Good Grief! I Said Fast Before Surgery, Not Feast!

Lu Xingzhou: "Congratulations! Your baby has four arms and four legs, and is perfectly healthy."

Pregnant woman carrying twins: "That's the first time I've heard anyone describe them like that..."

Lu Xingzhou: "Do you play the stock market? Look at these exciting ups and downs!"

Patient with chest pain: "I may not have studied much, but don't try to fool me. That's obviously my ECG..."

Lu Xingzhou: "Why did you only come in now?"

Patient: "Doctor, is there no hope for me...?"

Lu Xingzhou: "No, my shift's over."

Patient: "..."

Just as Lu Xingzhou's rate of driving patients up the wall reaches 100%, something happens that gets under his own skin.

Lu Xingzhou: "You fasted before surgery, right?"

Patient awaiting surgery: "Yeah, yeah, yeah, I ate. I wolfed down three big bowls of rice!"

Lu Xingzhou stares in disbelief: "Good grief! I told you to fast, not feast!"
