The Doctor's Dilemma #326747

"The Doctor's Dilemma" by George Bernard Shaw is a thought-provoking and satirical play that delves into the moral complexities of the medical profession and the ethical dilemmas faced by doctors. Set in early 20th-century London, the play follows the story of Sir Colenso Ridgeon, a prominent and successful physician, and the group of doctors who are faced with a difficult decision that tests their principles and values. The plot revolves around Sir Ridgeon's revolutionary new treatment for tuberculosis, a limited supply of which can only be given to one patient. The doctors must decide which patient is most deserving of this life-saving treatment. As they weigh the potential candidates, personal and professional rivalries, as well as the doctors' own moral shortcomings, come to the forefront.
