Chapter 358: Showing Good Will, There is a Dark Hand Behind the Scenes
"Poisoning!" The leading police officer's face became more serious. "Immediately draw blood from the deceased for toxicology. I will go talk to the deceased's family and try to get authorization for an autopsy."
An autopsy requires the signed consent of the deceased's immediate family, otherwise it cannot be performed.
The child's parents made such a fuss, and since they knew the real cause of their child's poisoning, they would probably refuse an autopsy.
After all, it's not good for them.
Li Quan hopes that the police can perform an autopsy to prove his innocence.
"First, take the doctor involved back to the police station to record his statement, separately..."
The leading police officer gave another special instruction.
The purpose of recording confessions separately is to prevent the suspects from making collusion in their testimony.
Generally speaking, the police can easily determine whether a suspect is lying based on the suspect's description.
Because this is what they do and they are professionals.
I heard that experienced criminal police can even roughly infer the suspect's gender, height, weight and other information from a shoe print, and the accuracy rate is very high.
"Comrade police, according to normal procedures, shouldn't our health authorities only need to investigate and verify this matter, and seal up the medical records, medicinal materials used for treatment, treatment sites, etc. Then, after the investigation is thorough, a conclusion will be drawn and the case will be handled in accordance with the Regulations on Handling Medical Accidents. It's inappropriate for the police to handle this directly, right?"
When the people from the Health Bureau saw that the police were about to take people away, they quickly stood up to stop them.
If a medical accident occurs during a doctor's treatment and is controversial, the doctor in question will generally report it immediately to the head of the department.
The head of the department should report promptly to the department or full-time personnel responsible for medical service quality monitoring in the medical institution.
Upon receiving the report, the department or full-time personnel responsible for medical service quality monitoring shall immediately conduct an investigation and verification, report the relevant situation truthfully to the person in charge of the medical institution, and inform and explain it to the patient.
This is the first step in dealing with medical malpractice.
Now Director Tan, Chief Wang of the Medical Department, and staff from the Health Bureau are all here.
To be honest, if the police came, they probably wouldn't have the power to deal with this matter directly. The most they could do was to maintain order at the scene and prevent the family of the deceased from engaging in physical conflict with hospital staff and other extreme behaviors.
"I don't mean anything else. I'm just following police procedures and recording a normal statement. It's better to be prepared." The leading policeman narrowed his eyes, without much expression on his face.
This medical accident is different from ordinary medical accidents. The patient died of poisoning.
In fact, it is a double case.
It is both a medical malpractice case and a criminal case.
There is nothing wrong with the police taking action and collecting evidence.
"Okay, after recording their statements, if it complies with legal procedures, please release them. Our Health Bureau also attaches great importance to this matter, and we need to conduct in-depth investigations and inquiries on the medical staff involved. In addition, can we let the Health Bureau participate in the autopsy?"
There were three people from the Health Bureau.
I don't know where the person who is speaking comes from.
However, seeing how calm and organized he was when communicating with the police, and how familiar he was with various legal procedures, it seems that even if he is in the Health Bureau, he probably holds a high position.
"The Health Bureau is the superior administrative department of Huier Hospital, so you can naturally participate in the autopsy." The leading policeman nodded in agreement.
"Okay, then let's each do our own thing and try to handle this matter perfectly." The head of the Health Bureau stood up and shook hands with the leading police officer, which meant that they wanted to cooperate in handling this case.
Then he turned and looked at Li Quan.
"Doctor Li Quan, don't worry. Our Health Bureau will never let any good doctor be wronged. We will handle this matter in a fair, open and just manner. When the time comes, after you have recorded your statement, we will need you to come back and cooperate with our Health Bureau to conduct an in-depth investigation of the entire incident."
Why didn't the leader of the Health Bureau say these words to Professor Liu and others? Instead, he only said these words to Li Quan. This is really thought-provoking.
Logically speaking, he must know that Professor Liu is the highest-ranking doctor among the doctors involved.
But he just mentioned Li Quan's name.
It was also emphasized that the Health Bureau also needed Li Quan's cooperation in conducting an in-depth investigation.
On the surface, it may seem normal, because Li Quan was the doctor in question. The deceased's family members named him and asked Li Quan to take responsibility.
But if you think about it carefully, you will find that he seems to be intentionally protecting Li Quan.
Does this mean to remind the police to release the person immediately after recording the statement?
Don't be detained in police station.
"OK, thanks!"
Li Quan nodded gratefully to the leader of the Health Bureau.
