The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 5: Chapter 5 Medical Dispute: The Medical Authority Prescribed the Wrong Medicine



Qingwu paused, then slightly frowned, "Marriage arrangement? Isn't there another daughter in the family?"

"Miss Shaojia said she's not a daughter of the Shen Family and is unworthy to take the spot of the heiress. The Elder spoke, what's yours can't be taken by anyone!"

Old Zhou took a call cheerily, spoke respectfully for a few moments, then looked toward Qingwu after hanging up.

"Miss, the Elder wants you to go home first to see him. You know he's not in good health and has been thinking about you for many years..."

Qingwu had no objections, nodded, "Alright, but the gift I prepared for Grandpa hasn't arrived yet; wouldn't it be inappropriate to go empty-handed?"

Old Zhou hurriedly waved his hand, "If you're willing to visit, that's already wonderful. The Elder doesn't care about those things."

Elder Shen had lived so many years, what good things hadn't he seen?

Old Zhou was more concerned about Qingwu declining to go.

It was already challenging to think about preparing a gift for the Elder in advance.

Considering the Lin Family, living in such a small villa, Old Zhou didn't think Qingwu could produce a remarkably good gift.

But Qingwu's words were gracious, polite, respectful, yet dignified, greatly improving Old Zhou's impression of her.

Such poise, truly worthy of being our family's eldest daughter!

"Alright then, I'll take you over there."

Half an hour later, the helicopter reverted to a regular car, smoothly driving into Beijing's Qiao Xi Hospital.

Old Zhou handed Qingwu a piece of paper with the ward number written on it.

"Miss, the Elder doesn't like too many people around. I'll go to wash the car, could you go up yourself? I'll wait here for you!"

Elder Shen had a short temper, becoming somewhat odd since falling ill in recent years. Old Zhou looked at Qingwu apologetically.

Qingwu took the paper and nodded calmly, "Okay."

As she reached the third floor, several rowdy children in the hallway knocked over a nurse's cart, sending the equipment-filled trolley barreling toward Qingwu!

"Watch out!"

The nurses exclaimed in alarm.

"Oh no, that's the medicine for Bed Three. If it spills, it's all over..."

Qingwu was just about to dodge when she overheard the nurses' conversation.

Bed Three?

Wasn't that Elder Shen's bed number?

The small cart lost control, speeding up as it barreled toward Qingwu.

In the chaos, Qingwu made a swift move, lightly using her knee to stabilize the small cart firmly.

Not a single drop of medicine spilled from the cart!

The nurses were stunned!

Such agility, so deft!

"Young lady, are you alright?"

Qingwu shook her head, just preparing to return the small cart to the nurse, when suddenly, a plump woman lunged at her.

The woman's hand reached out to grab Qingwu's arm, but Qingwu deftly evaded it at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

The woman missed her target, but seized Qingwu's clothes when she let her guard down, her loud voice echoing for everyone on the floor to hear.

"Young lady, come judge for us! Qiao Xi Hospital killed a person, how can we live?"

"Qiao Xi Hospital killed my son and won't take responsibility. Young lady, you must judge for us!"

The woman began wailing loudly.

"Qiao Xi Hospital, compensate my son! Give me back my son's life!"

"The malpractice killed, your hospital must pay with a life!"

Patients emerged from every ward to watch the commotion.

Medical staff had seen it all before, as the nurses rushed over to pull Qingwu away.

The woman pushed a nurse to the ground, wailing, "Oh heavens!! How could my son's life be so bitter!"

The nurse, overwhelmed with annoyance, frowned, "Patient's family, you signed the surgery agreement before the operation. It was post-operative care negligence that led to infection and death. What does that have to do with our hospital?"

The woman's voice grew even louder, her wailing buzzing in Qingwu's ears.

"No connection? You say no connection?! My son died in your hospital! The malpractice cost my son a life; you must pay with a life!"

