Macbeth was worried about Lady Macbeth because she had begun sleepwalking. Because of this development, he called for the doctor to check on her. The gentlewoman was the woman who attended on Lady Macbeth, and who showed the doctor where she could be found at night. Both watch the sleepwalking scene.
Later, the doctor reports his findings to Macbeth. "She is troubled by thick-coming fancies that keep her from her rest." But he tells Macbeth that there is no medical answer for her problem; "Therein the patient must minister to himself."