He is not a complete novice. If he cannot understand even if someone is helping him, he will not be able to become a doctor. Because people with low IQ cannot be admitted to a medical major at a key university.
The leading policeman looked at Li Quan deeply and said nothing.
He signaled to his men to intervene.
"Please come in, everyone!"
Li Quan and his group were "invited" to the police station.
Of course not for tea.
However, the two police officers were still polite to them.
"Hey, why is it you again?" The female police officer in charge of recording the statement recognized Li Quan at a glance.
In just two months, Li Quan has been invited in twice.
"Oh, I don't want to come either, but I'm just unlucky!" Li Quan had a bitter face.
It was fine that he got up in the middle of the night to rush to the hospital to save a patient. At best, he just didn't sleep much that night and overdrawn his life.
After rescuing the patient, he was framed by the family and was directly "invited" to the police station to record his statement.
He was so furious.
Puff~!
The policewoman was amused by him.
But then I thought that this was a serious occasion and it would be inappropriate to laugh in front of the suspect.
She turned away, and when she looked back again, her expression had returned to its serious state.
"Come and record your statements one by one. I'll record yours first!" The female police officer had already walked into an interrogation room first.
A police officer took Li Quan in.
Actually, it’s nothing. I just described the whole incident truthfully.
Li Quan also specifically mentioned that the father of the deceased went out to buy food for the child at night, which provided a useful clue for the police.
Now we are just waiting for the hospital to test the contents of the child’s vomit. Then Li Quan will surely be able to turn things around.
Now if the family of the deceased wants to make a fuss, let them do as much as they want.
…
By the time everyone finished giving their statements and returned to the hospital, it was almost six in the morning.
After Li Quan and others returned to the hospital, they were taken directly to the conference room.
But this time there were no police present.
The only people left in the meeting room were the hospital leaders and three people from the Health Bureau.
"Let me introduce myself first. I am Zhang Dianzhong, the head of the Health Law and Supervision Section of the Health Bureau. I received a notice from Director Yang this time and came here specifically to handle this medical accident."
The leader of the Health Bureau turned out to be the head of the Health Law and Supervision Section. No wonder he was so calm.
Even when facing the police investigating the case, I dare to fight for it.
"Doctor Li Quan, did the police make things difficult for you when you were recording your statement?" Zhang Dianzhong once again showed goodwill to Li Quan.
Dean Tan, Vice Dean Min and others showed surprised expressions.
We are all thoughtful people. It is really surprising that the leader of the Health Bureau has shown concern for Li Quan, a resident doctor, many times.
If the person the leaders of the Health Bureau were concerned about was Professor Liu, everyone would find it reasonable.
Because Professor Liu is a top-notch talent with a very high status, and he also has friendships with many important people.
However, Section Chief Zhang Dianzhong of the Health Bureau only cares about Li Quan.
This is clearly a release of goodwill.
To put it bluntly, it means to curry favor with others.
Dean Tan narrowed his eyes slightly, with a thoughtful expression on his face.
This Xiao Li is amazing.
Without saying anything, he established friendship with the leaders of the Health Bureau. This is something that many doctors could not accomplish even if they paid generous gifts and ran around.
"Thank you for your concern, Chief Zhang. The police handled the case fairly. They just called us in to record a detailed confession. There was no torture or excessive behavior."
When Li Quan heard Zhang Dianzhong mention Deputy Director Yang, he immediately understood why Section Chief Zhang was so concerned about him.
I guess it was Deputy Director Yang who gave the greeting.
Deputy Director Yang also asked Li Quan to treat hemophilia for him and his daughter.
Since it was Deputy Director Yang's order, Section Chief Zhang naturally had to do it.
He might be worried that Li Quan would not understand his good intentions, so he repeatedly expressed his concern for Li Quan.
There is something subtle here.
"I'm glad I didn't make things difficult for you! While you were at the police station giving your statements, the police and our health department requested an autopsy, but the family members firmly disagreed. By the way, you were able to collect the deceased's vomit in a timely manner, which was great. When the test results come out, it may become key evidence."
Section Chief Zhang never speaks nonsense.
All the key points.
Li Quan had expected that the family would refuse an autopsy.
In fact, there are two main purposes of an autopsy. The first is to extract the contents of the deceased's stomach for testing and component analysis. The second is to find out the specific cause of death.
For example, whether there is internal bleeding, whether organs such as the liver and intestines are normal, etc.
"I suspect the deceased was poisoned because he ate food bought by his family. Around 7pm yesterday evening, Chen Xia, a nurse who stayed in the inpatient ward, saw the deceased's father go out to buy food. She also asked her if the hospital cafeteria was closed. She said the deceased was hungry and wanted to eat."
