Chapter 68：

The worst case happened. The family members of the six patients who died of drug-resistant strains jointly took the Queen Mary Hospital to court.

Not only that, one of the patient’s family members worked at the Xiangjiang Daily, and she eloquently wrote a long article-the lives and tears behind the 84.8% miracle.

Every word is weeping and shocking.

The article pointed out that Queen Mary Hospital refused to inject new antibiotics for her father, which caused her father to struggle to survive the death of drug-resistant bacteria.

The article asks the hospital three times.

What is the hospital's criteria for judging whether a patient is suitable for injection of new antibiotics? Why does it insist that her father cannot inject new antibiotics?

I have seen the exemption agreement signed by the families of other patients. The agreement clearly states that the survival rate of the new antibiotic is about 26.7%. However, the international survival rate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection is only 12%, and it actually shows that the antibiotic effect is far greater than the agreement. Describe, obviously injecting antibiotics is more beneficial to the patient. Why does the hospital insist on refusing to inject new antibiotics for the patient when the patient’s family is willing to sign an exemption agreement?

The leaders of the hospital, under the same conditions, if your relatives were lying in the ward, would you still insist on not injecting them with new antibiotics?

Repeat three consecutive questions and point to the core of the problem. The masses always sympathize with the disadvantaged groups, and the family of this patient has a profound writing ability. After reading the whole article, it makes people feel sad. The ordinary people in Xiangjiang suddenly share the same enemy, and the doctor-patient conflict in Xiangjiang suddenly becomes tense.

Li Zheng put down the newspaper and rubbed his temples. It has been two days since Xu Mingsheng was discharged from the hospital. In the past two days, the events in Mary Hospital have continued to ferment. After the excited family members of the patient were persuaded by the police to retreat, they went from shouting to sitting. White wreaths filled the hospital gates. Men and women in mourning clothes seemed to have appointments. They began to line up every morning when the doctors went to work. Standing in two rows at the entrance of the hospital.

Just staring at you tightly if you don't speak or do anything, many doctors in Queen Mary Hospital are overwhelmed and ask for leave, and the whole hospital is in a state of semi-paralysis.

The contradiction between doctors and patients has been a problem since ancient times. This contradiction is insoluble and can only be alleviated. The slogan of mutual understanding is loud, but it is a matter of life. Who can guarantee that they will understand it?

The patient's family is unwilling to give up any hope that his family can survive, Li Zheng can understand.

The hospital took a great risk to save people with drugs that did not pass the biological test. Knowing that the chances of these patients having survived the toxicity of the drugs were pitifully small, the hospital gave up their injections in order to avoid risks. Li Zheng also Can understand.

But these two are precisely contradictory. He shook his head and smiled bitterly, trust is not easy.

The fingers of his right hand were bent and he tapped the table top with his knuckles. After all, Chen Sufen and Mary Hospital took all the responsibilities on themselves to protect him, and he could not watch.

"Li Zheng! BBC man of the century! BBC man of the century sent an invitation letter!" Zheng Lingling suddenly ran in, her face was full of excitement, looking at Li Zheng as if looking at something sparkling gold character.

The BBC’s people of the century, BBC’s largest talk show in the UK, every guest it invites is carefully selected and has a certain degree of influence in the world.

In the 1980s, Britain still had some afterglows of the empire. Its figures of the century, along with the American time magazine, were rated as the most influential media in the world.

Even many third-world leaders are proud to be on the BBC century figure, but such a media sent an invitation letter to Li Zheng, which made Zheng Lingling's heart stop beating with excitement.

People of the BBC Century? Li Zheng frowned slightly, he took the invitation letter from Zheng Lingling and opened it.

Dear Mr. Li Zheng, The People of the Century Program Group sincerely invites you to be interviewed in Room 1307, 13th Floor, BBC Building, London at 5 pm on the 28th of this month.

