The Doctor's Dilemma is a play by George Bernard Shaw that premiered in 1906.
The play is about the moral dilemmas created by limited medical resources and
the conflicts between the demands of private medicine as a business and a
vocation. The eponymous dilemma of the play is that of the newly honoured
doctor Sir Colenso Ridgeon, who has developed a revolutionary new cure for
tuberculosis. However, his private medical practice, with limited staff and
resources, can only treat ten patients at a time. The play also mentions new
developments in the germ theory of disease, namely opsonins, and included
socialist and anti-vivisectionist viewpoints. The theme of the play remains
current: in any time, there will be treatments that are so scarce or costly
that some people can have them while others cannot. The play has been produced
on Broadway and in London's West End, and a film adaptation was made in 1958.
The most recent high-profile revival was on the Lyttelton stage at the
National Theatre in London in 2012.
