Douban is an accomplished physician.

The king has a disease that no one can cure.

Explanation:

In "The Story of the Greek King and the Physician Douban" by Andrew Lang, the Persian king was suffering from leprosy which his physicians were unable to cure. But Douban was a clever physician who had been educated in all languages. So, when he went to the king and told him that he will cure him of his sickness if he listen and do whatever he told him to. This made the king so relieved that he promised to give him great riches as long as he can cure his leprosy.

Thus, the correct answer will be that Douban is an accomplished and far educated physician than the court physicians. Also, the disease that the king was suffering from is not curable by the court physicians.
