Chapter 272 Discarding the Donkey After It Has Gone Its Millstone? (Please Subscribe)

Fortunately, Fang Ziye's rented apartment was not far from the hospital, so the taxi driver only needed to change direction to stop.

Shen Tao didn't explicitly say why on the phone, but Wu Xuanqi's words about going crazy were very provocative.

"Fadian" means to go crazy, lose one's temper, act strangely, or act inexplicably.

When Fang Ziye arrived at the trauma center of the hospital, he indeed heard Wu Xuanqi's voice echoing in the doctor's office.

"Director Wu, do you directors have any shame at all?"

"Why aren't you stepping forward at this crucial time? Choosing to remain silent and act like cowards, do you have even a shred of humanity left?"

“My old classmate Nie Mingxian, why did you become the chief surgeon in the first place? Don’t you have any self-awareness? If it weren’t for the fact that your orthopedics and vascular surgery departments were incompetent, you would have killed the person if you hadn’t taken action.”

"How could a perfectly good anesthesiologist do surgical work?"

"If there weren't a shortage of surgeons, would anesthesiologists need to temporarily switch careers?"

"Oh, so the person was rescued, and you even drank happily at the time. You accepted the family's thanks and probably even received gifts. But now that the higher-ups are starting to investigate, you've gone silent?"

"Holy crap, Optimus Prime, are there really people in this world who do things like this?!" Wu Xuanqi cursed, using what was considered a refined yet extremely offensive phrasing.

Hearing this, Fang Ziye finally understood why Wu Xuanqi had gone mad.

Nie Mingxian and Fang Ziye knew each other.

He was the only person of similar age who could give Fang Ziye a real blow.

People of similar age, meaning those who are close in age to each other.

If we only count the people who have caused Fang Ziye harm, there are too many to list in detail.

"We told you, Dr. Wu, how could we not?"

“There’s just nothing we can do. Our orthopedic department director, Li Junfeng, has already come forward to explain, but the higher-ups feel that such a reason does not comply with medical regulations.” Wu Guonan said, his head bowed, his face dark with anger.

It is indeed a bit embarrassing for a chief physician to be insulted and rebuked like that by a young man.

But there's nothing we can do. Wu Xuanqi and Nie Mingxian have a good relationship, which is something many people know, they just don't openly call each other brothers.

But as everyone knows, Nie Mingxian from the anesthesiology department rarely attends department gatherings after get off work, but often goes out drinking with friends.

"no way?"

"When you were saving people, why didn't you say there was no way? What you said was, 'It's okay, if something happens, the orthopedics department will definitely hold on.'"

"Now Nie Mingxian is going to be dismissed."

"You should know something about his situation, right?"

“A deputy chief physician has to work part-time at a private hospital after get off work every day. He can’t even afford to take a taxi and tries to take the bus as much as possible. Whenever he takes a taxi, he has to ask the other hospital for reimbursement, or he has to perform anesthesia on more patients.”

"What?"

"It's all for that damn few taels of silver, because of his father, because he's a son. Because he wants his father to live."

"What if he resigns under these circumstances?"

"Director Wu, he went on stage for the sake of orthopedic patients. You were on stage at the time!"

"You saw it."

“You can’t just deny it because Zhang Mingcan walked away. If you do, I’ll start spreading all sorts of rumors, and don’t blame me for making them sound terrible!” Wu Xuanqi even added a threat.

"As everyone knows, don't think I'm obsessed with saving face or have any particular attachments." "I'm just one person; I don't care about face, and I can say whatever I want."

Faced with Wu Xuanqi's threat, Wu Guonan immediately stood up and raised his right hand: "Dr. Wu, I know, I know everything. How could I not know about Director Nie's condition?"

"But I swear, our orthopedics department has been trying to find a solution, and we have tried the best we can."

"Office staff, we've run away!"

"We even went to the dean's office."

“We’ve run away from the State Health Commission.”

“We even sent an explanation letter to the Provincial Health Commission and made a copy of the explanation letter, listing all the people present during the surgery.”

"But so far, none of them have been approved."

"This inspection was a preliminary investigation organized by the provincial party committee leaders, and they happened to find the record of Director Nie Mingxian taking office."

"This isn't something on our medical records; it was the anesthesiology department and the circulating nurse who put his name on it. You can't blame the orthopedics department for this."

"What else can we do? Fight to the death? How can we fight to the death?" Wu Guonan said helplessly.

Wu Guonan and the orthopedic team must be extremely grateful to Nie Mingxian for helping to save lives in that emergency.

Wu Guonan felt very upset and guilty that Nie Mingxian would have to resign or be dismissed because of this incident.

However, this decision wasn't made by the hospital; the surgical safety inspectors happened to spot such a typical case...

Well, to put it another way, anesthesiologists go onto the operating table to perform surgical procedures.

It is indeed quite outrageous under current regulations.

If it were an emergency evacuation, that would be one thing, but this has already taken place on the operating table in a hospital. Even if the patient dies on the operating table, the anesthesiologist should not stand on the surgeon's operating table.

This is similar to how a surgeon, no matter how skilled in anesthesia, cannot have their name appear on the list of anesthesiologists.

"Oh, so you're just quitting because there's no other way?"

"Then why didn't you just say you were incompetent in the first place? Why the hell did you have to beg for help?"

"Did Nie Mingxian shamelessly ask to go on stage? No, definitely not. I remember very clearly that he refused."

“He had expected it. You all assured him that nothing would happen, that nothing could possibly happen.”

"You need to find out where the problem is!"

“If there’s a problem with the anesthesiology department, you should go to the anesthesiology department; if there’s a problem with the circulating nurse, you should go to the operating room, instead of sitting here doing nothing.”

"Among you guys, is there even a guy with a penis left?" Wu Xuanqi's words were quite harsh this time.

Wu Guonan's face darkened instantly.

Not only Wu Guonan, but even Shen Tao coughed and cleared his throat: "Ahem."

But Shen Tao didn't say much.

Nie Mingxian needs money, but he doesn't steal, rob, cheat, or swindle; he earns it all through hard work, and there's nothing shameful about it.

But precisely because he was short of money, he couldn't just quit his job, nor could he bring up the current 'crime'. Otherwise, outside of Enshi, who would dare to give him this job?

Moreover, once he leaves Enshi, how will Nie Mingxian take care of his family?
Nie Mingxian wanted to return to Enshi because he could look after his family there.
