A fairly compelling story of a doctor's career. He starts out pure and ambitious before poverty leads him to treating wealthy hypochondriacs. His wife chastises him for changing, noting how once he seemed so driven that he'd be willing to march on any citadel the establishment put in his way. A tragedy opens his eyes once again, but then the film just kind of ends.
I was at first frustrated at the corruption he faced from the establishment, then frustrated at his own turn to financial convenience, and finally frustrated at the movie's lack of really paying off any of the longterm projects they set up for the doctor. That said, I did actually enjoy the film and would be curious to read the book it's based on.
28 to go...