The woman always relied on shouting to speak, full of vitality, and her tirade left the medical staff struggling.

After shouting, the woman pulled out a prescription and sat heavily on the ground, continuing to wail.

"Why does no one believe me? My son came to me in a dream, saying it was all your hospital's fault!"

The nurse was extremely annoyed yet couldn't directly evict her.

"Stop spewing nonsense. Your son coming in a dream is evidence? Superstitions! Security, quickly, take her out!"

The woman lay on the floor, throwing a tantrum, determined not to leave without a resolution.

A cold voice sounded above her.

"Is this your son's prescription? There's an issue with this medicine."

The woman's crying stopped abruptly!

She looked up to see Qingwu calmly examining her prescription, her calm gaze like water, yet stirring ripples.

The woman became excited, raising her voice again, "I knew someone could see it! Finally, someone is standing up for me, Qiao Xi Hospital's malpractice cost my son a life!"

This woman came by every few days, and the entire floor's medical staff was suffering, fed up with this kind of aggressive troublemaking.

Doctors looked at Qingwu with hostility.

"Young lady, you can't say whatever you want. What makes you think there's an issue with our hospital's prescription?

"How can you, at your age, speak out like this? Do you understand this prescription, do you even know the patient's symptoms?"

Qingwu glanced at her, her gaze calm.

"Glycyrrhizin suppresses the synthesis and release of prostaglandins, inhibits 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity, and raises patients' blood pressure. This is common knowledge. This prescription contains excessive glycyrrhizin, causing the patient's blood pressure to surge and leading to death."

Meeting her eyes, the nurse was at a loss.

"You're just a high school student, talking common sense with me? This was prescribed by an expert team!"

This young girl, reading some books, now believes she understands medicine? Without a lesson, she won't know what respect means!

An old voice came.

"Enough, what's all the commotion?"

The doctors and nurses immediately fell silent, respectfully looking at the elder standing at the ward's doorway.

He wore a patient's gown, holding a dragon-headed cane, exuding an imposing aura without anger.

The nurse rolled her eyes.

"Elder Leader, relatives of the former patient from Room Eight are causing trouble again, and this young girl insists our hospital medicine has issues!"

"The medicine from Room Eight was personally determined by Chen Jianhong, an expert from Capital Medical University, highly authoritative."

"Maybe she snuck in here as a spy. I suggest having security remove her!"

The old man coldly snorted, dignified and majestic.

"Letting spies sneak in, is your hospital's security is not doing its job?"

The medical staff, quick-eyed and quick-handed, rushed to seize Qingwu's arm to drag her out.

Qingwu smoothly sidestepped, using slight force with her lower leg to slide herself away, the nurse not even able to touch her clothes.

The woman shielded Qingwu behind her with one hand.

"I see who dares? Anyone touches this girl, I'll die right here!"

The medical staff's heads were aching, with relatives causing trouble and a young girl spouting nonsense, the scene reached a chaotic pinnacle.

"Quickly, throw them out!"

"They must have a problem, coming here to talk nonsense!"

Qingwu: "..."

She merely mentioned the prescription had a common sense error, how did everyone respond like they went mad?

Qingwu's gaze remained calm, "Is Chen Jianhong so great? He can still make common sense mistakes."

She remembered this name; last month, he even emailed inviting her to join their team, but she felt there was no growth opportunity, and declined.

Chen Jianhong went crazy contacting her after seeing her publications in top medical journals such as NEJM.

Those papers were things she wrote casually when she had nothing else to do.

Her words successfully infuriated the surrounding doctors!

Professor Chen Jianhong was a prominent figure in the medical field, an authoritative expert on cardiovascular diseases, a recipient of the Hua Country's National Medal, and carried significant weight in the medical community.

Now he was being questioned by a young girl!

"What are you saying? Is Professor Chen Jianhong someone you can doubt?"

Qingwu replied calmly, "I can contact Chen Jianhong and have him admit his own mistakes."
