+*The Strange Case* is fantasy about the limits of medical science, used
+as a lever into moral and mental exploration.
+At the time of publication, medicine (especially drugs) was such an
+experimental field that doctors were essentially testing these drugs on
+their patients---many of which (laudanum, cocaine, oxycontin) were
+highly addictive.
+Addiction was known, but straddled the line between disease and vice.
+This parallel between Dr Jekyll's fictional transformative drug and real
+drug use is the biggest component of medicine as a moral element.
+The story admits Hyde as an immoral creature of vice, symbolizing the
+degrading effects that addiction has on a person's character, but
+Jekyll's identity is retained (until he finally loses control of the
+transformations)---which, as his more reasonable persona, the guilt,
+abdication of conscience, and other tendencies that addicts are prone
+to.
+Jekyll is not as starkly immoral as Hyde, but he is certainly
+irresponsible--which is where the line for him starts to blur between
+physician practitioner and patient (more accurately, test subject).

+
+Lanyon represents the establishment criticism of Jekyll's risky and
+short-sighted experimentation, which traces its history through to the
+modern day.
+Doctors using drugs is no longer frowned upon (although, the precise
+drugs that were prescribed at the time of publication are now known as
+unmedicinal), but there is a clear establishment, and it's represented
+by professional associations like the American Cancer Society or
+American Heart Association.
+[IMAGE: American Cancer Society logo, CAPTION: As official, established
+sources of medical doctrine (not to imply they are undeserving), the ACS
+provides official medical advice but also decries hack therapies]
+
+Morality doesn't exactly correspond to this modern image of efficacy and
+responsibility (the ethos represented in malpractice suits), but it does
+align with the idea of a trustworthy physician.
+Untrustworthy and unethical physicians come out as scandals because it
+isn't the expectation of a patient, and Jekyll's untrustworthy behavior
+(bleeding-edge experimentation) makes him a poor physician.
+
+I can't find as clear of a relation for health as the specific nature of
+Jekyll/Hyde's addiction and immorality, but it is relatively clear that
+he is an unhealthy man.
+Especially near the end, when he and Lanyon become so scarred by the
+existence of Hyde and Jekyll by the constant transformation that they
+become pale, sickly, and finally dead.
+This is clearly an unhealthful state, discrediting Jekyll as a physician
+if he still has any, and demonstrating the relation between morality and
+health.
+This is also encoded by Hyde's deformity without malformity and his dual
+status as a very unhealthy man.
+So there is clearly some sort of link between health and morality and
+especially physicians' behavior, but I can't exactly specify it.
