In the society today, people are more ignorant and they actually rely on doctors whenever they meet such situations. They have the idea that doctors are meant to save people no matter how risky a situation is. However, most people do not know the consequences behind all these. This universal notion has become something so common in the recent years. I personally felt that doctors are innocent in such situations. They should not be blamed whenever they vow not to help the accident victims.
Instead, legal community such as lawyers are individuals who we should point the finger at. Legal community has placed physicians into positions where hesitation and fear come along in their everyday life. No doubt that doctors should be responsible to help those who are in need, however, with the strict laws and pressure exerted by this legal community, you wouldn't be surprise that most doctors would choose not to risk their own life or career just to save another stranger. This human nature is inevitable. However, if the situation changes; doctors would not be blamed or sued by the legal community, I would assure that there wouldn't be such a problem anymore. Even if something that was not expected happens, at least doctors have tried their best rather than not putting an effort to give a try at all. Legal community should stop this immediately and considers the consequences and adverse effects which affected not only the doctors but also the society.

Good intro (but remember to put two writing devices in) As stated, Hemingway illustrates the importance of masculinity for men’s identity in this short story. Firstly, Hemingway employs the importance of pride in male-to-male relationships by focusing on the interaction between the Doctor and the American Indian Dick Boulton. Secondly, Hemingway shows that a man’s pride comes above all, since the Doctor is dishonest to his wife regarding why he had a conflict with Boulton. Lastly, the use of contrast, e.g. the Doctor’s dishonesty as mentioned earlier, between the sexes empathize how masculinity is important to men, and this is what the following essay will be examining through the character of Nick’s father, the Doctor. In the beginning of the short story, the Doctor has hired three American Indians to cut some logs that broke free from a steamer and drifted on the beach. The three American...
