Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s-Chapter 1882: The One Who Tied the Bell Must Untie It
Ren Chongda had never heard students talk about the complex web of family relations before. Listening to Father Geng’s complaints made him feel a bit dizzy, so he turned to the student and asked, "Is your mom sick? What’s wrong with her? How come I’ve never heard you mention it?"
"She’s not my mom," Geng Yongzhe said through gritted teeth.
Not your mom, but living with your dad, and your dad called her your mom. This young man is really strange, did he cut off ties with both parents? Ren Chongda’s furrowed brows formed a series of question marks.
Student Geng was reluctant to speak of his family’s ugly affairs, so Xie Wanying, in front of the counselor, used her finger to write in her palm: "Mom isn’t that mom."
What does it mean that "mom isn’t that mom"? Ren Chongda nearly rolled his eyes at her: What kind of riddle are you playing?
"Are you too stupid to figure it out? Why are you giving her a hard time? It’s obvious just from hearing it—she’s the stepmom," Chang Jiawei said, displeased at him glaring at Student Xie.
Why was this playboy getting emotional? When would he ever be mean to his own students? He’s the best counselor in the world. Ren Chongda’s face was full of discontent.
Others seemed deep in thought: So that’s it, the stepmom is sick. It seems this stepmom wasn’t good to the two kids; they don’t acknowledge her.
Understanding the situation, Ren Chongda replied to Father Geng, "Xiao Zhe is a bit busy right now. I’ll have him call you again once he’s free."
"You’re his college teacher, you should educate him about virtue, teach him to be filial to his parents." Father Geng criticized him across the line for not helping educate his son.
Heh—Ren Chongda chuckled coldly in his heart, seeing that being a teacher is as difficult as being a doctor.
This student’s father, lacking virtue himself, wanted to educate his son to have good morals, leaving the teacher speechless.
"His mom is sick, he’s a doctor, he should find ways to help treat his mom’s illness." Father Geng continued his monologue, "His mom and I have come to the Capital now. I know which school he’s attending, and we’ll go find him in the next couple of days."
Hearing that someone was coming to cause trouble, Doctor Guo went out to tell the nurse, to protect the patient as a priority.
These small measures couldn’t stop people from coming. To untie the knot, you need the person who tied it. This issue could only be resolved by Student Geng.
"Xiao Zhe," after finishing the call with Father Geng, Ren Chongda patted the student’s shoulder, carefully maintaining his tone, "A patient is ultimately a patient."
As a doctor, one must take the doctor’s vow. In this world, no matter which version of the medical student’s oath, they all fundamentally emphasize that a doctor cannot discriminate against any life. Sick people need to be saved. As for what crimes or mistakes this patient has committed, the law will punish him/her, not for you as a doctor to punish by leaving them to die.
Doctors have the skill to save people, others don’t; if one doesn’t save a person, it’s indirectly a punishment. For example, if a firefighter sees someone they hate trapped in a fire, can he not save them? Similarly not. Or a police officer, facing a criminal who harmed his own family, must still pull them back from jumping off a building. Only the law can judge a criminal’s guilt.
Determination to work in these holy professions inevitably requires the enlightenment of pursuing such a career; otherwise, you can seek another profession, and no one will blame you. If a doctor saves someone with benevolence and righteousness, and that person ultimately bites back, seeking to harm the doctor, what happens then? The law will make a fair judgment; if one only believes in vigilante justice, this society would descend into chaos.
That said, doctors are ultimately people with their own emotions, personal vendettas and emotions should be respected and cannot be ignored. How to handle these requires wisdom; don’t act out of emotion, or you’ll just be called a fool only driven by reckless feelings.
