昔の町医者はそうしたことが要求されていた。
One of the interesting impressions I gained of the doctor was
that of seeing him limping about our town on crutches,
his medicine case held in one hand along with a crutch, visiting his patients,
when he himself appeared to be so ill as to require medical attention.
He was suffering from some severe form of rheumatism at that time,
but this, apparently, was not sufficient to keep him from those who in his judgement probably needed his services more than he did his rest.
