Too Bad I Take Things Seriously-Chapter 503 - 208: Calculating the Sentence on the Scene, 15 Years’ Imprisonment_4

"With the prescription from Han Dongting, is there still no way to report it to the police?"

"They’re too despicable..."

"..."

Zhang Qingyuan and the others were full of outrage, cursing aloud.

This latest incident, the man wielding a knife to defend his rights... it also brought another issue to light. There was something wrong with the hospital, or perhaps with its doctors. And from what could be seen at present, it seemed that legally, the hospital couldn’t be sufficiently sanctioned. Having seen so many criminal cases, they, who deeply despised evil, only felt a knot of discomfort in their hearts, unable to find relief.

"Don’t worry yet. I’ll go find Wang Dachui," Qin Mu consoled everyone briefly, then headed to the legal advisor’s office. He found Wang Dachui sitting in front of his computer.

Wang Dachui briefly recounted what happened after he left the hospital. It turned out that after giving his statement, he had gone alone to the pharmacy called Wanantang to buy medicine from the owner. He found out the price of this particular medication; it was the same type Su Yongnian had bought, costing 288 yuan per box. Purchasing four boxes would total over a thousand yuan. He was about to grit his teeth and pay to preserve the evidence when the owner demanded he leave the prescription behind. The owner also stated that if he didn’t leave the prescription, he wouldn’t sell the medicine. Eventually, he just took the prescription and left, without buying any medicine from that pharmacy.

"They... are even more cautious than I imagined," Qin Mu frowned, remarking thoughtfully.

In fact, there was a complementary relationship between the prescription and the purchase of medicine. If he wanted to report to the Health and Health Commission, he would need solid evidence to prove Han Dongting prescribed medications recklessly. But with only the prescription, and no record of purchasing the medication, one couldn’t prove any malpractice existed, as no actual harm had occurred. Conversely, if there were only the medication but no prescription, it would also be impossible to prove Han Dongting prescribed it. Even if one managed to photograph the prescription, photographic evidence would be considerably weaker. It could be forged and wouldn’t be sufficient to prove Han Dongting had prescribed what was shown in the photos. This was the paradox of gathering evidence.

"Furthermore, when I returned, I did some research and uncovered many scandals regarding Sanhe Hospital," Wang Dachui opened a webpage and continued, "Look, two years ago, a doctor with the surname Lin left gauze in a patient’s body during an appendectomy. A year and a half ago, an elderly man had too many CT scans, leading to organ failure. Seven months ago..."

He pulled up one local news story after another. The findings were appalling. Moreover, these articles had very low circulation; Wang Dachui had to search for a long time to find them. It was clear someone had controlled and suppressed these local news stories. These incidents had initially caused a big stir but eventually faded away, likely because the hospital and the families reached settlements. While these reports might not all be true, so much negative press was enough to indicate significant underlying problems.

Looking at the lists of negative news, Wang Dachui sighed, his expression somewhat despondent. "If only... we had some evidence," he lamented.

He pursued his law practice with a deep-seated sense of justice. But... many things in the world weren’t as simple as right versus wrong. Many situations didn’t result in a just outcome.

"Seeing the hospital disturbance today, I actually have a new idea," Qin Mu said, a mysterious smile appearing on his face.

"Really?" Wang Dachui’s expression brightened with excitement. This incident truly highlighted how difficult it was to defend one’s rights. If it were easy, perhaps fewer people would resort to such extreme measures. That young man with the knife... he must have felt that all other avenues for seeking justice were useless, which led him to take such drastic action, ultimately resulting in his arrest.

"From an evidentiary standpoint, we indeed have little evidence to prove their illegal actions, let alone criminal ones, but..." Qin Mu paused for a moment. Then he continued, "the other party has committed a criminal act that can be reported without needing any evidence!"
