The patient's sudden voice left Du Heng bewildered, making him only able to lower his head and pretend he hadn't heard.
But the patient wouldn't let it go, saying, "Doctor Du, when the nurse measured my blood pressure this morning, she said it was 140/100, almost like a normal person.
Plus, I'm feeling really good myself. Can you check again? If I'm truly better, then I'll go through the discharge process.
During this time, being hospitalized is driving me crazy."
This time the patient's voice was loud, so loud that Du Heng couldn't pretend he hadn't heard it.
The people who followed in to watch the spectacle were all looking at him, their gazes making him uncomfortable.
With no other choice, Du Heng turned around, struggled to muster a smile, and said, "Whether you can be discharged depends on your attending doctor.
Your attending physician knows your situation best; they will surely arrange for you. If you want to be discharged, ask your attending physician more.
