After his aging father suffered a stroke, he was taken to the hospital a number of times. During these days, the old gentleman seemed to develop symptoms of kidney inflamation. But the hospital would not admit his father, giving such reasons as "No beds are available," and "We don't accept patients with chronic illnesses."
他的高齡父親中風後，曾在醫院幾番進出，這些日子老先生似乎有腎臟發炎的現象，醫院卻以「沒病床」、「我們不收慢性病人」為由，不讓他父親住院。
