This is NOT a thread about health issues, or diagnosing illnesses with the cards. It's about identifying the figure of a doctor, or the fact that someone might already be under medical treatment of some kind-without necessarily being too specific as to what kind of treatment.
OK, so the traditional cards for doctors and medical treatment as far as I know are the swords.
For a Doctor, the King of Swords (though that seems to be a surgeon, in particular), and I think maybe the Hierophant.
The ace and 3 of swords are about surgery, the 4 about illness but not necessarily one that is being treated.
As for medical treatment, Temperance occurs to me, although I'm not a hundred per cent sure. The Star is about healing; not sure if it stands for treatment of an illness as well.
I could throw in the Magician as a doctor, but I have to say that would be just guessing.
I'm sure there are others.
Any ideas ?
