The review chamber was already crowded when Yan arrived. A second waiting room had been opened for clinic workers, and Mei moved between the two spaces with a list of names and appointment times.
“Everyone gets a seat,” she said when a clerk tried to turn away a porter who had come to observe. “If there’s no space, we use the side room. The meeting starts on time.”
Yan found Qinghe, Gu, and Bai near the witness table. Ning stood with the patient-facing notice in her hand. She had printed the batch numbers, the quarantine locations, and instructions for requesting personal records. No patient names appeared.
“Is the wording clear?” she asked Yan.
“It says what happened and what people should do.”
“It also says no patient should stop a prescribed medicine without speaking to a clinician.” She tapped the lower line. “I don’t want a warning to create another emergency.”
“Good.”
The panel entered. Lian presented the repeated concentration test, Sima’s restricted statement, and the independent lab request. The driver’s receipt remained sealed until the clerk logged it into the record. Ning asked that the public notice be posted at the clinics before the review’s findings went out. The panel agreed.
