Chapter 174 I'm Not Mentally Ill (12)
After being reported in newspapers and on television, this bizarre event was quickly broadcast by major newspapers and television stations across the country.
Numerous media reporters flocked to the scene to interview the local police station and the Fourth Mental Hospital.
The local authorities were on high alert and continuously dispatched police to maintain order at the entrance of the Fourth Hospital.
Many citizens and students also stood in front of the Fourth Hospital to show their support for Wu Xiaoxiao, and lined up to sing the national anthem in unison.
"Rise up, you who do not want to be slaves..."
The television cameras were focused on these people, and reporters began broadcasting live from the scene.
These people sang for a while, and then, surprisingly, a chorus could be heard coming from over the wall inside the closed area:
"Rise up, you who do not want to be slaves..."
These voices included both male and female voices, and varied in pitch, yet they strangely maintained a consistent rhythm.
The crowd singing the national anthem at the entrance immediately became excited and continued singing loudly.
The scene of people inside and outside the wall singing the national anthem together deeply moved the media reporters present.
It also deeply moved the viewers in front of their televisions.
People kept arriving, and people kept interrupting the phone to complain about the Fourth Hospital's regulatory department.
They demanded severe punishment for the hospital's president and medical staff, and a change to the unreasonable industry regulation that requires someone to drop off or pick up a patient.
A reporter, with his back to the sign at the entrance of the Fourth Hospital, held a microphone and spoke into the camera:
"Wu Xiaoxiao was originally an 18-year-old girl in the prime of her youth, such a beautiful age."
She has a multi-million dollar property left by her father and has been admitted to her desired prestigious university.
She could have had an enviable and wonderful life, but all of that came to an abrupt end after this year's college entrance examination.
She was falsely accused of being mentally ill by her biological mother and forcibly sent to the Fourth Hospital.
In this incident, the Fourth Hospital forced Wu Xiaoxiao to be hospitalized for treatment based solely on a forged psychiatric diagnosis.
The complete failure to fulfill relevant review responsibilities undoubtedly violates the hospital's treatment guidelines.
They are also involved in illegal restriction of personal freedom and medical malpractice.
Wu Xiaoxiao has the right to file a lawsuit and demand compensation.
I would like to ask Director Qin of the Fourth Hospital and the medical staff in the intensive care unit.
Despite knowing that Wu Xiaoxiao did not have a mental illness, they still forcibly administered medication and electroshock therapy to her every day.
Do they know that this is a crime?
This behavior is no longer just an administrative offense, but involves criminal liability.
Calling it illegal detention or malicious harm wouldn't be an exaggeration.
We hope that relevant departments and leaders will take immediate action, seriously deal with those responsible, and give Wu Xiaoxiao justice.
Most media outlets targeted the Fourth Hospital and its supervising authorities, while some reporters went to the police station to report the incident and urge them to investigate the Fourth Hospital for suspected illegal detention and malicious assault.
The people at the Fourth Hospital and the local police station are in a real mess. It's not that the leaders aren't there or that I don't know what's going on.
Or they might say, "I'm not in charge of this area, I can't make the decision, it requires the approval of higher-ups," and so on.
Some media reporters took a different approach, going to the local education department and the prestigious university that Wu Xiaoxiao was admitted to for interviews.
We urge them to speak out and help Wu Xiaoxiao.
The media reported on the situation for three consecutive days, and the local government's inaction was also noticed and brought to the attention of the audience.
The incident immediately sparked public outrage, and under pressure from public opinion, the local government quickly established a working group to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the matter.
The results were quickly announced: President Qin of the Fourth Hospital was dismissed, and the medical staff involved, including Dr. Cao, were expelled and had their medical licenses revoked.
The hospital compensated Wu Xiaoxiao for hospitalization expenses of 21,673 yuan and mental distress compensation of 50,000 yuan.
At the same time, Wu Xiaoxiao was transferred to the provincial mental hospital for treatment.
However, media reporters had doubts about this and hoped to interview Wu Xiaoxiao and conduct a new mental evaluation on her.
To dispel doubts, relevant departments organized an expert consultation meeting and invited reporters to attend.
This was the first time Wu Xiaoxiao had appeared in front of the public and in front of reporters since she was detained.
Facing the camera, she smiled; the little girl looked energetic and vibrant.
There was absolutely no indication that he was a patient with severe schizophrenia.
Before the expert diagnosis, Wu Xiaoxiao made a request: she wanted to face the national flag, sing the national anthem, and then undergo the mental health assessment.
The leaders of the working group discussed it briefly and nodded in agreement.
Anyway, there are no other mental patients here, so she can't incite anyone by herself.
Xiao Yu faced the five-star red flag and sang the national anthem.
During the expert's diagnosis, Xiaoxiao perfectly demonstrated the way of thinking a normal person should have.
This left the group of experts completely dumbfounded.
Undeterred, they had it diagnosed again, but the result remained unchanged.
The reporters were excited.
The working group was worried.
The experts got excited again.
In the end, it could only be declared that Wu Xiaoxiao does not have a mental illness and is a normal person with civil capacity.
Then the question arises: shouldn't Wu Xiaoxiao's previous actions have been suspected of breaking the law?
Will I bear any legal responsibility?
This issue has sparked heated debate.
Dean Qin's wife went around protesting her innocence and threatened to sue Wu Xiaoxiao.
Finally, the working group issued a statement saying that, given that Wu Xiaoxiao was in a state of schizophrenia during treatment and lacked the capacity for civil conduct, she was not involved in any illegal or criminal activities.
The court refused to accept Mrs. Qin's lawsuit, believing that the responsible party was not Wu Xiaoxiao, but your company.
Everyone was overjoyed to learn that Wu Xiaoxiao's mental illness had miraculously healed itself after singing the national anthem.
After returning, the expert team conducted experiments in multiple hospitals, playing the national anthem through loudspeakers in the hospital areas every day.
However, the effect was not obvious.
The only exception is that the patients with severe schizophrenia in the Fourth Hospital are showing increasingly better behavior.
Many were transferred to the open ward of the hospital after being re-diagnosed, allowing them to live with their families.
Three days later, XX key university sent an invitation, asking Wu Xiaoxiao to come to the school as soon as possible to complete the enrollment registration procedures.
"Wu Xiaoxiao, hurry up and start class!"
Wu Xiaoxiao was completely bewildered as her classmate pulled her out of her dormitory bed, clutching the textbooks that her classmate had shoved into her arms.
What the heck is this?
She looked at the advanced mathematics textbook in her hand.
After a moment, Wu Xiaoxiao finally understood.
After class, she immediately inquired about Wei Dahong's family and learned that all three of them were receiving treatment in a mental hospital.
When Wu Xiaoxiao realized that their only house was still registered in their name, she was completely dumbfounded.
……
When Xiao Xiao opened her eyes again, she found herself holding half a cookie in her hand, wearing a floral cotton coat, and sitting alone on a small red plastic stool in the bathroom.
Even through the bathroom door, you could hear the arguing coming from the living room outside.
"If you don't want to live here anymore, then get out of my house."
Just then, the bathroom door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Xiao Xiao instinctively hid the biscuit in her hand behind her back.
