Reading with Insight
Q1. “I have done something; oh, God! I’ve done something real at last.” Why does Andrew say this? What does it mean?
Answer: Andrew spoke these words in the ecstasy of saving both the mother and the child’s lives. Andrew was depressed before the operation because of the pain his girlfriend had caused him. When he successfully delivered the baby, he discovered that the baby had died. Then he decided to first cure the mother, which he did.
Following that, he carefully observed the baby and determined the problem. He then immediately administered the necessary treatment and resuscitated the baby. As a result, he successfully did something meaningful. Till that point, he was just thinking and then he did something real.
Q2. There lies a great difference between textbook medicine and the world of a practising physician. Discuss.
Answer: Textbook medicine is theoretical. It is something that has not been tested or applied. A practising physician uses textbook medicine as well as unconventional methods, e.g., Andrew immersed the newborn infant into basins of warm and iced water in order to revive him. In real life, a practicing doctor Jparns from experience.
Q3. Do you know of any incident when someone has been brought back to life from the brink of death through medical help. Discuss medical procedures such as organ transplant and organ regeneration that are used to save human life.
Answer: Yes, I have seen and heard of incidents where people have been brought back to life from the brink of death through medical help. Surgical operations, life-saving drugs, and organ transplant play a leading role in modem medical science. Leading hospitals in advanced countries have facilities for medical procedures such as organ transplant and organ regeneration. The blood bank and eye bank are quite common.
Nowadays people willingly donate various organs of their body to the hospitals after their death. The techniques of organ regeneration help to preserve them for a certain period and use them for transplanting the defective organ of another patient. Nowadays eye, heart, kidney, and liver are being transplanted. The time is not far off when artificial human organs will be made in laboratories from non-human sources.
