Chapter 1

Medical dispute,

It was six oclock in the evening, and the sky was not dark yet

Du Xias bedroom was covered by blackout curtains. Except for the power light of the mobile phone that was charging at the bedside, there was no light at all. It was pitch black.

Du Xia was half wrapped in a thin blanket and was sleeping soundly with her eyes closed.

The next second, the mobile phone on the bedside table rang.

The alarm rang.

Du Xia immediately sat up from the bed with the thin blanket in her arms.

Because the amplitude of getting up was too large, the wound on her arm was pulled. Du Xia, who had not yet woken up from her sleep, was completely awakened by the pain.

She sat on the bed with the blanket in her arms and was distracted for a while, and then lay back down and squinted for a few minutes.

After she recovered, she stretched out her arm to turn on the light in the room.

After squinting her eyes to adapt to the dazzling light, Du Xia picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table and turned off the alarm.

Du Xia was supposed to work the night shift at the hospital this week.

As an attending physician in obstetrics, Du Xia usually gets up at 6 pm, exercises, eats, and then packs up and walks to the hospital when she has to work the night shift.

But Du Xia doesnt have to go to the hospital today.

When she returned home from the hospital this morning, she was euphemistically suspended by the hospital because of a medical dispute.

Its not appropriate to say that she was suspended, because the hospital did not give her a suspension penalty report, and she was paid the basic salary every month as usual.

The external statement was just to let her go home and rest for a while and heal her injuries.

Du Xia understood that the hospital made this decision more for her safety.

After all, the patients family is a group of crazy people, and the patients husband even stabbed her with a knife this morning.

Although the other party has been detained, the patient still has many relatives making trouble in the hospital. It is indeed unsafe for her to go to work in the hospital again, which is easy to provoke the patients familys hostility towards the hospital and her.

Du Xia is not unfamiliar with the term "medical dispute". In recent years, the doctor-patient relationship has been very tense. Various news caused by medical disputes will be hotly reported on the Internet every once in a while.

She just didnt expect that one day she would become the protagonist of a medical dispute.

The matter is also very simple:

Last night, Du Xia admitted a pregnant woman who had placental abruption due to a fall. The situation was critical at the time and a caesarean section had to be arranged immediately.

According to the report and Du Xias manual diagnosis and evaluation, although the fetus is only 28 weeks old now, its weight should have reached about 1.5kg. After leaving the mothers body, the survival rate of the fetus can reach more than 60%.

At that time, the mothers condition was very dangerous. After Du Xia discussed with the mothers family, he immediately decided to perform a caesarean section on the mother.

At that time, the patients family also agreed to the operation and signed the informed consent form very happily.

The first half of the operation went smoothly, and a 1.63kg baby girl was successfully delivered from the mothers body. Because it was premature, the fetus inevitably had lung dysplasia and was immediately transferred to the pediatric department for treatment.

But just when Du Xia was peeling off the placenta, an accident happened.

Due to the severe adhesion of the umbilical cord and the severe bleeding of the parturient, Du Xia could only consider removing the parturients uterus to stop the bleeding and save her life after trying many times and failing to stop the bleeding.

In the case of the parturients life, Du Xia actually did not think of the possibility that the family would refuse to sign the notice in hand.

Although Du Xia had heard about such things from the seniors in the department, she was a young person after all, and the parturient was only 23 years old, and her husband did not look old either, so she took it for granted that young people should be easier to communicate with.

However, the midwife went to negotiate with the parturients family twice and told them the current situation one by one.

But the family, who were originally easy to talk to, said that they were unwilling to sign anything and kept begging the doctor to save his wifes uterus.

Because this is the first child of the couple, not only did they give birth to a daughter, but also a premature baby.

He also saw it when the pediatrician pushed the child into the elevator just now. The child was wrinkled, thin and small. It was said that the lungs were not well developed. It was not known whether the child could survive.

If his wifes uterus was removed, if something happened to the child, wouldnt his family be completely extinct?

"You cant not have the operation. Your wifes condition is critical. Two bags of blood have been transfused. The blood is flowing down like a tap that is not closed. If you dont sign, your wifes life will be in danger. We are not trying to scare you."

However, no matter how the nurse persuaded, the other party just held his head with both hands and kept muttering:

"You cant remove it, you cant remove it. If you remove it, my family will be extinct. I am the only son in my family. It has been a single-line inheritance for five generations. You cant remove my wifes uterus no matter what."

The other party was stubborn, and Du Xia and his colleagues had no choice but to give up persuading the family members and patients, take the right of emergency treatment, and prepare for the operation while reporting to the hospital.

