The medical theme in this article includes a group of doctor images and names of diseases, which play an important role in comprehending the works of the authors. The article has studied fundamental works of Anton Chekhov "Ionich" and "Poprygunya", as well as the stories written by Lu Xun, including "Brothers", "Tomorrow" and "Father's Illness".
