"Hmph, my son was hospitalized in your hospital for treatment. Now something happened. It must be your hospital's responsibility." The child's father was still trying his best to shirk responsibility. Perhaps he didn't even know that his son was dying.

Perhaps in the mind of this ignorant and foolish citizen, he thought that as long as his son was in the hospital, he was safe.

What he is calculating now is still the high medical expenses that may be incurred by his son's accidental poisoning.

Being poor is not scary.

What is scary is ignorance, lack of ambition and lack of principles.

"Let's go to the emergency room and rescue the patient!"

Professor Liu simply glanced at the child's parents without saying a word of argument.

This is what a doctor should do.

Li Quan felt secretly ashamed. There was actually no need to argue with the child's parents just now.

At all times, the doctor's first priority is to save the patient.

Although in Li Quan's opinion, the child was basically sentenced to death and it would be difficult to save him.

But as a doctor, even if the patient has only a one in ten thousand chance of success, you should do your best.

"I'm telling you, you will be responsible for anything that happens to my son. Also, all the medical expenses should be borne by you, Doctor Li..."

The child's father was still yelling behind him.

Be it Professor Liu or Director Zhang, neither of them changed their expressions.

Even his expression didn't change.

This is concentration!

His heart was as firm as a rock and he remained unmoved no matter how the family members made a fuss.

To be able to reach their state of mind, they must have experienced countless big situations.

Li Quan is good at thinking and constantly learning and growing.

He learned the correct way to handle crises from his teachers and others.

Following Professor Liu and Director Zhang into the emergency room, the child's face on the emergency table had turned completely black.

Heartbeat and blood pressure all became a straight line.

The respiratory exchange rate is zero.

The person is gone.

This is the scene that Li Quan least wants to see.

I didn't expect this moment to come.

Dr. He Chi, who was trying his best to rescue the patient, collapsed on the ground next to the rescue table.

The nurse's face was filled with fear and she didn't dare to even look at the boy on the emergency table.

Because the boy was now bleeding from all seven orifices, his face was black, and he looked extremely scary.

Especially the dark red blood flowing out of the eyes and overflowing from the four corners of the eyes, turning the face into a picture of a ghost that can only be seen in horror movies.

In addition, the child suffered great pain before dying, so that his facial features were distorted and became particularly hideous.

I guess this female nurse will definitely suffer some psychological trauma.

You may even have nightmares after returning home.

Although Li Quan had seen dead people before, he still felt a little nervous when he saw the horrible appearance of this child.

Director Zhang was the bravest one. He walked to the emergency table, put on rubber gloves, and opened the child's eyelids to take a look.

"The patient's pupils are dilated, his heart and breathing are gone, and his brain wave signals are getting weaker and weaker. We can declare the patient dead." Director Zhang's voice was a little sad.

This was a vibrant young life, and it was gone just like that.

The medical staff present felt very sad.

The current standard for determining death in our country is mainly based on cardiac arrest.

Generally speaking, brain waves do not disappear immediately after a person dies. They last for about ten to forty to fifty minutes, depending on the person.

"Report it to the medical department immediately!" Professor Liu's face was as gloomy as water.

He is the nominal director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department. Even if he is just a figurehead, he has a heavy responsibility.

Now someone has died, and the family is making a fuss? They insist that the patient was poisoned because he took the traditional Chinese medicine prescribed by the hospital.

This requires a calm and composed response.

Professionals do professional things.

If it is really the hospital's responsibility, then of course they will bear it. But if it is found that the patient and his family are responsible, then we will follow the legal procedures.

Whatever the family members say is not necessarily the truth.

This will be identified and investigated by professional personnel and institutions.

"Have you done a routine blood test?" Professor Liu asked in a deep voice.

"It has been done on an expedited basis! But the results are not out yet."

Li Quan secretly rejoiced that he had made it to the emergency room and asked the nurse to draw blood for testing immediately.

Because drawing blood for testing after a patient has died is basically no longer the hospital's right.

Instead, it's the medical examiner who does these things.

With the evidence in your own hands, you don't have to be so passive.

You will also feel more confident when dealing with disturbances caused by family members.

"There are two things we need to do now. We must hurry to find out the cause of death and comfort the family." Professor Liu seemed extremely calm and collected. It was obviously not the first time he had dealt with such a death.

"Has the medical department been notified?" Professor Liu asked the nurse in the emergency department.

"Hmm? Section Chief Wang will be here soon to handle this matter."

The nurse's voice trembled a little when she spoke.

Someone died? She might be scared.

