The story takes place in one of the typical hospitals, perhaps in a typical city. The main character is a hospital lawyer who has been working in his place for fifteen years. Throughout the entire story, his name is never mentioned. Thanks to his ambition and pragmatism, he achieved outstanding results in his work. He himself is very proud of his achievements in litigation, which he always wins. He is appreciated by his management, but his colleagues quietly dislike him. He values his status, position and is ready to do anything just to maintain his position, personal office, his chair and large oak table.
