Director Chen was the core of this department, intelligent and capable and able to lead a clannish team. Being short handed, the doctors even have to work after the night shift. The doctors were exhausted, but since Chen was also overworked, they obeyed without complaint.

They were only tired of being doctors. Facing fierce competition, unsound professional surroundings and inept executives, the doctors were worried and anxious, but nobody left. Led by Chen, they began to fight a tiresome war in which there would be no winner.
