So, on the other end of the phone, Fang Qinglan said with a smile, "Mr. Chen, I'm really grateful to you! The next time you come to treat me, I'll double your fee!"
When Fang Qinglan mentioned the fee, Chen Erniu directly refused.
"Ms. Fang, you've already paid me! For future treatments, I won't take a penny; just send a car to pick me up when it's time!"
Seeing Chen Erniu unwilling to take the payment, Fang Qinglan was taken aback.
"Mr. Chen, are you serious? The payment... you really don't want it? I'm willing to give it to you!"
Chen Erniu shook his head: "Ms. Fang, I know you are willing to pay me, but I've already received the consultation fee that I should have. I won't take a cent more than that!"
Chen Erniu had his own rules when it came to treating illnesses.
Whatever the agreed consultation fee was, that was the amount; Chen Erniu would never ask for a penny more!
A doctor's duty is to save lives.
