I got an emergency call, but the dorm supervisor, Mrs. Hayes, blocked my way, refusing me entry. “You’re a man, trying to get into the girls’ dorm? Dream on!” I was frantic. “In front of medical personnel, there’s no distinction between men and women.” I desperately ran upstairs and finally saved the girl. But she decided to scam me. “It’s all this unscrupulous doctor’s fault for not treating me in time, leaving me with side effects.” “And when he was saving me, his hands weren’t honest. He touched me.” Throughout the entire New Year’s period, my family and I were subjected to online bullying because of this. Unable to bear the pressure, I leaped from the building. When I opened my eyes again, I saw Mrs. Hayes, the dorm supervisor. This time, I wasn’t in a hurry. After all, the person lying upstairs was Mrs. Hayes’ daughter! “I said no means no. How can a man go up there?” Mrs. Hayes stood with her hands on her hips, inside the door, refusing to open it. “Men are nothing but primal instincts. Letting you into the girls’ dorm is like a wolf in a hen house!” I looked at Mrs. Hayes, masking my inner regret and surprise. “Dr. Turner, please, we need to think of something. The patient is suffering from respiratory alkalosis,” Brittany, the nurse behind me, urged anxiously. I snapped back to reality. “They won’t let us in, so what can we do?” Brittany looked at me, her expression utterly surprised. I knew why she was surprised; it was completely unlike my usual demeanor. In my previous life, I would have joined others to kick that door down and rushed in to save the person. I’d rescued the patient from the clutches of death, but then I was scammed and ended up in a tragic state. Now that I was back, I intended to avoid that ending. However, remembering that family’s nature, I whispered to Brittany, “Get your phone out, film discreetly.” Seeing her activate the camera, I stepped forward to negotiate. “If we miss the optimal window for rescue, this girl could very well suffer permanent side effects.” Mrs. Hayes looked at me with contempt. “You can talk ’til you’re blue in the face, but I’m not letting you into the girls’ dorm!” She scanned us, spitting as she pointed at me. “You don’t look like a good person! Shifty-eyed like that, are you even really medical personnel?” I scoffed internally, but maintained an anxious expression. “If we miss the window to save her, are you really ready to take responsibility for that?” She said triumphantly, “Well, that’s according to school regulations. Whatever happens to her, it’s on her.” Brittany, standing behind me, couldn’t take it anymore. She burst out, “You’re just a glorified doorman! Not letting us up there is practically murder!” Mrs. Hayes wouldn’t tolerate her authority being challenged. Her eyes narrowed. “Are you his little side piece, then, so eager?” “And you look down on me? You’re nothing but a glorified servant yourself.” Our nurses were new recruits, no match for Mrs. Hayes. At her words, Brittany’s eyes welled up. I stepped in front of Brittany. “What ‘side piece’? Don’t project your own dirty mind onto others. Just let us in! A student upstairs needs saving!” Mrs. Hayes’ face flushed crimson, and she started spewing venom. “I’m not letting you up! Do you want to save a student, or just ogle the girls? You’re shameless!” I raised my hands to calm her. “Don’t get agitated, just calm down.” Brittany whispered to me, “Dr. Turner, time is running out.” I sighed, putting on a conciliatory look. “What will it take for you to let us in?” Mrs. Hayes puffed out her chest, cracking sunflower seeds. “You can call the principal. If he agrees, then I’ll let you.” I tried to reason. “Then give us the principal’s number.” She just stopped talking. Brittany and I started calling everyone we knew, and finally found the number. “Dr. Turner, it’s not going through.” Mrs. Hayes said triumphantly, “Can’t reach him, huh? There’s one more way.” I didn’t speak. Brittany urged, “Just tell us!” She pointed at me. “Make this man kneel and beg me.” “Didn’t you say you wanted to save someone? Kneeling for me to save a life is nothing, is it?” Mrs. Hayes took out another handful of sunflower seeds and started cracking them. I said in a low voice, “A young life on the line, up there.” Brittany fumed, “You just wait, I’m going to report you!” I felt a secret thrill; what a perfect assist. Mrs. Hayes was the type who’d explode at the mention of a complaint, like throwing gasoline on a fire. Sure enough, Mrs. Hayes threw the sunflower seed shells directly in our faces. “I don’t need *him* to kneel. *You* kneel for me, and then I’ll let you up.” Brittany’s face turned beet red with anger. “You’re a disgusting lowlife!” Mrs. Hayes stomped her foot, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “Aren’t you all ‘white-clad angels’? Well, someone’s waiting to be saved. Why aren’t you saving them, then, you poser?” Brittany looked at me helplessly. I subtly shook my head. Mrs. Hayes sneered, “I think all this talk of saving lives is fake. You just want to show off in front of this guy, don’t you?” I was about to say something when a frantic voice interrupted me. A student came sprinting down, breathless, and threw herself in front of Mrs. Hayes. “Auntie, she’s really not doing well!” Mrs. Hayes shrugged her off. “Even so, we have to follow regulations.”
