University Doctor and His Fragile Patients

"Fu Xiaocui and her husband took advantage of this point, that's why they dared to blatantly demand the doctor's year-end bonus at the clinic's door."

"How is this any different from robbery and extortion?"

"Who thought this couple was pitiful before?!"

"But...no matter what, Fu Xiaocui's husband is still dead, and respect for the deceased is paramount..."

"You can hold yourself to high standards, but there's no need to morally coerce others!"

"..."

—

"After the patient vomited blood, the other family members we had not seen before also quickly arrived."

"And they started making a commotion at the clinic's entrance."

"They claimed that the patient was angered to death by our hospital, but when the police came, we provided surveillance footage that proved we were not at fault."

"But after that day, it was as if Fu Xiaocui was clinging to me. Whenever I was on duty, she would come to the hospital, kneeling to borrow money."

Su Bingbing looked at Chen Mu with even more compassion.

But she couldn't help but ask, "Since it was already clear that every time Fu Xiaocui came to find you, there was no legitimate issue, didn't the Renmin Hospital think of protecting its staff and doctors, and provide some measures to deal with this situation?"

Su Bingbing actually knew the answer.

Asking this question impulsively in such a situation wasn't the wisest choice.

Faced with such a problem.

There would definitely be people saying that the hospital and Chen Mu were both victims.

But in Su Bingbing's past work experience, her work unit would protect her from being affected by such nonsense.

And at that time, Chen Mu.

Was an emergency department doctor.

Chen Mu's job should be to face patients and treat them.

Not to deal with such troublesome and disruptive behavior.

—

"Yes, before I also felt sorry for the hospital facing such incompetent doctors, but looking back now, perhaps there was some negligence on their part back then."

"From start to finish, the one most criticized turned out to be the one most undermined. As an onlooker now, I don't even know what to say."

"What else is there to say? Now whenever I speak, I feel like I owe Dr. Chen an apology. I shouldn't have blindly believed everything I read online."

"I also cursed Dr. Chen online back in the day... sigh..."

"That's why I always feel, if I were the unlucky one dealing with someone like Fu Xiaocui, I might have already been criticized by public opinion to the point of suicide. In comparison, Dr. Chen is still relatively strong."

"Can you believe that if Dr. Chen had actually committed suicide due to public opinion back then, those keyboard warriors would still say online that such a grown man couldn't handle the pressure?"

"Exactly! I saw similar comments before; it almost made me furious!"

"..."

—

Chen Mu sighed: "The hospital did try to mediate, but it's not as simple as you think. First, at that time, Fu Xiaocui's husband was still a patient, and even though he owed most of the medical fees, his condition wasn't suitable for transfer."

"Moreover, the couple was extremely troublesome, so the hospital didn't dare to really throw them out."

"If we had really followed normal procedures to discharge the patient, the couple could have easily made the hospital trend online, and our hospital might have been investigated."

"Although saying this now might sound pessimistic, the online sentiment in those years was truly like that."

Su Bingbing: "..."

Investigation group: "..."

Alright then.

What Chen Mu said is indeed the truth.

Never mind those two years' online sentiment being as Chen Mu described.

In fact.

Even to this day.

The online sentiment is still as Chen Mu just described.

Facing the gazes around him.

Chen Mu sighed again, then helplessly said, "Actually, the hospital was not overly afraid of the investigation, because whether it was the hospital back then or myself being morally coerced, we hadn't done anything wrong."

"But what we truly feared was the so-called onlookers on the internet."

"These people won't believe the truth of the matter; they only care about what they want to believe."

"If back then we had let this couple continue their antics, definitely some so-called 'justice warriors' would go to the hospital's entrance to paint it with oil or block other emergency patients, affecting the normal medical order."

—

"What Dr. Chen said, I also believe."

"I previously read interviews with some so-called 'justice warriors.' They are not necessarily real justice warriors; they just use the pretense of justice to vent their frustrations!"

"What really gets to me is that even though Dr. Chen was already very clear-headed back then, he still ended up in such a mess."

"And I have seen how fans can justify anything! The Fu Xiaocui family kept saying that Mr. Chen's surgery had mistakes, so what's the use of bringing this up now."

"Exactly, with so much back and forth, someone could claim that because of holding a grudge, Chen Mu intentionally made surgical errors."

"Unfounded speculation and slander require legal responsibility."

"Wow! A doctor who understands the law too!"

"..."

—

"During the process, the hospital also thought about switching them to another attending doctor."

"But they really were like a hot potato, and they specifically latched onto me."

"And besides..."

"I always lived alone, the kind of situation where one person eats and the whole family isn't hungry."

"To stop them from making trouble, I still paid for their medical bills, hospitalization fees, and other charges while they repeatedly knelt in my office."

Su Bingbing was stunned: "Dr. Chen, you're really..."

Chen Mu forced a smile: "At that time, I didn't think much, just wanted to quickly get rid of this plague couple so the hospital could return to normal."

Listening to Chen Mu's words.

Su Bingbing suddenly thought of a possibility.

Su Bingbing: "I remember, your family conditions were relatively affluent?"

Chen Mu didn't speak.

But his expression said it all.

Su Bingbing: "So, fifty thousand was just a small amount to you at the time, so you chose to settle the matter peacefully, thinking you were spending a tiny amount of money to buy peace?"

Chen Mu covered his face, "Don't say it anymore..."

The past isn't worth revisiting.

—

"Fifty thousand a small amount???"

"Depends on the family. For a wealthy family, it might indeed be a small amount."

"Wasn't it reported online before that Dr. Chen lived in a courtyard house when he was in the Imperial Capital? Think about how much a courtyard house costs there; is fifty thousand still money?"

"I'm going to cry; every time I see Dr. Chen eating instant noodles so skillfully, I thought we were both broke, but he betrayed the broke people's ranks!"

"Maybe back then, in Dr. Chen's eyes, fifty thousand was no different from five bucks in our eyes."

"Hiss! If I put myself in a wealthy person's shoes, although being morally coerced is unpleasant, if five bucks could buy peace, maybe I'd spend it?"

"But he still suffered due to his innocence..."

"Such people are willing to morally coerce strangers for sums as large as fifty thousand; once they've been paid, they'll definitely latch onto him!"

"Young people, they all have to suffer losses at some point."

"If it were a clinical mistake, I'd feel it was fair, but this kind of loss is truly nauseating!"

"This has little to do with whether Dr. Chen had money at the time; Fu Xiaocui and her husband's actions were simply disgusting!"

"If everyone acted like those two, even if Dr. Chen didn't leave Renmin Hospital, he'd have been drained dry!"

"..."
