The doctor as God the medical profession (series title) The four guises of the physician (series title) A house is a man sick in bed, family upset and praying for him. A doctor feels his wrist. In the room there and right through the window to see what happened to the man: he has his head and leg hurt in a fall from a ladder. In the foreground, a Christ-like figure, standing in the middle of medical textbooks and instruments. Under the representation engraved Latin and Greek texts (outside of the plate edge but on the same sheet) Dutch printed text, Where: in explaining that the doctor if a god is hailed as one's life hangs by a thread. This print is part of a series of four prints which depicted how the doctor considered and appreciated during his visit to a sick person on entry as a god, after first aid as an angel, with healing as a human being and if there must be paid as a duivel.
