why did Dr. Gulliver sign up as a ships doctor?
Answers
Answer:
My father had five sons. I was the third. When I was fourteen he sent me to Cambridge to study. I was
there for three years. Then he did not have enough
money to pay my teachers any longer, so I went to
London.
I wanted to be a doctor. In London I studied
medicine with a famous doctor, Dr James Bates. While
I was studying I worked for him, too, so my father did
not have to pay him any money. There was one other
thing I wanted to do very much. I hoped to travel and
visit foreign lands some day.
I loved reading. Of course, I liked to read about being
a doctor. But I also read about science, mathematics,
and engineering, which means knowing how to build
machines. Best of all, I liked reading about foreign
countries, and the way people lived in other lands.
When I had enough money, I bought books. But Dr
Bates did not pay me much, so I could not buy many!
After four years I went home to see my family. I had
a pleasant surprise. My father and my uncle gave me
forty pounds. Also they promised to send me thirty
pounds each year while I learnt more about medicine.
That does not seem to be much money these days, but
in those days it was a lot.
So, at last, I had enough money to do what I wanted.
I left Dr Bates and went to study at Leyden in Holland
for two years. I still wanted to travel, so I learnt many
things which I could use on long sea journeys, or
‘voyages’ as they are called.
