This doctor is already middle-aged, and he's only just started practicing medicine.

Chapter 220 Inadequate Abilities?

Lu Cheng frowned instantly, his tone even sounding somewhat amused: "Teacher Zhao, do you mean that the patient died, and the condition at the scene of the incident was the most critical?"

"Who gave you this inference, or who reported this conclusion to you?"

Zhao Hetong chuckled lightly: "They couldn't even save him, isn't that serious?"

Lu Cheng took a deep breath and said, "How should I address you, Teacher Zhao? May I call you 'leader'?"

Zhao Hetong said, "Dr. Lu, you just need to explain why you made that choice back then."

Lu Cheng simply said, "Sir, I don't have the ability to save him."

"That's why I didn't dare touch this patient! His death had nothing to do with me."

Lu Cheng's directness completely baffled Zhao Hetong.

If Lu Cheng's incompetence is considered a fault, then everyone watching should be implicated.

Zhao Hetong was annoyed that he didn't hear the words of misjudgment or neglect that he wanted to hear: "Dr. Lu, under those circumstances, did you really make such a judgment?"

"Yes, we doctors also have our own strengths and treatment preferences."

"I handle these things frequently, so I know what I'm doing."

"If I can't handle it, I won't dare to cause trouble for the teachers who come after me."

"Boss, is this alright? Although the situation was one of emergency avoidance, I did not violate the principle of non-harming."

As Lu Cheng finished speaking, he quietly moved to Mu Nanshu's side, asked her to hand him her phone, and deftly turned on the recording function.

Zhao Hetong explained, "Dr. Lu, you are a professional medical worker, and we have already verified that."

"Since you also know about emergency avoidance, you should be more precise in your statement. You won't be held responsible, and it will give us an explanation."

"In any case, we are grateful for Dr. Lu's righteous help."

Lu Cheng, seizing the opportunity, said, "Boss, you're too kind. I just did what I was supposed to do. It's just that I'm not capable enough to do it perfectly, and I've let you down."

"I just hope you won't blame me for not doing a good job."

Seeing that Lu Cheng was unmoved by reason, Zhao Hetong said, "So, Dr. Lu, you were also calm and clear-headed under those circumstances?"

"No judging errors occurred?"

Lu Cheng said, "Sir, I am not absolutely calm, but I am absolutely clear-headed."

"As for whether the judgment was wrong, I can only provide treatment nearby, do what I know, what I am familiar with, what the injured need, and what is within my own capabilities."

"If you have any other concerns, please feel free to contact us, okay?"

"If you feel that my rescue efforts were flawed or flawed, you can report it to the state's health commission for handling."

Do you want Lu Cheng to take the blame for the 'emergency evacuation'? Lu Cheng isn't that stupid.

Although he could do this, Lu Cheng wouldn't be punished, and Feng County could give a relatively good response.

But this was all made up out of thin air, so why should Lu Cheng take the blame?

Zhao Hetong sighed and said, "Dr. Lu, as you know, different numbers of injuries and deaths in traffic accidents lead to different types of accidents."

"and?"

Lu Cheng said, "Sir, I'm just a doctor. When the car accident happened, I saw injured people and I wanted to do my best to help."

"Whether the patient can be saved, how to classify the accident, and how to handle it are all matters of expertise for you. I cannot offer any advice or assistance."

"If you have any concerns, you can contact my organization."

The emergency treatment at the accident scene was an emergency evacuation. Even if Lu Cheng did something wrong, he wouldn't be punished.

Because if the punishment or procedures become more complicated, then all medical staff will have no choice but to turn a blind eye in the future.

"Boss, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up now. This is a vacation period I finally managed to get, and although I have no intention of traveling anymore."

"I also want to go back and rest early!"

“If any of my colleagues in Feng County have any questions about the patients I’ve treated, they can contact me anytime. My phone is always available 24/7,” Lu Cheng replied.

If I make a mistake in treating a patient, you can point out the flaws and question it; that's perfectly normal medical communication.

If you try to pin a label on me for a problem I haven't even addressed, Lu Cheng will absolutely not accept it.

Lu Cheng unilaterally and proactively hung up the phone, which also ended the recording.

Lu Cheng and Mu Nanshu arrived at Tong Yuan'an's family of three again, politely bid them farewell, and then Tong Yuan'an and the others entered the high-speed rail station to return home.

