There lies a great difference between textbook medicine and the world of practising physician. Textbook medicine is purely a Science whereas treating a patient is an art. The world of practising physician requires a different set of skills and knowledge. Textbook medicine no doubt provides the conceptual framework for treatment but no doctor can treat a patient without the use of his or her intuitive practices. In the story Birth the way Andrew brings back life in the still born child is a
testimony to this fact. The nurse at first dumps the child thinking it to be dead. aut Andrews takes a chance and the miracle happens. He in the beginning applies his textbook knowledge but the child does not recover. He doesn't lose heat. He applies his own method and the miracle then happened Treatment is Science and beyond. It is both a science and an art. The story Birth is a realistic fiction.
In other words, the elements of the story has been taken from real life experiences and woven in the fabric of fiction.
