The doctors, the nurses, the cooks, are all women.

From the doctors, who rank as majors, down to the cooks, who rank as non-commissioned officers, every one connected with Endell Street has military standing.

I spoke to one of the soldier boys about the absence of men doctors and orderlies, and his quick query was, "And what should we want men for?"

I was still on duty at Versa, but the conversation in the R.A.M.C. Mess bored me, particularly at meals; it was all sputum and latrines, gas gangrene and the relative seniority of the doctors one to another.

An hour later M. Paul and Alice were in clean, cool beds at a private hospital near the commissary's house, with nurses and doctors bending over them.

Only the doctors agreed that many a day must pass before Coquenil could get back to his work, if, indeed, he ever went back to it.

One of the most eminent doctors of the day, as able as he was rough in manner, was called to see him.

He tells Argan that his doctors will confess this much, that the cure of a patient is a very minor consideration with them, "toute l'excellence de leur art consiste en un pompeux galimatias, en un spécieux babil, qui vous donne des mots pour des raisons, et des promesses pour des effets."

Many of the doctors of the highest reputation in the tribe were women.

70 So lived our sires, ere doctors learn'd to kill, And multiplied with theirs the weekly bill.

110 Let these obey; and let the learn'd prescribe; That men may die, without a double bribe: Let them, but under their superiors, kill; When doctors first have sign'd the bloody bill; He 'scapes the best, who, nature to repair, Draws physic from the fields, in draughts of vital air.
