When determining the source of Li Xiuzhu's infection with hepatitis C, many possibilities need to be ruled out. After the Korean beauty shop, the endoscopy and dental clinics in Australian hospitals, the suspicion of Danyang Third People's Hospital needs to be ruled out now.

Different regions, the procedures are different. The previous domestic mediation has no legal effect here. Even if I really went to Danyang's court to make a judgment, it would still be useless when I went to the United States.

So Lu Zishan needed Qi Jing to testify to the Third Hospital. This was made clear in the mediation before. Qi Jing was also a witness that Lu Zishan had registered from the beginning.

He registered an expert witness, just like Sif, who had just entered. However, Qi Jing is not an expert in the traditional sense of American law. Because he does not have any title or position in the United States, Lu Zishan needed to submit materials related to Qi Jing's identity half a month before the trial to pass the review.

In China, the trial procedure is led by the judge, and the time, scope and process are arranged uniformly by the judge or stipulated by the law.

But in the United States, the judge will convene lawyers from both sides to coordinate and decide on these things.

According to the process determined by both parties, the trial time should start next week's weekend, and it will not start after Qi Jing's North Carolina trip ended. However, the other party's lawyer strongly demanded that the trial start early two days ago. Lu Zishan didn't know that she had invited Sif before, so she agreed to see that the review of Qi Jing had ended.

Unexpectedly, this was a heavy hammer carefully designed by the other party, easily smashing the tilted balance to its initial position.

However, the oci brought by Siph turned the omissions in production and manufacturing into force majeure brought by the virus. Even if the plaintiff was given openly to win the case, the plaintiff's hope in terms of compensation was not achieved.

This is actually no difference from losing the case.

Lu Zishan can only rely on Qi Jing now, hoping that his appearance can change the current stalemate situation again.

Under the care of the bailiff, Qi Jing slowly walked into the court. He looked at Sipher again in the aisle where he came here. The two had never seen each other before, and the position gap was very large, but this glance made Sipher very uncomfortable.

He originally chose to return to the institute to continue working after the testimony, but before leaving, Sever changed his mind and walked around to the audience.

Along the way, Qi Jing was thinking about how to make "friends" with this director. Until he walked into the witness stand, he was still considering this issue. However, Siph's reappearance made Qi Jing's problem easy, and the court became his best stage to show himself.

in the country, witnesses need to sign and write a guarantee letter before taking their testimony.

In the United States, the oath is read.

Vows will be divided into several specifications due to different personal beliefs. Atheists like Qi Jing naturally have no religious beliefs and do not need the Bible, the Old Testament and the Koran. They read the ordinary version:

“i    do    solemnly,    sincerely    and    truly    declare    and    affirm    that    the    evidence    i    shall    give    shall    be    the    truth,    the    whole    truth    and    nothing    but    the    truth.”

(I solemnly, sincerely, truly declare and affirm that the evidence I provide will be the truth, the whole truth, only the truth.)

This time it was Lu Zishan who asked the question first.

"Mr. Qi's profession?"

"Doctor." Qi Jing looked at his wife and said, "they focused on critical emergency and various infectious diseases."

"What is your current professional title?"

"I am the attending doctor in China and can be promoted to deputy chief physician next year."

Because the United States has no difference between attending and deputy director, the professional title words used by Qi Jing are relatively remote. In the eyes of everyone, he is a Chinese doctor. But if this simple sentence enters Sif's ears, many different things will be born because of some of his experiences.

He is less than 30 years old and has been promoted to deputy senior high school, which is not something that anyone can do.

"You are promoted to deputy chief physician next year, which means that your ability is now at the level of deputy chief physician." Lu Zishan continued to ask with a smile, "Can you describe what level is the equivalent of a deputy chief physician in China in the United States?"

"There is only one position for attending doctor in the United States, so the equivalent relationship of professional titles is difficult to define. However, we can make a simple judgment based on the year. The time required for the assessment of deputy chief physicians is about 15 years."

In court, fancy names are often not as direct as numbers, and "fifteen years" can completely prove one's clinical strength.

Later, the couple sang together, and relying on the huge age gap, they asked about the various cases handled by Qi Jing, which further increased Qi Jing's weight.

In terms of identity, Qi Jing cannot compare with Siph, who just testified. Presenting facts and reasoning is the fastest and most effective way. Even if the jury present doubts about Qi Jing's nationality and overall strength in his working environment, he will make some necessary psychological balance because of his excessive excellence.

"Please ask Dr. Qi to tell me about the process of the person involved in the examination of hepatitis C in a domestic hospital."

"Miss Li Xiuzhu had ITP two years ago, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura." Qi Jing said, "Because she was in a very urgent condition and had a tendency to bleeding, the hospital used platelets."

"So hepatitis C was found after using the platelets?"

"right."

"Isn't this the responsibility of the local hospital?"

Qi Jing shook his head: "The blood collection records are recorded at the blood station. After investigation, the platelets she used have not had hepatitis C. Therefore, the hepatitis C in Miss Li Xiuzhu's body must have had it before the platelet transfusion."

"So sure?"

“Very sure.”

Lu Zishan nodded and handed over the right to ask questions to the defendant's lawyer.

Based on the principle of fairness and justice, Lu Zishan had already handed over the defendant's lawyer "Excluding Li Xiuzhu's Possible Hepatitis C Infection" to the defendant's lawyer for review. It has to be said that, except for a small number of interpersonal relationships that proved relatively vaguely, the whole argumentation process was very rigorous.

The treatment process of the Third Hospital is also included. Because of the proof of the blood station, Li Xiuzhu accepted the reconciliation very readily.

