The progress of modern society was rapid, yet in the remote mountainous regions of the midwest, there were still areas that, due to geographical or climatic factors, remained frozen in the state of the eighties and nineties of the last century.

The only health center in the village couldn’t even compare to the large urban hospitals. It was merely a small, weathered building. The ground floor served as the outpatient department, while the second floor housed the wards.

The nurse who first spoke was scared she had jinxed the situation and quickly touched wood.

Only then did the others relax and resume their individual conversations.

An elderly doctor, hands clasped behind her back, remarked, “Days like these are truly wonderful. Not only are we at case, but it also indirectly indicates that everyone around us is in good health.”
