The doctors would watch a certain person walk up to the second floor to see if the person was breathing heavy (clear sign of heart problems) or had trouble walking due to a hurt limb. The doctors would mark down a check or an “X” for each person. This test was dubbed the “six second physical” because of how quickly the doctor could finish examining a person. A majority of the time, doctors did not to use any tools, but if a person looked as if they had a medical condition or were hiding one, they would use some standard tools.

The Sneetches is about two sorts of animals, isolated by having or not having stars on their stomaches. The Star-Belly Sneetches think they are the best, and look downward on Sneetches without stars.

The description regarding the delayed and release of melatonin in concordance with the changes in the dawn and the dusk times seemed fascinating because it suggested how much are we connected to changes in the physical environment. The increase in melatonin secretion and the inability of the retina to processes photo information during the winter as it does in the summer, all of it suggested how the body is preparing to sleep and rest during the cold months; the same way bears hibernate in the winter.
