Plague Doctor

Wallpaper Description:

Plague doctors often were not professionally trained, experienced physicians or surgeons, but medical interns or second rate doctors.

The beak they had was a filter for what they believed to be bad, infected air.

They were specifically hired by towns that had many plague victims in times of epidemics. Since the city was paying their salary they treated everyone, the rich and the poor alike. (unusual for the time)
