![]() ![]() ![]() As with every good poem, it brought me to thinking about my own life and extrapolating what I learned from Doctor Meyers on my experiences. ![]() This disheartening finale made me sad and almost brought tears to my eyes. It seems that he found his true calling as a medical doctor, and his passion for that profession kept him going no matter what it took him to help the populace in need.ĭoctor Meyers’ goal was to reach out to as many people as possible, and his main focus was geared towards the poor in the community – “all the weak, the halt, the improvident (Masters).” Admittedly, his non-discrimination against income or societal status appealed to people, and as he describes, “those who could not pay flocked to (Masters).” Yet, despite his best efforts to make people’s lives better, he died of pneumonia while defamed and disgraced by the press because he could not save one patient. From the reading, it became instantly apparent that Doctor Meyers was an outstandingly generous and kind-hearted person. Doctor Meyers is rather a small poem of fourteen lines, but Masters proved that less is just enough to paint a full picture of someone’s personality. ![]()
