Chapter 194: 149 Causing Trouble at the Doorstep, Wanwan Furiously Denounces the Shameless (2 more updates)_2
"This is the authoritative doctor from the hospital who has always refused to accept interviews. Just look for yourselves, his attitude towards us and these wealthy people couldnât be more different. It seems like our lives are just not as valuable."
"Wang Li! What exactly are you trying to do?" Zhou Zhongqing struggled to suppress the rage within. His name had already spread among the medical staff, and everyone went out of their way to avoid him.
"I just want everyone to see how ugly the face of your hospital is!"
The man was in his fifties, thin and gaunt, with prominent bones and features that gave off an impression of being sharp and mean-spirited.
"Doctor Zhou, would you like to respond to his accusations?"
"Has your hospital provided special privileges with a fast-track?"
...
Zhou Zhongqing clenched his jaw and said nothing; the reporter then turned their attention to the patient Tang Wan lying on the bed, "Would you like to say something?"
At this moment, the medical staff who had heard the news came running into the ward. Seeing the situation, they were also grinding their teeth in anger.
Some patients and family members from the same floor also came to join in the commotion, making the inside and outside of the ward chaotic.
"Youâre asking me, right? Since thereâs media here today and you all wanted to interview me, letâs use this opportunity to make things clear," Zhou Zhongqing stood up, "If thereâs an issue, speak up, but please donât harass my patients."
Zhou Zhongqing, normally amiable in his white coat, lost his smile and became severe and intimidating.
"Enough, Doctor Zhou!" Someone intervened.
Eventually, the situation always seemed to twist in such a way that it appeared as if the hospital was at fault, even if the hospital issued a statement, it seemed as though no one would believe it.
"Wang Li, your mother came to the hospital back in October and was advised by a doctor to be hospitalized. You just had her on a drip for a while and then forcefully took her away. Did this not happen?"
"You doctors are just good at scaring people. My mom was fine; you insisted on having us stay in the hospital. How do we know youâre not just trying to scam money?" Wang Li scoffed.
Zhou Zhongqing snickered, "Last month, she was brought to the hospital again. This time she had collapsed at home, unconscious. You had no other option and had to send her here."
"The old ladyâs vital signs were very weak. If it were any later, Iâm afraid not even a deity could have saved her."
"At the time, to save her, we didnât forcefully collect any fees from you, taking her directly to the operating room. That counts as giving you a fast-track privilege. Why donât you mention this to the reporters?"
...
The reporter looked at Wang Li, seemingly wanting an answer.
But he shouted out loud, "Isnât it supposed to be your duty to treat and save patients? Besides, what state have you saved my mother in?"
"Her age is there for all to see, and by the way, the condition of her health... donât you family members have any idea? You mistreat her at home, and when things go wrong, itâs all the hospitalâs fault?"
"If you think thereâs something wrong with our hospital, weâve said you can report us, even seek medical appraisal."
"If you donât trust us, youâre free to transfer to another hospital at any time!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Li became agitated, "She became ill under your care, why should we transfer hospitals? Youâre just trying to shirk responsibility!"
Zhou Zhongqing snickered. After all, he wasnât the type to act shamelessly. Facing such an unreasonable person, he wished he could give him a couple of punches to relieve his frustration.
Tang Wanwan stepped forward.
"Mr. Wang, right? Iâm not clear on what issues you have with the hospital, and I wonât comment. But why did you bring reporters and barge into our ward?"
"If my grandfather suffers any problems due to the stress today, who will be responsible?"
"This has been going on for several days. Why drag others down with your personal problems?"
Wang Li laughed shamelessly, "You enjoy privilege and you donât even want others to mention it!"
"Itâs all just because you have some money at home."
Although Tang Wanwan appeared gentle, she had a temper when provoked, and was not someone to be taken lightly. Even though Wang Li was shameless, facing her suddenly cold expression and the cutting gaze felt like a blade inching toward him, causing him to shiver deep down.
"Why are you looking at me like that! Have I said something wrong? With so many journalists here today, do you still want to hit me?"
Tang Wan chuckled lightly, "So itâs about privilege, after all!"
"Youâve been saying that the hospital has been too harsh on your grandma, and youâve caused such a fuss. Now that the reporters are here, the hospital would hate not to treat your grandma like a deity, terrified she might have even the slightest issue."
"After all, with the current public opinion, even a tiny incident involving her would probably result in netizens spitting enough saliva to tear the hospital and the doctors to shreds. Theyâre providing her with the best care. Do you really not realize who the hospital has opened the green channel for?"
"Claiming that the hospital mistreated your grandma, refusing to pay, and making the hospital take on so much responsibility, who is truly shameless!"
Tang Wanâs words struck a nerve in that person.
The people outside were all abuzz. Indeed, with such a scene, the hospital would hate not to house his grandmother in a sterile room and wouldnât dare offend them in the slightest.
"You brat, what nonsense are you spouting!" Wang Li was a bit mad with fury.
"You insist that we are abusing privilege, saying that Doctor Zhou only treats us. I want to ask, would you expect an internal medicine doctor to perform surgery, like an orthopedic surgeon? Who could do that?"
"If we were so powerful and abusing privilege, could you have barged in here, so insolently?"
Tang Wan had never seen such unreasonable troublemakers before.
"Mr. Wang, weâve been on the same floor for quite some time, and youâve been making a scene with the hospital for a while. I really donât understand why suddenly youâve turned your hostility towards us?" Tang Wan looked at him.
"Has someone offered you a bribe?"
"Nonsense! Simply farting around. Reporters, comrades, this brat is just talking rubbish!" As soon as Wang Li heard this, he became somewhat panicky.
"What do you mean by that? Are you suggesting that Iâm deliberately slandering you? Youâre giving yourself too much credit."
"Besides, are we short of money?"
Zhou Zhongqing snickered lightly, "Wasnât it just because her illness wasnât covered by health insurance that you didnât allow the old lady to be hospitalized?"
"You..."
...
Just then, a person suddenly appeared at the door.
"Whatâs going on here?" The womanâs voice was crisp, seemingly with a hint of surprise.
When Tang Wan turned her head, she saw Zhuang Rao walking in with flowers and a fruit basket, dressed fashionably and with her makeup meticulously applied she appeared at the door to the sickroom.
"What happened? Why are there so many people?" She surveyed the room, looking surprised, but she couldnât hide her emotions.
Like...
Schadenfreude.
"Miss Zhuang?"
"I just came to visit old Mr. Tang," said Zhuang Rao with a smile.
"Miss Zhuang, what a coincidence..." Just then, another clear and mild male voice came from outside.
Zhuang Rao turned around and saw Jiang Jinsang approaching quickly. Their eyes met, and the unwarranted chill in his eyes startled a shiver from her.
Several people followed behind Jiang Jinsang, especially Jiang Jiu, dressed in black with sunglasses on, looking powerfully built. The crowd that had gathered around the door stepped aside to make way for him.
As soon as he entered the room, he said in a low voice, "Close the door."
Jiang Jiu then closed the door. He stood with his back against the small glass window on the door, cutting off the view from outside.