Although it sounds like a joke, it's a normal reaction.

Neither Lu Cheng nor Mu Nanshu had the leisure to visit the ancient city anymore.

"Why don't we go back to Jilin City, rest for a couple of days, and maybe do some food research?" Lu Cheng suggested.

Mu Nanshu nodded: "Who called you just now? You seemed very serious."

After Lu Cheng got into the car and started the engine, he drove out of the parking space: "It was some department from the Feng County government that wanted me to take the blame for them, but I didn't agree."

Mu Nanshu asked, "Will they ultimately lie about the number of people?"

“The announcement only misrepresented the number of people; we wouldn’t and wouldn’t dare to report it to higher authorities,” Lu Cheng said.

"The leaders aren't stupid. With so many photos from the scene, if they can't post them online, they can't just post them in the group chat, right?"

Mu Nanshu nodded: "So, according to you, those people really know how to have fun."

Lu Cheng said, "Others are good at handling things, so of course they are better at turning big problems into small ones and small problems into nothing."

"These are things we can't control."

"What I'm thinking now is, if I had known, I would have just sent Professor Tong to the hospital directly, then none of this would have happened." Lu Cheng smiled somewhat helplessly.

Lu Cheng finally understood why people were becoming increasingly indifferent.

If you turn a blind eye and a deaf ear, you'll avoid getting into trouble.

Once you become enthusiastic, that enthusiasm can become your own death warrant. Under such rules, "enthusiasm" is synonymous with "saintly virtue," and you deserve it!
As Lu Cheng spoke, he checked his skill point gains again.

[By rapidly stopping the bleeding and preventing the patient from suffering hemorrhagic shock and death, you gain 22 skill points.]

[By performing an emergency tracheotomy to manage the airway and prevent the patient from suffocating and dying, 39 skill points are gained.]

[Through hemostasis techniques...]

The skill points gained from saving lives are much higher than those gained from surgery.

According to Lu Cheng's long-standing statistics, the skill points gained from a single operation are basically in the single digits, because the benefits to patients are limited.

一级手术基本上只能得到1-2点技能点，二级则是1-3点，三级2-4点，四级手术和新术式则又2-15点不等的技能点收益。

However, skills related to rescue and saving lives generally require a high amount of skill points.

After all, saving lives is far more important than treating illnesses.

This on-site rescue actually gave Lu Cheng nearly seventy skill points, which is comparable to his total earnings in a month at Longxian People's Hospital.

Lu Cheng suddenly understood.

Even if patients and others don't understand you, this panel can still give you the best positive feedback and make your mind more clear.

Beneficial is beneficial. The benefits are distributed directly, regardless of whether patients express gratitude, cause you trouble, or whether superiors make things difficult for you.

……

Emergency Department, Fengxian People's Hospital.

After Liang Yunfa transferred all the emergency patients to the hospital or sent them to the operating room, he wiped his forehead with the back of his hand.

With a sense of relief, he said, "The patients brought in today have all recovered quite well overall, especially the one with multiple arterial injuries."

The vice president next to Liang Yunfa frowned deeply. Looking at the message sent to him by his superiors, he took a deep breath and said helplessly, "Director Liang, the leaders still have a lot of opinions about our current handling results."

"They felt that it would be better if there were no more than three people."

"Now, some people are still asking whether Dr. Lu, who was at the scene, misjudged the condition of the patients, which led to the delay in rescue."

Vice President Zhang, who was also in the medical industry, learned just how lucky those two fortunate patients were after arriving at the emergency room.

It is regrettable that the patient who was more seriously injured and closer to death at the scene survived, while the patient with arterial injury who was less seriously injured died.

But one thing is certain: without Lu Cheng's intervention, the death toll this time would have been at least one more.

"Isn't this bullshit?"

"Take a look at the feedback. Do they only care about the final result and not the content of the patient records we submit?" Liang Yunfa said, somewhat annoyed. Vice President Zhang replied, "In the eyes of the leadership, the process is unimportant; the result is what matters most. That's what influences them the most."

"It is said that the public security department and the traffic police department even got into an argument this time."

"The murderer has been found."

"Dean Zhang? How did you find him?" Liang Yunfa tilted his head curiously.

