There is a natural fear of illness within people. Many are reluctant to take a medical examination when a doctor suggests one, fearing that if they do, it will herald imminent death. This kind of thinking is very common among the populace.
Doctors can't do much for patients like these. They can only wait for the disease to manifest before beginning treatment, and even then, the doctors can only do their best.
Listening to the family members' complaints, Xie Wanying remembered Teacher Sun's advice and didn't say a word, merely following Teacher Tan's instructions.

Of course, Teacher Tan's movements, compared to her student's, didn't need mentioning; experienced as he was, he simply pressed his finger on the lump and immediately withdrew his hand, concluding the physical examination in seconds, with a final command, "Get up."
