Doctors are required to be caring and benevolent, but more importantly, they must have principles and conviction. At critical moments, they also need a heart of stone.
This is because doctors sometimes have to make harsh, even cruel, decisions.
For example, telling a patient they must amputate a limb to save their life, or having to choose which of two critically ill patients to save.
In Yan Feifan's eyes, although Xv Fang was kind-hearted, he was an indiscriminate do-gooder who lacked principles.
He had been kicked out of Union Medical College Hospital over a euthanasia incident, yet he still hadn't learned his lesson.
Now, just because of the pleas of that mother and daughter, Xv Fang had dared to violate hospital regulations and conduct an experimental treatment in secret.
The nerve he had was truly astonishing.
It made Yan Feifan truly understand the meaning of the saying, "a leopard can't change its spots."
