The lesson I have learnt from this episode is that not all doctors are equal. So when in doubt, get a second opinion. After all, it is your health that is at stake.
Writer ended with this paragraph but reality is that one dentist and three doctors gave their opinions but only when the 4th doctor who is a senior doctor that came out with the right solution (excluding the TCM doc who gave alternative treatment).
So how many doctors needed to come to the right diagnosis and timely treatment??
