Quote:If you never worked in a restaurant you will not understand
Doubtless, although I have dined in a few.
However, I'd posit that not having had experience as a Chinese doctor might be more telling.
Nonetheless based on what I have read about the state of the Chinese medical system and the demeanour of some disappointed patients and relatives I came to the ineluctable conclusion that the reference was to behaviour.
Finally, the pace of the clinic is described as
relentless, which blows your allegorical observation out the restaurant window. I presume you are au fait with the meaning of relentless.