"After he drove away, he went home and cut off the woman's father's head as well, then carried it around the old town and swaggered away."

“He never even considered running away!” Vice Dean Zhang said in a low voice.

Liang Yunfa was stunned: "Carrying it and swaggering away? Really??"

This is the 21st century, isn't it? A society governed by the rule of law?

"Could the rumors in the information be true? The story goes that the woman tricked him into going abroad, where he not only lost two million, but also had his kidneys cut off?"

Zhang Zonglin shook his head: "I don't know."

"But if he hadn't been driven to the extreme of despair, he certainly wouldn't have done something so furious and utterly depraved."

"Actually, I think it's fine to kill the person involved!"

"The sins of a man should not extend to his parents, wife, and children. Even in ancient times, a man like him would be considered a beast."

Liang Yunfa fell silent. He felt that Zhang Zonglin's words made sense, but he didn't dare to say that this "murderer" really deserved to die.

One thing Liang Yunfa is certain of is that he did report the case to the police, but it was not accepted for investigation.

Regardless of the outcome, this matter has escalated to such a large extent that those who received the report and the leaders within the public security system must be extremely naive.

After all, the central inspection team hasn't left yet!
If they can't find any evidence of dereliction of duty on your part, can't they at least investigate your financial matters?

Following the clues might uncover other problems as well.

This is also the main reason why the county leaders really wanted Lu Cheng to take the blame.

Feng County is very close to Ji City; it's less than an hour's drive away.

Despite their travel plans falling through, Mu Nanshu and Lu Cheng weren't particularly disappointed. On their way back, the two reported their itinerary to Mu Leng and Yan Sangyue.

The two were initially startled, but after learning that Lu Cheng and Mu Nanshu were alright, they immediately said they would come to pick them up.

Meanwhile, Mu Leng also said on the phone that he would call Lu Nan's family and ask Lu Cheng's parents to come to Ji City so that the two families could get together.

Mu Leng and Lu Nanjia share many common interests, including but not limited to drinking.

Although Yan Sangyue has become successful now, she was once an ordinary rural woman like Tian Hui. Now, besides making money and playing mahjong, Yan Sangyue also likes to chat and go into the mountains to find some mountain products, such as pine mushrooms.

It's not about making money, it's just about having fun and the thrill of collecting the unknown.

Lu Nanjia and Tian Hui did not refuse. After Mu Leng told the elderly couple about Lu Cheng's experience, they immediately put down their work. Lu Nanjia was going to drive his uncle Lu Nanyong's car to Jishi.

Lu Nanjia and Mu Leng were playing chess in a farmhouse courtyard, drinking warm wine together. Both of them were excellent drinkers, but their chess skills were terrible.

Lu Cheng played two games with each of them before leaving.

In a game of chess, one can undo eight or nine moves, which means making the wrong moves.

It's impossible for someone to watch a game of chess without speaking.

Lu Cheng, Mu Nanshu, Tian Hui, and Yan Sangyue were playing mahjong. It cost two yuan per win and five yuan for a self-draw, plus sunflower seeds and peanuts...

You can enjoy the mountain and river views while warming yourself by the fire, and you don't have to cook. Yan Sangyue has the best skills, so she wins more often.

Mu Nanshu and Lu Cheng had lost all their cash, so they gave Yan Sangyue two hundred yuan, making Yan Sangyue grin from ear to ear.

After a game of mahjong, Yan Sangyue became much more polite to Tian Hui and Lu Cheng.

This scene was quite unexpected for Lu Cheng.

Emotions that cost thousands or tens of thousands can be resolved with just a few hundred.

Therefore, some things don't necessarily need to be solved with money; it's better to spend time together and have fun together...

The incident of Lu Cheng saving lives at the emergency scene in Feng County did not escalate further, and no one continued to ask Lu Cheng for more details.

However, the emergency room doctor at Fengxian People's Hospital made three phone calls to Lu Cheng, confirming his initial diagnosis at the accident scene and the specific assessment of the corresponding actions he took.

Farmhouses only offer meals and chess games; rest is not allowed.

Around 9 p.m., Lu Cheng took Lu Nanjia and Tian Hui back to Mu Nanshu's "third" apartment, where they lived alone.

