In this section of Jami's Haft Awrang, a virtuous but ailing king is attended by two learned and skilled physicians whose remedies are individually potent. Their mutual rivalry and factional bias (تعصب), however, cancel out their expertise: whatever one prescribes, the other reverses, so the patient steadily worsens. A shrewd vizier diagnoses that the real disease is the divided authority itself, and contrives a stratagem that reduces the two competing healers to one. Only once the interference of the rival is removed does the surviving physician's treatment finally restore the king's temperament. The tale distills an ethical and administrative lesson: competent effort fragmented by professional jealousy becomes destructive, and effective remedy—whether medical or political—requires unity of counsel and singular, coordinated authority.
