When he saw James’s pleading expression, the doctor swallowed his anger and followed James out.
Nicole went after them.
“Doctor, what if we paid $5,000 per night for the private room?” James negotiated.
“Absolutely not! We’re severely short on beds! Your boss is taking up a four–person room all by himself – it’s completely wasteful! Hospital administration has ordered me to free up the room today!”
