It was almost eleven o’clock as he sent away the last patient.
After the acupuncture for an old teacher, Brucille’s hand was numb, and more than a hundred needles were all inserted.
After handing over the work in the office to Jia Xue, he came to Donald’s office while humming a tune.
There was a ashtray on the desk, which was filled with cigarette butts and had a strong smell of smoke in the office.
It proved that there were other people in the house. There seemed to be more than one person coming on the tea table in front of the sofa.
At this time, Donald’s face was bright red. It seemed that he had either been promoted or given a bonus.
Brucille sat at the other side of the desk and said with interest, “Director, is your proud face going to be promoted?”
“Don’t talk nonsense. It’s just that the Sanitary Bureau has approved the review of our San Jia Hospital and promised to increase support to build a medical building for us this year. This is a good thing for our people in the Spring River City.”
“The director’s words are right. With a good director like you, we really can’t find him even if we use the mine lamp.”
Donald put away his excitement and looked at Brucille in front of him. This guy would never come to the temple for nothing. He asked, “Today is your consultation day. It seems that you have seen all the patients who have come to see me?”
“Yes, yes, of course. It’s mainly about Monique, you see…”
Hearing that he was going to talk to him about Monique, Donald said helplessly, “It’s extraordinary. You should know that this matter is not actually not under the hospital’s supervision. Strictly speaking, the medical dispute Committee is a subordinate of the Sanitary Bureau. The person involved should be dealt with by the hospital. In principle, we agree with this opinion.”
“And this matter has no impact on Dr. Ching. All the losses are paid by the hospital. Every year, similar things will happen in the hospital. We have a safety measure. I understand that you are eager to protect your wife, but we must respect the facts. Being a doctor should be more realistic, shouldn’t you?”
Brucille kept a smile on his face as he watched Donald tell lies.
After Mr. Chao finished performing, he said, “Director, there is one key factor missing in the identification book of the patient’s death, which is that the patient is suspected of drinking driving that night. But our hospital did not provide any evidence. Did the doctor on duty leak it?”
Hearing this, Donald’s face suddenly turned pale.
He said nervously, “Where did you hear these nonsense from? This involves the authority of our hospital. Wine driving is a crime. This is not a trivial matter. The hospital didn’t write the identification letter, which means that his blood does not contain alcohol at all.”
Brucille put his hand on the table and played a recording. He said, “The insurance company has suspected that there is something wrong with the report released by the hospital. They have already submitted the documents and carried out a review. You don’t have much time. If the insurance company finds out that the hospital is lying, then you, as the Director, will be suspected of cheating and protecting the case together. Only God will know that you can still sit under your butt for a few more days.”
Donald was suddenly speechless. Because the incident had not yet been handled completely, and it could only be investigated through the autopsy.
Donald had not drunk anything yet. Brucille said, “I also found one thing. Someone did something on a written surveillance video, but I was lucky to get the 41th lost scene. I hope the hospital can give Monique a very reasonable explanation.”
“In addition, I think Dr. Lee of the infirmary is old. His brain is full of glue, and the deputy director of the Emergency Department has signed such a ridiculous letter of judgment of death. His professional level is doubtful. What do you think?”
At this time, Donald was completely shocked. He thought that there was a big problem in everything.
When he woke up, Brucille had already left the office, and he lost to Brucille in several previous confrontations.
If this matter was not handled properly, it was very likely that he, the Director, would pack up and go home in advance.
Therefore, he immediately made the final decision as a Director.
Brucille cheered as soon as he arrived at Monique’s house. “Honey, you’re amazing. The director just called me and said that the specialist had a second analysis of my surgery. I did nothing wrong in the latest result.”
“I said that there were many bright people in the world. I knew that Mr. Chao would handle this matter impartially.”
Brucille’s understanding of Donald had reached a new level through this matter. He originally thought that Donald was just messing around in the hospital, but now it seemed impossible. This guy might be black-skinned.
Brucille did not care where Dr. Lee and the deputy director of the Emergency Department went. He only cared if his wife’s work could go on as usual.
In the evening, Donald called Brucille and asked him to have dinner.
Brucille knew that this meal was unusual. Donald would confess something to him in exchange that he could continue to be the Director.
He would even make some other benefits. Because the initiative was in the hands of Brucille, now Donald was just a monkey in his hand. He could do whatever he wanted.
In the old Chinese restaurant, Donald looked calm and didn’t look energetic as if he was sitting in the Director’s office.
Seeing that Brucille came over and waved to him from afar, Brucille sat down and picked up a porcelain jar from the 80s and poured a glass of water for Brucille.
“This kind of medicine was very common in the 80s. At that time, I was still a barefoot doctor. At that time, a serious cold could kill people. The medical skills passed down to me by my master were of little use. In the 83 years, it was difficult to produce a pregnant woman. How could I know how to use a knife? I just looked at one big and one small one. The ambulance arrived on the 2nd day. People were all pulling back and preparing to be buried…”
This was a sad and sympathetic story. Brucille had prepared all kinds of means to deal with Donald. He didn’t expect this guy to put on a bitter show with him.
He went on to say, “Afterwards, I went back to the Medical University to study. I graduated from the 27 students in the whole class with the best grades. Later, I was assigned to the county hospital, which was the predecessor of the People’s Hospital. I became the Director from a small doctor to the present. I have been working for more than 30 years. I am extraordinary. I left my best days to the doctors. Am I wrong to cure more patients?”
As he spoke, Donald wiped the tears off his eyes with a tissue on the table.
“Well, Director, in fact, your story is very touching. I think you can go on this way.”
