Tianhe Hospital is the finest hospital in Lecheng. Compared to other hospitals in Lecheng, Tianhe Hospital surpasses them in facilities, environnt, and the abilities of its doctors.
Guo Yu is a nurse at Tianhe Hospital. She recently graduated and was quite satisfied to be able to join Tianhe Hospital, mainly because of the excellent benefits it offers. At least in Lecheng, Tianhe Hospital provides the best treatnt for its staff compared to other hospitals.
Today marks her first night shift since joining Tianhe Hospital, which fills her with so anticipation.
Most people inevitably feel a sense of novelty towards new experiences, especially the first ti, when excitent and freshness are at their peak.
During her ti at Tianhe Hospital, the "old-tirs" there occasionally shared ghost stories with her, stories that supposedly happened within their hospital, narrated with details of ti, place, and characters.
Strange phenona were not uncommon in the hospital, and Guo Yu was aware of this. Many movies or novels use hospitals as settings for horror stories. So, when her colleagues shared these spooky tales, Guo Yu rely listened or read, never believing them.
If she did believe in such things, she wouldn't have pursued this profession or chosen to work in a hospital after graduation. Otherwise, she would soon develop so sort of problem, whether from genuine fear of ghosts or from being spooked by her colleagues' stories.
In her view, her colleagues telling her these tales were just a pasti during dull monts, attempting to scare her for their own amusent.
With this in mind, a cold smile appeared on Guo Yu's face. She felt her colleagues were underestimating her. Regardless of whether ghosts existed in this world, even if they did, she didn't think she would be afraid.
After getting off the bus, Guo Yu headed towards Tianhe Hospital. As she arrived at the gate, her brow furrowed involuntarily.
A funeral wreath adorned the entrance of the hospital, beneath which was a photo of the deceased. Several people were lighting incense sticks and burning joss paper while wailing could be heard.
One elderly woman seed particularly distressed, her tear-streaked face expressing profound sorrow. Her aged countenance and disheveled hair made her appear both haggard and pitiable.
"Soone's causing a commotion at the hospital gate again. These relatives are truly sothing. They only consider their own standpoint, never willing to think about us dical staff. Nothing happens, it's fine, but once sothing does, they cling to the hospital like leeches."
Growing increasingly infuriated, Guo Yu marched towards the location of the funeral wreath with a stern expression.
"Hey! Aren't you all being too much? Making a scene at our hospital gate like this, others might misunderstand!"
Guo Yu had just graduated from school and lacked social experience. She acted based solely on her character. If she believed sothing was right, she would persist in it. If she believed it was wrong, she would try to change it.
So, at this mont, standing from her standpoint, she deed the actions of these people wrong. Thus, she wanted to drive them away, as their behavior could negatively impact the hospital.
Of course, Guo Yu also had her own ulterior motives. If she could drive these people away, would she earn so rit? Would she receive any rewards for it? Would it push her career forward at Tianhe Hospital in the future?
Hearing Guo Yu's words, the emotions of the deceased's family mbers surged. They yelled and cursed at her. Although she was dressed casually, her words revealed her identity — she was affiliated with the hospital.
Already overwheld by excessive grief, the arrival of soone from the hospital further agitated them. Their attitudes turned even more hostile.
Guo Yu wasn't one to be trifled with. With a rather bad temper, she couldn't tolerate such irrational behavior. Disregarding the consequences, she engaged in a heated argunt with them.
Within monts, both sides were heatedly arguing, their faces flushed with anger, displaying a desire for confrontation.
The security guard at the gate seed to know Guo Yu. Seeing the escalating argunt, he hurried over to intervene, attempting to restrain the emotionally charged relatives while also trying to escort Guo Yu away.
"Don't stop ! They're really out of line! Utterly unreasonable! How can there be people like this!"
Guo Yu struggled against the security guard's hold, continuing to shout at the relatives.
"Who's out of line! Who's out of line! It's your hospital that's out of line! Your hospital stands by and watches people die and then accuses us of being out of line! Do you have any conscience left at all!"
One of the relatives, in a fit of rage, yelled at Guo Yu while clutching the deceased's portrait to his chest, continuing to berate her loudly.
"Look! Look at him! He didn't have to die! If your hospital had intervened in ti, could he have died here!"
At this point, consud by rage, Guo Yu completely lost control of her emotions. Although she didn't understand the whole situation, she couldn't tolerate the deceased's family causing a scene at the hospital gate. Anger overwheld her reason, and she spat on the portrait.