Doctors and nurses are just ordinary people. They also have fear, sadness and joy. But for this sacred profession, they force themselves to cultivate a strong heart.

For example, when dealing with a patient with severe burns, it is easy to vomit when seeing that scene.

You have to endure it.

When faced with unreasonable disturbances by family members or patients, the grievances they feel are enough to make medical staff cry like a child, but they still have to endure it.

When a patient dies, doctors and nurses may be even sadder than the family members.

Medical staff have a high social status and are respected by the public, which is closely related to their contributions to mankind.

Now that the patient has died while in hospital, according to hospital procedures, this matter will be handled by the Medical Department.

Generally speaking, if the family members are very emotional, the hospital will even deliberately protect the doctors and nurses involved and avoid meeting with the family members.

At this time, Li Quan had already walked to the front of the rescue table and reached out to touch the black blood flowing from the deceased.

"Doctor Li, don't touch it, it's dangerous!"

Director Zhang quickly spoke out to stop it.

The patient died of poisoning, and there must be toxins in his blood.

Directly touching the blood of the dead is a very dangerous thing.

"It's okay. I just want to identify what kind of poison killed the patient." Li Quan used his index and middle fingers to dip a little of the black blood flowing from the deceased.

The blood is extremely viscous and can be pulled out into blood threads nearly one centimeter long.

Also, there are dark spots in the blood.

Putting his nose close to the smell, Li Quan seemed to smell fish besides the smell of blood.

This is strange.

It is understandable that the patient's blood cannot clot quickly like normal people's, because the number of platelets in the blood of leukemia patients will continue to decrease, and the coagulation function will become worse and worse.

But I've never heard of the blood of a leukemia patient smelling like fish.

"Chen Xia, where is the patient's vomit?" Li Quan thought of something very important.

It doesn’t matter if the child’s father refuses to tell the truth, because the child’s vomit doesn’t lie.

Professor Liu and Director Zhang's eyes also lit up.

yes!

How could I forget such an important thing?

The toxic components in vomit can be directly tested.

This is an extremely important piece of evidence.

"In the trash can of the hematology ward in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, I'll go find it now!" Chen Xia also knew that someone had been killed by treatment in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department, and this was a very serious matter.

Following Li Quan, she had just seen a glimmer of hope, but she didn't want it to be gone just like that.

No matter which doctor it is, if he has killed someone and made mistakes, his future is basically ruined.

Even if his medical license was not revoked, he would not be employed by any hospital in the future. He could be happy if he could be an assistant or do some idle job that could not cause serious harm.

She has a good heart and is willing to help Li Quan clear himself of all responsibility.

"Let me go with you! The patient's family members are difficult to talk to, and I'm afraid they will do something bad to you." Li Quan washed his hands and followed Chen Xia out of the emergency room.

The child's parents who were waiting outside seemed to have a premonition that their son was in trouble.

Because of the coming and going, many doctors and nurses came.

Everyone looked nervous and walked in a hurry.

When they saw Li Quan coming out, they immediately rushed over and tried to stop Li Quan.

“Get out of the way!”

Li Quan shouted coldly, emitting a powerful aura.

There must be something hateful about a pitiful person.

This middle-aged couple's son died, so they deserve sympathy and are very pitiful.

However, they knew that the poisoning was caused by the food they bought for their son. Not only did they hide what they gave the child to eat, they also kept putting the blame on Li Quan.

They were thinking about how to get Li Quan to waive their son's medical expenses.

They would never consider Li Quan at all.

They did not remember Li Quan's kindness in treating their son's illness without any hesitation, nor did they take into account that Li Quan was just an ordinary doctor who earned only more than 2,000 yuan a month and whose financial situation was not good.

They didn't care whether Li Quan could afford their son's expensive medical expenses.

They would not consider how much negative impact doing so would have on Li Quan's reputation and work.

I can only say that when a person is selfish to a certain extent, it is very scary.

There is no absolute standard to define bad people and good people.

But I think that you can tell whether a person is a bad person by how selfish he is.

Li Quan coldly dismissed the middle-aged couple, and he and Chen Xia left in a hurry.

We quickly arrived at the inpatient ward of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department.

As soon as I arrived at the ward door, I could smell a disgusting sour odor.

It is the smell emitted by the contents of the stomach.

"Fortunately, it was not cleaned away by the patient's family and the cleaning lady." Li Quan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let me do it!"

When he saw Chen Xia was going to get the trash can, Li Quan took the trash can first.

It would be embarrassing for a lady to do such a dirty and disgusting thing with Mr. Li Quan present.

