Chapter 116 The Murder Pocket Watch
The following day, in Liancheng, at Qingshan Mental Hospital.
The newly intern nurse and her mentor were complaining in the corridor.
"If it weren't for having no connections at home, who would be able to work here!"
"The idea of weekends off sounds nice, but I'm really fed up. There's practically no holiday at all!"
Qingshan Mental Hospital is closed on holidays as usual.
But no one would choose to leave on a holiday to enjoy their rest day.
Because Qingshan Mental Hospital is too far from the city center.
It's in the suburbs, just a short walk from Liancheng.
There's not a village for miles around, nor a shop for miles around.
I have money but nowhere to spend it, and when I'm hungry at night, I can't even order takeout.
The intern nurse's expression suddenly changed:
"Stop talking, the doctor is here!"
In these remote hospitals, the hierarchy is quite distinct, with nurses holding a status that is several levels lower than that of doctors.
The nurse's mentor glanced at the doctor and said disdainfully:
"He's fine. He's just a figurehead at the hospital."
The intern nurse asked in confusion:
"Just for show?"
The young nurse's mentor chuckled:
"Psychologists, the kind who have no authority in hospitals, the kind who don't even write prescriptions."
The intern nurse blinked:
"So he's Zhang Haocheng."
Zhang Haocheng felt very uncomfortable after hearing what they said.
Like other doctors, he went through undergraduate and master's degree studies, studying hard for more than ten years. Why is he considered to be of a lower caliber than other doctors?
Zhang Haocheng pretended not to hear and greeted the two nurses.
The two nurses responded with feigned enthusiasm.
Zhang Haocheng walked quickly into the office with his head down.
He sat in his office chair and touched the pocket watch in his pocket.
Let's test this thing's capabilities today.
Zhang Haocheng took out the form and glanced at it.
At nine o'clock, the patient in bed twelve will come for psychological counseling.
The patient in bed twelve suffers from delusions; she believes she is a mermaid who cannot live without water.
He initially thought about jumping into the sea, but was eventually confined to his home by his family.
This wasn't the end of it; the patient drowned in his own bathtub several times.
Her family removed the bathtub, and she almost drowned in the washbasin.
The family members collected all the larger containers.
Because there is no water, the patient will shout and scream and smash things wildly.
The family suffered greatly and sent him to Qingshan Mental Hospital.
In fact, patients who are sent to Aoyama Mental Hospital rarely return home.
They were the group of people abandoned by their families.
Some patients in the hospital have been hospitalized for ten years.
No relatives have inquired about him for the past ten years.
However, the family would send hospital fees every month.
Zhang Haocheng waited with a mixture of excitement and joy.
He wants to use this murderous pocket watch to become famous overnight!
It's a bit strange, though, why is this pocket watch called the "murder pocket watch"?
For a doctor with a compassionate heart, the word "murder" is too jarring.
Half an hour later, Zhang Haocheng glanced at the pocket watch again.
It's past the appointed time, why hasn't the patient in bed twelve arrived?
Zhang Haocheng dialed the nurses' station:
Why hasn't the patient in bed 12 come to the counseling room?
Head Nurse's Response:
"The patient in bed twelve has taken their medication and fallen asleep; they won't be going today."
Zhang Haocheng frowned:
Why?
The head nurse said indifferently:
"That's what the dean means."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Zhang Haocheng's heart sank.
He clearly heard the head nurse quietly complaining to her colleague before hanging up the phone:
"Going there won't do any good. It'll be a hassle to get you back to the ward. It's better to just give you your medicine sooner and skip the unnecessary steps."
Zhang Haocheng understood.
The dean felt that his work was completely unnecessary.
Aside from pointless tinkering, it's just a waste of time.
It seems that no one in this hospital has stopped treating him as just a pretty face.
At least a vase has some aesthetic appeal.
Zhang Haocheng decided to do something.
Otherwise, he will likely have fewer and fewer opportunities to seek medical advice in the future, and eventually be completely deprived of them, becoming a useless person who just wants to eat and wait to die.
This might be a good thing for many people, since they can get paid without doing anything.
But for Zhang Haocheng, this was a humiliation.
Because he, like other doctors, has a medical license!
Zhang Haocheng picked up his phone, hesitated for a long time, and then dialed the dean's number.
The dean was a woman with a terrible temper and character.
They speak like knives, and might make things difficult for someone if they're not careful.
The nurses and doctors were all terrified of her.
The call was connected.
Zhang Haocheng said humbly:
"Dean, the patient in bed twelve didn't come to the counseling room today, I..."
The dean's cold voice came from the other end:
"Oh, I see. From now on, you can just sign the consultation forms yourself and go through the motions; it'll be convenient for everyone."
Zhang Haocheng was stunned for a moment.
Are you not going to treat your patients anymore?
How can this be allowed?
The murderous pocket watch was something he traded his life for!
Zhang Haocheng panicked:
"No! I absolutely have to make house calls!"
The dean's tone was even worse:
"I said no, that's final. Is the hospital's decision up to you or mine?"
Zhang Haocheng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"If you don't give me patients, I will report you to higher authorities for violating the hospital's normal procedures."
The dean remained silent.
Even over the phone, Zhang Hao could picture the old A8's angry face.
After a long pause, the dean said:
"The patient in bed 12 is already asleep. Go to ward 3 and find the patient in bed 7. Wait until the patient in bed 12 wakes up before you go."
The dean hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
Zhang Haocheng looked bewildered.
Ward 3...
That was a private ward.
Most patients in private wards are high-risk patients.
The patient in bed seven has severe personality disorder and is highly aggressive.
Zhang Haocheng touched the pocket watch in his pocket, felt immense courage, and stepped out of the office.
.....
Dean's Office.
The woman sitting in the office chair had a very strong presence; she was clearly a leader.
Her figure is average, but her face still retains its charm.
The female dean picked up the phone and dialed a number:
"What is the patient in bed seven doing?"
The head nurse's voice on the other end of the phone was very respectful:
"His attacks became more frequent and his aggression became stronger."
Two caregivers were injured yesterday, and I'm preparing to put them in a restraint chair today.
A sinister smile crept across the female dean's lips:
"No need to go. Dr. Zhang Haocheng will be there for a consultation in a little while, understand?"
The head nurse said:
"Understood, I'll get on the restraint chair after... after I'm done."
The female dean's eyes were icy cold:
"Just don't cause any deaths."
In this seemingly isolated mental hospital, she is the queen.
Those who disobey her orders should be punished accordingly.
......
The second floor.
The head nurse used the key to open the door to ward number three:
"Dr. Zhang, you can go in now."
The head nurse looked at Zhang Haocheng with a hint of pity in her eyes.
Zhang Haocheng understood the meaning.
This must be the little trick the dean uses whenever he calls, right?
Zhang Haocheng put his hand in his pocket, grabbed the murder watch, and walked into the ward.
The head nurse was secretly watching from the doorway, ready to go in and save lives at any moment.
It's about saving lives, not helping others.
Wait until Zhang Haocheng is beaten black and blue before calling people in.
