According to crime-solving theories, the culprit is guilty at the source. Doctor Hu is not wrong. However, patients and their families wonât accept this conclusion. Usually, patients think that even though they initially made a mistake, medical personnel should act like angels to help correct it. The fact that you didnât, and instead blamed it all on me, feels cold and heartless.
This conceptual deviation actually concerns who should bear the primary responsibility during the treatment period. In medicine, this is a fiercely debated topic. The public doesnât even need to think about it; theyâve already placed the primary responsibility on the medical staff. From a scientific perspective, the primary responsibility cannot fall on the medical staff. It first lies with the patients themselves, and itâs not much related to their families. Because sometimes, the families understand the medical staff while the patients themselves cause trouble.
When fighting illness, if patients rely entirely on medical staff and donât make efforts to protect their own bodies, itâs useless to rely on anyone. If this patient, who took the wrong medication, had been wholly responsible for their own body, without rushing, and only consulting the attending physician, none of this would have happened. The mistake was in relying on medical staff as a lifeline.
These words are truly harsh. Most patients become mentally fragile and confused after falling ill, and only out of sheer necessity do they rely on medical staff as a lifeline. Itâs understandable, and medical staff need to empathize with patients. However, scientifically speaking, medical staff cannot be patientsâ lifeline. The most medical staff can provide is scientific adviceâthey are not gods.
Once again, it signifies that Doctor Hu might be a more scientifically-oriented doctor, whereas Du Haiwei is truly a saint.
Saints are revered, while those who excessively reason are disliked. This is a common societal phenomenon, not limited to the field of medicine.
Standing nearby, listening to Doctor Su, Shen Xifei felt she made the right choice in turning to Doctor Hu. She couldnât be a saint like Xie Wanying; she could only reason.
"There used to be fewer people in your group, but I never heard you say you were this busy." The other party brought up the topic Doctor Su initially mentioned.
"Doctor Hu didnât use to be like this; she would help us with some tasks. Recently, I donât know whatâs wrong with her; is she trying to hammer us? Weâre doing almost all the surgeries while she watches from the side. Iâm afraid she might be preparing to retire, and thatâs why sheâs stepping back," Doctor Su said, full of concern.
As they spoke, they suddenly noticed someone standing beside them.
Seeing Doctor Su look over, Shen Xifei introduced herself, "Hello, Teacher Su. I was fortunate to meet Doctor Hu once before. It was Teacher Yang who introduced us. Doctor Hu told me then that I could come here to understand the work environment and bring my resume."
"Are you a medical student from the Obstetrics and Gynecology department?" Doctor Su sized her up, confirming he had never seen her before, and asked, "Youâre not from our Beidu Medical College, right? Where are you from? Who is this Teacher Yang youâre talking about?"
"Teacher Yang is an instructor at Beidu Third Labour Union and knows my good friend Zhang Xiaohui. Zhang Xiaohui is a famous star in our Medical College Art Troupe. Iâm a graduate student at Guoxie Obstetrics and Gynecology Department. That time, we ran into Teacher Yang and Teacher Hu dining out at the same place, so we greeted each other."
Upon hearing the words "Guoxie," Doctor Suâs expression turned slightly subtle. Recently, because of the medical students from Guoxie coming here for internships, Doctor Hu wasnât too fond of Guoxie.
It seemed from the other partyâs tone that Xie Wanying had "smeared" Guoxie, and she feared Xie Wanying dragging her down, causing her to lose employment opportunities here. Shen Xifei, agitated, expressed to Doctor Su: "Iâm not the same as Xie Wanying. Donât think that just because the teachers praise her, a lot of us donât get along with her."
