He asks this because if they didnt call a doctor, it kind =a showed the obviousness that they were lying. Also, if they didnt call a doctor, there was no real proof that Tom Robinson raped Mayella Ewell. They can always ask a doctor to examine Mayella whether or not she really was or if she is faking.

∙ 13y agoAtticus can't believe that sherriff tate didn't call a doctor because he says that she was pretty beat up and he can't remember her injuries so he says if they were so bad why didn't he call for a doctor

∙ 13y agobecause he is trying to make a point that Tom is crippled on his left arm(remember that) and Mayella's injuries are on her right side. Well how could Tom hurt her with his CRIPPLED left arm on mayella's RIGHT side? He couldnt! Bob Ewell(her father) hurt her! and Atticus made him sign his name to show the jury that he is left handed and HE hurt mayella! does this make any sense? i wish i could draw a diagram....
