Chapter 202: A lost battle
Mingshen tapped his foot on the floor back to back like how a customer stood in a long queue in impatience. He had an urge to do something but he didn’t know what he was supposed to do which only caused him immense frustration.
"Of course I know I did the right thing. I always do and I can take care of the consequences too."
Jia raised her brow. "Either you are underestimating the Medical Association or overestimating your position in it. This is not a company and you are not a CEO where you can rule it as some tyrannical Boss."
The corner of his mouth twitched.
"And it becomes even more difficult precisely because you are such a popular doctor. An influential doctor going against medical ethics - the other doctors won’t see your actions as saving Ehuang but instead playing with her life. That’s why it’s important to be a little humble in life."
"What do you mean by that?"
"How many doctors in that association do you actually get along with?"
He looked away, seriously counting in his head.
A sigh escaped her lips. "You proved my point. When push comes to the stove, how many of them will actually support you? How many would vote in your favor? They won’t because they see Yang Mingshen as somebody too proud, arrogant and egoistic, which you are, and that is not going to help you in your battle of keeping your medical license. I am sure more than half of them would think along the lines of -
Yang Mingshen did the surgery only to prove that he is capable of doing any challenging and difficult procedure.
They will take your attitude towards this whole incident as more of self-satisfaction and self-serving rather than genuinely helping Ehuang."
