Great doctors start with pediatrics

Chapter 33 Life and Death

"Laurent is really serious."

Fang Qingxue smiled and said, "Thank you, Luo Lang."

"I can see the calluses on the injured mothers of the sick children."

Laurent said, "But harm is harm, and at the very least I need to ensure the safety of the rescuers."

"If there was danger, why did Laurent try to save you just now?"

Fang Qingxue blinked: "Loran's rescue attempt just now really scared me."

"It can easily lead to misunderstandings and failures."

Laurent shook his head: "It won't fail."

"If the injection fails, there is a high possibility of facing a lawsuit."

"Although the law states that rescuers are not liable for civil damages caused to the recipient due to voluntary emergency rescue actions, others may still file lawsuits and demand compensation on charges such as practicing medicine without a license and causing death by negligence."

"It's unlikely that a criminal case will be filed, especially since my rescue procedure was very clear and in accordance with regulations. However, from the perspective of the hospital, school, and court, they may mediate and require me to compensate for some of the losses."

"I guess it's probably around 10% to 20%."

Laurent spoke eloquently.

He handles legal matters with ease.

Of course, to take a case seriously, one needs to search for similar cases and understand the situation, rather than making things up as one does now.

"If you, Laurent, understand this, then what about me?"

"Because I am an orphan."

Laurent said, "Every year, people from the poverty alleviation office come to my dorm just to take a picture with me. Who can sue me then?"

"When the trial begins, I'll lie down directly on the judge's desk, and the judges and the presiding judge will look at me like they're looking at Jesus."

"I can't get up unless the bailiffs drag me out."

"If that really happens, that's what I'll do."

"As for other avenues, I cannot mediate."

"Unless the school voluntarily provides compensation, but the school is unlikely to do so."

If the school wants to discipline me, or even expel me, I will file an administrative lawsuit. In cases with similar precedents, I will likely win on appeal at most.

Laurent said in a very serious tone.

"Pfft."

Fang Qingxue chuckled, "Laurent is quite the joker, lying on the judge's desk."

"Yes, if all else fails, I'll even take my pants off in front of them. They won't be able to hold a trial, and they won't be able to make a judgment."

Anyway, I'm just an orphan, so I can always vent my frustrations through other channels.

"Besides, since I caused a scene in court, I can submit a post-trial opinion later and subtly sabotage them."

I will cite all relevant legal provisions from similar cases, and if they do not adjudicate correctly, I will file a formal complaint against them.

Laurent spoke with absolute certainty.

Fang Qingxue kept laughing.

Laurent was serious.

But it was also a joke.

Especially noticeable was Laurent's occasional raised eyebrows.

Fang Qingxue was even more certain of this.

"Laurent, what about the truth?"

"The truth?"

Laurent shrugged: "These days, nobody believes the truth anymore?"

"I mean your true thoughts."

Fang Qingxue said.

"Do you really want to hear it?"

Laurent inquired.

"Really," Fang Qingxue affirmed.

"Okay, to be frank, I will definitely use these methods and seek help from the media, since I cannot accept any mediation; the only option is for me to win the case."

Laurent said, "Most lawyers wouldn't take on this kind of case, since winning is difficult, and the family members being represented are also quite demanding."

"But in recent years, at least there has been a safety net of compromise, so if I'm a bit shameless, I'm invincible."

"If it were a couple of years ago, having a doctor unfamiliar with pediatrics perform the treatment could have led to the child's death due to an excessive amount of adrenaline injected."

"For example, if you, Fang, are unsure of the dosage and administer too much, or even administer too much intravenously, even if the rescue was performed correctly, you may still be considered to have caused death by negligence."

"Therefore, self-preservation is indeed very important."

"But if you ask me why I did it knowingly?"

Laurent shook his head: "Health is at stake, life is entrusted to me."

"Regardless of other circumstances, I am now a medical student, or rather a doctor, although I don't have a medical license, but..."

Laurent said, word by word:

"I am determined to do my utmost to relieve human suffering, promote perfect health, uphold the sanctity and honor of medicine, and heal the wounded and the dying, no matter how difficult the task."

At this moment, even the wind fell silent.

Fang Qingxue stared at Laurent in silence for a long time.

Heaven gave Laurent a chance to be reborn.

It also gave him a pair of special eyes, and even some other unique gifts.

So go and snatch other people's lives from the clutches of death, and save the injured.

Laurent did not consider it a risky thing.

Save people!

The only purpose of medical technology is to save lives.

As the ancients said, one should either advance to save the world or retreat to save the people; if one cannot be a good prime minister, one should at least be a good doctor.

A good doctor.

Health is at stake, life is entrusted to us.

"Laurent."

Fang Qingxue spoke up.

"Um?"

Fang Qingxue waved her fist: "You think you'll become the best doctor!"

"Um."

Laurent nodded affirmatively.

"But Laurent, why are you staring at my feet?" Fang Qingxue asked.

"Just call me Laurent from now on."

"Then you can call me Xiaoxue from now on," Fang Qingxue said boldly.

"But why are you still looking at my feet?"

Laurent looked up: "Because I saw the ice cream was almost completely melted, I was wondering if I should pick it up and eat it first, otherwise it would be too wasteful."

"The water in the supermarket refrigerator should be frozen by now, I'll go get this."

"..."

Just moments ago, Fang Qingxue was still moved.

Looking at Laurent, Fang Qingxue sighed, "Laurent, what you just said sounded really weird."

Laurent exclaimed excitedly, "Twenty-five dollars for an ice cream! It would be a waste not to eat it!"

Just kidding, when he was at the firm, Laurent would even try every means to evade the electricity bill.

They even try to reduce printing costs for themselves, and some even bought a printer and print at home every day, resolutely refusing to use the printers that the firm charges for.

Laurent never advances travel expenses for other lawsuits.

"..."

Just now, Fang Qingxue's eyes still held a hint of emotion.

But now, looking at Laurent's serious expression...

Fang Qingxue silently picked up the ice cream.

"I'll eat it. I'll buy you another one later."

"Okay, thank you, Miss."

Laurent said sincerely.

Fang Qingxue remained silent.

He silently ate the ice cream.

Ok……

As expected, it didn't taste good.
