The next morning, at nearly half past nine, Yan Feifan and Mrs. Yu arrived at the hospital's medical affairs department in the general administration building.
In a small conference room, they met two male officials from the Ministry of Health who had come to investigate the alleged violation.
One was Li Xinmin, a section chief in his thirties, and the other was a young investigator, Sun Xian.
Also attending the meeting was Zhou Yuan, a section chief from the hospital's medical affairs department who specialized in handling complaints and medical disputes.
"Mrs. Yu, Mr. Yan..."
Li Xinmin from the Ministry of Health spoke politely, "Allow me to first brief you on the details of the complaint."
"The patient, Huang, filed a complaint stating that at noon on April 21st, he underwent a left thumb replantation surgery in the trauma surgery department of the Affiliated Hospital."
"Shortly after the surgery began, Mrs. Yu, you were unable to continue due to a sudden health issue."
