Answer -
The story тАШThe EnemyтАЩ reminds us of another story тАШBirthтАЩ by A.J. Cronin. In the story тАШThe EnemyтАЩ we find how a distinguished doctor of Japan Dr. Sadao saves the life of a young American boy, though he is a prisoner of war. Dr. Sadao brings the young man to his house, performs operation and takes out the bullet from his body. Gradually the young boy recovers. Thus his life is saved by Dr. Sadao, otherwise he was sure to die.
In the story тАШBirthтАЩ we find how Dr. Andrew Manson, fresh from Medical college, saved two livesтАФas Susan Morgan and her new born baby. Dr. Andrew Manson was in low spirits because his girl friend Christine had ditched him. It was midnight when Joe, the husband of Susan met Andrew Manson. But he readily accompanied Joe to his house. Susan was going to deliver a baby. Her mother and a midwife were attending on her.
Andrew had to wait till 5 am. The male-child was born. It was well-formed but stillborn. The mother was also sinking. He first revived the mother. Then he lifted the stillborn baby. He gave it a cold and steam bath. He tried hard to revive it. With his persistent efforts, the child gave out a cry. Thus in both the stories human lives were saved by two doctors. Both Dr. Sadao and Dr. Andrew Manson did so irrespective of their stressed mental condition.
