EXPOSITION
SECRET OF A FANGIRL PAGE 15
QUOTE
In a fit of cowardice, I cursed medicine and
my statement, submitted five years ago to
the rector of the university.
RISING ACTION
Young doctor feels insecure. He is afraid that he
will not cope if there is a patient who needs an
operation. He is afraid of serious diseases,
especially childbirth with an incorrect position of
the fetus. His first operation was described in
"The Embroidered Towel" and his confidence as a
doctor started to grow.
YOUNG DOCTORS NOTEBOOK PAGE 16
SECRET OF A FANGIRL PAGE 17
In this chapter, we see the doctor's
cowardice, but still, we can see

Certainly, these qualities are necessary for a
good doctor.
FALLING ACTION

defend a life that had just blossomed. 
All miseries that doctor has faced in this story
make him think that the old hospital that he
hated is a palace.

QUOTE
Beneath my fingers there began a shallow, frequent
trembling, then it started to be broken, stretched to a

stubborn battle with diseases.

cowardice and ignorance.
YOUNG DOCTORS NOTEBOOK PAGE 21
YOUNG DOCTORS NOTEBOOK PAGE 22
QUOTE
