"Is this white-coated man the divine doctor?"
"No way? So young? Didn't they say he was proficient in Traditional Chinese Medicine? Shouldn't he be an old man? Why is he a young lad?"
"He looks like he hasn't even grown all his body hair, how could he possibly be that divine doctor expert? I'd say he's definitely an assistant to the divine doctor expert, sent out to check the situation."
Murmurs arose from the crowd, everyone speculating on Chen Fan's identity.
The young man, kneeling on the ground, dressed in mourning clothes and wailing, stood up with a furious expression upon seeing Chen Fan.
"You quack doctor, give me back my mother's life!" the young man charged towards Chen Fan.
However, he was forcefully stopped by Da Congming and the other security guards as he passed them.
Hearing the young man's words, the scene erupted in an uproar.
"What?! That young man is Doctor Chen?"
"A doctor this young, he must have just graduated from medical school, right?"
"Is this hospital out of its mind? Making us travel over a thousand kilometers just to see a child doctor?"
"I'm now certain that the death of that middle-aged woman is definitely related to this doctor. Being an expert at such a young age is simply disregarding human life, caring nothing for the patient's life or death!"
Seeing how young Chen Fan was, almost everyone doubted him, believing that the patient's death must be connected to Chen Fan.
Chen Fan slowly walked up to the young man and looked at the memorial portrait in his arms.
He recognized this person; it was the last patient from yesterday morning, the middle-aged woman with severe lumbar disc herniation.
At that time, she had even called Chen Fan a responsible good doctor and advised him not to overwork himself.
"It's her? That auntie?!" Xia Yiting, standing nearby, also recognized the middle-aged woman in the portrait and appeared very surprised.
"You remember? My mother died after seeing a doctor here, you bunch of liars, you bunch of incompetent quacks! May you all die a terrible death!" The young man, holding the portrait, was extremely agitated.
If not for the security guards restraining him, he would have surely rushed in front of Chen Fan and fought him.
"This is impossible. Auntie just had lumbar disc herniation. Teacher only used massage and acupuncture for treatment, and she didn't even buy the medicated plaster from the hospital. How could she have died inexplicably?" Xia Yiting retorted.
"Then tell me, how did my mother die? She only came to your hospital, she only had contact with you. If not for you harming her, who else could it be!" the young man questioned angrily.
Xia Yiting's brows furrowed, but she was certain that the woman's death had nothing to do with her teacher.
However, she knew that no matter what she said now, the young man wouldn't listen.
Chen Fan, who had been silent all along, finally spoke, "Your mother's death has nothing to do with me."
"Heh heh, nothing to do with you? Doctor Chen, Expert Chen, you're quite good at shirking responsibility. Everyone listen, listen! This is a divine doctor, an expert's answer. With a single 'nothing to do with me,' you don't have to take responsibility for my mother's death? I'm telling you, I will definitely seek justice for my mother!" The young man looked at the surrounding crowd, his words full of sarcasm.
"Doctors nowadays are truly shameless, quick to distance themselves at the slightest trouble, afraid of getting involved."
"I suspect that patient might have been treated to death by her. Such a young doctor, in our hometown, at his age, he'd be at most an intern."
"I really don't know what this hospital was thinking, hiring such a young doctor as an external expert."
"It's a good thing they arrived in time. If I had brought my father to see this kid, I would regret it for the rest of my life!"
Hearing the surrounding discussions, Xia Yiting was filled with anger and wanted to retort on Chen Fan's behalf.
But just then, a group of figures descended from the second floor of the hospital.
The middle-aged man at the front was Zhang Chongshan, the director of Longgang Hospital.
Having heard that someone was causing trouble at the hospital and falsely accusing Chen Fan of causing a patient's death, Zhang Chongshan, along with other hospital leaders, came to the lobby.
Seeing the hospital leaders arrive, the young man began wailing again, "Mom, my dear mother! You died so tragically, how could you have encountered such a black-hearted doctor!"
Zhang Chongshan frowned and asked Chen Fan, "Doctor Chen, did this patient receive treatment at our hospital?"
Chen Fan did not conceal anything and nodded, "Yesterday morning, she was the last patient."
"What was her illness?"
"Lumbar disc herniation."
"Lumbar disc herniation?" Zhang Chongshan and the others were stunned. How could such an illness cause a patient's death?
"Moreover, her body was quite healthy, with no other underlying diseases. She shouldn't have died," Chen Fan replied with certainty.
Chen Fan conducted very detailed examinations for every patient. His eyes were even more effective than X-rays, and he had not misdiagnosed a single case so far.
"You black-hearted doctor, do you think I'm lying about my mother's life to you?!"
"You doubt my mother was fine? Fine, I'll show you her death certificate!" With that, the young man took out an A4 paper from his pocket and threw it directly at Zhang Chongshan.
Zhang Chongshan caught the A4 paper thrown by the young man and his expression turned grave as he read it.
Because this A4 paper was the death certificate issued by the First Hospital for that middle-aged woman, with the time of death being 4 PM yesterday.
The hospital leaders standing beside Zhang Chongshan also had solemn expressions. After all, from any perspective, this matter was connected to Chen Fan.
"Director Zhang, perhaps we should temporarily suspend Doctor Chen's work until this matter is clarified, and then we..." one of the hospital leaders suggested. This was the most prudent approach, as Longgang Hospital was still developing, and such an incident spreading would undoubtedly cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
"Why suspend his work? I believe Doctor Chen. He won't have any problems." Before the hospital leader could finish speaking, Zhang Chongshan stated his position.
"Did you hear that? Did you hear that! This black-hearted hospital is covering up for this black-hearted doctor! A hospital like this, would you dare to come here for treatment in the future?!" The young man angrily pointed at Zhang Chongshan and the others, shouting.
Zhang Chongshan's defense of Chen Fan also drew dissatisfaction from the surrounding crowd, who all declared they would never come to such a trash hospital again.
Just then, security guards from outside rushed in in a panic.
"Director, dozens of reporters have suddenly arrived outside, saying they want to interview our hospital's Doctor Chen."
Zhang Chongshan's brow immediately furrowed. He hadn't expected the reporters to arrive so quickly, as if someone had planned it in advance.
