Surgery Godfather Chapter 355

Chapter 355: Chapter 0338: The Final Judgment

A week passed quickly, and over the weekend, Yang Ping performed over a dozen surgeries at the Li Quan Hospital.

On Monday, Yang Ping agreed with Director Tian to go to the court to attend Director Zhu's hearing, just as they were leaving, Boss Cheng called again.

A CEO had attempted to climb Mount Everest in Tibet, but he hadn't even started climbing when he tripped at the base, injuring his knee. He wanted to be treated at Li Quan Hospital.

Usually, this CEO enjoyed mountain climbing and took many photos every time he ascended Mount Everest to cultivate an adventurous masculine image. He had a strong backup team that would pull and carry him up the mountain.

By playing often, one easily becomes illusioned. This time, the CEO thought he could handle it on his own, gathering several CEOs with the same hobby, intending to have a real attempt.

However, just as they were about to start their ascent, a stone caused the CEO to trip, resulting in a heavy fall, and his left knee swelled severely. A friend recommended him to Li Quan Hospital in G City, where he could get quick treatment from a specialist surgeon, Luo Jin.

Even if he chartered a flight from Tibet, he couldn't possibly arrive in the morning. Yang Ping and Director Tian hurriedly rushed to the court.

When they arrived, the spectator stands were already occupied, and both Director Zhu and Wang Ge were also in their spots.

On the plaintiff's bench to the left of the judge's seat, there were Director Zhu and his attorney. Director Zhu seemed calm, as if waiting for a regular company meeting.

On the right, the defendant's bench, Wang Ge was hunched in his chair with a wheelchair next to him, his substitute attorney was frantically browsing through documents. His previous attorney had rejected representing Wang Ge in court, and he had to find another at the last moment.

Wang Ge was in poor mental state, his eyes bloodshot and his face covered in papules of different sizes. His breathing was erratic, and the entire man exuded an explosive aura, as though he could lose control and explode at any moment.

This case had been dragged on for five years from the first to the second trial, with the court leading over a dozen investigations.

During the numerous hearings, Wang Ge had challenged the surgery appraisal done by the expert panel from the Nandu Province Health Department for Zhu Cheng, suspecting favoritism among professionals, the media also followed this trend.

The court invited two expert groups from other provinces to conduct a second appraisal of the surgery. Both groups independently concluded that the entire diagnostic and treatment process was normal and did not in any way violate any medical standards.

The surgery performed by Zhu Cheng was a conventional colostomy, a commonly used procedure for abdominal intestinal injuries and considering the condition of the patient, the procedure was necessary. There were no incidents of abdominal ruptures or extruding feces post-surgery.

Wang Ge refused to admit to spreading false news about the surgery. A thorough investigation was carried out on the news article, verifying each detail meticulously. The final conclusion was that the article was a complete fake.

The court clerk was well prepared. The presiding judge, accompanied by two other judges wearing robes, walked in. After taking their seats, they didn't speak. The presiding judge lifted his mallet and banged it on the table.

As the gavel struck the table, there was a hush from the crowd. The court was officially in session. This was the final hearing to announce the judgment of the second trial.

The judge had a serious expression, flipping open the judgment and began to read aloud: “– The defendant, as a veteran journalist, should have a thorough and clear understanding of the professional conduct and principles of journalism. However, when the defendant was reporting the plaintiff's surgery involved in this case, he did not uphold an objective and fair journalistic principle, failing to accurately reflect the truth. Despite the plaintiff's repeated communication with and cautioning of the defendant, the defendant not only failed to correct his mistake, but he also continued to publish reports contrary to the facts, severely infringing the plaintiff's right to reputation –”

The judgment was over fifty pages long and contained more than thirty thousand words. Every single word was a testament to the hard work of the court staff. Every detail could withstand the scrutiny of history, and this judgment would go into the annals of law.

The presiding judge read out the fifty-page judgment in a clear and loud voice. The final judgment was that defendant Wang Ge had infringed upon the plaintiff Zhu Cheng's right to reputation. He was to apologize to Zhu Cheng in court and in a newspaper, and compensate Zhu Cheng thirty thousand RMB for the damage to his reputation.

After five years, justice was finally served. When Director Zhu heard the final verdict, he was overwhelmed with emotions, experiencing a mix of feelings.

A few years had passed — a period he didn't want to remember!

He had been burdened with the infamy of being an unscrupulous and incompetent doctor who disregarded the value of life. He was forced to leave his beloved job, and his decade-long efforts were in vain as he has to start from scratch.

Wang Ge leaned back into his chair, his eyes closed, looking rather haggard. The sound of the judge's gavel reminded him to apologize in court and to publish his apology in the newspaper within a specified period, as well as to make the financial compensation.

However, Wang Ge pretended not to hear, not responding. Nobody can wake a person who is pretending to be asleep.

Wang Ge knew that this verdict was final. The outcome of the lawsuit with Zhu Cheng had been determined. The unruly approach no longer worked. He resorted to playing dumb. He did not object to the verdict neither did he create a scene in court. By playing mute, what could be done against him?

“The defendant–” The judge reminded him again.

“My client is currently in poor physical health and unable to express himself verbally.” Wang Ge's attorney immediately explained to the judge.

“According to the Answers to Several Issues Concerning the Trial of Reputation Rights Cases issued by the Supreme People's Court on August 7, 1993, if the person who violated the law refuses to carry out the effective judgment and does not restore the reputations for others and eliminate the impact, the People's Court can adopt measures such as announcements and newspaper advertisements to publicize the main contents of the judgment and related matters. The expenses shall be borne by the person to be executed!” The judge said sternly.