Since Li Quan knew that Section Chief Zhang was one of his own, he would definitely tell him some key useful information.
"Oh, this is an important clue. Have you told the police?"
Section Chief Zhang's expression changed slightly.
"Yes, I said it when I was recording my statement." Li Quan nodded.
"Haha, this is quite interesting. The family of the deceased refused to have an autopsy, and when we interviewed the police at the scene, the family of the deceased did not mention this matter. Let's wait patiently. I estimate that in another hour or two, the composition of the deceased's vomit should be identified by then."
Section Chief Zhang is also a sensible man.
I know there must be something wrong with the family of the deceased.
However, there are some things he cannot say without absolute evidence.
"It's just right. You can take advantage of this time to tell us what happened in detail. Including the entire treatment process." Section Chief Zhang and two of his staff members questioned Li Quan and others and then took notes, but they didn't mention it.
…
Around eight o'clock in the morning, Li Quan and others cooperated with the investigation team of the Health Bureau to complete the investigation.
The entire treatment process is legal and compliant.
Now we are waiting for the results from the testing center.
"Director, the family of the deceased has put up banners and started a commotion at the hospital entrance. They said that Doctor Li Quan killed their son and they want Li Quan to pay with his life. They also said that the competent department accepted red envelopes and benefits from our hospital, did nothing, and condoned the black-hearted doctor to continue to harm the people..."
A hospital staff member hurried into the conference room and reported to Director Tan and others.
The family members of the deceased must have seen Li Quan and others return to the hospital safely, and then waited for so long, but neither the hospital nor the police gave them a clear response.
That's why they were making a scene with banners.
"Let me handle it!" Vice President Min stood up.
"President Min, please wait a moment!" Li Quan called out to Vice President Min.
"Doctor Li, is there anything wrong?" Vice President Min frowned slightly.
Now the family members of the deceased are making a fuss. If we don’t deal with it quickly, it will definitely cause very bad negative impact.
"I have met the deceased's family several times. Judging from their clothing, they must be from poorer rural villages. Even when they learned of their son's death, they did not show any extreme reaction. The health bureau and the police have not yet given any advice on how to deal with the matter. They will definitely not go crazy enough to recklessly hold up banners and cause trouble in the hospital."
"I think there is probably someone behind this. Apart from anything else, it takes time just to make the banner. Which advertising shop would open so early?"
Li Quan seemed particularly calm, with a gleam of wisdom in his eyes.
After listening to his analysis, the eyes of several key leaders lit up and they looked thoughtful.
"Xiao Li's analysis makes sense. Old Min, I think this matter is not simple. If there is really someone behind this, it is very aggressive. You must be extra careful when handling it, and don't give those with ulterior motives a handle to attack and spread rumors."
Dean Tan is also a man of great foresight and wisdom.
After Li Quan's reminder, he immediately realized the huge crisis hidden behind this matter.
"If he dares to mess with our Huier Hospital, we'll see if he has three eyes!" Dean Min changed his usual friendly face and showed a hint of murderous intent.
"How can you talk like that in front of the leaders of the Health Bureau?" Director Tan reminded him with a glare.
"Ah... leaders, please don't be offended. It's not that I'm arrogant, but those who deliberately stir up trouble are too hateful. The doctor-patient relationship is already tense, and they are deliberately fanning the flames behind the scenes for some ulterior interests. They should be severely punished."
Director Min quickly apologized to the three leaders of the Health Bureau.
"Dean Min is a sentimental person, I understand. Go and deal with it quickly."
Section Chief Zhang's expression was very gentle.
Not long after, Vice President Min brought the person directly to the conference room.
When the deceased's family saw Li Quan, they immediately became emotional.
"Wu Dong, sit down. The leaders of the Health Bureau and the director of our hospital and other important leaders are all here. If you think you can solve the problem with your fists, I will call the security guards to come in and solve it with you."
Vice President Min shouted sternly.
Immediately, the deceased's family members sat down with their fists clenched.
"You can make me behave myself if you want. As long as your Huier Hospital gives me enough compensation and deals with the doctor involved, I will stop making trouble." The grief on the deceased's father's face was real, and the cunning in his eyes was also real.
He also knew that his son was dead, and what he had to do now was to get a large sum of compensation.
Li Quan looked at the middle-aged couple with a mocking look.
"Mr. Wu, what poison killed your son? Don't you have any idea?" Li Quan asked coldly.
