Chapter V
To the true physician there is an inexpressible sanctity in the sick chamber. At its threshold the more human passions quit their hold on his heart. Love there would be profanation; even the grief permitted to others he must put aside. He must enter that room--a calm intelligence. He is disabled for his mission if he suffer aught to obscure the keen quiet glance of his science.
