Answers
It is true Andrew had immense confidence and strong willpower along with high morals. If he were an ordinary doctor, the baby would not have never been brought back to life.
In the chapter Birth we see Dr. Andrew displaying a very high level of commitment and determination to save the life of a newly born baby and his mother. He was sensitive to the feelings and thoughts of the Morgans who were so much excited about the baby.
We find Joe Morgan waiting for Andrew Manson at midnight. Andrew Manson was tired and not in a proper frame of mind. Even then he accompanied Joe to his house.
After reaching Morgan’s house and checking Mrs. Morgan, he found there was still time for the delivery, he decided he would not leave the place till everything was over.
After the baby was born lifeless, he did not give up hope; he did his best to save the life of Mrs. Morgan first; and then he worked very hard to revive the baby. Finally he succeeded.
