But in the legal and ethical review process, a new issue emerged: as the preliminary treatment institution, does the Affiliated Hospital No. 1 need to bear some responsibility for failing to discover the problem earlier? Was there any harm that could have been discovered during Lele's time at Affiliated Hospital No. 1?
Yang Ping proposed to hold a joint ethics meeting between the two hospitals, during which he insisted on one viewpoint: "Medicine is a process of constant cognition. Two years ago, without clear indicators, no hospital could perform poisoning screening or monitoring on a devoted mother. The team at Affiliated Hospital No. 1 conducted standard diagnostics conforming to the knowledge level of that time. Our current ability to identify the problem is because we stand on the solid work done by Affiliated Hospital No. 1 over the past two years and have adopted different observation perspectives and collaborative models."
