Terminally Ill

Dr. Xie, a neurosurgeon visiting from the United States for an academic exchange, had fair skin, striking beauty, and a wonderful disposition. Her long legs could rival a supermodel's, and her remarkable memory made her a standout in her field. Once people learned that Dr. Xie was single, everyone at the hospital, from department heads to inpatients, became eager to set her up with someone.

Dr. Xie: Thanks for your kindness, everyone. Actually, I'm already the mother of two.

Everyone: ??? Didn't you say you were single?

Dr. Xie: I am. But in America, you can be single and still have children.

Dr. Xie's reputation took a nosedive from then on.

Until one day, an unexpected visitor arrived at the neurosurgery director's office, receiving VIP treatment. Mr. Song insisted that Dr. Xie be the one to consult with him.

Two young nurses eavesdropped from outside

Dr. Xie: Is there something wrong with your brain?

Mr. Song: Yes. Lovesickness. You're the only one who can cure me.

Dr. Xie: Turn right when you leave, take the elevator to the sixth floor. Psychiatry is there.

Mr. Song: Don't say that in front of the kids.

A little child's babbling voice: Mommy, is Uncle Song crazy?

Dr. Xie: ...

Mr. Song: ...I'm not. Also, don't call me Uncle Song. Call me Daddy.

The eavesdropping nurses: !!!

By that afternoon, the news that Dr. Xie's kids' father was crazy had spread throughout the entire hospital.

Mr. Song: Great. You've ruined my good name. So tell me, how are you going to make it up to me?

Dr. Xie: ...I don't know how to do anything else. How about I give you a free craniotomy?

Mr. Song: ...

Theme: If you're sick, seek medical care.
