In "Use of Force" by
Williams Carlos Williams we can see the difficulties that a doctor had trying
to find the problem of a sick girl that he visited. The little girl was very
aggressive and did not let anybody to treat her. She was hiding her sickness
forcing the doctor to use a different strategy to finally found the sore throat
that she was hiding; he had to use his strength against the girl.
Some people think that the doctor should not have done that. The truth is that indeed it could result in a worst outcome. Using his strength can be danger because he could hurt her in a very severe way. But I think that if he takes control of his strength and use it very careful is okay, because that was for her own good. If the doctor does not had use his force he would never noticed her sore throat that she was hiding. If the doctor had not noticed her sore throat she would probably died.
Also I think that the fault that the doctor had to use his force to find her illness is because of the parents. We can see this in this text: “Both parents answered me together, No . . . No, she says her throat don't hurt her. Does your throat hurt you? added the mother to the child. But the little girl's expression didn't change nor did she move her eyes from my face. Have you looked? I tried to, said the mother, but I couldn't see.” Like we can see the girl is very brave and her parents didn't put control over her. She was doing whatever she wanted. Her parents were dealing with her they weren't forcing her. I think that the fact that the parents didn't put control over their daughter, the attitude of the girl and the fact that it was for her own good are good reasons for the doctor to use his force in this situation.

Good point of view. I would like to hear more on how the parents managed the situation.

I'm agree with your point of view about that the force applied was for her own good. Like when you say that the doctor need to use a controlled force in the job to don't hurt the girl or any patient. Something like this happen to you before? You have a great reflection, I think that can be more powerful with some example about some experience near to you about trauma, that would help to support your argument.
ResponderBorrarWow, this was great! I expect to know, who do you feel about the girl?

When I read this I think about my worst nightmare, visit the dentist, I really hates that touch my mouth. The use of force is really necesary? I think that the parents are who impose fear in their children.
I really liked the picture that you used. I totally agree because the use of force is never necesarry no matter what situation. I would like hear more about how you would feel if this happened to you.
