"She can wait a little longer. Sheâs not the doctorâs only patient. Why is she in such a hurry?" Doctor Hu mercilessly criticized the familyâs mistaken perspective.
"She took time off to come here and needs to rush back to work," the patientâs husband explained for his wifeâs sake.
"Is she the only one in the world with a job? Is her job the only one that matters? Doctors also have jobs. Why canât she understand that doctors are very busy too?" Doctor Huâs every word pierced the patient and her familyâs hearts.
"Thatâs not what we meant," the patientâs husband said, his breath becoming heavier, nearly driven to fury by the unreasonable talk. He was merely explaining his wifeâs urgency and not expressing a lack of understanding toward the doctorâs busyness. "If you donât let us ask, then just donât. Why did she give my wife a wrong answer?"
Doctor Su, feeling tense, had her face tighten.
Raising his voice, Doctor Hu lashed out at the family as if a teaching whip was swung forcefully: "How many times have I told you? Why canât you hear it? Are you too busy to listen? Sheâs not your wifeâs attending doctor and doesnât know your wifeâs condition. Any reasonable person would ask the doctor who prescribed the medication. You should ask why your wife sought her out!"
The female patient burst into tears: It was all her own fault, all her fault indeedâ
Seeing this, Du Haiwei quickly spoke up to calm everyone down: "Donât worry. This bleeding situation isnât very serious. Letâs admit her for observation, and I think it shouldnât be a big problem."
The patient and her family were soothed by Du Haiweiâs attitude. The female patient was sent to an additional bed. The patientâs husbandâs angry gaze swept over Doctor Hu and Doctor Suâs faces, determined to remember these faces: Clearly, the blame wasnât solely his wifeâs.
After criticizing the family, Doctor Hu turned to criticize Doctor Du: "If you had explained properly before that she could only seek out your group of doctors, this incident with Doctor Su wouldnât have happened."
Du Haiwei stopped his colleague and Doctor Hu from arguing, saying, "Yes, Iâll talk to them later."
Some people donât like to help their colleagues with their work; the idea of teamwork is non-existent to them. Clearly, Doctor Hu and his group belonged to this way of working. Xie Wanying completely understood Doctor Zuoliangâs previous complaints about how unfortunate it was to be paired with this group.
Because next, Doctor Hu demanded again from Du Haiwei: "Doctor Du, our group of doctors has been quite busy lately. Iâve spoken to the director. Regarding what was discussed in the last meeting, can your group send someone to handle it? Your group has more people than ours."
Zuo Liang felt like cursing to himself. For these people, helping others is impossible, but others helping them is a must. Why does Doctor Duâs group have more people than you? Arenât you reflecting on this because no one wants to join your group?
Knowing that the people below were displeased, Du Haiwei instructed Zuo Liang to take Student Xie to conduct some patient examinations, while he responded to Doctor Hu: "I havenât heard the director say anything about this. Iâll need to discuss it with him."
Noticing that the other side didnât compromise, Doctor Hu switched topics, bringing up a situation Doctor Su mentioned yesterday: "Doctor Du Mengen was here for observation yesterday."
Oh, what shocking trouble did his son cause again? Du Haiwei felt helpless inside, as if being a father meant always having to clean up his sonâs messes at any moment.
"What did he do?" Du Haiwei asked.
Doctor Huâs arrogant tone continued criticizing the younger generation: "He and his classmates were observing Doctor Suâs surgery and midway through, he ran off, disrupting everyoneâs learning."
Du Haiwei was taken aback: His son, an excellent student who got into Beidu, how could he make such a mistake by running off in the middle of a learning activity, affecting class order?
