One of the earliest works thatwrote Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov - "Notes of the young doctor." It clearly traces the worldview and beliefs of the future great writer, as reflected in his later work. Among the main features can be noted light and kind humor, perhaps even some naivety. Indulgently refers to the heroes of his work Bulgakov.
"Notes of the young doctor" tell us about the decisiondevote himself to medicine a young man. He looks at first timid, indecisive, but with time he gains the necessary experience, self-confidence arises. But the most important thing that the main character acquires is a huge responsibility before the people and patients of the representatives of this profession. He always rushes to the suffering and needy, no matter what the weather is outside. In the work of Bomgard puts a lot of love, care and warmth that helps patients recover.
The protagonist of the "Notes of the young doctor" pursuenot only luck and success. Periodically on his way there are difficulties that he could not overcome. So, his colleague and friend Dr. Polyakov dies in the chapter "Morphine". In the story "Blizzard" the beloved of one of the heroes also fails to help. However, the doctor does not run away from intractable problems, does not despair, but continues his difficult mission - saving a person’s life. Only one thing scares the protagonist of the work - his powerlessness before the illness that engulfs the patient. He is constantly trying to cultivate, develop, acquire new skills and knowledge. In short, this doctor works a lot on himself.
This story brought its creator, Mikhail Afanasyevich Bulgakov, great fame.
Plots of stories from the cycle that wroteBulgakov, “Notes of a Young Doctor,” is rather unpretentious, but they give a panorama of the life of one village located in the Smolensk province, and at the same time reveal the character of the author.
Bomgard, as soon as he arrived at a new place, immediatelysame faced with the need to amputation. Fortunately, the operation ends successfully, the old medical assistant praises him and adds that, apparently, the doctor has a lot of experience in this area. Bomgard responds with a shiver that he has already done two, and blames himself for the lie.
The doctor goes to a remote village byurgent call and gets buran. The author's idea in the story is simple: he does not allow him to refuse the patient medical ethics, in spite of any obstacles that stand in the way, and whatever the cost.
The girl in the last stage of diphtheria gets onreception to the doctor. Bomgard, enraged by the ignorance of the grandmother and mother of the child, produces a tracheotomy and inserts a steel tube into the throat for a time so that the patient does not die from suffocation. This story ends with a joke: peasants come from all the surrounding villages to see the rescued girl, confident that the doctor sewed a steel tube down her throat.
Bulgakov "Notes of the Young Doctor" continuesThe following story, which anecdotically describes the ignorance of simple peasants. It is about a miller sick with malaria. He decides to take the quinine course prescribed for him for a week, because he does not want to wait long for his recovery. This is what Bulgakov told us in this story.
"Notes of the Young Doctor" continues the work"Morphine". This story - the darkest of all included in the collection. He is in fact the monologue of a morphine addict who committed suicide to Dr. Bomgard's colleagues. Bulgakov was very familiar with this topic, since he himself went through the agony of dependence on this substance, but found the strength to defeat the disease, unlike Polyakov, this unfortunate doctor. On several pages of the piercing story that Mikhail Bulgakov created (“Notes of the Young Doctor”), the horror of drug addiction and its inevitable finale — moral degradation, loss of friends and loved ones, and the breakdown of personality — are shown.
Bomgrad here is forced to take a difficult delivery.Having no experience in this, he frantically reads before the operation into the manual, but in the end the doctor has to rely only on his professional intuition. Having completed the operation safely, he re-reads the book and notices that all previously unclear places are now completely clear to him. Book experience was confirmed practical, said Bulgakov. The book "Notes of a Young Doctor" continues with the following story.
Bomgard in this work sums upthe first year of practice at the Muryevsky hospital, he noticed without surprise that he had changed a lot, both externally and internally, recalled various curious cases. Now, thanks to the experience, he looks at the new case without fear, but the physician is saved from excessive pride by those in whom excessive education prevents him from seeing the obvious and simple (for example, the case of the “missing” eye). A young 23-year-old doctor notes: every year she will bring such surprises with her, and her studies will never stop.
В этом рассказе врач сталкивается с очагом the incidence of syphilis and clearly understands that this terrible disease has a social character, because of which it becomes more difficult to cope with it than with any other ailment. Bomgard begins a stubborn and long struggle against syphilis, but in the end I have to admit that successful treatment requires a system that would be able to reverse the fear of this disease among the peasants.
Ends the cycle that created M.Bulgakov ("Notes of the Young Doctor"), the story "I killed." Bomgard told him the story of Yashvin, his colleague, who introduced himself as the only surgeon with a gun, and not with a scalpel. The story of Yashvin occurs in Kiev in 1919. The doctor is forcibly taken away by the Petliurists and arranged by a regimental doctor under Colonel Leschenko. Watching torture, murder, massacre, and the atrocious customs of the Civil War period, Yashvin ultimately makes his difficult moral choice. At the same time, universal human values are placed above professional medical ethics. This is not an easy conflict, considering also the fact that it arises before a representative of such a humane profession.
