A VILLAGE DOCTOR
A village doctor is a physician who lives in the village and gives medical treatment to the rural people, when they become ill. He is a popular figure in the village. He is familiar to almost every villager.! He is not a qualified doctor. He is a quack. He starts his career with the experience he had gathered by working with a doctor or in a dispensary. So, he has a lot of practical experience. He can deal well with the common diseases. He has a dispensary in a market place with an almirah, a chair, a table and one or two benches. He sits in the dispensary and gives medicines. He receives the cost of medicine. Generally he works from morning till late night. He goes out in the village to see his patients. Generally he goes on foot. In absence of any qualified doctor, he examines the patients and renders useful services to the villagers. He is thus an important person to them. A village doctor is highly regarded and respected by the rural people. Because, the village people, being illiterate and ignorant,-cannot maintain good health and become victims of various diseases.
