Discussion Prompt:

No one feels better after this doctor’s home-visit–including the readers! This first-person narrative depicts the doctor physically overpowering a struggling child to force his way into her mouth to examine the potential source of a possibly deadly fever, while her parents both behave in frustratingly counterproductive ways.

We can imagine our way into all four characters’ fictional perspectives in this unsettling encounter. Each party is right and each party is wrong, in some way. Consider and discuss the perspective(s) that you feel most strongly about. Which of the four Dr./Pt. Divides do you see in action here? What would you do differently if you found yourself the parent or caregiver in a similar situation?
