In the lesson, 'The Enemy', Dr. Sadao was a successful surgeon. He managed to strike a balance between his loyalty to his country and his duty as a doctor in a very commendable way. At that time, Japan was at war with America. On one of his walks on the beach with his wife, he found a wounded American soldier who was on the verge of dying. As a doctor, he was unable to leave the man to die on the beach when he knew that he could save him. He operated on the American soldier and saved his life as it was his moral duty to value human life. At the same time, he was a loyal citizen of his country. So, Dr. Sadao informed the General that he was treating the American soldier and was also taking care of him until he was fit. In this way, Dr. Sadao fulfilled his duty as a doctor as well as a patriot citizen.
