Bangladesh is a densely populated country. In comparison to her
population the numbers of doctors are a few. So it goes without saying that the
village doctor is a person of great importance. He is quite familiar to
villagers.
The village doctor is not
qualified. He does not have a good schooling. He takes the job of a salesman in
a medicine shop or the works as a compo under a qualified physician. He also
reads some medical books at home. Thus he gathers experience. He also masters
the art of pushing injection, stitching and bandaging. Then he sets up a
dispensary at a convenient place. His stock of medicine is very poor. His
dispensary offers a poor show. There are two or three old almirahs in which he
preserves his medicines. He has a poor wooden chair to sit on and a broken of
poor quality. There is one or two benches for the visitors and patients to sit
on.