The student stamped her foot in frustration. “Auntie, the one who’s sick is…” Mrs. Hayes maintained her officious demeanor. “Even if it were my own parents who were sick, we’d still have to follow regulations.” The student looked at me with pleading eyes, then rushed to the door. “Doctor, please come in quickly! My roommate is really bad. I’ll open the door for you!” With that, she lunged at the door to open it. Mrs. Hayes yanked her back, then pushed her away. The small girl’s body flew back like a rag doll, landing on the ground. We all gasped. “My arm hurts so much,” the girl cried out, her face contorted in pain. “So you just fall apart when a guy’s around, huh? You’d even open the door for him, you’re shameless!” Seeing the pain on the student’s face, I couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy. The girl struggled to her feet, leaning on the wall. “Auntie, the one waiting for rescue upstairs is Chl…” Before she could finish, Mrs. Hayes cut her off again. “Get back upstairs, or I’ll give you a major disciplinary action!” I couldn’t watch anymore. I snapped at her directly, “You’re just a dorm supervisor. What kind of disciplinary action? What authority do you even have?” Hearing me say that, the student gathered her courage. “Exactly! I’m going to tell my parents how you pushed me! And the one waiting for rescue upstairs is Chloe Hayes!” Mrs. Hayes’ face flushed red with anger at the mention of parents. But when she heard it was Chloe Hayes who needed rescue, her face instantly went pale. “What? My daughter is sick? You ungrateful brat, why didn’t you say so sooner?” Now, she didn’t waste any more words. She flung the door open, glaring at me menacingly. “You’re going into the girls’ dorm, so keep your eyes to yourself. Don’t go looking around, or I’ll call the police!” “If my daughter doesn’t make it, I’ll never forgive you!” There was no elevator in the dorm building, so we had to climb the stairs. Mrs. Hayes trailed right on my heels, muttering endlessly. “Can’t you move any faster?” “You’re a man, and you’re running so slowly? Are you even a man?” I scoffed. “If you hadn’t blocked us, we would have started the rescue long ago. You’re primarily responsible for this.” “If you really wanted to save my daughter, you would have knelt for me already. You’re not genuinely trying to save her, and you still have the nerve to call yourselves doctors and nurses.” The dorm was on the seventh floor. I was already out of breath and had no energy to deal with someone like her. Good thing every word she said had been recorded. This time, I’d like to see how she tries to manipulate public opinion and bully me online! The dorm room door was wide open. I quietly reminded Brittany, “Keep the camera rolling.” The girl lying on the ground was still conscious. Hearing our voices, she weakly opened her eyes and looked at me. “Why is it a male doctor? I want a female doctor.” Brittany tried to persuade her. “Young lady, your condition is very serious right now.” I said in a low voice, “In our eyes as doctors, there are only patients, not men or women.” “But I don’t even have a boyfriend yet! How can a male doctor touch me?” Mrs. Hayes said anxiously, “Oh, daughter, please stop talking!” She shoved me. “What are you standing around for? Save her!” Even though I knew what this mother and daughter were like, I was a doctor. I couldn’t stand by and let a patient die. After a quick examination, I turned to Brittany. “Alright, let’s get her onto the ambulance.” Mrs. Hayes followed right on my heels. “Is my daughter alright? You just saved her, why do we need to go to the hospital? You’re not trying to scam us, are you?!” I stopped. “She’s out of immediate danger, but she needs further observation.” She muttered under her breath, “I know you people, you just want us to spend more money.” At the hospital, after further checks, Chloe Hayes was confirmed to be fine by noon. Brittany sighed in relief. “It was a hassle, but thankfully we saved her.” Mrs. Hayes wasn’t happy. “My daughter was fine anyway! You just had to drag her to the hospital to make me spend more money!” “I want to check out!” I subtly signaled Brittany to keep recording. Only after she nodded did I speak. “Keeping the patient hospitalized is to ensure she’s completely out of danger. If you want to check out now, you’ll need to sign a waiver.” Hearing this, Mrs. Hayes instantly refused. “A waiver? I’m not signing that!” I stated professionally, “Then she’ll need to stay for another week of observation.”
