As Su Qingsang was about to fall and hit the reception table behind her, Zuo Hongchen quickly reached out and grabbed her.
“Qingsang, watch out.”
He managed to save Su Qingsang but he fell to the ground. He grunted as he hit his back on the table.
“Are you alright?”
Su Qingsang was becoming anxious. What the h.e.l.l is this? She helped Zuo Hongchen on to his feet.
Zuo Hongchen had injured his back but he was more worried about her being hurt. He pulled her towards the side but Zhang Mei’s husband was persistent and continued to move towards them.
Luckily, the security force finally became helpful and came together to stop them from causing further damage.
Despite the mess, when the police intervened the chaos finally settled.
In addition to Zuo Hongchen, two doctors were injured and three nurses were also affected. The reception was smashed and some of the equipment in the hall was also damaged.
Zhang Mei’s family was taken away by the police.
Su Qingsang wasn’t hurt so she helped the staff tidy up the chaos in the front desk.
A preliminary estimate showed that the total loss of various facilities would cost more than $200,000.
The hospital Su Qingsang worked at was a famously good hospital in Lin City. When something like this happened, the news blew up on Weibo.
Users who had no clue about the incident came together and scolded the hospital. They claimed that this happened because of the doctor’s unprofessionalism.
Zhang Mei’s death had turned from a simple suicidal incident into a hot issue. Su Qingsang had also become a key figure in the incident.
This had nothing to do with her. All she did was take the case.
She was one of the doctors who took part in the emergency rescue the day before and the surgery that Zhang Mei lost her child in.
In such a case, this caused Su Qingsang to be at the center of the storm. The public opinion was leaning to the side of scolding the doctors and the hospital.
The family members who were stuck outside were too coward to continue but they still remained at the scene. They pulled out a white banner that said, “Quack doctors do harm, an eye for an eye.”
This was all ludicrous. Zhang Mei’s fell on her own, which resulted in her losing the baby. Why was it that in these people’s eyes, the hospital must pay?
Su Qingsang hadn’t even figured out how to reason with the people when she received a notice from the hospital department. They informed her that she was suspended.
“What?” Su Qingsang stared at Deputy Director Yang. “Isn’t this unreasonable?”
She did nothing wrong. Why were they suspending her?
“Dr. Su, we don’t want to do this either. This has erupted into such chaos that we have no other choice.”
“Even if you don’t have any other choice, this is not the way to deal with it.” Su Qingsang tried to remain calm in situations like this.
“All of the paperwork is complete. There was no issue regarding the rescue process. The hospital did nothing wrong in either the forced termination or the suicide.”
It was true that she had blamed herself for what had happened but there was no reason to act like a saint and take all the blame.
“I know. We all get it.” Yang looked helpless. “But this doesn’t help the situation. The patient’s family doesn’t know it, neither does the online users nor the public.”
Su Qingsang stopped talking. She knew how fierce they were protesting outside. “Deputy Director Yang, is there really no other choice?”
