Something I always wondered
If Kermit and Piggy couldn't cure Tiny Tim how did Scrooge? Maybe access to better medical treatment? It just seems to me like Bob was such a good father, he would have done anything for his son.
shareBob and Emily would do anything legal and moral to save their son, captainbucky, but can't because they're penniless. Scrooge does not cure Tiny Tim either, but makes the youngster healthy enough to survive with proper nutrition. Tiny Tim doesn't need medicine, he just needs enough to eat.
shareWas he just malnourished ? I thought maybe Scrooge being a rich guy could have brought in a specialist or something
shareYes, it's just severe malnutrition. Also, there would not be a medical specialist in the nineteenth century. Please read my response on the thread about Tiny Tim's condition. I explain there what is wrong and how it is changed.
shareI think since the dawn of time there has been specialists. This move take place in I belive the 1840's and they had specialists in the early 1700 but I think his illness is meant to be subjective
shareIn the early days of humans, there was no concept of medicine because biology had not yet been recognized. Later there were doctors with special interests, but not ones who fit what eventually defined a specialist. In the nineteenth century physicians were all over the place in their work and handled everything.
