Ten years ago, a shocking event happened in the medical world, and the main character was a doctor named Lan Yuefeng, who was known as the "corridor doctor".
On that stormy morning, when Lan Yuefeng walked into the hospital as usual, she found that her office door lock had been changed.
At this moment, she realized that her life was about to embark on a bumpy journey. She chose an unusual path, one full of hardships and challenges.
Although her actions aroused the sympathy of some colleagues, it also confused and puzzled many more.
Was her behavior a commitment to her work ethic, or a futile struggle? Can her persistence truly shake those deep-rooted malpractices?
Ten years have passed, and people have begun to ask: What happened to Lan Yuefeng, the "corridor doctor" who once stood in the corridor?
One day in 2010, Lan Yuefeng walked into the ultrasound department, and the scene in front of her made her stop. In the department, there is a brand new color ultrasound diagnostic machine (color ultrasound machine), which is said to be worth as much as 2.35 million yuan.
The arrival of this equipment has caused quite a stir in the department, after all, for any medical institution, the introduction of such a first-class equipment is a big deal.
However, after taking a closer look at the device, Lan Yuefeng found some anomalies. This color ultrasound machine, which is advertised as a "new import", is in essence an old machine from 2005.
After carefully checking the model of the machine and the production serial number, Lan Yuefeng confirmed his suspicions. This machine is not only an old model, but also has technical flaws.
She remembers that a few years ago, the price of this machine in the market was lowered to 1.6 million due to some performance problems, and even at that time she considered whether she should buy it and finally decided to give up.
The existence of this color ultrasound machine is full of questions for Lan Yuefeng. She couldn't understand why the hospital would buy an old piece of equipment at such a high **, and it was a device that was known to be defective.
She began to question the hospital's management and procurement decisions, thinking about the possible problems behind it. For Lan Yuefeng, this color ultrasound machine is not only a medical equipment, but also a window to uncover the problems of hospital management.
In the days that followed, Lan Yuefeng began to pay close attention to the hospital's procurement records and management decisions. She noticed some unusual phenomena, such as purchasing equipment that was not urgently needed, or replacing existing equipment for normal use when it was not necessary.
She even noticed that some of the equipment was purchased** much higher than the average market price, which made her even more suspicious of whether there was an improper transfer of benefits.
After Lan Yuefeng discovered the problem with the color ultrasound machine, he decided to bring these doubts to the director of the hospital.
She compiled a detailed report, including the model, procurement**, market value, and technical defects of the ultrasound machine, and requested an interview with the dean.
In the meeting with the dean, Lan Yuefeng presented his findings and concerns in detail, hoping that the dean would pay attention to this issue and take corresponding action.
However, the dean did not pay enough attention to Lan Yuefeng's report. He briefly skimmed through the report and gave some general answers to the questions raised by Lan Yuefeng, without showing any intention of investigating in depth.
After the meeting, Lan Yuefeng felt that his efforts did not seem to attract enough attention from the hospital.
As time went on, Lan Yuefeng continued to observe more questionable situations in his work.
She noticed that hospitals don't seem to care about cost-effectiveness when purchasing equipment and medicines, but think more about how they can get more rebates from ** vendors.
In addition, she also found that the hospital also had an over-medical phenomenon in diagnosis and treatment, and some unnecessary tests and ** were frequently recommended to patients.
After in-depth investigation and thinking, Lan Yuefeng decided to report these problems to the relevant departments. She wrote a detailed report letter, listing the various problems existing in the hospital's procurement, diagnosis and treatment, and attached relevant evidence materials. She sent the letter in secret, hoping to attract attention from the outside world and prompt the hospital to correct its mistakes.
However, when the hospital leaders learned of Lan Yuefeng's report, they were extremely angry with her. The hospital believes that Lan Yuefeng's actions have damaged the hospital's reputation and affected internal unity.
Therefore, the hospital decided to punish Lan Yuefeng. They informed Lan Yuefeng that due to her actions, she would be deducted from her bonus for the month and accept the punishment of suspension.
Despite facing such a punishment, Lan Yuefeng still stood his ground. She believes that what she is doing is right and is for the long-term development of the hospital and the benefit of patients.
During the period of suspension, she still came to the hospital on time every day, sat at her desk, and although she was unable to carry out her daily medical work, she still carefully read medical materials and constantly improved her professional knowledge.
After Lan Yuefeng was suspended, hospital management took steps to change the lock on her office door in order to put further pressure.
One morning, when Lan Yuefeng arrived at the hospital as usual and was about to enter his office, he found that the door lock had been replaced.
She tried to unlock the door with her own key, but was unsuccessful. This move was clearly an attempt by the hospital management to force her to give up her fight and stop all actions related to the report.
Faced with this situation, Lan Yuefeng did not choose to retreat. Unable to access her office, she decided to continue her work in the corridors of the hospital.
Every morning, she would arrive at the hospital on time, find a relatively quiet corner to sit down, put her paperwork on her lap, and start working on paperwork.
She brought some medical materials and documents with her, and read and recorded them in the hospital corridor, just like in her own office.
This went on for more than 900 days. During this time, Lan Yuefeng became the focus of attention inside and outside the hospital.
