Hua Tuo strode into Chujiang People's Hospital with his hands clasped behind his back. His walk was full of vigor, his posture proud and majestic, like a lion king surveying his domain.
He quickly noticed that the atmosphere was off. The doctors, who usually bowed and bent in his presence, now strutted around with their noses in the air, like peacocks flaunting their feathers.
A young nurse who admired the old man sneaked over to tell him, "Starting today, you can only see a maximum of ten patients a day. That's an order from the hospital director."
"Outrageous, how dare they pull at the tiger's whiskers," Hua Tuo stormed towards the director's office.
The hospital director and the other two deputy directors got the news and all hid in Wei Xiansi's office.
"Dr. Wei, the old man Hua holds you in high esteem. In case he comes barging in, you help block him," Director Yuan and the two deputy directors said.
