Which two parts of this excerpt from leo tolstoy's the death of ivan ilyich suggest that doctors, like lawyers, are part of the superficial middle-class world of nineteenth century russia?

he went. everything took place as he had expectbnd as it always does. there was the usual waiting and the important air assumed by the doctor, with which he was so familiar (resembling that which he himself assumed in court), and the sounding and listening, and the questions which called for answers that were foregone conclusions and were evidently unnecessary, and the look of importance which implied that "if only you put yourself in our hands we will arrange everything—we know indubitably how it has to be done, always in the same way for everybody alike." it was all just as it was in the law courts. the doctor put on just the same air towards him as he himself put on towards an accused person.

the doctor said that so-and-so indicated that there was so- and-so inside the patient, but if the investigation of so-and-so did not confirm this, then he must assume that and that. if he assumed that and that, so on. to ivan ilyich only one question was important: was his case serious or not? but the doctor ignored that inappropriate question. from his point of view it was not the one under consideration, the real question was to decide between a floating kidney, chronic catarrh, or appendicitis. it was not a question the doctor solved brilliantly, as it seemed to ivan ilyich, in favour of the appendix, with the reservation that should an examination of the urine give fresh indications the matter would be reconsidered. all this was just what ivan ilyich had himself brilliantly accomplished a thousand times in dealing with men on trial. the doctor summed up just as brilliantly, looking over his spectacles triumphantly and even gaily at the accused. from the doctor's summing up ivan ilyich concluded that things were bad, but that for the doctor, and perhaps for everybody else, it was a matter of indifference, though for him it was bad. and this conclusion struck him painfully, arousing in him a great feeling of pity for himself and of bitterness towards the doctor's indifference to a matter of such importance.

She took up a scalpel and slit the monkey's abdomen, making a slow and gentle cut, keeping the blade well away from her gloved fingers. the spleen was puffed up and tough, leathery, like a globe of smoked salami. she did not see any bloody lesions inside this monkey. she had expected that the monkey's interior would be a lake of blood, but no, this monkey looked all right, it had not bled into itself. if the animal had died of ebola, this was not a clear case. she opened up the intestine. there was no blood inside it. the gut looked okay. then she examined the stomach. there she found a ring of bleeding spots at the junction between the stomach and the small intestine. this could be a sign of ebola, but it was not a clear sign. it could also be a sign of simian fever, not ebola. therefore, she could not confirm the presence of ebola virus in this animal based on a visual inspection of the internal organs during necropsy.
