Relevance of Doctors/Medicine in Dracula
“Had I even the secret of one such mind,
did I hold the key to the fancy of even one lunatic,
I might advance my own branch of science
to a pitch compared with which Burdon-Sanderson’s physiology
or Ferrier’s brain knowledge would be as nothing.
If only there were a sufficient cause!” (76)
--- Doctor John Seward

"My friend John and I have consulted,
and we are about to perform what we call transfusion of
blood, to transfer from full veins of one to the empty veins
which pine for him" (Chapter 10, pg 19)
