Solution

Pediatricians and veterinarians have a more difficult job diagnosing their patients’ illnesses because their patients cannot express their concerns. The infants are unable to express their illness and often cry. On the other hand, animals cannot talk. As a result, they are also unable to express themselves. While treating them, the respective physicians must exercise patience. They have to identify the problems by examining them.
