"I… I'm… I'm…" Dobin wanted to talk, but he was gasping for breath. Even after several tries, he never got a full sentence out. His face was so red that he looked like frozen shrimp ready to be served. 

Zuo Cidian listened carefully,and said to Hospital Director Bo, who was beside him. "Mister New York seems to be talking about us? Do Americans learn the common lingo among Chinese now when they learn Mandarin?"

Hospital Director Bo smiled unkindly, nodded at Zuo Cidian, and said, "Old Zuo, you are quite humorous when you try to be."

"When you deal with Americans, you have to be humorous, right? In their movies, even if they are busy, are in an intense situation, or in the middle of saving the Earth, they just have to crack a joke first." After Zuo Cidian finished, he called for an interpreter. "Tell him that I am a doctor of the Emergency Department of Yun Hua Hospital. Ask him if he is allergic to anything, if he is exposed to allergens, and what it might be."
