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

"To put it bluntly, it's blatant medical malpractice dispute, repaying kindness with enmity."

Chen Ping spoke frankly and without any pretense, "The deceased a few days ago fell down the mountain while drunk. I worked through the night to save him and pulled him back from shock. All the rescue procedures, medications, and referral records were clean and without any problems."

"The next person was taken to the county hospital for treatment, but died of organ failure two days later."

"And what happened? The county hospital has a big reputation and strong backing, so they didn't dare to cause trouble or argue. They only pick on the weak and come to our township health center to extort money from us."

Chen Ping scoffed, his tone laced with sarcasm, and he even couldn't help but swear: "Damn it, to put it bluntly, they're just a bunch of shameless trash."

"Many people have this disgusting mentality nowadays. Regardless of whether the doctor is responsible or not, regardless of the truth, as long as someone dies, I will make a scene first."

"Whether there are dates or not, just throw three balls at a time. If you win the argument, you can extort a sum of money as compensation and get the money for nothing."

"Even if you lose the argument, you won't suffer any losses. It costs nothing, and at most you'll get a few words of criticism from the police."

"They're just like those scumbags who stage accidents to extort money on the street; they're utterly shameless."

The five students were stunned, feeling both angry and frustrated.

For the first time, they truly felt that doctors saving lives sometimes don't receive gratitude in return, but instead face unscrupulous extortion and slander.

Seeing their thoughtful expressions, Chen Ping earnestly instructed them, "I'm telling you this today so that you'll remember it."

"You will most likely encounter similar rotten people and rotten things again on your medical journey."

"Remember my words: as long as our own medical practices are in accordance with regulations, procedures, and we have a clear conscience, we must never compromise, and we must never accept our bad luck, lose money, or suffer losses just to avoid trouble."

"If we have to fight back, we'll fight back to the bitter end!"

"We medical students dedicate ourselves to saving lives, treating the sick and healing the wounded. We are angels in white, saving lives and healing the wounded, not cash cows for these scoundrels to make money off!"

These words were not empty talk; they were straightforward, hard-hitting, and full of confidence.

The cafeteria was quiet. All five young people stopped laughing and joking and nodded solemnly.

At this moment, their understanding of the medical profession is no longer just theoretical in textbooks, but has gained real weight and a bottom line that cannot be trampled on.

Refuse to be taken advantage of, stand firm to the end

"Alright, hurry up and eat, it'll get cold soon. There will be plenty of time to lecture you later."

Cui Ying urged her on.

If you keep talking like this, you might as well not eat.

"Yes, you can learn slowly later. Hurry up and eat!" Chen Ping said with a smile, his serious expression fading.

After lunch, Chen Ping told the five people to go to the dormitory to rest.

Everyone else returned to their posts for a short rest, and the courtyard was quiet except for the soft rustling of leaves in the wind.

Everyone else could rest, but Chen Ping was burning with anger inside, unable to sleep at all.

Today's incident is not just about this family; the county hospital is also pretending to be ignorant, shirking responsibility completely, and pushing the Siping Township Health Center out as a scapegoat.

Chen Ping, seething with anger, took out his phone, found the number of Director Ma from the county hospital in his contacts, and dialed it without hesitation.

Chen Ping and Dean Ma were quite familiar with each other; Chen Ping had even helped treat patients at the county hospital.

Logically speaking, given their relationship, Dean Ma should have given him some face.

But what happened today was truly disgusting.

The phone was answered after two rings, and Dean Ma's voice came from the other end: "Oh? Dr. Chen, what a rare guest! What brings you here to call me?"

Chen Ping didn't mince words and went straight to the point: "Dean Ma, I'm calling with only one thing in mind. The patient who fell off the cliff and was transferred to another hospital died after being treated at your county hospital. Why is your hospital turning around and shifting the blame onto our Siping Township Health Center?"

Dean Ma on the other end of the phone paused noticeably, remained silent for a brief moment, and then spoke with a bewildered tone.

"Huh? Is that so?"

"I really don't know, I've been busy with other things these past few days."

