Even around the turn of the 20th century doctors were way cooler than they are now. "Hey doc, my shoulder hurts" "no problem, take this cocaine". Hey doc , I'm sad since my husband left me". "No problem, here's some heroin ".

Plague Doctor Pros: Rockin' the plague doctor look, opium (if you're rich). Cons: Bloodletting, mercury-based medicines.
Modern Doctor Pros: Antiobiotics that cure the plague in short order, no mercury or bloodletting. Cons: No opium, even if you're rich. Americans must consider death by plague vs. paying the high deductible.
