Chapter 793: [(793)] The doctor never thought about saving a murderer Chapter 793: [(793)] The doctor never thought about saving a murderer The more people there were, the louder Li Yaxi screamed, “It’s not me, it’s not me!”
Nurses tried to approach her to comfort her but found it incredibly difficult and looked to the doctors: What’s the matter with this person?
Lin Hao’s face was so angry that it seemed as if fire was about to spurt from it, thinking to himself how unlucky he was to encounter such a neurotic patient.
“Which department’s patient is she?” Jin Tianyu asked. Despite Li Yaxi not wearing a patient’s attire, it was obvious she was a patient who had escaped from somewhere.
“She’s a patient from our department,” Song Xueling replied, a coldness flashing across his somber brown eyes as he spoke.
“She’s your department’s patient, yet how did you let her run to our department and grab a knife?” The on-duty cardiologists and nurses could not bear it anymore, questioning him.
“Enough,” Jin Tianyu called out to his colleagues. Now was not the time to pursue responsibility but to first ensure the patient was settled. Then, turning back, he asked Song Xueling, “What’s her story? What do you plan to do about it?”
How to handle this patient, Song Xueling thought to himself, if he could, he would probably want to explode on the spot just like Lin Hao.
He had racked his brains over how to treat this person, only for her to pull this stunt when he was not paying attention.
How was he supposed to continue treating this type of patient as a doctor?
He was a doctor who had never cared about anything beyond medicine, and now he felt as though a corner of his world had crumbled, which was hard for him to accept. He didn’t expect to have to save a murderer; a murderer should be executed by a firing squad.
From his silent face and the tight line his thin lips formed, as though they were on the verge of exploding, other medical staff could imagine what his mood was like at that moment.
Having thought it over, the cardiologists were no longer holding it against him. If they were in his position, they probably wouldn’t fare much better.
Doctor Song was in agony, and Xie Wanying stepped in to clarify for both Doctor Song and the cardiologists, “This patient is indeed from our department. She has a somewhat deviant personality, histrionic in nature, and likes to express herself in exaggerated ways to gain others’ attention and sympathy. It’s possible that her abnormal personality was caused by her family. These past few days since she was admitted, her relatives have exhibited some odd behaviors and haven’t visited her; we’ve tried repeatedly to contact her family, but unfortunately–”
“Her family never came, did they?”
“Right. The head nurse has gone to comfort her several times. But she only wants her own mother. Yet her mother doesn’t come. We’ve called many times but got no response.”
So even her mother didn’t answer the doctor’s calls? Li Yaxi, who had been hugging her knees and crying, lifted her head to look at Xie Wanying: Does that mean the doctors tried calling for her?
“This incident today was an accident. I hope you won’t blame her, nor Doctor Song. Let her be in peace,” Xie Wanying said with a voice slightly choked.
The others were shocked at her statement.
Song Xueling’s gaze swept over her, passing a look of disbelief: Isn’t she your friend? How can you be calmer than me?
He prepared himself mentally, expecting her to grab his clothes and curse him to death. After all, it was his patient who had caused her friend to be seriously injured.
“It’s not me who wanted to say this. My friend requested it just before she fell unconscious,” Xie Wanying spoke in a lowered voice.
All those present were deeply shaken.
Her mother had said that her childhood friend was very skilled at dealing with people, a girl who had been very adept at social interaction since she was young. Despite the many injustices that Wu Lixuan faced in her childhood, she chose not to harbor resentment. She did not want to blame anyone, nor complain about the doctors, because her own friend was a doctor too.
