Let's See If You Would've Been A Good Doctor In The 1600s

Someone with the bubonic plague came to you for help:

A patient comes in with a bumpy skin rash! What do they have?

Your patient wants to take some Arsenic and Mercury to cure their Typhoid fever. Do you give it to them?

A patient came in with Malaria! How did they get it?

A patient has been ingesting gold to try and cure themselves! What do you think they were trying to cure themselves of? 

A patient comes in kicking and screaming! What do you recommend to do?

You saved and cured all your patients! Thanks to your services in the medical field, all your patients are expected to live to their full life-expectancy of 25 years old!!!

You would be an amazing doctor!

You've cured some patients, but you have definitely lost a few... Maybe you should have gotten an apprenticeship under a better doctor!

You're an OK doctor

Your patients are dropping like flies, and not just because of the plague. Time to rethink those herbal concoctions and start prescribing remedies that won't double as poisons.

You're not a very good doctor
