Hey /his,

I literally know nothing about plague doctors or the black plague other than the name and time period.
Can someone tell me more about plague doctors, were they members of the catholic church or something? Why did they wear a mask shaped like a bird, I understand that they wore full body suits to avoid contact.

I'm really mainly interested in icons and symbols that plague doctors had and used, like the church has a cross and priests carry around a stave, did plague doctors carry around anything special?

Teaching history is not the same as discussing history.

Google it.

They did not really do much, considered a bad sign because they were everywhere the prescence of a plague would be. They were educated and did research on diseases, they seeked cures and wrote down facts.
