Kino does not have the money to pay the doctor.
Coyotito is a character in the 1947 novel, The Pearl, by John Steinbeck. Coyotito is a little boy who gets stung by a scorpion, and his father must find a way to pay the town's doctor to treat him.
he gives him a remedy (ok this is another person writing, I'm not sure that's exactly accurate because in the introduction in the book I got it says the doctor poisons Coyotito and goes back and saves him later in order to look for the pearl)
Kino, juana, coyotito, the doctor, tomas, and his wife.
His name is Coyotito
In the novel "The Pearl" a young boy named Coyotito is bitten by a scorpion. Since his family has no money the doctor refuses to help him. After finding a rare pearl his family journeys to a big city to sell it. Coyotito is shot and killed however, so he is never cured.
I believe the pill he gave the child (the one with powder wrapped in gelatin) was an acid, which caused an imbalance in Coyotito's body and made him throw up. The Dr. then gave Coyotito ammonia, which is a base, and helped stabilize Coyotito's stomach.
the doctor didn't care much for coyotito's race, which was india, and also because his family didn't have any money
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.
It burns because the injury was because of the docter when he didn't wanted to treat coyotito.
coyotito is the son of kino and juana he gets stung by the scorpion
In "The Pearl" by John Steinbeck, Coyotito is treated with a doctor's medicine, but the family also seeks help from a local healer who uses ancient remedies. Ultimately, the scorpion sting is not cured, resulting in tragic consequences for the family.
