why does andrew comment that he had done something 'real at last' in blanelly??

Andrew was a newly qualified doctor who worked as an assistant to  Dr. Edward Page. Despite his less experience, he went to help his friend at the midnight hour. After all the efforts to carry out a successful delivery, a dead child was born. He tried his best to revive the child's life and at last, a miracle occurred. Andrew is not only able to save the life of a new born infant, but it also helped him to keep up the trust of his friend. Therefore, Andrew feels a sense of achievement and a sense of doing something 'real' in Blaenelly.
