A Sincere Invitation

"What should I do?" the wife of the patient asked.

"What do you mean?" the patient's mother asked.

"Should I just leave him laying here?" the wife asked.

"Let the doctors treat him first," the patient's mother suggested.

The wife and mother of the patient hadn't reached an agreement about whether the patient should be transferred to a different place. After all, they couldn't trust the rumors. They hadn't met anyone with the same condition being cured, so they didn't want to take the risk. They didn't think any doctor in a small clinic would be better than the doctors in the hospital. Most people would have the same thoughts, which was reasonable.

In most cases, the so-called folk prescriptions that claimed to be able to cure severe illnesses were a fraud. Some people's condition got worse because they missed the best time to receive treatment after using folk prescriptions.
