Description

Dr. Theodor Schnabel in all his glory :heart:

He was an ordinary doctor who was born and raised in a small German town. Since it was not very big, his business faced bad times. In hopes to make himself a good name he moved to Florence and worked there for a few years. He was lucky and had a good business running :)

Years later the plague hit Florence.
Many people got scared and moved away while the ones who stayed faced dead. Plague doctors entered the city of Florence from all around Italy to help out and make themselves a business. Sadly, many of them hadn't experience (historical fact).
Since Dr. Theodor had good apprenticeship (and didn't want to lose all his patients to business rivals) he joined them as one of the few who really knew what they did.

But he had to face another problem than just rivalry. A few weeks before the plague fully hit Florence he got visited by his niece whose parents died of the plague back in German. Since Theodor was her only living relative a friend of her father decided to put her under his wings. Much to his dissatisfaction :P

To make them both a living he had to work day and night (since he lost many patients to his rivals and the plague).
So he cared for his office and niece during daytime and visited plague patients at night.




Hope to find time and write his story someday :P
