Dickens's Doctors: A Paper Read Before the Philobiblon Club, May 28, 1903 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Dickens's Doctors: A Paper Read Before the Philobiblon Club, May 28, 1903
In The Uncommercial Traveller, in the chapter headed A Small Star in the East, Dickens showed that he had an appreciation of the good that the profession does; and we may read with pleasure his praise of the children's doctor, who realized to him the memory of the children's doctor that he had seen years before on the Paris stage.
Again, we find the picture of a doctor in another chapter entitled Some Recollections of Mortality. This doctor testifies at a coroner's inquest. The author de scribes him as follows: He was a timid, muddle headed doctor, and got confused and contradictory.
