Abstract

One of the most recognized paintings of Western medicine, Luke Fildes' The Doctor aimed to represent a caring physician in a humble setting during an era when people living with poverty rarely had access to health care and nearly all physicians were White men. The Doctor challenges us to think about what good doctoring is. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
