EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image captures a physician clad in protective clothing during the outbreak of the Plague in 1721. The sheer gravity of the situation is palpable as he stands amidst the chaos and devastation caused by this deadly epidemic. The physician's expression is one of determination and resilience, as he bravely faces the infectious disease head-on to provide medical assistance to those afflicted. His attire, consisting of a mask, gloves, and gown, serves as a barrier against contagion while highlighting the dire circumstances that necessitate such extreme measures. The scene is reminiscent of a time when medicine was still grappling with understanding and combating highly contagious illnesses like the Plague. The sense of urgency and desperation in his eyes speaks volumes about the severity of the situation at hand. As we look upon this historical print from Manget Triate de la peste, we are reminded of how far we have come in terms of medical advancements and public health practices. Yet, it also serves as a sobering reminder that outbreaks can still occur today if proper precautions are not taken. In these uncertain times, let us honor the courage and dedication shown by healthcare workers throughout history who risked their own lives to care for others during times of sickness and despair.
