Like other departnts, the gynecology ward operates on a group system, with many beds divided into six groups, each led by a senior doctor such as a professor. The group led by Du Haiwei is one of the departnt’s groups. The leader of the fourth group is a female doctor surnad Hu, who is older than Du Haiwei.
Doctor Zuoliang ntioned that the fourth group’s tone wasn’t very good, suggesting that the doctors in the fourth group might be difficult to deal with?
"What happened?" Doctor Hu ca over with her team to inquire about the situation, noticing soone pointing at her subordinate.
"He said he saw this female doctor talking to my wife yesterday, instructing her on how to take the dication, which led to my wife taking the wrong dosage and ending up in the ergency room. Now, my wife’s body is experiencing abnormalities, and you need to take responsibility for this." The husband of the patient hurriedly complained again.
"Doctor Su, is it true that you instructed his wife to take the wrong dosage?" Doctor Hu turned to ask her subordinate.
Doctor Su was so astonished that she nearly scread: "Impossible. Isn’t that patient Doctor Du’s patient? She’s not my patient, so why would I be involved? Teacher Hu, everyone knows this rule. The patient may not understand, but we doctors certainly do."
Patients are managed by their respective attending doctors, and other doctors should not intervene in a patient’s treatnt without an invitation from the attending doctor, as per industry protocol. This point was previously ntioned.
Doctor Su’s statent made sense. Doctor Hu turned back to ask the family mber, "Are you sure it’s her?"
"Did you mistake soone else?" The patient’s husband had to ask Brother Luo again.
Brother Luo looked at Doctor Su, frowning deeply: "It’s definitely her." Then looking at Xie Wanying’s side, recalling how Xie Wanying didn’t just open her mouth to defend herself when faced with complaints, he realized: His sister was right, Dr. Xie is different from other doctors.
Just then, the ergency departnt sent a patient up to the gynecology ward.
The family mber approached the patient and asked, "Wife, tell , who told you how to take the dication yesterday? Didn’t you get the dication and seek a doctor to ask how to take it yesterday?"
"It was—" The female patient raised her head.
"Was it her, or her?" The patient’s husband pointed to both Xie Wanying and Doctor Su, asking his wife to identify who the true culprit was.
The facial features of the two female doctors were distinct, with one having short hair and the other long, making it easy to tell them apart. The female patient quickly identified both individuals and told her husband, "She was the one who prescribed the dication, and the other one was the one who told how to take the dication from the dicine bag afterwards."
"See, I told you I didn’t get it wrong." Brother Luo imdiately added.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Doctor Su. Now, the patient had personally pointed her out, and there was another witness testifying. How would Doctor Su explain this situation?
"Doctor Su." Doctor Hu looked at her subordinate, her voice rising slightly as if reminding and warning her.
The patient’s family complained; if not clarified, it could beco a dical dispute and incident.
Doctor Su squinted her eyes, staring at the female patient’s face, trying hard to recall the details from the previous afternoon, then confessed to Doctor Hu and the other doctors: "I think I rember."
"Did you see her?"
"I was very busy yesterday afternoon. After finishing a surgery, this woman grabbed my sleeve, insisting on asking how to take the dication."
"Did you tell her how to take the dication?"
"I told her to follow what’s written on the dicine bag. I don’t know her dical condition. I’m not her attending doctor, so how could I guide her on dication."
