What do doctors fear the most?
Actually, it's not illness, but people.
Take the two who just walked in; they were obviously a mother and daughter.
The girl was a little on the plump side, walked slowly, and seemed somewhat timid.
The woman next to her, with drooping eyes and fleshy jowls, started cursing and grumbling incessantly the moment she stepped through the door, even shoving the girl walking in front of her from behind.
"Doctor, please see to this wretched girl of mine. I don't know what's gotten into her; she hasn't been eating properly these past two days, and she dozes off whenever she's asked to write or read."
Before she even approached the desk, the woman started rattling on at Du Heng.
She had no courtesy at all.
Even while speaking to Du Heng, she found a moment to shove the girl again, snapping, "Hurry up! I've had enough of you."
It's not difficult cases that Du Heng dreads, but family members like these.
