Doctor's Report

WHEN I came to this town as a medical GP, it wasn't long before chronic alcoholism and acute alcoholism became known to me. Calls at 2 A.M. or some other weird time of night came in and away I'd go to try to help someone who was under the influence. I can't say that I liked this sort of practice of medicine. Sure I helped them at the time, but I didn't achieve any lasting success. The same calls to the same people. I tried hospitalization and I turned out people who were thankful and happy and felt fine--but this didn't last; all my work for nothing; all my lecturing for nothing. I didn't like it. Still I didn't give up and I never refused a call.