Every day, hospital staff and patients see her sitting in the corridors, working silently. Although her behavior caused private discussions among some colleagues, few people spoke to her in public.
Lan Yuefeng's persistence has become a unique existence in the public place of the hospital.
During the time that Lan Yuefeng was sticking to the corridor, the hospital's investigation team also intervened in the matter. They investigated the excessive medical problems raised by Lan Yuefeng.
Lan Yuefeng provided some evidence she had collected, including relevant medical records and procurement documents, as well as some irregularities in medical practices that she had personally observed.
After a period of investigation, the investigation team came to a conclusion that was different from Lan Yuefeng's view. They believe that Lan Yuefeng's excessive medical treatment is false and that there is insufficient evidence to support her allegations.
This result was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Lan Yuefeng. Her long-term efforts and persistence seem to have failed to attract enough attention, and her whistleblowing has not changed anything.
Even in the face of such a result, Lan Yuefeng did not give up.
She continued to sit in the corridors of the hospital, continuing her "office" work. Despite being isolated from mainstream activities at the hospital, she retains her loyalty and dignity to her profession.
Lan Yuefeng's husband is also a doctor who works in the same hospital. His area of expertise at the hospital is different from Lan Yuefeng's, but both are conscientious medical workers. However, as Lan Yuefeng was ostracized for exposing the hospital's problems, the couple's relationship gradually fell into trouble.
As the incident unfolded, Lan Yuefeng's situation in the hospital became more and more difficult, and her husband was indirectly affected by it.
His work in the hospital began to receive strange glances from his colleagues, and he even sometimes heard discussions about Lan Yuefeng in the corridor.
These changes have had a significant impact on his career. Although he did not directly participate in his wife's whistleblowing action, as Lan Yuefeng's husband, his status and image in the hospital were also affected.
Faced with such a situation, Lan Yuefeng deeply felt that the status of the husband and wife in the hospital was not as good as before. Considering her husband's career prospects and his image in the hospital, Lan Yuefeng made a difficult decision: divorce.
She believes that this will alleviate the negative impact of her husband's actions to a certain extent.
During the divorce process, Lan Yuefeng took the initiative to give up the property she owned jointly with her husband. She did not ask for the division of the joint property, nor did she make any financial claims, but simply and simply ended the marriage.
This decision is undoubtedly a huge sacrifice for Lan Yuefeng. Not only did she lose her long-time partner, but she also lost the foundation of life that she had accumulated through the joint efforts she had worked together.
Lan Yuefeng's series of behaviors and decisions have attracted the attention of some colleagues in the hospital. Some colleagues expressed sympathy for Lan Yuefeng, who thought she was a highly skilled and dedicated doctor, and regretted what happened to her.
These colleagues realized that Lan Yuefeng's behavior was out of adherence to medical professional ethics, and her purpose was to expose and correct the problems existing in the hospital.
However, there are also some colleagues who have a different view of Lan Yuefeng's behavior. They believe that although Lan Yuefeng has the courage to expose the problem, he should also consider the impact of his actions on the hospital and other colleagues.
In their view, not all medical workers have lost their professional ethics, and Lan Yuefeng's actions may have brought unfair evaluation and influence to other innocent medical workers.
Lan Yuefeng's road to struggle was not easy. As a fifty-year-old veteran doctor, she was supposed to enjoy the best period of her career, but the reality was far from that.
In the face of major blows in his personal life and career, Lan Yuefeng remained steadfast. She persevered in the corridor of the hospital for more than 900 days, which is not only a commitment to her beliefs, but also a manifestation of the injustice of the medical industry.
Although Lan Yuefeng's efforts failed to directly change the hospital's management and failed to get the relevant departments to accept her report, her actions have attracted some attention in society.
Her deeds have been reported by some **, which has aroused public attention to the problem of medical corruption. In part, her courageous act was a wake-up call to the possibility of malpractices in the health care system.
In the process, Lan Yuefeng lost too much. She lost her marriage to her husband, lost her job in the hospital, and even lost the understanding and support of some of her colleagues.
But in her view, none of this was as important as her adherence to her conscience. She believes that as a doctor, maintaining professional ethics and conscience is far more important than personal interests. Although this kind of persistence has cost her a huge price, it also reflects the spirit of benevolence of the doctor.
Lan Yuefeng's persistence seemed too idealistic in the eyes of some people, and even a little stubborn.
But in the eyes of others, she is a real hero. She is not afraid of power and dares to expose the dark side of the medical profession, and this courage and sense of justice are admirable.
Although her actions did not immediately change the status quo, her spirit and efforts sowed the seeds for possible future reforms.
Lan Yuefeng's days in the corridor of the hospital have gradually become a special scene in the hospital.
Her presence is a reminder to every doctor and patient who passes by her:In the medical field, in addition to professional skills, there is one thing that is equally important – conscience and ethics.
Lan Yuefeng's story was spread as a good story in the hospital, and it also caused a certain repercussion in the society.
Although Lan Yuefeng was not able to resume her position in the hospital in the end, her actions and sacrifices became an important symbol.
She practiced the professional spirit of "benevolence of doctors" with her practical actions, and although she suffered a huge personal loss, her courage and persistence made her a hero of the people in a sense, and made a powerful voice for the ethics and justice of the medical profession.
