The doctor was a figure of great humor to the people. The Back Plague lasted c. 150 years: 1347-1500, and reappeared after (1666). Thus doctors, astrologists and others with useful knowledge were reviled, the more so, as only the wealthy could afford such "services". Not too different from our own times.
