Dr Herriot had sympathy and compassion not just for his patient Tricky but also for his mistress. He had adopted a practical approach in his treatment to treat Tricky without the use of medicines or surgery. Do you think doctors should be compassionate and practical like Dr Herriot? Elaborate.                                                                                    

 

Dear Student,

Mr Harriot was an intelligent doctor. He knew how to balance his professional and social life. He had the values of sympathy and compassion. He was practical when it came to treating Tricky. He knew human psychology. He satisfied Mrs Pumphrey who was very possessive and obsessive about Tricky. He not only respected her love for her dog but also treated Tricky tactfully.

Yes, a doctor must be practical and also full of compassion for his patients. Dr Herriot is a perfect example for all the doctors to follow. He understood the cause and remedy of all diseases. He was able to make Mrs Pumphrey understand how she should treat Tricky.

Regards
