It is Monday, and the noon hour is approaching as a doctor and nurse from the family medicine division of the Yangming Branch of Taipei City Hospital make their way to an old, no-elevator, third-floor apartment just off Yanping North Road Section 6 to pay a home visit. They find themselves in a tiny 10-square-meter living room strewn with bric-a-brac that leaves no space for walking around.
周一近中午，台北市立聯合醫院陽明院區家醫科醫生和護士，來到延平北路 6 段社子街一棟沒有電梯的老公寓 3 樓，3 坪大的小客廳內堆滿了雜物，連走路的空間都沒有。
