Doctors in Victorian times were often seen as prestigious figures, but their training and practices varied widely. Many lacked formal education and relied on apprenticeships, leading to a mix of skilled practitioners and quacks. Medical knowledge was limited, with diseases poorly understood and treatments often ineffective, ranging from bloodletting to herbal remedies. The era also saw the beginnings of modern medicine, with advances in surgery and anesthesia, although hygiene practices were still inadequate.
