This story An Unpleasantness by Anton Chekhov is about a doctor named Grigory Ovchinnikov who loses his temper and slaps his drunk paramedic, Mikhail Zakharovich, during hospital rounds. The doctor is a nervous, principled man who cares deeply about his work, but the paramedic’s incompetence and drunkenness push him to his limit.
After the incident, the doctor struggles with guilt and tries to find a fair solution—whether to resign, apologize, or face legal consequences. However, the situation is resolved in an unsatisfying way when the local authorities force a hollow reconciliation.
