After being separated from my family, I became a darling of the military region thanks to my medical

Two FDA investigators had barely taken a step when Cohen was already blocking the entrance to the intensive care unit.

He was very old, but his back was ramrod straight.

The hem of the white coat pressed against the threshold, showing no intention of moving aside.

"Medical records can be sealed."

"Surgical records can be copied."

"But Benjamin's treatment cannot be stopped."

The lead investigator, Mullen, frowned.

"Professor Cohen, please do not obstruct the federal investigation."

Old Cohen raised his hand and pointed towards the insulated box.

"Inside is a baby who just underwent modified BT shunt surgery six hours ago."

"His circulation is not stable yet. Stopping any of the prostaglandins, cardiac stimulants, blood gas analysis, and shunt blood flow monitoring could cause problems."

Mullen opened the file.

"The ban requires the cessation of all medical procedures related to Ye Zhen."

Stephen suppressed his anger and took the call.

"Dr. Ye's surgery is over."

"The doctor currently administering the prescription is a Mayo Clinic licensed physician."

"If you want to investigate the authorization process, go and investigate the authorization process."

"Don't pull the child out of the treatment chain."

Mullen's subordinates produced a seal.

"We need to seal all original documents, including monitoring reports and medication records."

Harrison stood next to the medical record cart.

"Original records cannot leave the ward."

"I need a copy, I'll give it to you now."

"Benjamin's urine output every fifteen minutes, blood gas analysis every half hour, and every pump speed adjustment were all signed off by Whitman and me."

"If you take the original documents, who will carry out the next medical order?"

The investigator wanted to speak further.

Old Cohen suddenly took off his name tag and slammed it heavily on the nurses' station table.

"I am Raymond Cohen."

"Former Chief of Cardiac Surgery at the Cleveland Clinic."

"Life member of the American College of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery".

"Also a joint guarantor for the emergency authorization for Benjamin's single case."

He turned to Mullen.

"Now, the three doctors have clearly written down the risks."

"You heard it too, stopping treatment will lead to foreseeable death."

"If you forcibly stop the resuscitation and the child dies here, I will file a criminal complaint with the Hennepin County Attorney."

"I personally signed the complaint materials for first-degree murder."

The corridor fell silent.

Several reporters, separated by the police cordon, even stopped pressing their shutters.

Mullen's face darkened.

"Professor, watch your words."

"I'm very careful."

Old Cohen picked up the medical record folder and flipped to the postoperative informed consent page.

"These are the signatures of the child's parents."

"This is an emergency authorization from the ethics committee."

"This is a joint guarantee from Stephen, Harrison, and me."

"If you want to hand over a baby's life to administrative documents, I will put every single one of your names in the complaint."

Stephen took over the conversation.

"The FDA is responsible for regulating drugs and medical devices."

"You have no authority to direct operations at the bedside."

"Unless the court issues an injunction, Mayo will not interrupt Benjamin's supportive treatment."

Mullen's subordinate took out a walkie-talkie and made an external contact in a low voice.

A few minutes later, two more people arrived at the end of the corridor.

One of them is the general counsel of Mayo Clinic.

Another person was wearing a dark suit and a temporary badge from the U.S. Department of Justice pinned to his chest.

Xu Wenqiang stood next to Gu Zheng and whispered a reminder.

"The legal counsel for the Chinese Consulate General in Chicago is on his way."

Gu Zheng nodded.

He stood slightly in front of Ye Zhen, his arm blocking the entrance to the ward.

The two investigators had to get around him to get in.

Mullen's expression darkened even more after he finished the call.

The person on the phone only gave him one sentence.

Treatment for the child must not be interrupted.

Federal agencies should not be held directly responsible for deaths.

Mullen put the documents away.

"The existing treatment plan can be retained for the time being."

Stephen did not move.

"How long is 'temporarily'?"

"Until the legal review is completed."

"Specific deadline."

Mullen paused for two seconds.

"Twenty-four hours."

Old Cohen snorted coldly.

"Benjamin's condition will be determined by the doctors 24 hours later."

"It's not up to the clerks in your office to decide."

Mullen did not argue further.

He turned to Ye Zhen.

"Dr. Ye, from now on, you are not allowed to enter any operating room, catheterization lab, ward, or consultation area."

"No contact with any patients is permitted."

"They shall not participate in any medical decisions."

"You must remain in the designated area until the investigation is complete."

Ye Zhen pulled out a newly written monitoring form from the record board.

The paper lists the specific thresholds for the next 24 hours.

The order of troubleshooting for a decrease in diversion flow rate.

The criteria for discontinuing medication are when the mean arterial pressure is below 45.

Assessment of pulmonary blood flow when blood oxygen levels exceed 90%.

Follow-up examination points include lactate, urine output, central venous pressure, and pericardial drainage.

She handed the guardianship form to Harrison.

"Execute according to the schedule within 24 hours."

Harrison accepted it with both hands.

"I'll stay here."

Whitman also stepped forward.

"I'm responsible for verifying the blood gas and pump speed in each round."

Stephen looked at the investigator.

"Did you hear me clearly?"

"Benjamin doesn't need Dr. Yip to touch him."

"But he must continue with the treatment plan that Dr. Ye has already prescribed."

Mullen gritted his teeth and signaled to his subordinates to start copying the medical records.

Two investigators stepped outside the glass wall and began recording the names of each medical worker entering and leaving the intensive care unit.

Ye Zhen turned and walked towards the rest area.

Gu Zheng followed.

She had only taken a few steps when she heard Stephen's hushed voice behind her.

"Muren, who told you to act so hastily?"

Mullen did not turn around.

"We received a report."

"Who reported this?"

"Keep it a secret."

Old Cohen stood there, his pen clenched so tightly it turned white.

"A baby who had just been pulled back from the brink of death became the subject of a report by some people."

"You lot have forgotten what hospitals are for."

At the same time.

Headquarters of Gore Intervention Medical Supplies in Manhattan, New York.

All the blinds in the conference room were drawn.

Several screenshots of news reports from Mayo were placed in the center of the long table.

Ye Zhen's photo was printed at the very top.

Gore CEO Grant leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers on the table.

"Single-case authorization did not stop her."

Bryce, the vice president of legal affairs, flipped through the documents.

"Stephen and Cohen are too important."

"The ban currently only applies to Ye Zhen herself."

Grant looked up.

"That's enough."

"The most dangerous part of the Chinese standard is not that she can perform surgery."

"She made the diagnostic model, risk stratification, equipment parameters, and complication management all public."

"Once doctors learn it, they no longer need to follow our product path."

No one around the conference table spoke.

Gore Group monopolizes the core supply of many children’s heart centers in North America by relying on consumables and patented coatings.

What plans are accepted by insurance companies?

Every step of the process is tied to Gore's profits.

Ye Zhen's standards are breaking down these steps one by one.

Bryce turned to the last page.

"Orders from Europe have begun to decline."

"Several hospitals are applying to adopt Huaxia's standard medical device adaptation program."

Grant's face darkened.

"We can't let North America open this door too."

He pressed the telephone button on the table.

"Notify the Fox News project team."

"Put the words 'illegal medical practice,' 'unapproved,' and 'baby experimentation' into tonight's program."

"Find two more doctors who are willing to appear on camera."

"They don't need to understand Benjamin's illness."

"All they do is create panic."
