Sent to the countryside, I turned the health center into a top-tier hospital.

Around noon, we finally arrived at the Siping Township Health Center. The five people who had been excited and lively were now all fast asleep.

Chen Ping got out of the car, intending to call out to a few people, but he found that there were many people gathered at the entrance of the health center.

Dozens of villagers surrounded the gate entrance, pointing and talking, creating a noisy and chaotic scene that completely blocked the way in and out.

Chen Ping walked over with a frown, and people made way for him when they saw him.

Chen Ping walked into the health center and saw a body lying stiffly in the center of the courtyard, completely covered by a white sheet, its outline rigid and cold.

The white cloth draped over the ground, fluttering gently in the wind, exuding an indescribable eerie and oppressive atmosphere.

Around the deceased, four or five men, women, and children knelt on the ground, their cries deafening, tears streaming down their faces, wailing and wailing incessantly.

The most glaring thing was a white banner with black characters that they were holding high. The handwriting was messy and glaring, and it read: "Incompetent doctors at Siping Township Health Center are harming people and killing them by using drugs indiscriminately!"

Chen Ping's gaze was fixed on that group of people, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart skipped a beat.

It's them!

He remembered this family very clearly.

A few nights ago, a middle-aged man, drunk, slipped and fell off a cliff, sustaining serious injuries.

He got up in the middle of the night and spent more than four hours pulling the person back from the brink of death.

At that time, the patient's vital signs stabilized, but he had multiple fractures throughout his body.

Chen Ping then had his family call 120 (emergency services) and then he was taken to the county hospital.

How could someone who was successfully rescued and transferred to another hospital die in just two days?

Even more outrageous is that the person died in the county hospital, but instead of holding the county hospital accountable, this group of people dragged the body back to the health center to hold a funeral and cause trouble.

absurd!

This is absolutely absurd!

A nameless rage surged within Chen Ping, and his chest felt heavy and suffocating.

Zhao Guosheng was already exhausted and overwhelmed by this farce, and he had been trying his best to appease and persuade the other party, but to no avail.

Seeing Chen Ping return was like seeing a lifeline; he quickly pushed through the crowd to greet him, his face full of helplessness and frustration.

"Dr. Chen, you're finally back!"

Zhao Guosheng's voice was hoarse with exhaustion. "This family brought the body over just as dawn broke, laid it out in the yard, blocked the gate, cried and made a scene, insisting that it was caused by our clinic. No matter how we explained, they wouldn't listen. I couldn't stop them anymore."

Chen Ping's face was cold, his eyes fixed on the group of people crying and making a scene in the courtyard, just about to ask a question.

A clear, terrified scream suddenly came from behind.

"what!"

It's Li Mengmeng.

Five people got out of the car. These interns, who grew up in the city and had never seen a scene of life and death, were immediately frozen in place when they landed and were faced with a white sheet covering a corpse and people kneeling and wailing.

Li Mengmeng, who was already timid and shy, turned pale with fright, trembled all over, and subconsciously took a step back, clutching the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands, not daring to lift her head.

The other four weren't much better off. Wang Hao had abandoned his usual honest and cheerful demeanor and looked flustered.

Liu Zixuan also lost his usual quick wit, his brows furrowed and his expression tense.

Xia Yutong appeared to be trying to remain calm, but her eyes betrayed a clear sense of panic.

Zhang Lei remained calm, though a hint of seriousness appeared in his eyes.

The scene was chaotic, with deaths and medical disputes, which could easily frighten these students who had just graduated and affect their mentality.

Chen Ping acted decisively, immediately calling out, "Li Fang, Xiao Yan!"

The two men, who were also maintaining order, rushed over when they heard their names called.

"First, take these five new interns to the dormitory in the backyard, settle them in, and calm them down."

Chen Ping spoke very quickly and decisively.

"Okay! Coming right away!"

Li Fang and Sun Xiaoyan didn't dare to delay. They quickly stepped forward and gently but quickly comforted the frightened students, leading them to the backyard to completely avoid the farce in the front yard.

Once the students had completely disappeared from sight, Chen Ping could no longer suppress his anger and turned to stride toward the family members who had caused the disturbance.

His gaze was icy as he directly questioned, "I was the one who resuscitated him. The entire process was compliant with regulations, and the medication was prescribed correctly. I had already brought him back from shock, and his vital signs were all stable. I personally handed him over to the county hospital for transfer and treatment!"

"Since the person died while receiving treatment at the county hospital, instead of going to the county hospital to verify and hold them accountable, you brought the body to our health center to cause trouble. What exactly do you mean by this?!"

The deceased's wife, a middle-aged woman in her forties, with tears streaming down her face, suddenly got up from the ground upon hearing this, rushed forward like a tantrum, and pointed at Chen Ping's nose while screaming.

"What do you mean you saved him! You're all lying! The doctor at the county hospital said it yourself, my husband couldn't be saved at all! It was your clinic that gave him all the wrong medication, misdiagnosed and mistreated him, making his condition worse!"

"By the time he was transferred to the county hospital, his internal organs were already damaged, and he died of organ failure in less than two days! This is all your responsibility! You must pay compensation, you must pay with your life!"

The deceased's son, standing nearby, echoed him, his face full of arrogance, waving a banner and roaring, "That's right! You're the ones who killed him! Don't try to shirk responsibility!"

"If you don't give us an explanation and pay compensation today, we won't leave! We'll block your hospital entrance every day, making it impossible for you to provide medical care or operate your business!"

The family members argued back and forth, their cries mixed with curses, acting unreasonably and distorting the truth.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping felt a surge of anger rising to his head, making his hands and feet go cold with rage.

He has practiced medicine for many years, saving lives and healing the wounded without ever asking for anything in return, but he can't stand this kind of black-and-white, ingratitude-returning extortion!

He stayed up all night to snatch his life back from the jaws of death, but in the end, instead of a word of thanks, he was bitten by someone, accused of being a quack doctor who harmed people, and even extorted and made trouble!

"Are you even human? Didn't you see what was happening when I was rescuing you? I was the one who told you to call 120 (the emergency number)."

"Do you believe whatever the county hospital says now?"

"Referral records, emergency records, medication lists, and vital sign monitoring data are all available!"

"It's all in black and white, and the whole process is traceable! Every step I took to save that person was legal and compliant!"

"The county hospital treated someone who died, and they don't want to take responsibility. They just casually threw out a medical bill, and you blindly accepted it, then turned around and tried to extort money from our health center?"

"Is it because you don't dare mess with the county hospital, and you think our health center is easy to bully?"

That hit the nail on the head.

The family causing the disturbance instantly froze, their eyes darting away, and their crying subconsciously paused for a beat.

They know the truth better than anyone else.

The county hospital has extensive connections and powerful backers, while this family has no power or influence. They dare not cause trouble, dare not pursue accountability, and dare not argue or sue with the large hospital.

Township health centers are small in scale, easy to manipulate and bully. They seem like easy targets who can be easily extorted for compensation or appeasement money by making a fuss or acting like a rogue.

So they simply pretended to be ignorant, took the blame from the county hospital, and pushed all the responsibility onto the Siping Township Health Center, intending to extort money by causing trouble.
