The Doctor’s Dilemma
by George Bernard Shaw
“One cure, two lives: how do you choose between a masterpiece and a moral man?”
When a revolutionary medical breakthrough creates a life-or-death choice, Dr. Colenso Ridgeon must decide if a brilliant but immoral artist is more deserving of life than an honest, ordinary clerk. George Bernard Shaw’s sharp-witted satire forces readers to confront the impossible question of who gets to play God with medicine.
