Doctor of Phisik

- Doctor of physics and astronomy, but knows biology and can treat people
- Like the Friar so exploits people
     - 'Loves Gold'
- Spends money he gains from healing people on clothes, food and jewellery
- Favourite remedy is to give people gold to drink
     - Shows off his wealth
     - Gives patients urine not gold
- Doesn't follow bible, interested in alchemy 
     - Why is he going on a pilgrimage?
- Hid during black death instead of treating people
     - Selfish ('He kepte that he wan')
- Increasing his social class by buying lavish items
- Chaucer the pilgrim says that he is a worthy man ('He was a verray, parfit praktisour')
