After the evening news release by the Anyang Daily, more and more new media joined in, exposing the incident at the Second Provincial Hospital on a large scale!

By the afternoon, even short video platforms like Douyin and Kuaishou had manipulated footage of Song Qiang’s every move into comical videos.

The Second Provincial Hospital suddenly found itself in the eye of the storm!

As for the former hospital president Fang Yonglin, he didn’t seem the least bit angry. In his words, this was a test for the Second Provincial Hospital. If they could withstand it, they would be able to move forward and do even better.

The media fervently discussed the issue, and the public mocked and jeered, quickly turning Song Qiang into the target of everyone’s arrows.

Even Xiang Ying, who came to the hospital for a check-up that day, was almost dragged into the fray!

“Privilege abuser! Even queue-jumping for a doctor’s appointment with privileges, do you also get to queue-jump when you die?”

“The hospital has been ruined by people like you!”

“All medical disputes are caused by leaders like you, who suck up to the powerful and bully the weak!”

“Agreed, I also think that the reason for such strained doctor-patient relationships in society today is interference from this trash. A doctor’s job is to save lives, and it’s normal for them to earn more with more work. But it’s these people, these idle leaders who leech off the doctors, making them prescribe more drugs for kickbacks. You are the catalyst for medical disturbances! Trash… may you not die well!”

“The previous commenter makes sense. I know that many hospitals set quotas for doctors. If you can’t meet the target or prescribe enough medication, your department’s year-end bonus is cut. To avoid this, doctors are forced to become mere prescription tools!”

“I suggest cleaning out the trash in the medical field to bring forth an era of integrity for the healthcare industry!”

“Hey? Haven’t you guys noticed? That woman claimed to be the board chairman of Reed Pharmaceuticals… With the Director of the Medical Affairs Department being so obsequious, could there be some hidden issue?”

“Nonsense, of course, how much money does she offer as a tribute every year? If you don’t work properly for her, why would she pay you…”

…

…

It was impossible to stop the variety of comments.

The collective voices of the public were even harder to contain than a flood!

Song Qiang frantically sought people to respond to the crisis, deleting malicious comments, issuing public statements, and even using the hospital’s official media, but to no avail.

The public’s interest in medical incidents was just too high!

Why?

Because every person is a potential patient. Who can guarantee a lifetime without any illness, never needing to visit a hospital?

Everyone fears encountering such situations in hospitals in the future!

Moreover, the phenomenon of queue-jumping using privileges, relationships, and various other special rights is all too common. Anyone who has been to a hospital has probably seen it happen, but there’s little they could do besides venting in frustration.

But now things were different. When everyone started vigorously discussing the issue in the media, all the thoughts and emotions bottled up inside erupted like a geyser!

The emergence of Chen Cang coincidentally became the representation of a good doctor in everyone’s eyes.

People wished to encounter such good doctors in life and in hospitals.

Yet, such good doctors are oppressed to death by so-called leaders, the so-called Director of Medical Affairs, and the so-called disciplinary actions, possibly remaining low-level doctors all their lives!

To the public, this was an outright desecration!

Song Qiang desecrated their perception of a good doctor and their longing for the medical profession!

How could they not be angry?

This was clearly modern-day bullying by power and abuse of privilege!

A minor mistake, made public, treated as if it were unforgiveable!

People sarcastically referred to the “conscientious law enforcement” and “strictness with others” of the Medical Affairs Department at the Second Provincial Hospital!

Song Qiang was on the verge of collapse. His interpersonal relationships, so meticulously cultivated over time, suddenly crumbled, leaving him with nothing to fall back on.

No one would help him!

Sitting dejectedly in a corner of his office, Song Qiang took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly.

He knew the world was cruel, which is why he was so calculating in his dealings and careful in his conduct, yet even so, he still stumbled!

It was then that Song Qiang suddenly received a call from Tan Liguo, the secretary of the Second Provincial Hospital.

After answering the call, Tan Liguo suddenly said, “Hurry up and wrap this up. It’s gotten too big, and Xiang Ying and… are almost getting dragged down.”

Song Qiang’s face changed abruptly!

“`

Suddenly realizing it, the key person in this incident was Xiang Ying!

If…

At this thought, Song Qiang’s face underwent a drastic change, he couldn’t let it happen…

What to do?

What to do?

The only one who could help him now was his own wife!

Song Qiang had quickly become the head of the medical department at Provincial Hospital No. 2, and had held the position for many years, all thanks to a well-connected father-in-law.

Should he seek help from his father-in-law?

Thinking this, Song Qiang felt somewhat tempted…

Perhaps his father-in-law wouldn’t stand idly by and watch him sink.

But!

At that moment, Song Qiang abruptly realized he shouldn’t do this!

It was pointless.

Preserving himself at this time held no meaning whatsoever!

Only one thing!

The only thing that could save him was one thing!

It was to take on all the responsibility, to intercept this incident.

Maybe by doing so, he might have a peaceful ending?

Thinking this, Song Qiang took a deep breath and let out a bitter laugh.

He thought of Chen Cang, he thought of settling accounts with Chen Cang, he thought of many things.

But he shook his head, let it go…

These were all naive and immature thoughts.

A road that shouldn’t be taken still demands three visits.

There was no need to obsess over this anymore, on the contrary, he owed Chen Cang an apology.

He hoped Chen Cang would forgive him.

Feeling this, Song Qiang sensed a great weight lift from his shoulders.

He stood up, pushed the door open, and went out.

…

…

The next day, a piece of news was released from Provincial Hospital No. 2.

Comrade Song Qiang actively resigned from the position of head of the medical department at Provincial Hospital No. 2… and publicly apologized to Comrade Chen Cang for the serious negative impact his mistakes had brought to the hospital… The hospital revoked all disciplinary actions against Comrade Chen Cang…

This news instantly hit the headlines of Anyang City’s news.

Suddenly, it also quelled the incident at Provincial Hospital No. 2.

It seemed the turning of the page on events happened that quickly; that day, news on similar matters in Anyang City also disappeared at once, with the few remaining bits unable to garner much attention.

After all, a complete resolution had been reached for the incident, with participation from various reasons; in short, this matter drew to a close.

Inside the emergency department office of Provincial Hospital No. 2, everyone was cheering for Chen Cang!

Yet only Yuan Fan was left with lingering fears, feeling uneasy…

He couldn’t have imagined the situation progressing to such a state, with Song Qiang resigning out of culpability.

What about himself?

Could it be that no one would find out about him?

With this thought, Yuan Fan couldn’t help but worry…
