Frail Life, Sky-high Bills
Chapter 3
Andre acted quickly, gathering his friends who had suffered similar experiences and posting videos online accusing Amanda of abusing patients, intentionally forcing their families to make repeated payments for financial gain.
I spent money buying online buzz and hired netizens to push the issue to the top of the Facebook trending topics.
The name "Amanda" dominated the trending topics for three consecutive days, attracting widespread attention.
In fact, there were many victims of Amanda's atrocities, but seeing that no one around them dared to speak up and with Amanda's backers using money to silence them, they were forced to endure in silence.
However, now the situation had changed. As more and more people spoke out.
They voiced their grievances online with tears streaming down their faces.
One such victim was a father who discovered that his daughter had been abused, leading to the loss of some of her organs and causing his hair to turn white overnight.
Because the hospital defended Amanda and falsely accused the patients, it led to the death of a boy who had just been admitted to university and was about to embark on a beautiful college life.
And there were new parents who had spent all their savings to treat their newborn child but found out that their child had been tortured to death by Amanda on the first day in the hospital.
Each one of them was incredibly pitiful.
They intended to cure their children or loved ones, but instead, they were tortured to the point of despair.
The people they tried to save with tears in the hospital were robbed of their will to live.
On the seventh day of the online outcry against Amanda's abuse and intentional harm to patients for financial gain, I took videos and chat records to Dex Hospital.
I slammed the bank card down on the counter.
"Dr. Green asked me to come and pay the outstanding balance."
The nurse looked me up and down with disdain and then proceeded to deduct the money from my card.
Then they started deducting money from my card.
I had deposited 300 thousand dollars in this card.
However, during this period, the hospital had been sending me notice of unpaid bills totaling over 400 thousand dollars.
If an ordinary family were falsely accused of owing such a large amount, I couldn't imagine how they would repay it.
The nurse frowned and returned the card to me, saying, "Ms. Swift, there's not enough money in your card. You need to pay the remaining balance today. Otherwise..."
"Otherwise, you'll spread the story online that I refused to pay and let my mother die?"
I shouted loudly, causing other patients in the hospital lobby to turn their heads and look at me.
Some of them even took out their phones to start recording videos.
The nurse glanced nervously at the others and quickly said to me, "Ms. Swift, please don't speak so loudly. You're disturbing other patients."
I sneered, raised the card in my hand,
"This card has 300 thousand dollars in it. I also paid a deposit when I brought my mother to the hospital."
"My intention was to heal my mother and relieve her from the suffering of cancer, but I never expected that she would lose her will to live not because of cancer, but because of the abuse from her attending physician, Amanda.
I'm really curious who Amanda's backers are that they are so reluctant to deal with her."
In my previous life, I spent all my time either working or observing Mandy's condition next to Amanda.
I recorded every detail of Mandy's condition, intending to better understand her specific illness.
Little did I know that Mandy was a hypocrite, appearing harmless in front of me but doubling her abuse towards Mandy behind my back.
"Ms. Swift, please don't make it difficult for our hospital staff. It will cause us trouble in our work."
"Moreover, I have never abused any patients, nor have I tortured your mother. If you continue to say such things, I will inevitably think that you are trying to escape the murder charge of your mother, since it was your failure to pay the fees that ultimately led to her death."
From a distance, Amanda, Mandy's attending physician, hurriedly walked over and pushed her way through the crowd to stand in front of me.
