The moment of rebirth, I suddenly realized that my destiny had been rewritten.
"Rachel! You are amazing! Once this paper is published, it will be a major contribution of our hospital to the academic community of surgery!"
"I never thought that Rachel is not only outstanding in appearance and surgical skills, but also so good at orthopedics. You are really my idol!"
Team members all looked at me with admiration.
At this time, the chief of surgery, who was also my mentor, came over to encourage me.
"Well done! Your topic is extremely valuable. You are a role model for all of us doctors. Once you finish the rest of the content, it will surely cause a sensation in the entire medical community!"
Tears welled up in my eyes as I looked around at these familiar faces, feeling guilty beyond words.
They had been implicated in the plagiarism scandal because of me. Some were demoted, some were fired, and some were even blacklisted by the medical system and could no longer work as doctors.
I am filled with guilt, but more of it is fear!
I glanced at the time on my phone and saw that it was less than a month since I published my SCI paper.
I will never forget that day when I was surrounded by rumors and vicious insults.
The hospital’s website was paralyzed by attacks from netizens, and the phone was flooded with calls and curses.
"What kind of crappy hospital is this! You actually tolerate a plagiarist like Rachel!"
"If Rachel continues to be a doctor, I will go to your hospital and make a scene!"
"How can such a person be qualified to be a doctor! She is simply playing with the lives of her patients!"
The doctors and nurses in the hospital looked at me with eyes as sharp as knives.
"I heard that she is the female doctor who plagiarized Linda's paper. How shameless!"
"This bitch claims to be an expert in orthopedic surgery. Bah! She's just a stinking bitch. She might be secretly having affairs with a lot of male doctors!"
"I heard that she is the dean's mistress, a kept woman, a sea queen, and she is having a great time."
All kinds of groundless and vicious insults are heard everywhere.
I woke up suddenly, my back was soaked with sweat, and a chill surged into my heart!
The source of all this came from " Linda" in their mouths . It was she who reported me for plagiarizing her paper.
Linda comes from a medical family and was transferred to our hospital this year. Her parents are also well-known in the medical field. Most importantly, she is my boyfriend Kevin 's childhood sweetheart.
She has a sweet face and fair skin. As soon as she entered the hospital, she was pursued by many male doctors, like a star surrounded by moons. Kevin was no exception. He often showed his courtesy to her, buying her breakfast today and picking her up after get off work tomorrow.
One time when I got off work during the night shift, I had just finished an operation and was so exhausted that I could hardly open my eyelids.
However, because of her appearance, Kevin kicked me out of the car and let me walk back alone in the dark night, without worrying about my safety as a girl walking at night.
Every time we quarreled about her, Kevin would accuse me of being unreasonable and sarcastic, saying that I was jealous of a little girl.
There was even one time when I overheard him joking with his colleagues in the department, saying that I was a bad person and was always jealous, and that they had long wanted to kick me out like trash.
Although I have proposed breaking up many times, he would coax me with sweet words the next day. But now, I don't plan to continue to be his licking dog.
I suppressed my fear and nervously clicked on Linda's Moments. I saw that she had updated a post:
"After a month of hard work, I finally lived up to everyone's expectations and my SCI medical paper is about to be completed!"
Attached to it are several screenshots of the abstract and structure of the paper she wrote. Although there is not much content to see, the moment I carefully read the screenshots, I felt like I fell into an ice cave and felt cold from head to toe.
Isn't this exactly the section of my surgical paper that I just drafted?
If the same topic is a coincidence, and the argument structure is also a coincidence, but the writing and even the statement style are exactly the same, this can't be a coincidence, right?
Not only are the structure numbers the same, the number of words is the same, but even the specific arguments and literature citations are unchanged. Could it be that two people's ideas are so similar?
I quickly opened my own draft to compare, and it can't be said to be similar, it's exactly the same!
The paper was clearly completed by me alone, so it is impossible for anyone to know my ideas in advance.
I checked the time she posted on WeChat Moments, which was an hour earlier than when I finished the draft. At this moment, I fell into deep self-doubt.
For a moment, my mind was filled with everyone's doubts and malicious attacks on me in my previous life.
"She looks decent, but I didn't expect she became famous by plagiarizing. I heard that she has written many academic papers, could it be plagiarism?"
"It is a tragedy for the medical profession that such a person is a doctor. He is a scum among doctors. Allowing such a person to be a doctor again is a disregard for life!"
" The plagiarist should go to hell! She will never be reborn! It would be best if she gets in a car accident and takes her whole family away!"
Thinking of this, I almost couldn’t sit still and felt like I was about to fall.
Staring at the familiar words on the computer screen, I hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted my teeth and deleted all the drafts.
Since the surgical SCI paper was confirmed to be plagiarized, it is impossible that the orthopedic SCI paper is also similar, right? With my many years of research in orthopedics, I thought that I could finish it in a month by staying up late to finish the manuscript!