However, before the hospital could inform the results of the treatment, the parturient regained consciousness. Du Xia quickly explained the current situation to the parturient, and the parturient signed the informed consent form.

At this moment, no one could feel the rapid elapse of her life more directly than the parturient. In the face of the uterus and her own life, she chose her own life without much hesitation.

After the parturient signed the form, she fainted due to blood loss.

After receiving the informed consent form, Du Xia immediately performed a hysterectomy on the parturient. The operation went smoothly. After suturing the wound of the parturient, the nurse transferred the patient to the intensive care unit for observation.

After the operation, Du Xia felt that she had performed the operation with the consent of the patient, and there was nothing irregular, so she didnt think much about it. After leaving the operating room, she went straight back to the duty room.

When she handed over her shift in the morning, she was doing her rounds and handing over her shift to her colleagues as usual. However, as soon as she entered the intensive care unit and asked the nurse about the patients condition, she was slashed on the arm by the husband of the parturient with a fruit knife.

At that time, the mans knife was going to stab Du Xia in the chest. Fortunately, she heard the nurses scream and quickly stretched out her hand to block it, so she escaped the fatal knife.

Du Xia didnt expect that one day someone would point a knife at her.

She has a good temper and is patient with patients. Her colleagues in the hospital and patients in the department say that she is easy to get along with. Before today, she never thought that she would encounter a medical dispute.

After the man hurt someone, he was a little panicked when he saw Du Xia bleeding so much. He held the fruit knife tightly in his hand and kept telling his resentment.

It seemed that this could make his knife-wielding behavior more reasonable.

The thing that made the man resentful was nothing more than that one thing -

Du Xia removed his wifes uterus without his consent.

After he returned to the ward, he checked online. Someone on the Internet said that she had heavy bleeding during a caesarean section, and the surgeon was good at medicine, and quickly stopped her bleeding and saved her uterus.

He was more certain that his wifes condition was not serious enough to remove her uterus. He only needed to stop the bleeding, which sounded not difficult.

Thinking of his mother calling to ask about the situation just now, he told her the truth, and the other side couldnt stand it, the man felt that he was right.

Their Li family had been a single-line family for five generations, and it was about to end in his generation.

The mother also asked on the phone whether they didnt give the doctor a red envelope, so the doctor who performed the operation was not good, so he removed her daughter-in-laws uterus, which was deliberately to cut off the descendants of the Li family!

When the man heard this, he immediately thought of how old Du Xia was just now.

After hanging up the phone, he immediately ran to the first floor. The situation of each doctor in the hospital was posted on the public notice wall on the first floor.

The information of Du Xias photo was also posted above. She was 26 years old and a chief physician.

These words hurt the mans eyes like a needle tip:

A 26-year-old doctor, how long has he only graduated from school? How dare he - how dare he hold a scalpel to perform surgery on patients!

Seeing that most of the chief physicians around him were in their 30s and 40s, and Du Xia was the youngest chief physician in the hospital, the man immediately felt that he must have met a quack.

After walking back to the ward with a lot on his mind, the man looked at his wife who was still lying in bed because of the effect of anesthesia, and thought of his daughter who was in the incubator in the pediatric department...

When his head was dizzy, he couldnt help but think of his parents sad cries on the phone just now.

His heart sank again and again, and he unconsciously felt full of resentment towards Du Xia.

In the morning, after his parents and his father-in-law and mother-in-law rushed over, they looked at their daughters (daughter-in-laws) condition and couldnt help complaining a lot more.

The man was already full of resentment, and with the complaints from his family, he impulsively raised a knife to Du Xia who came to make rounds.

It happened too quickly, and the other party was very close to Du Xia. By the time everyone reacted, Du Xia had already leaned against the wall with his bleeding arm pressed down because of the pain.

Looking at the blood on the ground, everyone reacted belatedly and exclaimed:

"Doctor Du!"

"Xiao Xia!"

"Xiao Jie!"

Fortunately, it was probably the first time for the other party to hurt someone. At first, he stabbed Du Xia without caring about anything because of his anger.

When he really stabbed her arm and saw the blood, he felt weak in his heart and did not lose his mind to commit the crime again.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the group of female medical staff in the ward to subdue him before the security arrived.

The other party was holding a knife, and this alone was enough to make people feel scared.

Seeing their son using a knife to injure someone, the other family members woke up from their dreams, started shouting, and quickly reached out to pull their son (son-in-law).

The other party held a bloody fruit knife, dodged the hands of his relatives, and turned around in place, muttering:

"Quack! You quack! Its all your fault, its all your fault, its all your fault..."

Du Xia was stabbed so hard that she was exhausted after staying up all night, and now she lost so much blood, she immediately blacked out.

