[摘要] A rhesus ambles by during walk rounds as David, the medical student, fumbles through a description of a five-month old admitted for rotavirus dehydration. Not one to lose a teaching opportunity, Dr. Pedersen inquires what to do if one of us is bitten – Prophylaxis? I fix my gaze on David, who reaches for his iPhone. The monkey, quicker, snatches it from his belt holster and swings down the corridor, shrieking. David looks up at Pedersen, then gives chase, unsure if this is a test. Pedersen now eyes me. Ford, my senior, sighs.
