Q. Why write this guide?
It has been 50 years since the Great Mortality. Although the
Pestilence has returned periodically with lesser force, many
younger physicians lack the knowledge that would help them
provide aid in the event of another massive outbreak. To prepare
for such a calamity, I have created this guide. As I was not yet
educated in the art of medicine at the time the Death first appeared,
I have based my information on written accounts from learned
doctors and other eyewitnesses.