Signed: BBC People of the Century, February 24, 1983

"People of the Century! People of the Century! I remember that Mr. Edward had been on the People of the Century when he was the Governor of Hong Kong for the tenth anniversary! Back then, the headlines of the Xiangjiang Daily for a whole week were this!" Oh, my goodness, Li Zheng, you Take me there, okay, I will buy the air ticket myself, and I have also covered your air ticket. I can help you carry the bag and book the hotel. I will definitely not talk a lot, and be quiet as the setting board! "Zheng Lingling said in one breath, without panting.

Li Zheng couldn't help but laughed, "Contacting them, I said I agreed, but the interview location needs to be changed, just in the living room of Qingyuan, I still have some finishing work to complete." He said naturally.

When Li Zheng achieved fame in his last life, the influence of Man of the Century has been much less than that of Time Magazine. Thirty years later, when the person of the century wanted to interview Li Zheng at the time, he had to personally deliver the invitation letter to him and make an appointment for the interview.

The impression was deeply ingrained, and he couldn't turn around for a while, so that he did not take such a "small media" into his heart. Li Zheng would agree so swiftly and swiftly. It was also because of the Mary Hospital incident that he needed to speak out through a media. In the future, it is a better choice for people of the century to stay out of the public opinion than the local media participating in public opinion.

"Huh?" Zheng Lingling was dazed in place.

"Let the people of the century come to Qingyuan?" she repeated dumbfoundedly.

Li Zheng heard the doubts between Zheng Lingling's words and looked up in surprise, "Is there any problem?"

"No!" Zheng Lingling replied subconsciously. Then she instantly became a bitter face. Is there any problem? Of course there is a problem! This is a man of the century! !

Seeing Li Zheng lowered her head to do something again, Zheng Lingling opened her mouth and was speechless. She glanced at the contact information behind the invitation letter, and she felt a strange sense of pride in her heart.

In the future, when others smell it, she can say that she is a person who rejects people of the past century! Yes, in Zheng Lingling's view, Li Zheng's answer is no different from direct refusal. We must know that the Governor of Hong Kong at that time, Mr. Edward, still took a special flight from Hong Kong to London to accept the interview.

"There will be a press conference on Wednesday. At the press conference, I will take the blame and resign." Chen Xuhua said.

The meeting room of Queen Mary Hospital suddenly exploded, "How can this be? The decision made by President Chen was the result of all of us voting. You still abstained from voting. How can you take full responsibility!"

"Yes, everyone knows that based on the status of those people at the time, the probability of being able to survive drug toxicity is only a few percentage points. We cannot bet on the future of the hospital and our entire career just because of these few percentage points. !" It is a crime to inject a patient with a drug that has not passed the biological test without authorization. If it causes death, the patient’s family will be deliberately pursued and even sued the hospital and attending physician for murder.

"Yes! Dean Chen is not your fault! We are all right!" The doctors were a little excited.

Chen Xuhua raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

"I have thought a lot in the past few days. If the stalemate with the patient's family continues, the doctor-patient conflict will become more and more tense, and the working environment of us and our colleagues will become more and more depressing. Yes, from our perspective, We are right. We did very well. We traded the smallest loss for the biggest victory! In this patina pseudo-infection incident, the survival rate of patients in our hospital reached 84.8%, a world high. New antibiotics are being injected. No one died from drugs. Legally speaking, we are beyond blame."

"But... from a moral point of view?" Chen Xuhua stood up straight with a bitter face, "We have a thousand or ten thousand reasons to convince ourselves that the decision we made is correct, and it is the best after weighing all aspects. Choice. But as the last question in this newspaper said, if under the same conditions, our relatives lie inside, how would we choose?"

There was silence in the conference room, and Chen Xuhua put the newspaper back on the table.

"Because of our decision, patients have lost the last few percent of the possibility of surviving. This is a fact. As doctors, we will face this choice countless times in the future. Sometimes reason and emotion cannot coexist. I am here last As your dean, you have done your best in this incident. Please don't doubt yourself because of my departure. You are not wrong!"

"Papa"

"Papa Papa"

I don't know which person clapped his hands first, and there was a round of applause in the office. The doctors' eyes were red, and they were holding back their grief. Chen Xuhua's words made their suffocation and grievances disappeared cleanly.

