Recently, a court judgment has been widely circulated in various lawyer groups. This lawyer was also shocked by the plaintiff's claims. Out of curiosity and a desire to follow the drama, I located the first-instance and second-instance judgments for this case, intending to study them carefully, but unexpectedly nearly died laughing.
Basic Facts:
Ms. An went to the Plastic Surgery Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences for double eyelid surgery, spending 3,000 yuan. As the results did not meet her expectations, she sued demanding a refund of medical expenses, the execution of the doctor, revocation of the doctor's practicing license, compensation for economic losses, etc.

Reflections:
Double eyelid surgery for 3,000 yuan is indeed too cheap. Similar to hiring a lawyer, even if clients cannot judge the professionalism of a doctor or lawyer based on their own knowledge, they should at least ensure the price meets basic market standards to have a "probability" of encountering a reliable professional.
The services provided by lawyers and doctors rely on their long-term experience and wisdom. The common sense that "you get what you pay for" is something worth pondering.
Special Statement / Survival Note: As the full facts of this case are unclear, I can only roughly observe the circumstances through fragments in the judgment. Therefore, the above reflections are not directed at any party in the judgment, but are merely associations triggered by the case, entirely unrelated to the text and images herein.
