Practicing Medical Skills in a Small Clinic novel Chapter 662

Chapter 662: Chapter 304: Making a Fuss Is Useless, Officially Becoming a Teacher (Part 2)

Perhaps, it is only after losing something that one learns to cherish it.

"Hello, Dr. Li, these two are leaders from the health administrative department, and this is Xia Yanbing, the expert invited by the family for the medical malpractice appraisal."

Deputy Director Shang was very courteous to Li Jingsheng.

He was well aware of how popular this young doctor was now.

From hospital-level leaders down to department directors, all held him in high esteem.

The expert in charge of technical appraisal sat on the patient’s side, right in the first position.

This subtly indicated an attitude; the expert was recognized by the family and sympathized with the deceased’s plight, and would assist the family in uncovering any oversights made by the hospital during the patient’s treatment.

"Hello leaders! Hello, Teacher Xia!"

Li Jingsheng used the term ’Teacher’ to address the expert, a form of respectful acknowledgment.

To become an expert in technical appraisal, even if privately hired by the family, undoubtedly requires strong professional competence.

Unless one is a fake expert, that would be a different story.

"You don’t need to be nervous; this matter is not directly related to you. We invited you here just to have you stand on a fair perspective and describe the events of that day accurately and truthfully."

The leader from the health administrative department directly told him.

"Dr. Li can sit down to give your account!"

The young female leader kindly nodded to him, signaling assent.

The official background of the Second Hospital is quite strong. The supervising entity might not say they’re biased toward the hospital, yet their subjective position will lean toward it.

Unless there really is an issue with the hospital, they would not help the family with the claim or punishment.

Furthermore, the technical appraisal expert hired by the family has certain authority but is not particularly high.

Medical malpractice appraisals follow the principle of impartiality, and stakeholders should all avoid involvement.

However, if the matter goes to court, the evidence provided by this technical appraisal expert may be adopted or trusted by the judge.

In short, there are many hidden rules within, and all parties will strive to protect their interests.

"At the time, I was in the outpatient clinic when I received a call from Director Kuo of the Endocrinology Department, asking me to come over and take a look, explaining that a patient scheduled for the next day was in serious condition. When I went over, I found the patient had hypokalemia. The Endocrinology Department had already administered potassium supplementation therapy to the patient, but the effects were not significant. I then suggested to Director Kuo to add two more channels and try increasing the potassium supplement dosage.

In the afternoon, I received another call from Director Kuo, stating that the increased potassium dosage still had no significant effect.

He suggested that the family immediately transfer the patient to a larger hospital for treatment, but the family refused.

When I went for consultation, I also suggested to the family that they consider a hospital transfer for treatment, which was likewise rejected.
