You should just listen to the doctor. Most of the times he/she knows what to do to help you.
In the book "The Pearl" by John Steinbeck, the doctor's house is situated in the town near the brush houses where Kino and his family live. It is described as a white and green building with a courtyard and iron grating over the windows. The doctor is portrayed as a wealthy and indifferent character who refuses to treat Coyotito, Kino's son, without immediate payment.
Kino and Juana are devastated when their baby Coyotito is stung by the scorpion. They immediately seek help in the form of a doctor, but are met with indifference and discrimination by the doctor. This event propels them on a journey to find a pearl that will provide them with a better life.
The Pearl, which takes place in La Paz, Mexico, begins with a description of the seemingly idyllic family life of Kino, his wife Juana and their infant son, Coyotito. Kino watches as Coyotito sleeps, but sees a scorpion crawl down the rope that holds the hanging box where Coyotito lies. Kino attempts to catch the scorpion, but Coyotito bumps the rope and the scorpion falls on him. Although Kino kills the scorpion, it still stings Coyotito. Juana and Kino, accompanied by their neighbors, go to see the local doctor, who refuses to treat Coyotito because Kino cannot pay.
