University Doctor and His Fragile Patients

"Wasn’t Fu Xiaocui denying there was anything wrong before? Why did she suddenly admit the wine was brought by her and that she has seen the informed consent form?"

"Is it possible that now, hospitals have advanced surveillance systems, and all their equipment is high-end?"

"Yes, exactly HD video recordings. All the equipment in our hospital is in HD to prevent trouble during medical disputes!"

"Nowadays, everyone is on edge. There wasn’t a need for such high-end equipment before, but after a few incidents, we got scared into doing it."

"..."

—

After sobbing several times, Fu Xiaocui spoke again, "At that time, I bought him wine out of desperation."

She cried pitifully.

There might be people in the live stream’s comment section who sympathize with Fu Xiaocui at this moment.

But.

At least among the people present, no one truly sympathized with Fu Xiaocui.

And no one showed any sympathetic emotions towards her.

Feeling the cold stares around her, Fu Xiaocui didn’t care much.

She continued her adept crying act, "After my husband woke up, he said lying down was uncomfortable and a bit painful, so I went to find a doctor. At that time, I found Dr. Chen. Dr. Chen, do you remember when I looked for you?"

Chen Mu nodded, then said, "Under normal circumstances, to relieve his pain, he might need a postoperative pain pump. But since you couldn’t afford it, it wasn’t used post-surgery."

"But your husband wasn’t the first to not use the pain pump."

"That kind of pain is tolerable."

"Moreover."

"If it’s not unbearable, the hospital doesn’t recommend using a pain pump. Using it excessively isn’t good."

Chen Mu was simply analyzing the situation from a healthcare professional’s perspective.

But listening to Chen Mu’s explanation.

Fu Xiaocui cried even harder, "What do you mean by using it excessively isn’t good? Clearly, you just didn’t want to spend more money on our family by using the pain pump for my husband. You just wanted to save money!"

Chen Mu: "..."

Su Bingbing was utterly shocked.

Completely stunned by Fu Xiaocui’s boldness.

"The surgery costs and hospitalization fees, concerning your husband’s life and death, Dr. Chen had already helped to cover at that time."

"Do you think Dr. Chen is also obligated to pay for the pain pump for your family?"

"Or is it..."

"In your eyes, if your husband hadn’t died, should Dr. Chen also cover the subsequent nursing and even nutrition fees for your family?"

In these years, Su Bingbing had traveled far and wide for her programs.

She had seen all kinds of people: those with dignity, those without.

Odd ones, and extremely odd ones.

But among all the bizarre individuals she had encountered, the Fu Xiaocui in front of her was still one of the most notable.

Not only was she shameless, but her reasoning was astonishing to a point beyond a normal person’s imagination.

Just listening to what Fu Xiaocui said, the sympathy in Su Bingbing’s gaze towards Chen Mu was undisguised.

Dr. Chen from back then was truly pitiable...

To face such an absurdity alone and not be crushed by the situation, giving up medicine, was already a miracle.

Facing Su Bingbing’s questioning.

Fu Xiaocui didn’t feel there was anything wrong with her.

She spoke with unshaken confidence, "Otherwise, as the saying goes, when you help someone, you help them to the end!"

Su Bingbing: "..."

Help someone to the end.

Such words.

Can they really be used in this context?

Su Bingbing truly couldn’t comprehend Fu Xiaocui’s reasoning.

Yet the persistent and boldly assured Fu Xiaocui continued, "Chen Mu is a doctor, his job is far better paid than ours, he even has a year-end bonus. To families like ours, affording a few hundred for a pain pump might be impossible, but for Chen Mu, even if he spared a little from his finger, we could afford and use the pain pump."

"But, Chen Mu is a person with dark thoughts and is very stingy!"

Su Bingbing: "..."

—

"???"

"I’ve only ever heard of the saying that a dog bites Lü Dongbin without recognizing a good heart, but I never thought I’d see a real-life version."

"Dr. Chen, though morally pressured, gave them the medical fees to stop them from making a scene, but he truly contributed. He should be the family’s great benefactor, right? In the end, was helping the wrong choice?"

"Have these two completely forgotten how they begged on their knees in his office for him to cover the expenses, and now, with the surgery fee given, they’ve clung on for good?"

"Following Fu Xiaocui’s logic, forget about the pain pump, should Dr. Chen then personally hire a nurse because she can’t care for her husband?"

"I’ve seen unreasonable things, but this is truly unparalleled."

"I thought I was here to uphold justice, but it turns out I was aiding oppression."

"Did anyone notice that when Fu Xiaocui said these things, Dr. Chen didn’t even show any anger?"

"He’s probably become numb to such talk by now."

"..."

—

"Are you... serious..."

Though Su Bingbing always enjoyed creating dramatic effects, hearing Fu Xiaocui’s words left her with a complex expression.

All at once.

It was hard to decipher whether Fu Xiaocui genuinely thought so, or was being abstract.

Facing Su Bingbing’s incredulous look.

Fu Xiaocui confidently nodded and said, "Of course I’m serious about what I said. I haven’t said anything wrong, so how could I not be serious?!"

Su Bingbing: "..."

Sister, do you actually think there’s logic in what you’re saying?

Under the unspeakably complex gazes of Su Bingbing and the investigators.

Fu Xiaocui once again.

With an overly assertive tone, she spoke.

"If it weren’t for Chen Mu not willing to spend money on a pain pump for my husband, and not using it post-surgery, none of the subsequent events would’ve happened!"

"All the disasters in our family were brought by Chen Mu!"

Su Bingbing: "..."

Even though mentally prepared to some extent, when Fu Xiaocui spoke, it was still hard not to be shocked once again by this woman’s incredible thought process.

Fu Xiaocui: "My husband was already a postoperative patient then, much weaker than a normal person. How could he endure such pain?"

"When someone can’t bear the pain, they’ll look for other ways to vent, to make it less painful."

Ways to vent?

Su Bingbing felt she caught onto something key, "So, what way did the deceased choose to vent to resist the pain at that time?"

Fu Xiaocui bit her lip, her gaze flickering.

After a moment of contemplation, she gave her answer, "Hit me..."

"Hit you?" Su Bingbing found it incomprehensible, "Even if he hit you, it wouldn’t truly reduce his pain. Plus, he was a patient with his stomach cut and very weak, didn’t you try to dodge when he hit you?"

Fu Xiaocui shook her head, tears streaming down, "No, you’re not me, you can’t understand my situation at that time."

"As long as he was a little stern, I would instinctively be scared. Even though he was a patient who had just undergone surgery, as long as he showed the slightest bit of a fierce attitude, I couldn’t help but be afraid..."

Tears rolled down Fu Xiaocui’s face.

When dealing with women like this, typically, Su Bingbing would sympathize with their plight.

But in front of someone like Fu Xiaocui.

Su Bingbing couldn’t muster any sympathy.

Admittedly.

According to Fu Xiaocui, her suffering was caused by her husband.

But what did any of it have to do with Chen Mu? Why is the one who did wrong Fu Xiaocui’s husband, or Fu Xiaocui herself?

Yet back then...

In the end, the one to bear all the judgment and insults was Chen Mu, an innocent doctor?

Su Bingbing didn’t find Fu Xiaocui pitiable.

She only felt it was unfair to Chen Mu!!!
