'A VILLAGE DOCTOR' 

Introduction : A village doctor is a most familiar figure in village. He renders a very valuable service to the the ill-fed, ill- td, ill-healthed and ill-housed village people. 

His qualification : A village doctor is generally a quack. He now passes for a doctor after modern fashion. A village doctor works with a qualified doctor for few years and receive raining under him. Then he comes to his native village and begins practising as doctor. 

His dispensary : A village doctor opens his dispensary either in the parlour of his house or in a room in the village market. He has in his dispensary a table, a chair, one or two almirah with a small stock of medicine and one or two benches for his patients. He does not take the service of a compounder. He takes very small fees from his patients and lives a very simple life. 

His daily life : A village doctor leads a very busy life. He examines his patients at his dispensary in the morning and gives them medicine. Then he goes out to attend his private calls. He goes out either on foot or by bicyclę. He is seen to attend the patients with an air of a qualified doctor. He is very regular in his duties. He takes special care of his, patients. He looks upon them as his own relatives. This is why, he is loved and respected by one and all in the village.

His importance : A village doctor is badly needed in the village. Qualified doctors are hardly available in the village. Hence villagers have to depend much on a village doctor. He always gives good advice to all and sundry. Moreover, the villagers dọ not need spend much money for treatment under him. Not only that they always find him by them in their weal and woe.

His motto of life : A village doctor takes up the profession of serving the diseased persons of the village. He comes forward to serve them and attends to the call of the patients at any moment. He thinks little whether the weather is fair or foul, the time is good or bad, the path is even or rough, the life is secured or risky nor does he bother much about the payment to be given to him as fees. The only thought that crosses his mind is how to help his patient come round soon. Sometimes he keeps sitting by the bed of a serious patient hours after hours, gives him medicine with his own hands and takes every care of him. Even he passes the whole night sleepless beside his bed. Thus a village doctor leads a very humble life with a towering ideology of self-dedication and a plain living with high thinking. We can think him to be led by the motto" To serve man is to serve God." 

Conclusion : A village doctor is a great friend of the Village people. Our govt. should take necessary steps to better, the conditions of the village doctors.
