The Doctor's Dilemma

"The Doctor's Dilemma" by George Bernard Shaw is a satirical play that explores the moral and ethical dilemmas faced by a group of doctors in the early 20th century.
Set in London, the play centers around Dr. Ridgeon, a talented physician who discovers a new cure for tuberculosis. However, he faces a dilemma when he realizes that he has only a limited supply of the cure and must decide which patients are worthy of receiving it.
As Dr. Ridgeon grapples with this moral quandary, he is surrounded by a colorful cast of characters, including his colleagues, Sir Colenso Ridgeon and Dr. Blenkinsop, as well as the patients vying for treatment. Among them is Jennifer Dubedat, the wife of a talented but unscrupulous artist, Louis Dubedat, whose illness raises questions about who deserves medical care based on their character and contribution to society.
