Dickens viewed doctors as fundamentally good, kind, brave, and honest, greatly despising those he believed to be false, pompous, or mean. He believed doctors to be vital members of society, despite this era being known for bloodletting and questionable medical practices. The author notes that Dickens's opinion of doctors may have shifted over time, and his depictions of them evolved alongside his understanding of medicine. To the author, this book is evidence of Dickens's immense compassion for those in need, especially the sick and dying. His works showcase the struggles and triumphs of doctors, who labor tirelessly against death and deprivation.
