近代早期伦敦医疗界在应对和防治鼠疫中扮演着重要角色,他们的医疗水平是鼠疫防治的关键,并直接决定社会对传染病的处理方式。在近代早期,医学在理论上取得了重大的进步,但是在鼠疫的临床治疗上却没有取得突破性进展。尽管如此,医疗界的各种表现仍然具有重要的影响。医疗界无论是积极应对,还是消极逃避,所产生的影响在很大程度上都超越了医学的范畴,而具有重要的社会历史意义。

Medical group played important roles in the anti-epidemics process in the early modern London. Their medical level was the key element of preventing and healing of the epidemics and determined directly how to deal with it.
