hadn't admitted this patient, none of this would have happened.
To put it bluntly...
No matter where this patient dies, as long as it's not in their Traditional Chinese Medicine department, it won't affect their department's performance bonus.
But now, the patient is dead.
The entire hospital stay lasted less than a week.
Niu Guangliang stood there blankly, unable to come to his senses for a long time.
Feng Xuegong couldn't help but sigh softly, then stepped forward and gently patted Niu Guangliang's shoulder, saying:
"Notify the family and record the patient's time of death."
"Uh, okay, I'll notify the patient's family right away."
Realizing what had happened, Niu Guangliang quickly left the ward, took out his phone, and made a call to the patient's family.
However, what he didn't know was...
The patient's family was just waiting for his call!
After confirming the patient's death, Su Zhengnan didn't say much, but continued to check the remaining wards.
After making the phone call to the patient's family, Niu Guangliang began filling out the patient's death record.
And at this time.
Upon receiving the call, the patient's family immediately contacted his employer, Chen Jinfei's bodyguard.
"Boss, my brother has died in the hospital. What should we do next?"
"Do I need to ask you what to do?"
Chen Jinfei's bodyguard frowned and scolded, "Take all your family members and prepare to go to their hospital and cause trouble for me. If you don't have enough manpower, I can arrange it for you. Remember to print out a few banners and send them over."
"Ah, yes, I understand."
The patient's younger brother, Guo Aimin, nodded excitedly and asked urgently, "What about the cost? Boss, you promised us a million, and look, my brother's dead..."
"Alright, I understand. I'll transfer 500,000 to you first, and the remaining 500,000 will be given to you after you've settled things."
Chen Jinfei's bodyguard frowned.
"Okay, okay, thank you, boss."
Guo Aimin was very excited and thanked them profusely. After the other party transferred 500,000 yuan into his account, he immediately took his parents, brother and sister-in-law, nephews and nieces, and prepared to go to the Beijing Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital to cause a medical dispute.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Jinfei's bodyguard contacted a group of reporters and asked them to follow up on the story.
Of course, a kickback was definitely given.
Otherwise, a typical medical dispute wouldn't attract so many reporters.
.............
afternoon.
It's past two o'clock!
Su Zhengnan had just finished his lunch break when all the doctors started their workday.
Suddenly, a large group of people poured into the entrance of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department, with a few leaders holding a huge banner that read:
"The Traditional Chinese Medicine department of a Beijing-based hospital treats people's lives with utter disregard. My brother died less than a week after being admitted. This heartless hospital deserves my brother's life!"
Immediately afterwards, a group of reporters started snapping photos indiscriminately.
For a time, the entire outpatient department of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department was in chaos.
"What's going on? Didn't I tell you to notify the patient's family? Why are the patient's family suddenly causing trouble?"
Feng Xuegong received the news immediately and went straight to Niu Guangliang to greet him, which made Niu Guangliang so angry that he was almost fuming.
So many years!
How many years has it been since their hospital experienced such a large-scale medical dispute?
Before he knew it, the patient's family members had started causing a disturbance at the hospital with a group of people. He hadn't even had time to react during his lunch break!
Feng Xuegong was speechless.
Niu Guangliang was completely bewildered. "I...I don't know! I just made a normal phone call to the patient's family to inform them that the patient had died. I have no idea why they would suddenly come here to cause trouble for the medical staff!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Xuegong stomped his foot in anger and said, "Then why don't you hurry up and find out what's going on? What are you still standing here for?"
"Ah...yes, yes, I'll go right away, I'll go right away..."
Niu Guangliang ran outside in a daze, leading several doctors and nurses to inquire about the situation.
However.
The patient's family did not listen to any of his explanations; they were deliberately causing trouble at the hospital.
So no matter how Niu Guangliang explained, the patient's family wouldn't listen to a word. They just kept holding up a banner and shouting at the entrance of the outpatient room that the hospital was treating human life like dirt.
Soon, the entire hospital leadership was alarmed.
Su Zhengnan frowned as he went downstairs to the outpatient department. In just a moment, he realized that the group of patients causing trouble for the doctor was not simple.
Normally, the patient's family should be aware of the patient's condition.
Given the patient's condition, there is absolutely no possibility that the other party can be cured.
But they tried every possible way to get the patient admitted to the hospital.
It's obvious that there's something fishy going on here; it's definitely not simple.
Feng Xuegong looked anxious. He was about to lead a group of hospital security guards to stop them when Su Zhengnan stopped him.
"Director Feng, you shouldn't bring anyone over there."
Su Zhengnan stepped forward and blocked Feng Xuegong's path, instructing him:
"Go and find out why Dr. Niu admitted this patient to the hospital before. Judging from the patient's condition, Dr. Niu shouldn't have admitted him before. There must be some reason for this."
Originally, Chen Jinfei's bodyguards had arranged for the patients to directly consult with Su Zhengnan, and then be admitted to the hospital by Su Zhengnan.
In that case...
As long as a patient dies in the hospital, Su Zhengnan will be inextricably linked to it.
However, Su Zhengnan, as the department director, does not see patients in the outpatient clinic.
So in the end, they had no choice but to consult a random doctor and then hurriedly go to the hospital.
"Okay, I'll go check it out now."
Feng Xuegong nodded and turned to go to the medical department.