When he needs to be a gentleman, he will never hide behind and do something sneaky.

"Thank you, Dr. Li, for your consideration!" Nurse Chen Xia smiled with gratitude.

When people get along with each other, it starts with the five senses, is loyal to the three values, and lasts for a long time with character.

The character displayed by Li Quan has initially won Chen Xia's recognition.

"Let's go and send this important evidence to the laboratory immediately." After Li Quan got the key evidence, he was not so panicked anymore.

He was thinking in his mind, why did the patient's blood give off a faint fishy smell?

Did the patient eat fish at night?

Logically speaking, even if you eat fish, it will go through multiple filtrations in the digestive tract before being absorbed by the human body.

Blood shouldn't smell fishy.

Or in other words, the patient eats fish regularly?

Everything will have to wait until the laboratory can detect the specific composition of the stomach contents.

…

About half an hour later, a police car drove into the hospital.

Leaders from the Health Bureau also came overnight.

The body of the deceased is undergoing forensic examination.

When the child's parents learned the news of their son's death, they were heartbroken and cried and pounded the ground with their hands.

"Police comrades, you must seek justice for my son. It was that quack doctor who killed our son. Our son was previously treated at the Provincial People's Hospital and had been doing well. This time I saw a news report saying that Huier Hospital had developed a traditional Chinese medicine treatment for leukemia.

So we went through the transfer procedures and came for treatment with great hope.

Who knew this was a trap?

The doctor named Li Quan was a fraudulent doctor and a murderer. He prescribed Chinese medicine for my son, and he was poisoned to death that night..."

The child's father confused right and wrong, insisting that it was Li Quan who killed their son.

"We, the police, understand your pain very well. Please accept our condolences! We have detained the doctor involved, but we will need to wait for the forensic examination to find out how the patient died."

When the police enforce the law, they strictly follow procedures.

They neither blindly believed the one-sided words of the deceased's family members nor were they cold and unkind.

Instead, try to comfort the family of the deceased in a gentle way.

In the medical department's office, staff from the Health Bureau, police, hospital leaders, and several doctors and nurses involved in the incident were all present.

"Who is Li Quan?"

The police officer asked sternly.

"I am!"

"The family of the deceased insisted that their son died of poisoning after taking the Chinese medicine you prescribed. We need you to cooperate with our police investigation."

"Yes, I will fully cooperate with the police and health department personnel in their investigation."

Li Quan looked serious.

"The prescription was not written by Li Quan, but by me." Professor Liu stood up at this time.

Because Li Quan does not have a TCM practitioner certificate, the medicines he prescribed to patients are prescription TCM medicines. If it is determined that the medicines were prescribed by Li Quan, it would constitute illegal medical practice.

"What are you doing..." The police looked at Professor Liu with some confusion.

"He is only responsible for giving acupuncture to patients, and it is done under my guidance. I am the patient's attending physician, and I write the prescription." This is absolute true love for Professor Liu.

Now that someone has died, he simply takes all the responsibility on himself.

Even though he knew that the patient's cause of death had nothing to do with the Chinese medicine he took, it still took a lot of courage for Professor Liu to do this.

If it was a more cunning senior doctor, he would not even have the time to think of how to shirk the responsibility, let alone take the initiative to take the blame.

"Who's the nurse on duty?"

"I am!"

Chen Xia stood up.

"Is there anyone else who treats the patient?"

The police asked again.

"I am the attending physician and also Li Quan's superior physician." Ye Ru replied.

She also received a notification from the hospital and rushed over in a hurry.

Her hair was still loose.

Compared with her usual refined and capable image with a bun, she now looks more charming and enchanting.

"Well, you guys will go back to the police station with our police to record your statements. The patient's family has already reported the case, but our police have not yet filed a case."

The police's words made their meaning very clear.

If it is found that the patient's cause of death is not the hospital's responsibility, but it is a normal death due to illness, then no case will be filed.

If it constitutes a criminal case, an investigation will be initiated.

In fact, since the patient died of poisoning, it was definitely not a normal death.

It is only a matter of time before a case is filed.

"Boss, the forensic doctor has already made a preliminary appraisal. The patient died of food poisoning. We need to communicate with the family of the deceased. We may need to perform an autopsy to further determine the cause of death."

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense.

Chief Wang and others from the Medical Department looked at Li Quan, Professor Liu and others with concern.

If a patient dies of poisoning while in hospital, it will be a big trouble if it is really caused by the doctor.

I'm afraid it's not as simple as losing money.

Being arrested, prosecuted, and then sentenced to jail is a very real possibility.
