The character "Sister" appears in Franz Kafka's "A Country Doctor" as the sibling of the sick patient visited by the country doctor. Her key action involves presenting a bloodied cloth to the doctor, provoking his reexamination of her brother and the discovery of a severe, worm-infested wound on the patient's hip. She also joins family members in undressing the doctor and placing him in bed next to the patient as part of an unexplained ritual performed by the villagers.
