“Cure yourself, but leave others stranded? Isn’t that a modern-day version of the farmer and the viper?” someone commented.
“Exactly why 1 refused to study medicine,” another chimed in. “I’m too afraid of encountering ungrateful patients.”
“My dad embodies that stereotype. He’s super suspicious of doctors and doesn’t trust them a bit. Sadly, there are patients who bite the hand that feeds them.”
Discouraging messages filled the chat. “Becoming a doctor is a gamble with lightning! Unless you have a passion for it and financial security, stay away!”
“Not just doctors,” another added. “Teachers face similar risks.”
The chat felt a cold dread as the potential life-or-death situation Dr. Fan faced became clear.
“The human heart,” Chen Yu continued, “is the most puzzling thing in the world. A single major event, a brush with mortality, can completely reshape someone’s personality and outlook.”
“The terminally ill exemplify this dramatic shift. Before their diagnosis, most wouldn’t consider ending their own lives. But faced with a terminal illness threatening their entire family, suicidal thoughts often emerge.”
“This patient initially cooperated fully. His health was his top priority. Money could be earned again, and houses could be rebuilt. But as treatment progressed, with no improvement, his condition worsened.”
Chen Yu painted a bleak picture.
“This illness devoured everything. His home, his savings, his wife, and his children—all gone. Even close friends and relatives stopped visiting him in the hospital.”
“If you take this medicine from me and tell the patient he’ll recover after taking it, only costing him 100,000 yuan, I can’t predict his reaction, but everyone can understand the situation.”
“When someone’s pushed to the edge, anger consumes them, and logic fades.”
Fear crept into [You can’t blame society when you’re tired]’s voice. “What if I don’t tell him?”
“Can you keep him in the dark forever?” Chen Yu countered, glancing at the livestream teeming with over nine million viewers. “Even if you don’t tell him now, the truth will come out once he’s discharged.”
“Remember, someone at the extreme won’t consider reason. He won’t consider that you paid for his treatment or that you gave him a miracle cure. He’ll only focus on one thing.”
“What’s that?” [You can’t blame society when you’re tired] asked.
“You and the entire hospital staff are nothing but incompetent quacks.”
The viewers were pissed after hearing that.
The outrage was palpable. Everyone knew the low survival rate of cancerous tumors.
“King of all cancers” wasn’t a baseless nickname.
No doctor, anywhere in the world, could guarantee a cure.
The hospital fees weren’t lining [You can’t blame society when you’re tired]’s pockets. In fact, she’d repeatedly dipped into her wallet to cover this patient’s treatment—a shining example of an angelic heart.
The injustice ignited a fury in the chat.
“No wonder they say encouraging people to become doctors is like asking for lightning to strike!” someone typed, their anger reflecting a broader truth.
Low pay wasn’t the only challenge doctors and nurses faced. There was also the harsh reality that some patients, despite the best efforts of medical professionals, would not only fail to appreciate the help but might even turn hostile.
“See the situation now?” Chen Yu asked. “This is why the old man urged you to leave the hospital, to leave the area entirely.”
[You can’t blame society when you’re tired] was overwhelmed by a complex mix of emotions—sadness, pain, shock—and slumped back in her chair.
“Dr. Chen,” she pleaded weakly, “is there a way out of this impossible situation?”
“I don’t want to die, but I can’t bear to see the patient give up either. Treating and saving people is my duty and my reason for becoming a doctor.”
“I can’t just stand by and watch a patient with a chance of recovery walk towards death…”
[You can’t blame society when you’re tired]’s face mirrored the nurse’s words.
Expensive medicine and advanced equipment wouldn’t change the patient’s outcome.
At best, they could manage his pain. The difference between aggressive and conservative treatment was negligible.
Torn by her conscience, she couldn’t simply abandon him.
What if a miracle happened?
Medical professionals knew about the “Lazarus phenomenon,” which documented cases of patients declared dead who inexplicably revived.
Just last year, an old man in Shanghai was pronounced dead and sent to a funeral home, only to wake up hours later.
The medical community continues to debate the Lazarus phenomenon, but dozens of such cases have been confirmed.
Doctors shouldn’t rely on miracles, but sometimes hope is all they have.
The medical world was filled with unexplainable occurrences.
Even “king of all cancers” wasn’t always a death sentence.
As long as treatment continued, hope remained.
“Maybe a miracle can happen for this patient too,” [You can’t blame society when you’re tired] whispered, her voice heavy with emotion. “Through Dr.
Chen, I believe miracles exist. I can’t harden my heart. Knowing there’s a chance for his recovery, I can’t stand by and watch him die.”
“Perhaps my privileged upbringing shielded me from harsh realities.”
“I’ve been fortunate to experience a beautiful world,” she shared. “Many colleagues see the world as a broken system and doctors as just a job, not saints.”
“They say focus on doing your job well; don’t use your own money on patients.”
“They’re right, but for me, treating the sick and helping those in need has always been my core belief.”
“This is a clash between reality and ideals,” she concluded. “I choose to follow my heart.”
A profound silence enveloped the chat.
Comments were scarce, and Chen Yu offered a cryptic smile.
The old man, too, understood her choice, sacrificing his own well-being to help her.
Fate, it seemed, was intertwined.
[You can’t blame society when you’re tired], determined to help the patient, persisted despite the seemingly hopeless situation.
Sometimes, things defy logic.
His Heavenly Secrets Strategy was like a cheat code.
Like the old man, revealing such secrets was said to incur divine punishment.
Despite Chen Yu’s numerous leaks, he not only avoided retribution, but he thrived from it..