Mrs. Hayes immediately threw herself on the ground and wailed loudly, “This hospital is bullying people!” Soon, a crowd gathered. Seeing people arrive, Mrs. Hayes ratcheted up the drama! “This hospital is trying to extort money! My daughter wants to leave, but they won’t let her!” Was I going to let her twist the truth? I looked around and said loudly, “According to regulations, she needs to stay for a full week. This is for the patient’s own good.” Mrs. Hayes shot up, lowered her head, and bumped into me. “Bullshit rules! You just want to make money!” I let her bump me, not lifting a finger. “You can check out, just sign the waiver.” The people around us chimed in. “Yeah, you have to follow the rules! If you don’t sign the waiver and something happens, who’s responsible?” I held up the waiver in front of Mrs. Hayes, saying each word clearly. “Ma’am, aren’t you the one who cares most about regulations? Sign it.” Mrs. Hayes glared at me, gritting her teeth. She snatched it, tore it to shreds in a flash, and flung the pieces into the air. “I’m not signing!” The crowd dispersed after we left. Brittany sent me the video, then asked worriedly, “Dr. Turner, do you think that lady will pull another stunt?” I scoffed, a sarcastic smile playing on my lips. “Just wait.” Sure enough, the next day, Brittany rushed to find me. “Dr. Turner, that dorm supervisor and her daughter skipped out!” Nothing those two did surprised me anymore. “Were the fees settled?” Brittany checked and said indignantly, “They still owe $500.” I directly transferred $500. “I’ll cover it for them.” After Brittany completed the transaction, she said sincerely, “Dr. Turner, you’re too kind.” I just smiled faintly, saying nothing. It wasn’t out of naive generosity. That $500, along with those videos, would all be used to help me later! I waited a few days, and those two hadn’t shown their faces yet. I thought my evidence might go to waste. Just as I was thinking this, Brittany ran in, panting. “Dr. Turner, you need to come out! That dorm supervisor is making a scene!” I dropped the medical chart and ran out. The entrance hall was packed with people. Mrs. Hayes’ voice could carry for blocks away. “My daughter was treated by this quack doctor, and now she has side effects!” “Look at my daughter! She used to be so vibrant, and now she’s so gaunt!” People around us started murmuring, pulling out their phones to record. “Get security to maintain order,” I said, then squeezed through the crowd. “Everyone, please make way.” As soon as Mrs. Hayes saw me, she charged. One hand grabbed my collar, the other swung at my face, knocking my glasses off. “Quack! After coming home, my daughter developed side effects!” The crowd angrily said, “What kind of doctor is this?!” I struggled free. “Let’s talk this out. If you lay another hand on me, I’ll call the police!” Mrs. Hayes became even more agitated. “Everyone, look at this unscrupulous doctor’s true colors! My daughter is drowsy every day now!” She cried as she spoke. “My daughter is still in college. What’s going to happen to her now?” Chloe Hayes stood silently beside her, quietly sobbing.
