Answer:
- Dr Raman is such a doctor whose opinion always comes true. If he says the patient will not survive, he will certainly not survive.
- That was the precision of Dr. Raman. Thus, his words were like the verdict of a judge.
- Thus, he was considered both a doctor and a judge.
Explanation:
- This is an excerpt from the work The Doctor’s World by R. K. Narayan.
- Narayan introduces Dr. Raman, a fictitious physician in the imaginary place of Malgudi, which can be seen in most of Narayan’s stories.
- Dr Raman is known for his accurate diagnosis with truthfulness, and therefore, he expresses his opinion like a judge pronouncing a verdict.
- He opinions always come true. If he says the patient will not survive, he will certainly not survive.
- That was the precision of Dr. Raman. Thus, his words were like the verdict of a judge.
- When he is summoned to treat his dearest friend, Gopal, he encounters a difficult professional dilemma.
- He knew Gopal would not survive that night as he told his assistants that he was nearing his end and would leave the world at any moment.
- But he was unable to say the truth to him as it would break him.
- But Gopal wanted to know his condition as he wanted to sign the will before he died to end the misery of his wife and children.
- Therefore, Dr Raman decided to lie, which was for the first time in his life.
- Gopal was relieved and, surprisingly, he had a steady pulse the next morning.
- Dr Raman still remained the man he was but puzzled as how Gopal survived.
- Thus, Narayan in the story encapsulates the themes of honesty, friendship, trust, and compassion.