"Disgusting! You have no sha!"
Her actions thoroughly enraged the deceased's family. Several of them rushed forward, intent on teaching Guo Yu a lesson. Even the elderly woman picked up a stone from the ground and hurled it towards Guo Yu with force.
The security guard's expression changed drastically. He knew if he didn't remove Guo Yu soon, things might escalate. Ignoring Guo Yu's struggles, he forcefully carried her inside the hospital gate and promptly locked the door.
Outside, the deceased's relatives continued to curse angrily while the security guard pulled Guo Yu aside.
"You better leave quickly. Don't escalate the situation further. It won't end well," the security guard cautioned.
Brimming with anger, Guo Yu hurled a few more insults at the relatives before finally leaving, her face still flushed with rage.
The excitent and novelty of her first night shift had disappeared, replaced only by anger. With a furious expression, she made her way to her work station, attracting puzzled looks from her colleagues.
"Guo Yu, what's wrong? Who upset you? You seem really fired up," a young nurse approached Guo Yu, curious and concerned.
"Forget it. Just my luck. There was a funeral wreath at the hospital gate, and when I asked the relatives to leave, they were all rude and unreasonable. I almost got into a fight with them," Guo Yu said, still seething, as she took deep breaths.
The nurse beside her showed a knowing expression. She sighed and said, "Ah, this isn't the first ti sothing like this has happened. I understand the emotions of the deceased's family, but blaming everything on our hospital isn't fair, is it?"
"Yeah! I was just so angry, so I got into it with them!" Guo Yu responded eagerly, feeling understood.
At that mont, another senior nurse chid in, "Perhaps you two don't fully understand the situation. Do you know why the patient's family was causing a scene?"
This remark caught Guo Yu's attention. She looked at the nurse and asked, "What do you an? Did our hospital cause the patient's death?"
Guo Yu's anger still burned, and her words carried a sharp edge that anyone could detect.
The nurse paused, surprised by the newcor's volatile temper, sothing she hadn't noticed before. However, she didn't dwell on Guo Yu's attitude and instead, glanced around, lowering her voice before continuing, "The death of the patient actually had little to do with our hospital. When the patient was brought in, they were already on their last breath. In that situation, even if they were treated by the best doctor, it would have been impossible to save them. So the hospital refused treatnt, and as a result, the patient died here."
Hearing her colleague's explanation, Guo Yu's anger not only didn't diminish but grew even stronger. She exclaid angrily, "What does that have to do with our hospital? Just because of this, they placed a funeral wreath at our hospital gate and caused a scene? Isn't that going too far?"
Guo Yu's voice was loud, as if only by venting her inner anger could she find relief.
"Keep your voice down!" the nurse beside her quickly reminded her.
Guo Yu gave a cold snort but didn't respond further. Instead, the senior nurse continued, "From our perspective, we didn't do anything wrong. But have you ever thought about one thing? If you were the patient's family, how would you feel?"
Guo Yu was taken aback, then furrowed her brow, remaining silent.
"At the ti, the patient's family wasn't willing to give up. Even though the patient was on their last breath, they still wanted to try, hoping for a miracle."
"But we knew such a miracle was impossible. Shortly afterward, the patient passed away."
With a sigh, the senior nurse continued, "The reason the patient's family caused a scene is that in their eyes, the hospital didn't even give them a chance. They don't understand dical knowledge. In their eyes, as long as a person is brought to the hospital alive, they should be treated, not refused. If the hospital doesn't treat them, then it's the hospital's fault."
"Do you think we should have treated the patient in that situation?" Guo Yu asked the senior nurse, her expression troubled.
The senior nurse hesitated for a mont before nodding, saying, "In that situation, I think we should have given them a chance. The hospital refused treatnt because they were afraid the patient would die here. If we don't treat them, the patient's family will cause even more trouble, just like this ti."
Guo Yu shook her head, disagreeing with the senior nurse's opinion. She spoke up, "If we had treated the patient in that situation and they died in the hospital bed, the patient's family would irrationally bla the hospital for everything. What then? It wouldn't be as simple as just causing a scene. We might even end up in a lawsuit!"
This ti, the senior nurse fell silent.
"I just checked the ti. It seems today is the seventh day since the deceased's passing. Do you think... the family will co to the hospital to cause trouble as well?" The young nurse's words made both Guo Yu and the senior nurse furrow their brows simultaneously.
