As for the relationship with anger, I have to ask Professor Wang a question—have you ever heard the phrases 'anger injures the liver, joy injures the heart, grief injures the lungs, worry injures the spleen, and fear injures the kidneys'?"
"Of course I've heard them. Aren't these just a few phrases that you traditional Chinese medicine practitioners always babble about? Again, does this have anything to do with liver cancer?"
