The Doctor in Medieval times was to some people a savior from disease and plague. At the time, to seek the Doctor for medical aid was the best offense to the plague, despite the fact that resistance to the plague was almost futile. Many people respected the Doctor and his services, and through his services he earned recognition as the healer. Doctors in Medieval times wore sinister-looking masks that make people of today wonder how such a trusted individual could wear such a horrifc mask. Because everyone seeks the Doctor's services, he earns a lot of currency and can be considered of the higher middle class.
