What two kinds of experience equip chillingworth to be a physician?

Answer 1

He was once a man who was very civilized and respected. He came from England, and was captured by the Indians. From this experience he learned to concoct all kinds of different herbs and medicines to help sickness. When he escaped from the Indians, he went to the colony where his wife was supposed to be waiting for him. He found her with a child from another man. This flung him into an outrage and changed his whole personality. He became a devilish man set on revenge at whatever the cost. He vowed to find the man who did this and to punish him. He began his search and soon found out that the father of this child was Rev. Mr. Dimmesdale. Mr. Dimmesdale was a very sick man and Chillingworth used this as an excuse to move into his home and become his physician.
