Chapter 184 – A Repeated Rumor Becomes A Fact
The director’s stand wasn’t firm enough, which allowed Qin Zhi Xue to bite onto it, “Of course it’s the truth! I still can’t find my wife, he definitely hid her at his house!”
With this claim, the director’s attitude became hesitant.
The phrase I just said was just to keep the face of the hospital. He lied to the man, but now the other party doesn’t accept the move at all.
The director just said that to maintain the face of the hospital. He was trying to bluff, but the other party won’t budge. This meant that this man actually had some confidence behind his claims.Moreover, everyone is saying the same thing. A repeated rumour becomes a fact; even if it was false, it would pretty much become the truth. Also, if Gan Song Bai really was innocent, why would other’s wrong him for no reason?
The directors thoughts ran back and forth countless times while his mind simulated the solution to this problem again and again..
“How about we do things like this? Let’s first close the door and discuss this somewhere with a little more privacy…” The director voiced while flashing Qin Zhi Xue a smile.
With that said, Gan Song Bai’s face turned ugly.
What did he mean by closing the doors? In the end, even if they solved this matter, the only one relaxed will be the hospital, but what about him? Would anyone believe in his reputation anymore?
“Not possible! Just say it in front of everyone!” Doctor Gan angrily declared with a red face.
Thanks to his occupation as a physician, he usually didn’t neglect taking care of his health. Otherwise, the moment he was angered by Qin Zhi Xue, he might’ve just passed right out on the spot!He would like to see if justice existed in the world. Could he have made a mistake in helping others? Xiang Jin was so miserably tortured by that mother of Qin Zhi Xue, yet this guy even dared to go to the hospital to make trouble! His refusal to treat that unreasonable thing called Old Madam Qin, under other’s tongues, became him having no medical ethics? If the so-called medical ethics means to be unable to differentiate between right or wrong, then what would he treat? Who should he cure? He might as well wash his hands and quit!
Gan Song Bai was not only extremely angry but also feeling a little depressed.
How could he not know that there were actually only a handful of people who were “pure and kind” among his patients? Whenever he was treating someone, he would mostly only see their suffering sides. When would he bother paying attention to their moral character or whether they’d done anything good or bad before? It wasn’t wrong to say that it was his responsibility to treat the ill, and he could also understand if there were some patients who are insensible or harbour extreme amounts of ill-will, but he would remain impartial and help these people. After all, there is no one in the world who is purely kind, and similarly, there’s no one in the world who’s purely evil.
But that old lady is different.
He has visited the district four or five times, and the old lady had looked like she wanted to eat him each time. She always spoke nonsense, and her words were always ugly, but he tolerated it, took her pulse and prescribed medicine as usual.
He didn’t expect the old lady to be grateful. After all, he was being paid to do this, but she should at least give him a little respect as a regular person.
Not only had the old lady refused to take her medicine on time, she was even adamant against using it. He had advised her to not consume spicy food, seafood, etcetera, but she once again didn’t take it to heart and instead caused her full body itching to become worse. In the end, he tried his best to treat the root of her problem, but who knew that she simply didn’t believe in him and used over-the-counter ointments to stop the itching!
It’s common knowledge that different diseases cannot be treated with the same medicine. How can he continue to help someone who doesn’t even know this?! (E/N: Except if you are Mexican, THERE IS NOTHING IN THIS WORLD THAT CANNOT BE TREATED WITH VICKS) (T/N: I hereby declare that us Chinese only believe in drinking water, water, and water. ‘Tis the ultimate medicine)
Rather than saying that he was taking his anger out on the old lady because he sympathized with Xiang Jin, it should be that the old lady had worn out his patience.
Even quack doctors have a bit of a temper, and he, Gan Songbai, was a famous doctor. If he could still greet people with a smile even after being bossed around, he might as well become a living buddha!
The old man was so angry that his head felt like exploding. He’d originally hoped that the director could help him clarify this matter, but who knew that he’d side with the opposite side the moment they opened their mouth? His heart sank. His only hope was that Jing Yun Zhao could bring Xiang Jin over to explain everything to the people here.
Since he refused to satisfy this in private, the gossiping hearts of the people outside were also satisfied enough to shout, “This is a big matter that has implicated a person’s life! You guys have to openly discuss it, or else who would dare consult this old man for treatment?!”
