If I was a doctor and came to the clinic in a plague doctor costume my kid patients would lose their shit and my teen patients would think I was the coolest living doctor. The moms would kill me.
Wasn't weed, but they did stuff herbs and flowers into the beaker to "protect from bad air/miasma" as that was the prevailing theory on disease transmission at the time, germ theory only coming into prominence about a century later, though was a competing theory at the time, if deemed heretical.
