After an uneventful night, Lu Cheng returned home and slept soundly.

September 4th, Friday.

At 8:10 in the morning, Lin Qianlong walked out of the restroom on the administrative floor of Long County People's Hospital and then forcefully kicked open the office door of the Medical Affairs Department Director.

Director Bao Liming of the Medical Affairs Department was making tea, preparing for a pleasant day. Fortunately, he was grinding tea leaves, which were scattered across the table due to the door being kicked.

Lin Qianlong's hair was a mess, seemingly still damp with sweat, his small eyes stood out, and his eyebrows were raised high.

With a pockmarked face as cold as ice, his short chin tilted, he took the initiative: "Bao Liming, I'm giving you face, aren't I? Why are you messing with me like this?"

Bao Liming's mouth was slightly agape, blinking his eyes, he finally came to his senses: "Lin Qianlong, what's gotten into you all of a sudden?"

Lin Qianlong had been Bao Liming's high school classmate; after graduating from college, both returned to work at the County Hospital. The difference was that Lin Qianlong took the clinical route, while he switched to administration and climbed to the position of Director of the Medical Affairs Department as Lin Qianlong's superior.

"You've been messing with me behind my back!!!" Lin Qianlong entered the room, pounding Bao Liming's desk with his thick fingers. The tea leaves on the desk bounced and hovered in mid-air before scattering again.

"When did I ever mess with you behind your back?" Bao Liming spat, feeling extremely wronged.

"In our emergency department, we performed two manual reductions, and you suspended the surgeon's manual reduction authorization, what's the deal?"

"It's the twenty-first century, in the age of information, you still want to frame me?"

"Is Renmin Hospital liberated or not?" Lin Qianlong grabbed Bao Liming's hand and then poked at his own chest.

"Why don't you just take a knife and stab me to death right away? Why all this behind-the-back scheming?"

"Get to the point!~"

"Here, take the knife." Lin Qianlong took out an old-fashioned pencil sharpener he'd just bought with his left hand, slapped it into Bao Liming's hand, and tried to pull Bao Liming's hand toward his own body...

Bao Liming quickly struggled to fling the knife away and stepped back two steps: "Lin Qianlong, if you have something to say, just say it, stop with the crooked tactics."

"Specifically, what happened? When did I suspend your surgical authorization? How do I not know about it?"

Bao Liming thought Lin Qianlong must have gone mad, coming in trying to implicate himself. If that knife went in, who would believe he was innocent?

"The chief on duty stopped the surgical authorization matter, who else but you could have done it?"

"Look for yourself..." Lin Qianlong directly smashed a newly-bought second-hand phone onto Bao Liming's desk.

Due to the excessive force, the phone bounced off and hit the wall, becoming a dead body. It was already old, and now it could finally retire with honor.

Bao Liming's expression stiffened: "What the hell, what the hell is there to look at?"

Ready to walk over and try to salvage it.

Lin Qianlong was prepared: "That's my backup phone, broken or not, check for yourself."

"2023/09/03 22:14:14, Lu Cheng, attending physician, manual reduction surgical authorization, suspended operation authorization."

"2023/09/03 22:35:49, Lu Cheng, attending physician, manual reduction surgical authorization, granted operation authorization."

"Operator, Bao Liming."

Lin Qianlong aggressively asked: "Are you blind? Isn't that your employee number? I just want to know?"

"What's wrong with our emergency department doctors? Why suspend the surgical authorization, are you trying to harm people?"

"Has the public service system in Long County not yet been liberated? What mistake did Lu Cheng make? Medical malpractice? Medical dispute?"

"If someone is to die, shouldn't they know why?"

Of course, Bao Liming saw his own name: "What the hell would I be doing at ten-something, canceling Lu Cheng's surgical authorization? My employee number and password, the chief on duty knows..."

Lin Qianlong continued pounding the table: "Then call the people here, do what needs to be done, work with the people who need working with..."

"I want to tear down your Medical Affairs Department, stabbing us in the back, not doing your job all day long, while we are here doing our best to treat patients, and you stab us in the back."

"To suspend surgical authorization, you must notify in advance, make an announcement, make a proclamation, temporarily cancel the surgical authorization in the middle of the night, are you letting us live? Ah..." Lin Qianlong spit flew, anger and grievance weighed equally.

Only then did Bao Liming understand why Lin Qianlong was so furious.

The fact that Lu Cheng performed the manual reduction, and the Medical Affairs Department suspended his manual reduction, means that Lin Qianlong sent someone without surgical authorization to perform the surgery!

If the patient discovered this and reported it, the main responsibility would be Lu Cheng's, but could the leaders escape responsibility?

In fact, just this record could get Lu Cheng into trouble.

"Could it be an operational mistake?" Bao Liming asked while looking for a phone.

Lin Qianlong was no fool: "An operational mistake, my ass, Lu Cheng is an attending physician, which of his name, ID, or title could you drag to the front?"

Ten minutes later, the chief on duty from last night hurried back to the Medical Affairs Department from the hospital gate.

Upon entering and seeing Lin Qianlong's demeanor, he paused for a moment, and then explained: "Director Bao, it was Director Tang who called me to stop the surgical authorization yesterday."

"I was just doing my job, I thought you also knew."

Lin Qianlong looked at the newcomer and said: "Du Gaofeng, you're the one in charge?"

"Immediately issue an announcement, listing the reasons for suspending the surgical authorization, go to the County Health Bureau for signatures and stamps!~

"Get the duplicate copy of the report you submitted!~"

Du Gaofeng, a thirty-two-year-old young man, froze his eyes: "Director Lin, this is a misunderstanding!~"

"Yesterday, after Dr. Lu came to the Medical Affairs Department, I immediately then."

"Misunderstanding, my ass!~"

Lin Qianlong directly shot back: "Bao Liming, the matter is clear now, find the document for me!~"

"I want to see the County Health Bureau's document, the signature, and the stamp, and see the submission form!~"

Lin Qianlong was very certain that Bao Liming couldn't find Lu Cheng's medical dispute, but the Medical Affairs Department had the authority to suspend Lu Cheng's surgical authorization, as long as they submitted it for approval to the County Health Bureau.

This is the supervisory responsibility of the Medical Affairs Department. If it is confirmed that a doctor in the hospital is incompetent and cannot perform a surgical technique, after ineffective discussion, they can directly have the authorization suspended to prevent "excessive treatment"!

"Director Lin, this is really a misunderstanding, after Dr. Lu came over, I immediately canceled it."

Du Gaofeng's face twisted: "Besides, it was Director Tang's order, I was just an executor."

Where would he have submitted it for approval? He only later learned that it was Tang Zhongqi's spur of the moment.

Bao Liming made a call: "Tang Zhongqi, come to my office..."

A few minutes later, Tang Zhongqi cheerfully walked in, being polite: "Director Lin, you're here, Director Bao..."

But Lin Qianlong didn't shake hands with Tang Zhongqi.

"Either he leaves, or Bao Liming, you report the entirety of this matter to the hospital director, explaining the reasons. Or, obtain the report submitted to the Health Bureau, obtain the signatures and stamps!"

"Otherwise, do not blame me for cursing in the hospital's main group, who gave you the guts to suddenly backstab our front-line clinical doctors?" Lin Qianlong's tone was very formal.

"Director Lin, mis...misunderstanding... let's talk it out." Tang Zhongqi knew he was in the wrong.

"Once this incident occurs, there's no room for misunderstanding!!!"

…

Two hours later, Du Gaofeng was proposed for transfer to the Archives, and Tang Zhongqi received a verbal warning…
