Then he turned around and politely said to Jiang Lan, “Sorry for the long wait. Can we talk for a moment about the death of our patient Li Xifang?”
Compared with the Yao couple, he was much more polite towards Jiang Lan. No matter if he was in the wrong or really wanted to make compensation, at least his sincerity seemed sufficient.
Following the adage don’t hit someone who smiles at you, Jiang Lan followed the person in charge to the office next door to hear what the hospital had to say.
After they sat down, a nurse came and brought in some fruit snacks and milk that children liked. It was obvious that they were specially prepared for Jiang Chi.
But Jiang Chi didn’t even look at them and just sat next to Jiang Lan.
“No need for him to step aside?” The person in charge signaled Jiang Chi with his eyes.
“No need. The one who passed away was his grandmother who raised him. He should know the truth.” Jiang Lan said.
Seeing that he insisted, the person in charge no longer had any concerns and carefully told Jiang Lan the results of the hospital’s investigation.
“We checked the ECG monitor data of bed number three and found that the patient lost vital signs at around 12:35. But before that, the physiological parameters displayed by the monitor were all normal, and the patient’s vital signs were stable, without any warning of danger.”
According to common sense, Li Xifang’s condition at the time should have been very stable and safe, and even if the attending doctor was present, he might not have discovered the problem. But she died so suddenly.
“We’ve had someone check the ECG monitor, and it’s not malfunctioning.” The person in charge tried his best to be sincere. “We even checked the corridor surveillance, and we can confirm that apart from the patient in bed number two and Li Xifang, no one else entered or left the ward at the time, so we can rule out human factors.”
“Although it sounds like I’m trying to shirk responsibility, this is the truth. Li Xifang had a cardiac arrest and died of natural causes. It could be heart failure, or it could be caused by some other undiscovered factors…”
The person in charge was very responsible: “But no matter what, we have a certain responsibility for not discovering it in time. Including when Jiang Chi was in danger and called for help, the nurse station did not respond in time, which led to a series of conflicts and accidents. The hospital is willing to bear this responsibility and will provide corresponding compensation.”
Just like before, he pushed a compensation agreement to Jiang Lan.
Jiang Lan took a quick look and was surprised for a moment: “This compensation amount…?”
“This is the highest compensation the hospital has agreed to offer after an emergency meeting.” The person in charge said, “It is the hospital’s responsibility, and we will actively make up for it and will not shirk responsibility. But if it is not the hospital’s fault, we will not be taken advantage of. You deserve this compensation.”
The other party’s attitude was frank, so Jiang Lan regained some favorable impression of the hospital.
After asking Jiang Chi for his opinion, he finally accepted the compensation.
The person in charge was relieved upon seeing this and apologized and thanked them again and again.
Before saying goodbye and leaving, Jiang Lan thought of Dr. Yu who was secretly causing trouble and asked for Dr. Yu’s information.
“The psychiatrist in charge of Yao Shun? I remember it was Yu Qishan?” The person in charge searched on the computer for a while and pulled up the information for Jiang Lan to confirm: “This is it…”
Jiang Lan looked at the photo on the information sheet and frowned, “This is not the person we saw. He looks different.”
The person in charge shook his head firmly: “Impossible, he is the one in charge of Yao Shun, there is no one else.”
Jiang Lan’s eyes showed deep thought: “Can I see the surveillance footage of the corridor and hall today?”
Doctor Yu was not an ordinary person. Jiang Lan initially thought that he just happened to work in the hospital, but now it seemed that he was an imposter. If that was the case, why did he sneak into the hospital? Was it a coincidence that he targeted Jiang Chi, or was he well prepared?
Jiang Chi’s obviously abnormal condition before, as well as that familiar aura, made Jiang Lan extremely confused.
There was nothing that could not be seen in the surveillance video, so the person in charge readily agreed to take him to the monitoring room to watch the surveillance video. However, as soon as they came out, they ran into the Yao couple who had also come over.
Mother Yao held the compensation agreement and said angrily, “Are you treating us like fools? My son got into trouble in the hospital, and you are going to waive the medical expenses and only pay 10,000 yuan?”
The person in charge’s face turned cold: “Yao Shun’s medical expenses have added up to a lot.”
“How much can it be? I see you don’t want to compensate us at all?” Mother Yao yelled.
“This is a reasonable compensation given by the hospital after a meeting. If you feel it is inappropriate, you can tell us how much is appropriate and we can communicate again.”
Mother Yao glared and said, “At least 500,000, if not 600,000. If it’s less, we’ll see you in court. Don’t blame us for finding reporters to expose you then.”
The relationship was completely ruined. She stopped pretending and started making threats openly.
She thought smugly that no hospital was not afraid of being exposed.
Who would have thought that the person in charge would not show weakness, his expression was still polite, but his words were not so polite: “The hospital does not accept threats or blackmail. If you want to take legal action, we will accompany you. But I must remind you first that unreasonable claims can be investigated as extortion. Six hundred thousand is already a huge amount. Once convicted, the sentence will be more than three years but less than ten years in prison.”
Then he turned to Jiang Lan and said, “Mr. Jiang, you also heard what Ms. Yao said just now. It was blatant blackmail. If we really want to sue each other in the future, I will have to trouble you to testify in court.”
Jiang Lan was happy to see Mother Yao get humiliated, so he agreed with a smile: “No problem.”
Mother Yao was angry and embarrassed, and at the same time she was a little nervous. The other party was so confident that it was clear that he was not going to give her the money.
She was certainly not afraid of a lawsuit, but her suing the hospital was not the same as the hospital suing her. What if what this person said was true? Wouldn’t she not get any money and have to spend several years in jail?
“Don’t think we’ll be scared and not pursue the matter just because you said that.” Mother Yao said sternly, “We have something else to do today. We’ll come talk to you in two days. Otherwise, just wait for the reporters to expose you!”
After saying this, she hurriedly took her husband away.
The person in charge sneered: “Bullying the weak and fearing the strong.”
If they were not allowed to give it a try, these people would really think that every hospital was so easy to bully and they could make a fortune just by making a fuss.
After sending the Yao couple away, the person in charge took Jiang Lan to the monitoring room to watch the surveillance.
The security guard fast-forwarded the surveillance video to the noon time period. Jiang Lan pointed at the man in white clothes who appeared on the surveillance video and said, “That’s him.”
The doctor in the picture was wearing a white coat, had a fair and gentle appearance, and always had a gentle smile on his face. On the work badge on his chest, the name column clearly read “Yu Qishan”.
But he was not Yu Qishan.