There is nothing in the world that has the best of both worlds. They are human and not god. They can only do the best thing within their abilities.

"Well, now we should go out and apologize to the patient's family." Chen Xuhua exhaled a long suffocating breath, pretending to be relaxed.

This time, the doctors did not show fierce resistance. They stood up in silence, followed Chen Xuhua out of the meeting room, and walked towards the entrance of the hospital.

When Chen Xuhua and his party appeared, the media at the entrance of the hospital suddenly became excited.

They shoved and shoved forward.

"Dean Chen, how does Queen Mary Hospital answer the three questions in the Xiangjiang Daily?"

"President Chen, what does Mary Hospital have to say about the patina incident?"

"President Chen, as the defendant, as the defendant, are you confident that you will win the case that the patient's family jointly sued the hospital?"

…………

The reporters scrambled to step forward, but were stopped outside the gate by the security guard who rushed over from the hospital.

Amidst the noise, the doctor of Mary Hospital headed by Chen Xuhua suddenly bent down solemnly.

Two dozen doctors in white coats lined up and bowed deeply at 90 degrees. This scene made the scene quiet for a second.

Immediately countless flashes were lit, and all the media present recorded this shocking scene with cameras.

"Dean Chen, are you admitting that the hospital was at fault?"

"President Chen, did Queen Mary Hospital formally apologize to the patient's family?"

"Dean Chen..."

After the silence, the reporters squeezed forward with excitement like dog blood, and seven or eight security guards almost couldn't stop them holding hands.

Chen Xuhua took two steps forward, and took the microphone in his hand in the surprised eyes of a certain reporter.

"We are sorry to the patient's family, but the hospital at Queen Mary Hospital and I agree that we are doing the right thing."

I am sorry, but I am not wrong.

The statement of Queen Mary Hospital surprised everyone.

"Wednesday, that is, at 8 o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, we will hold a press conference in the conference hall on the second floor of the hospital. At that time, I will answer your questions and give the patient's family an explanation." Chen Xuhua said with a smile.

"Prior to this, I hope that the family members of the patient will also go back and rest. The weather is getting colder and colder these days, and the flu has not passed. I hope you can take care of your health. Thank you."

Chen Xuhua nodded to everyone again, then turned and left.

The other doctors immediately followed.

The media looked at each other. Why did everyone disappear in the blink of an eye? But since the Queen Mary Hospital said that the day after tomorrow's press conference would answer questions, they didn't have to guard at the door. February was when it was cold, and who would be willing to squat at the hospital door in a cold day.

There were also rustling discussions among the patient's family members. Everyone is a person who has a job. If it is not for the hurdles in the heart, whoever has the time to stand at the entrance of the hospital every day.

Listening to what the Queen Mary Hospital said, they were willing to answer their questions directly, and some of the patients' family members had the intention to withdraw first. Human beings are all creatures. There are one and two. After a few hours, the patient's family left in twos and threes, and soon there was only one wreath left.

Chen Xuhua's statement quickly made the headlines of major newspapers in Hong Kong.

I am sorry, but I am not wrong! This sentence instantly resounded through the streets of Xiangjiang.

Li Zheng had a faint guess in his heart, his lips pursed into a straight line, "Zheng Lingling, hasn't the person of the century responded yet?"

Zheng Lingling chuckled when she heard the words, oops, my great genius, you still expect the people of the century to come to Xiangjiang to interview you.

In the morning, Zheng Lingling bit her scalp and dialed the phone number of People of Century. After relaying Li Zheng’s answer, there was silence on the phone. The staff of People of Century did not expect that someone would ask their column team to fly to Xiangjiang. Interview him.

Therefore, the staff politely stated that he needed to consult his superiors.

Zheng Lingling can only smile awkwardly, in her opinion, this is already a disguised rejection.

"Maybe... I'm still busy."

Before she could finish her words, the phone on the desk rang.

"Hello, we are the People of the Century Program..."
