    About this ebook

    This is a preface to 'The Doctor's Dilemma' by Bernard Shaw, where he discusses various problems of the physicians of the time. It is a problem play concerning the moral difficulties created by limited medical resources and the clashes between the demands of private medicine as a business and an occupation. It follows the dilemma of Dr Colenso Ridgeon, who has created a revolutionary cure for tuberculosis. However, with little staff and resources, his confidential medical practice can only treat ten patients at a time.
