The nurse took a deep breath. It seemed she had already made up her mind.
"There could be foreign substances that have entered through the food that you ate this afternoon. Or through the IV fluids that we gave you this morning."
"Shouldn't it be sterile?" Shinnshiow looked at the nurse's face. "So, is it possible that someone touched the food or IV before it was given to me?"
"This hospital is a big and luxurious hospital. So it should be that safety in this place is the main thing. And it's true that it is a priority here. But that doesn't mean that there have never been some violations."
The nurse stopped talking. Her face changed. Shinnshiow was worried that she would regret what she said, so she didn't want to finish what she had started.
"Don't be afraid. This is our secret. You will not get involved in this."
"Six months ago there was an error in the administration of drugs through intravenous fluids."
Again, the nurse stopped talking.
Shinnshiow was surprised to hear that.
"One month earlier." The nurse continued. "There was also a patient who vomited because the food he was eating was mixed up with that of another patient. According to one of my seniors here, something like this had also happened several times a few years ago."
This shouldn't happen in a nice hospital like this.
"Nurse, how long have you been working here?"
"Just one year, Sir."
"Before, worked at another hospital?"
"I just graduated from nursing school two years ago. But only a year ago I got a job."
"So you have to wait a year before you can work in the health sector."
"That's because I graduated from a faraway place, Sir. So the hospitals in this big city and also the surrounding areas only prioritize nursing school graduates in this area. We, who are graduates from the other regions, have to fight hard to be accepted."
"It turns out that there is such a thing."
"Yes, Sir! At least, in the health sector, it happened. I don't know how it is in other sectors."
"Back to the matter. How come I never heard any news about those things?"
"Because the hospital always finds an agreement with the patient's family. So, legally, there has never been a lawsuit."
"But financially, of course, it's a bit burdensome."
"I think so, Sir! But that's much better than getting into legal troubles. Reputation is much more important."
"So, the bottom line is there is a possibility of super-drugs or drugs entering my body through IV fluids or food from this hospital."
"Yes, Sir! That's exactly what I mean."
"I'm definitely not going to sue because I haven't had any negative effects."
"Thank you, Sir!"
The nurse took a deep breath. It seemed she had already made up her mind.
