1.What is the central theme of the story? The play let revolves around a weekly gathering of doctors in Blear General hospital with some young surgeons and Dr.Gillupsie. They discuss about the various cases and operations handled in the preceding week. Wherein Dr.Gillupsie hears from the young surgeons as to how they’ve performed. The theme of the play let is basically that young surgeons just bluntly perform thing as their mind says and the value for human life is zero in case of the young surgeons. And there is lack of applied knowledge among the young lot, which is in turn supported by the experienced person like Dr.Gillepsie as well. As in the last case Mr.Carstair gave three of his patients plenty of penicillin which caused their death. The doctor was unaware of their problem, he just gave them the medicine thinking that it would cure them, which was against the duty of a doctor. A doctor cannot perform like this, he must know the value of human life. They just can't treat people like that.

2.What is the author trying to argue here? The author in this play let is trying to argue that each doctor has his own way of treating patients and he always tends to practice and apply things on patients which he likes or which interests. He tries to argue that there is no value for human life. They must perform their job in passion and not just like that. They must not work according to their own wish. They must understand the difficulties of the patients approaching them and must work completely according to their wish. 3.How does he do it? He does this by making a mockery by listing out the examples of various young doctors wherein one just removes gall bladder of a patient just because he thinks it's right without any medical base and another is involved in a streak of killing patients by giving penicillin to all patients
