A stranger, revealed as sculptor Peter Morton, joins the scene before a twist ending hints at a tragic accident the next day.

Old School Doctors and the Fever Regime of the 18th Century
The piece recounts eighteenth century medical practice as barbaric and misdirected from the era’s view of sickness as demonly, with fever treated by bleeding, purgatives, and harsh remedies. It details mistreatment, restrictive care, lavish feasts, excessive drinking, and fashionable yet harmful cures. It cites S. G. Tallentyre, Dr. Tronchin, Dr. Cheyne, and figures like Walpole and Voltaire to illustrate the period’s medical missteps and social excesses.
