Charlie shrugged and said, "There normally would be a nursing fee, but today Nurse Elsa took a day off. Look at me, personally administering your medication and dressing your wound."
He made a helpless expression, washing his hands while saying, "I'll go check out with you."
Yan Junze knew just from the way the guy shrugged that the nursing fee wouldn't be cheaper than when Nurse Elsa took care of him.
After spending 237 dollars, Yan Junze walked out of Charlie's clinic, carrying a paper bag with shoes inside while his right ankle was fitted with a plastic medical disinfection boot—an additional purchase.
Doctor Charlie even tried to sell him a pair of crutches that had just arrived, priced at only 188, but Yan Junze felt those crutches were probably left behind by a previous patient who had recovered, so he refused.