In the eyes of others, the content of this material is flawless and there is no loophole at all. But in the eyes of those elite lawyers, it is not a solid piece. It is just that before shattering Qi Jing's testimony, they want to smash Qi Jing himself.

The "expert" witnesses in the United States are not that easy to be.

The one who stood up to ask about the Thomas just now: "Doctor Qi specializes in critical emergency and infectious diseases?"

"right."

"How old is Dr. Qi?"

“28.”

"So young, I was still a little lawyer when I was 28..." Thomas made an appropriate pause, his tone was very subtle, "With my medical level, I really can't associate these two disciplines together. You are only 28 years old and specialize in two unrelated disciplines. Can you really learn them well?"

"It seems that lawyer Thomas seems to have some misunderstandings about clinical medicine, and he has not heard clearly what Director Siphe just said. Clinical medicine is inherently consistent." Qi Jing explained, "The medical courses include many subjects and need to learn everything. Only in order to be more familiar with the current subject and major, there is a saying of 'specialization'."

"But most doctors only specialize in one subject."

"Oh, you are so forgetful. Didn't Director Siphe learn two subjects?"

Thomas raised his eyebrows and said quickly: "He has already said just now that immunology and infectious diseases are positive and negative sides, and they are different from yours."

"If you want to say that, I can only say that nearly half of the patients in critical first aid are related to infectious diseases." Qi Jing smiled and said, "Besides, if a person is excellent enough, it is not difficult to specialize in interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary."

Thomas missed a blow, sighed, and asked again, "Does Dr. Qi have a medical certificate in the United States?"

Qi Jing shook her head: "It's still taking the exam."

"That's not." He got the answer he wanted and immediately asked, "As Dr. Qi said, are you specializing in critical emergency and infectious diseases?"

"right."

“So how to define ‘specialization’ and ‘specialization’?”

The other party obviously did enough homework on Qi Jing, hoping to dig further into the written qualification review: "There are internships and trainings specifically for specific disciplines in the United States, ranging from 2 to 5 years. We can only get the certificate after the training is over. I wonder if there is a similar training system in China that supports what you call "specialization"?"

"I didn't have it at the beginning, but it'll be around next year."

"Even if there is really something next year, it will be useless."

Qi Jing knew very well that the other party wanted this answer, and no matter how he defended himself, he would be forced to say this answer. So he answered this question generously, but after answering it, he immediately added: "But I have other things to prove my ability."

"Oh? Please speak."

"I am a doctoral student in critical care medicine who graduated from Danyang Medical College. I think the doctoral student from a well-known medical college in China is enough to explain the 'specialization'."

“What about infectious diseases?”

"This is simple." Qi Jing smiled, pointed to the document that Lu Zishan was holding in the plaintiff's defense seat, and said, "I studied and worked with Professor Coent of the University of Washington Medical Center in Seattle for a short time five years ago, and jointly diagnosed and treated a measles patient. After that..."

As soon as Coent's name came out, Siphon on the audience had roughly guessed the origin of Qi Jing.

But the defendant's lawyer has always lived in Washington, DC and has no idea about the Seattle doctors on the West Coast. He also has a different understanding of Qi Jing's words: "Together diagnosis and treatment? Any intern can say that he and the chief physician have a patient who are diagnosed and treated together, which is not a problem."

"No wonder Director Sife wants to say you're robbing words. You really hate it." Qi Jing's mouth twitched, without giving him any face. "Can I let me finish the words first?"

Thomas was stunned for a moment and could only nod and said, "...Sorry, please tell me."

"The joint diagnosis and treatment really cannot explain the problem." Qi Jing looked at Lu Zishan and handed over the materials to the judge, and continued, "But the patient was so troublesome that after I made the correct diagnosis, Director Coent wrote me a letter of recommendation."

“Recommendation letter?”

Thomas also got the copy like other defendant lawyers, and looked down and was secretly surprised.

This is not a simple letter of recommendation, but two letters with back and forth.

The first letter was from Coent to the University of Washington School of Medicine. The letter described in detail the entire diagnosis and treatment process of measles patients and explained Qi Jing's attainments in infectious diseases.

Another letter was a reply from a professor of infectious diseases at the University of Washington School of Medicine. The letter was very concerned about Qi Jing's ability in infectious diseases, and stated that as long as Qi Jing passed the exam, he was willing to accept the student.

The recognition of the two American medical giants can already determine Qi Jing's status in infectious diseases.

"The defendant's lawyer, judging from the materials provided by the other party, this Dr. Qi does have infectious diseases that match this case." After reading the materials, the judge gave his own opinions, "At least on the issue of viral infection, I think he is qualified to be an expert witness."

Since the judge said so, Thomas had to give up.

However, he gave up because of the qualifications of expert witnesses. Regarding hepatitis C infection, he still had a lot of questions: "Does Dr. Qi know the OCI mentioned by Director Siphe just now?"

"Know."

"Do you understand?"

"Think about it."

"Doctor Qi should be very clear that OCI's current examination methods are limited, and it is impossible for blood collection stations to perform accurate screening." Thomas asked, "I want to ask you now, based on your professional knowledge, is it possible that the hepatitis C virus of the plaintiff's party caused by a blood donor with OCI?"

If it is just a defendant witness, it is "possible", it is still a situation where the 50s will be opened.

But if Qi Jing said so, it would be acknowledging this statement. Combined with the various certificates they submitted, it would be possible to change the jury's view. At that time, it would be impossible to convict the plaintiff from the lawsuit.

“It is possible…”
