It is a realistic novel focusing on grassroots medical corruption. After Xing Shouren, the chief doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, became the dean through bribery, he made a lot of money in the name of developing traditional Chinese medicine: he colluded with drug dealers to purchase inferior traditional Chinese medicine and received high kickbacks; he forced high-priced traditional Chinese medicine physiotherapy and inflated consumables; he misappropriated public funds to carry out large-scale projects and enriched his own pockets; he even used "special supply of traditional Chinese medicine" as a guise to bribe his superiors and weave a protective net.
Vice president Li Changhe and young doctor Su Banxia noticed something unusual and tried to resist, but were framed and suppressed, suspended and threatened. In a desperate situation, the evidence left by the old pharmacist risking his life becomes the key. A life-and-death battle between justice and corruption unfolded thrillingly in a small hospital.
The novel profoundly exposes how corrupt elements take advantage of professional barriers and regulatory loopholes to do whatever they want, vividly depicts the persistence and struggle of grassroots medical workers in difficult situations, and shows the difficulty and hope of rebuilding medical ethics and trust.
