Physicians disputing while the patient suffers. Oil painting after (?) Johann Geyer. Wellcome Collection. Public Domain Mark. Source: Wellcome Collection.
Six physicians are seated around a table in the house of a patient and are in agitated disputation. The central physician is holding a medicine bottle. Two other pairs of physicians are disputing in the background. In the far background, left, a patient is lying in bed in desperation. The subject is a satire on 17th- and 18th-century medicine, inspired by Molière: the physicians are more concerned with their own professional and academic status than with providing succour to the patient
