Chapter 300: Heartache
"The patient’s husband arrived later, and when he found out that his wife had died, he was so agitated that he decided to have a conversation with Professor Qu. Professor Qu wasn’t prepared for it, and was attacked by a knife that he pulled from his clothes, injuring his arm. I arrived after the fact and got a little bit hurt while restraining him," recounted Si Chen.
Si Chen’s articulation was exemplary; he described the incident clearly and calmly, even skimming over the part about his own injury as if it were a trivial matter. But the reality was far from that.
The patient’s family aimed specifically to slash Professor Qu’s arm with a knife. When they saw Si Chen override, they tried to slash his arm too, but Si Chen dodged, and though his arm remained unscathed, he got a knife wound in his back.
"They refused to sign the surgical consent form, then laid the blame on the doctors. His son must have inherited his mind, hence not signing the consent form, right? His son’s ignorance cost his mother’s life, and then he injures Professor Qu and you ignorantly. Do this father and son hold a deep grudge against the hospital?" Tong Yao was so infuriated that she felt like she was spewing fire. Thankfully, Si Chen’s arm remained unscathed.
Only Professor Qu was to be pitied.
Such a good and capable doctor was ruined by an ignorant father and son; it was truly lamentable.
"He’s already been apprehended, so there’s no need to worry," Si Chen consoled softly while ruffling her hair. "Incidents like these are a matter of probability. The best-case scenario is that they don’t happen, but if they do, they are unavoidable. Some family members just can’t accept the death of their loved ones and may act out irrationally. We can’t change their minds, we can only manage to protect ourselves."
Thinking of Professor Qu, Si Chen had a pang of pain in his eyes. The medical community had lost a great talent due to the actions of one ignorant individual.
