The Stonew Are Monkey

The profession of medicine has a good many drawbacks in the way of interrupted meals, disturbed
nights and long and strenuous working hours. But it has its compensations, for a doctor's life is
seldom a dull life. Compared, for instance, with that of a civil servant or a bank official, it abounds
in variety of experience and surroundings, to say nothing of the intrinsic interest of the work in its
professional aspects. And then it may happen at any moment that the medical practitioner's duties
may lead him into the very heart of a drama or a tragedy or bring him into intimate contact with
crime.
