Hearing this, Ann Vaughn walked towards the examination table without any change in expression, not intending to intervene.
She knew Sherry’s temper very well; Sherry wasn’t feeling wronged for herself but was indignant for her sake. If she stopped her, it would only chill the hearts of outsiders.
Seeing Ann Vaughn remain silent, Sherry also let out a sigh of relief.
The few people ntioned earlier looked extrely displeased, wishing they could slap themselves.
If they had known it was a misunderstanding, why did they bother speaking up? This clinic was legendary, and almost anyone who ca here, regardless of their illness, eventually got better.
The opportunity to get a free consultation and dicine was like a gift from the heavens; getting an appointnt was sothing to thank their ancestors for.
Yet they foolishly threw it away!
"Is the person in charge of this clinic here? We’ve received reports of reckless prescriptions causing harm, and upon investigation, the situation is indeed true. Let your leader co out and accompany us to the police departnt."
A few n dressed in deep blue uniforms suddenly entered the clinic. After showing their identification, they fixed their gaze on Ann Vaughn.
The custors who hadn’t left yet were shocked, reckless prescriptions causing harm?!
Ann Vaughn furrowed her slender eyebrows and exchanged a look with Sherry.
Why is it that tonight, just as one wave calms, another arises?
"I am the person in charge here, Aquarelle Vaughn." Ann Vaughn stood up, walked over to the officers, her pretty face calm, "Please show the docunts for inspection."
The uniford officers handed over the docunts, and after Ann Vaughn looked them over and confird their authenticity, her heart sank.
"Are you sure there’s no mistake? If you’re accusing us of reckless prescriptions causing harm, you need to present evidence." Sherry frowned and said.
Ann Vaughn raised her hand to stop her and said in a low voice, "The situation is the sa as last ti; soone is manipulating things from the shadows. Saying anything is useless. I’ll go with them to the police departnt to see what’s going on. You go back and contact Brother Shane, and don’t let Kenny know."
These people ca prepared and took a legitimate route. If she refused to cooperate, it would only make the situation uglier.
The only strategy now is to take things one step at a ti.
"I understand." Sherry cald down, watched as Ann Vaughn left with the officers, and imdiately pulled out her contact list.
"Contact the key numbers marked with a triangle at the front, the sooner, the better!"
"Okay, Dr. Sharp!"
As ti passed, night fell upon this bustling, never-sleeping city.
The Imperial Capital Police Departnt.
Ann Vaughn was brought to the interrogation room and was questioned and cross-examined by three different officers in succession.
"This patient’s symptoms have been intermittent dizziness for half a year. On the way to your clinic, she suddenly fell, and after recovering, felt weakness in her left side and facial asymtry... But after taking the prescription you gave, not only did she not improve, her condition worsened, and she was recently sent to the hospital’s ergency room."
"Here is the doctor’s certificate, proving your prescription was incorrect, endangering the patient who is still unconscious and in critical condition."
Hearing the officer’s words, Ann Vaughn raised her eyes, thought for a mont, and asked, "Have you checked the remaining dicinal residue and the prescription from this patient’s dication?"
"I’m the one asking the questions now!" The officer tapped the table with a pen, his face fierce, "It’s because of too many Chinese doctors like you, disregarding human life and acting recklessly, that so many people are hard!"
"Your words are biased." Ann Vaughn looked at them calmly, not the least bit flustered, "First, this patient’s last na is Lin, and her symptoms are due to insufficient Yang energy, cold obstructing the channels, and stagnant blood flow."
"Second, the prescription I gave her included Angelica, Red Peony Root, and Asarum... Third, we have records in my clinic; just compare them with the dicinal residue to see where the mistake was."
She recited the prescription flawlessly, even rembering the patient’s na and symptoms clearly, almost leaving the officer dumbfounded.
No wonder she could beco the Divine Doctor internationally at such a young age, this level of poise and ability is indeed extraordinary.
Unfortunately...
"According to you, could it be the patient hard herself?" the officer asked again.
Ann Vaughn shrugged, "It’s your job to find out the cause. I am only responsible for cooperating with your investigation."
The key is that the information about this patient is still clear in Ann Vaughn’s mind.
From acupuncture to prescribing dicine, not a single step could have gone wrong.
Unless... the patient had not followed the prescription at all.
"You woman..." The interrogating officer’s face changed, about to unleash his wrath on Ann Vaughn.
Ann Vaughn glanced at his slightly off-center leg and chuckled, "Officer, your knee pain must be acting up again, and I suspect there’s sothing wrong with your liver; it might be better to seek dical attention sooner rather than later."
"What do you an by that?!"
"No particular aning, just observing that your tongue is red, and your face shows signs of stagnation, likely caused by excess fire in the heart ridian, probably due to liver issues. Your habitual posture adjustnt indicates avoiding pressure on the legs, aning your knees are hurting, although you are enduring it."
Upon hearing the last sentence, the officer whose ailnts were laid bare slumped as his pen fell onto the table, his eyes full of shock.
The other officer standing to the side looked at Ann Vaughn with changed eyes.
Could she really perceive all of Old Yang’s physical ailnts just from these details?!
Is this woman even human?!
"Don’t try to divert my attention!" The questioning officer picked up the pen, his face alternating between green and red, "If you don’t confess, you’ll just stay here!"
"Without concrete evidence, it seems you don’t have the right to detain ." Ann Vaughn pressed her red lips together and slightly furrowed her delicate brows.
"Not now," the officer sneered, standing up. "But by tomorrow, we will have it, so take care of yourself."
After the officers left the interrogation room, only Ann Vaughn remained, with a dim light on the wall.
It looked sowhat eerie.
But, what does ’by tomorrow’ even an?
Ann Vaughn lowered her lashes, and a flash of insight struck her mind.
Perhaps, there was no patient sent to the ergency room, nor was there any incorrect prescription.
They went to such great lengths just to trap her in this place.
There were still quite a few custors in the clinic at the ti; it’s likely that by tomorrow, the news of her being "arrested" would spread.
In this way, the people behind this can use their power to keep her here; as long as she cannot go out, she cannot explain the misunderstanding to the outside world.
Then, Aquarelle Vaughn’s reputation would be utterly destroyed by rumors of reckless prescriptions causing harm, and even if she reopens Vaughn Clinic in the future, she would face countless doubts.
Thus, everything she worked so hard to build would be ruined in an instant.
