The story revolves around an old-fashioned patient who is frustrated by his nurse's casual attitude towards his health concerns, particularly her insistence on keeping the windows open at night. His persistent warnings about the dangers of night air reflect his deep-seated beliefs and resentment towards her sprightly demeanor. Through his interactions with the nurse, the narrative explores themes of generational differences, traditional beliefs, and the tension between authority and care in a medical setting.
