Agnes reminds me of those sentimental oldsters who think doctoring is still in the Middle Ages. That the Barber-Surgeons are still in practice and seeing them is a quick and painful ticket to the cemetery. Though leeches are still used, blood letting is not. Maggots are used, but not phrenology or orgone booths. Agnes has a poor view of medicine, it is a wonder she can see a doctor in this country.
