Chapter 1407 A Quack Doctor
When she arrived outside the ward, the patient’s husband started roaring at her.
“It’s your fault! You have caused the death of my wife! Your medical skills are nothing to brag about! In fact, I think you are a quack doctor! Because of you, my wife has lost her life! Give me back my wife! You quack doctor!”
The ruckus had attracted the attention of other patients, and they started to crowd around.
“What’s going on?”
“I’m not sure. He said Ms. Lane is a quack doctor and caused his wife’s death.”
“How can Ms. Lane be a quack? She is obviously a miracle doctor.”
“No matter how good she is, there will be times when she makes mistakes, too. Perhaps…”
“What are you gibbering about? How can you not have trust in Ms. Lane’s skills? If you don’t, then what are you doing in Bernian Hospital?”
“There’s no need to attack me so soon. I did not say I don’t trust her. I believe in her, just like you do. But it doesn’t mean she will not make any mistakes. It’s an entirely different matter! In fact, it’s normal to make mistakes, and it’s completely understandable.”
His pertinent speech caused everyone around to waver. There was no way they would believe that Nicole would harm someone on purpose. However, making an error in her judgment was quite plausible.
“What kind of person are you? I’m sure Ms. Lane really wanted to save your wife. Even if she has made a mistake, it wouldn’t be intentional. You can’t—”
“Her mistake wasn’t on purpose? But it cost my wife her life! It’s a life we are talking about. I want justice for my wife!” The man was getting very agitated and upset.
Sensing that she was about to be blamed, Nicole quickly explained herself, “I did not misdiagnose. Your wife was indeed being poisoned. After I performed acupuncture on her, her symptoms were alleviated. As for why she stopped breathing, we will have to perform a thorough check to find out the reason.”
“A check? What for? The only reason why you want to perform a check is to exonerate yourself of any responsibilities. You will surely claim that my wife has contracted some sudden illness and passed away as a result of it.”
“I won’t do that! I will reveal the facts!” said Nicole in a serious manner.
“Of course you will say that! My wife’s death is on your hands. I won’t believe you!”
“So, what do you want?”
“I want to lodge a police report! I want an autopsy done!”
Everyone was speechless.
All the other patients started speculating and gossiping when they heard the man’s demands.
“Ms. Lane, since he is so adamant, go ahead with the autopsy. We have faith in you!”
“That’s right. There’s nothing to worry about if your conscience is clear. Justice will prevail!”
“Yes, Ms. Lane. Let the coroner perform the autopsy. We believe you!”
When the other patients proclaimed their trust in her, Nicole was very touched. At that moment, she believed that she had nothing to worry about as well.
“Fine. Make a report and get an autopsy done.”
When Nicole agreed to his conditions, a smug smile flashed across the man’s face. Once the report is out and with the help of the public opinion, there will be no way for Nicole and Bernian Hospital to get out of this mess!
The coroner arrived in no time and began to perform an autopsy to find out the cause of death of the woman.
As he was doing his check, he asked Nicole questions along the way. It turned out that there was nothing wrong with Nicole’s treatment methods at all.
“Then what’s going on? What happened to her?”
“Not to worry. There are still a few more tests to be done. The result will be out very soon.”
After a lengthy wait of two hours, they had finally reached a conclusion.
It turned out that there were issues with the medication used in Bernian Hospital. All the medications that had been used turned out to be fake.
The outcome of the autopsy shocked all the patients to the core. Even Nicole was stunned and found it hard to believe. Her expression darkened.
“How is that possible? The medications have been acquired through strict means. How could they be fake?”
