Paragraph on A Village Doctor

A Village Doctor

A village doctor is a familiar and popular figure in our rural life. The man who gives medical treatment to the village people is known as a village doctor. He is a man of great importance in rural society.  He is well known to almost every villager. He is not a qualified doctor. He is a quack. He renders great services to the villagers when they fall ill. He starts his career with the experience he had gathered by working under a qualified doctor or in a dispensary. So he has a lot of practical experiences. He can deal well with the common diseases. He has a dispensary adjacent to his residence. It offers a poor show with an old almirah, a chair, a table and one or two benches. He sits in the dispensary, examines the patients and gives medicines. He receives the cost of medicine only.  He passes his days attending the patients from early morning to night. Very often he has to go out in the village to see his patients. Generally he goes on foot. In absence of any qualified doctor, a village doctor renders useful services to the villagers. Though he sometimes worsens the disease of a patient, he is the most trusted and dependable person to the villagers. People from different communities in the village come to him. He is respected and loved by all. But the income of a village doctor is hardly sufficient, so he has to maintain his family through hardship. He doesn't hanker after money. Duty to mankind is his motto of life.
