sympathy and anger towards a small naughty girl. The doctor came into the house
to the family to diagnose deadly disease the diphtheria in a small patient. And
then the battle began. Usually the patient who comes to the doctor must fully
obey the standard examination. However, this little devil simply rejects the
doctor's help or the treatment of the disease.
The child completely refutes in
this situation the dominance of the doctor over her. So sometimes a doctor
wants to get out of himself, beyond his professionalism and use force. The girl
gave struggles to the doctor and her parents, who tried to open her mouth. She
did not give up. Emotional conflict between a girl and a doctor opened up a
bigger problem of inner struggle of the savior of lives. On the one hand, he
wanted to save this little girl from a terrible illness, but her behavior
enraged him and at the same time delighted her perseverance.
Of course, the patient during the
examination should behave correctly and always follow the doctor's
instructions, even in the case of children. But sometimes the truth is a little
patient reflexively afraid of doctors because they think that people in white
coats will hurt or kill them. As this little girl thought in the story. It created
the conflict between the doctor and his career duty whether he should use force
or come back another time, but he decided not to give up because it was
necessary for the diagnosis.
