    I just did this!  The doctor is a selfish man who is in business with the pharmaycist to get as much money as he possibly can.  He does not read the bible, and is not very religious.  Instead, he likes to follow the teaching of Aristotle and such about the 4 humours.  Doctors and churches typically didn't get along back then because they contradicted eachother.  He is highranking, however, below the religious figures but above the peasants.