"Don't worry, I'll have someone check with the medical department right away to see what happened."

These words were spoken flawlessly and seemed sincere, but in reality they were full of perfunctory remarks.

A classic case of feigning ignorance.

Chen Ping tightened his grip on his phone slightly, a cold smirk playing on his lips.

You're kidding me.

A life was lost, which constitutes a major medical malpractice incident.

As the head of the county hospital, how could he be completely unaware?

It's clear that he knew but didn't report it, tacitly approved and condoned it, and there's even a high probability that he instructed his subordinates to shift the blame and dump all the dirty water on the grassroots health center in order to protect the reputation and goodwill of the county hospital.

If you don't want to take responsibility or leave a stain on your record, then pick on the weak.

Chen Ping was completely enlightened and had no more scruples. He no longer gave the other party any face. "Dean Ma, you don't need to pretend anymore, and you don't need to investigate anymore."

"I know the whole story perfectly well."

"I rushed to the hospital overnight to save the patient. His vital signs are stable, the treatment process was entirely compliant with regulations, and he was transferred to your county hospital in a complete manner."

"In the end, the person died in your hospital, and you just said that there were problems with our initial treatment, and then you shifted all the blame onto us."

"Let me tell you straight, I have already called the police and hired a professional lawyer."

"Whether it's the patient's family members who stage a protest and extort money, or the county hospital that tries to shirk responsibility and distort the facts, I will sue them all and hold them accountable."

"I have complete records of the entire emergency rescue process, medication details, 120 referral handover forms, and on-site surveillance footage. The chain of evidence is complete and intact."

"Just wait to respond to the lawsuit."

Upon hearing this, Dean Ma on the other end of the phone panicked, instantly abandoning his feigned ignorance and becoming urgent in his tone.

"Hey, Dr. Chen, what are you doing! It's such a small matter, there's no need to escalate it to the point of a lawsuit, is there?"

"You acted impulsively! You absolutely acted impulsively!"

"We're all acquaintances in the industry, we see each other all the time. Any problems should be resolved privately. Taking it to court won't benefit either hospital!"

Chen Ping sneered, listening in silence without uttering a word.

Seeing that Chen Ping wouldn't budge, Dean Ma continued, "Dr. Chen, how about this? I'll deal with any staff members who talk nonsense and try to shift blame seriously!"

"As for compensation for the family, you don't need to worry."

"If they insist that your health center pay compensation, our county hospital will cover the entire amount."

"You should just take the blame and let this matter drop. Why make it a lose-lose situation?"

Chen Ping chuckled inwardly upon hearing these words.

Dean Ma has a good plan.

To put it bluntly, it's about paying money to buy peace of mind.

The county hospital pays the bill, but the Siping Township Health Center bears all the responsibility, blame, and bad reputation.

Outsiders only spread rumors that the medical skills at Siping Township Health Center are poor, that people have died from their illnesses, and that they eventually settle the matter by paying compensation.

The county hospital spent a sum of money to clean up the mess and preserve its reputation; the stain was all on Chen Ping and the Siping Township Health Center.

While it appears to be a concession and a safety net, it actually treats the Siping Township Health Center like a sucker, making a fool of it.

Chen Ping showed no gratitude whatsoever, and the last shred of friendship in his heart was completely exhausted.

He didn't even bother with unnecessary words, simply stating coldly, "No need."

Before Dean Ma could offer any further explanation, Chen Ping abruptly hung up the phone.

The next second, the phone screen lit up again, and Dean Ma called back immediately, again and again, very persistently.

Chen Ping's eyes were icy cold. He casually pressed the button, turned off the mute function, and didn't look at it again.

Things that can be solved with money are never big problems.

But dignity, integrity, and the bottom line of medical practice must never be bought with money.

If he admits to this fabricated responsibility today, Siping Township Health Center will forever be seen as a scapegoat.

He, Chen Ping, will always be that quack doctor with poor medical skills who kills people.

He wouldn't stand for this humiliation.

He shouldn't be the one to get ripped off.
