A plague doctor was a medical physician who treated victims of the plague. They were specifically hired by towns that had many plague victims in times of epidemics. Since the city was paying their salary, they treated everyone: both the wealthy and the poor.

However, some plague doctors were known to charge patients and their families additional fees for special treatments and/or false cures. Typically they were not professionally trained nor experienced physicians or surgeons, but rather they were often either second-rate doctors unable to otherwise run a successful medical practice or young physicians seeking to establish themselves.
These doctors rarely cured their patients; rather, they served to record a count of the number of people contaminated for demographic purposes.
Masky doktorů při morových ranách jsou zmiňovány již v dřívějších dobách, a nenosili je pouze lékaři, ale i ti, jenž se podíleli na odstraňování následků morových ran při odklízení ostatků těl zemřelých či domácích zvířat, například kati a podobní lidé na okraji tehdejší společnosti. Morová maska pak inspirovala i slavné benátské karnevalové masky.

The black glass is really dark - like strong sunglasesses