If she hadnt leaned against the wall of the ward, she would have fainted.

She was too dizzy to answer the other partys questions one after another, but the nurse who came with her couldnt help but muttered:

"Our doctor Du is not a quack. Although she is not very old, she is a top doctor of the Imperial Capital Medical Department. She also passed the examination for the title of attending physician. Her medical skills are well-known, okay?"

As soon as the young nurse said this, the older doctor next to her immediately reached out and pulled her in panic.

The other partys mental state now looks a bit wrong.

So theyd better not provoke him again, otherwise if the other party gets angry and hurts people with a knife, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Fortunately, the hospital security came quickly and quickly subdued the other party with a riot fork. When his parents saw their son being subdued by the security guard, they immediately rushed over and pulled their son back.

"Why did you arrest my son? Your doctor removed my daughter-in-laws uterus. She will never be able to have children again. My son was just angry and cut her with a knife. Nothing happened. Why did you arrest him?"

The security guard looked at the wound on Dr. Xiao Dus arm and ignored the other partys parents nonsense. He said he would take the perpetrator to the police station no matter what.

Doctor Xiao Du is the most beautiful girl in their Yunyi Hospital, and the rare thing is that she doesnt have a boyfriend.

From the doctors in various departments to the security guards at the door, all unmarried people in the hospital have some appreciation for her.

Now that Doctor Xiao Du is injured, they say that they cant let the murderer go just like that. Seeing Du Xias face pale with pain as she pressed the wound, one of the security guards pressed the mans hands harder.

After the security guard caught the man, Du Xia and her colleagues in the ward were relieved.

As soon as the crisis was resolved, the nurse next to Du Xia hurriedly helped her to suture the wound.

Looking at the wound on Du Xias arm, the nurse helped her and sighed with some regret: Doctor Du is good-looking, and her arms are white and tender. Now she has such a long wound on her arm, and she will definitely have a scar in the future.

When the mans parents saw their son being dragged away by the security guard, they immediately followed him. As they walked and shouted, the patients and their families in the hospital soon heard about it.

Dr. Du from the obstetrics department removed a womans uterus without the familys consent.

On the way to suture the wound, Du Xia heard many people whispering that if the uterus of their wife (daughter-in-law) was removed, they might do the same thing as the man.

In between the words, they empathized with the perpetrator.

Listening to these peoples discussions along the way, the nurse who helped Du Xia to bandage the wound could hardly suppress her anger and wanted to jump out and argue with the other party.

Fortunately, she still remembered the hospitals rule that it could not conflict with the patients family, so she could only be angry in her heart.

When it came to the surgical department to treat the wound, the nurse finally waited until there were no other patients around before she could complain to Du Xia and the doctor who helped Du Xia suture the wound.

"Its always like this. Whenever there is a medical dispute, everyone always points the finger at the doctor first, and very few people condemn the person who hurt others."

"Whats wrong with doctors treating patients and saving lives? In the situation yesterday, if Dr. Du didnt perform the removal surgery, would he have just watched the parturient bleed to death?"

The doctor who sutured Du Xia echoed the same sentiment:

"Thats right! Everyone thinks that doctors are paid so well, but how many people know that doctors only get 100 yuan for one operation."

"Sometimes I really dont understand, we work hard to study for a few more years than others, what on earth is it for, is it just to be stabbed a few times by the patients or family members we treated one day?"

After what happened just now, Du Xia was in no mood and had no energy to participate in this topic.

When she sutured the wound, she had to force herself to report the whole story to the hospital leaders who came.

Because there was a consent form signed by the parturient herself, Du Xia was right no matter how the other party made trouble.

However, the hospital considered more. Considering that if the patients family members made a fuss, it would have a bad impact on the hospital. In addition, Du Xias arm was injured and she could not go to the operating table for the time being, so she was simply allowed to go home and rest for a while.

Fearing that Du Xia would be dissatisfied, the hospital leaders were afraid that this top student who the hospital had spent a lot of money to recruit would be disappointed and resign directly after the injury healed. The hospital leaders also comforted her before she left.

The final result was that although it was not a punishment, Du Xia was also temporarily suspended.

Du Xia did not want to go back to the department to face the family members of the parturient, and did not even pack her things. She sent a message to the nurse who had a good relationship with her, asking her to help her temporarily collect the things in the office. After she came to get them, she went to the outpatient clinic to get the medicine for her injuries and went straight home.

Du Xia had been in the hospital for three or four years, and she was busy like a spinning top every day. This was the first time she had such a long period of free time.

Du Xia sat on the bed, and for a moment she didnt know how to arrange this rare "vacation" next.
