Best Answer

The doctor was assigned to observe Lady Macbeth's unusal behavior, by Macbeth. In Act 5 Scene 3 the doctor makes his report to Macbeth. Macbeth asks, "Canst thou not minister to a mind diseas'd?" and when the doctor says no, Macbeth says "Throw physic to the dogs! I'll have none of it!" The inference we can draw is that Macbeth really does care about his wife and wants her to get better. People often misunderstand Macbeth's reaction to his wife's death as meaning that he does not care for her, but this scene, occurring shortly before, proves that he does.
