In "Angela's Ashes" by Frank McCourt, when Frank McCourt contracts typhoid fever, he receives treatment in a hospital. The portrayal of the treatment in the book reflects the difficult conditions and challenges faced by the McCourt family, who are impoverished in Limerick, Ireland. The family's poverty and the limited access to healthcare services in their circumstances contribute to the challenges in seeking and receiving medical treatment.
The book provides a candid and often grim depiction of the family's struggles with poverty, illness, and the inadequacies of the healthcare system in the early to mid-20th century. The experiences recounted in "Angela's Ashes" are based on Frank McCourt's own childhood, and the narrative sheds light on the harsh realities faced by his family during that time.
