Chapter 1420 - 565: Taken Away Directly, Turnaround_3

Because it was an issue arising from private practice, he felt embarrassed to ask the hospital for help.

Instead, he chose to handle it himself.

At the plaintiff’s stand, the patient had almost recovered.

The esophageal fistula had largely healed after nearly a month of growth.

Below in the audience, both deans from the Third Hospital were present in person. They were truly menacing, determined to ruin Zhou Can today.

Statements from both sides began quickly.

The reasons for the suit proposed by the patient and family were that after the first surgery, the esophageal fistula could have been healed faster. Yet, for safety’s sake, the First Hospital sought a renowned doctor from outside to help.

They invited Zhou Can for the second surgery.

The result was that Zhou Can concealed the fact that he was only a Resident Doctor and illegally performed jejunal fistula surgery, furthermore proposing conservative treatment for the esophageal fistula, resulting in significant economic loss and physical harm to the patient.

The First Hospital and family had already agreed on their statements.

They claimed that when they invited Zhou Can for the surgery, Zhou Can himself claimed he was qualified, and for earning high fees, he deliberately deceived and concealed the truth.

Simultaneously, they had Jiang Wei as the intermediary to testify.

Jiang Wei, being the surgical nurse for Zhou Can, counted as a third-party witness, and her words had significant credibility.

When it was her turn to testify, she looked at Zhou Can.

Clearly, she was still somewhat anxious.

Zhou Can nodded slightly, indicating she should testify for the plaintiff without worry.

She spoke cautiously during her testimony, minimizing attacks on Zhou Can as much as possible. This included the secretly recorded conversation with Qiao Yu, which she had never presented.

"Jiang Wei, as the surgical nurse beside the defendant, do you confirm the defendant truly committed the violation of operating beyond his level?"

"I confirm! That night, I served as the instrument nurse for Dr. Zhou Can, and Dr. Zhou Can also brought a colleague from Tuya Hospital as an assistant. I saw with my own eyes that Dr. Zhou Can was the lead surgeon for the patient throughout."

She answered firmly.

"Good! Thank you for your cooperation."

At this point, Zhou Can was essentially burdened with the crime of operating beyond his level.

"Defendant, do you object to the above statement?"

"No objections."

Zhou Can shook his head, indicating recognition of Jiang Wei’s words.

The two Dean Zhangs sitting in the audience both showed pleased smiles.

This kid Zhou is bound to take a big fall today.

"Honorable judge, I have something to say."

At this critical moment, Zhou Can spoke again, calmly.

"Please speak!"

"Just now, my instrument nurse Jiang Wei mentioned that during the surgery, I also brought a colleague from Tuya Hospital to participate. I would like to invite him to testify as well, would that be permissible?"

Zhou Can asked politely.

In court, one must always be courteous to the judge and jury, otherwise, it would cost dearly in sentencing and other aspects.

They have considerable discretionary power.

For instance, according to legal provisions, a certain criminal offense may carry a sentence of one to three years.

There’s plenty of room for maneuver within this.

Even including the death penalty, with favorable trial conditions, a stay of execution is still possible.

"Permission granted for the defendant to request the other witness to testify."

The judge agreed.

The two Dean Zhangs sitting in the audience couldn’t help but feel a wave of anxiety. Because Zhou Can had been very composed from the start, suddenly inviting another witness could mean unexpected developments.

Zhong Ming walked into the courtroom from the back and stood on the witness stand.

"It’s him!"

Zhang Mingxing, seeing Zhong Ming’s face clearly, couldn’t help but his expression changed drastically.

Back when they tried to recruit Zhong Ming, Zhang Mingxing had exerted considerable effort, and naturally, recognized him instantly.
