There lies a great difference between textbook medicine and the world of a practicing physician. Discuss.  

Answer:

In the lesson 'Birth' or Andrews undergoes the same experience. When the= mother and son both needed his attention, he had to make a decision. In this decision making, no medical textbook could have helped him., In this case, Dr Andrew acted instinctively. He first saved the mother and then the child. He treated the mother with the traditional treatment and the child with a mixture of traditional and intuitive treatment. The net-result of both was success.