The Mu family owns only one house in Long County, but in Jishi, they reportedly own nine properties.

Two of the properties have been rented out, while the other seven are currently vacant and fully furnished.

Originally, Lu Nanjia and Tian Hui said they were going to stay at a hotel, but Mu Leng and Yan Sangyue refused!
After entering the door with the password, Lu Cheng noticed that his parents had become much more reserved. They not only bought towels and shower gel for themselves, but also a pair of slippers for the three of them to share.

Lu Cheng felt that the two of them were being too formal. After he brought up the idea, Lu Nan said, "Little Lu, you don't know this."

"To Yu Muleng and the others, you are different from us."

“After you two form a family, you will be one family, and your mother, you and Nanshu will also be one family.”

"There are some details that you and Nanshu may not care about, but you should still pay attention to them."

"Otherwise, people will dislike you."

Lu Cheng's eyes reddened slightly at Lu Nan's clear-headedness: "Dad, aren't you tired?"

"What's so tiring about this? Your mother and I are just past the age where you guys can be so carefree. When we go back to our respective hometowns, it's just as easy for us, isn't it?"

"Have you seen your maternal grandparents and paternal grandparents visit each other's homes and do so completely as they please?"

There's a lot more to this than meets the eye, and Lu Cheng felt he might not be able to control himself. He also couldn't figure out what reasoning he could use to convince the old couple, so he stopped bringing it up.

Before the three of them took a shower, Mu Nanshu mentioned that there were pajamas available, but her parents didn't wear them either, so they took off their coats and went to sleep fully clothed.

Lu Cheng was alone in the room, discussing the engagement with Mu Nanshu.

The two families had previously agreed to get engaged, but it was just an agreement and they hadn't gone through the engagement ceremony of "setting off firecrackers".

This is a custom in XX state, where getting engaged is described as "setting off firecrackers"!
It all boils down to a few points: the bride price and customs.

The two fell in love on their own, so they didn't need a matchmaker. As for the bride price, Mu Nanshu's family said it would be 128,000 yuan.

How much will Lu Nanjia and Tian Hui give, and how much will Mu Leng and Yan Sangyue give as dowry?

The money in the dowry was not intended for Lu Cheng and Mu Nanshu to build a new home, but rather as start-up capital for their new life.

The dowry, furniture, gold jewelry, and clothing were all purchased with Mu Leng's own money. Both sums of money were given directly to Lu Cheng and Mu Nanshu after Mu Leng and Lu Cheng received them.

This request was considered exceptionally lenient.

A dowry of 128,000 yuan is certainly not much.

While Lu Cheng and Mu Nanshu were still chatting enthusiastically, Lu Cheng suddenly received a message from an unfamiliar number.

It's a text message, not a WeChat message.

Dr. Lu Cheng, your life-saving grace is beyond words. And it's a pity that the incident forced me to leave Xiangzhou, so I've had little chance to thank you in person again.

However, considering the difficulties you are currently facing, Dr. Lu, I have privately arranged a meeting. If it is convenient for you, Dr. Lu, and you would like to, you are welcome to come to Kyoto to see me. Just call my personal number.

This meeting is not a thank-you banquet, but simply to connect you with Dr. Lu Cheng and introduce you to some senior medical professionals, hoping that you will have more opportunities to showcase your talents.

If you, Dr. Lu, do not need this information, you can ignore this message.

Xiao Mingqi.

Happy New Year!

Awaiting your reply.

After carefully reading the text, Lu Cheng scratched the back of his head.

Lu Cheng knew that the leader's name was Xiao Mingqi, but he didn't expect that he had been removed from Xiangzhou because of that fight incident, and most likely he had also been removed from the inspection team.

“You’re too kind. I never asked for anything. It was just the surgery I was able to perform; it was what I should do,” Lu Cheng replied cautiously.

Xiao Mingqi: "Dr. Lu, please don't misunderstand. The professor I introduced to you isn't someone who's trying to give you any shortcuts. He's a true master in the field of surgery, and he's the most virtuous of all."

"You are not guaranteed to get his appreciation and recognition. But if the opportunity is right, he can recommend you to the health department and get some convenience in terms of surgical authority."

"But surgical authority cannot be granted lightly, and Dr. Lu may be scolded. Please consider this carefully."
