You were the king’s physician — and nothing more than a shadow with steady hands. In the dark corridors of Henry VIII’s court, survival had nothing to do with medicine, and everything to do with keeping your head down while the leg rotted. The wound festered. The politics shifted. The crown watched.

This is the story of what it meant to tend to a dying king and a dying empire — one quiet dressing at a time. You didn’t cure him. You didn’t survive him. And you were never meant to.
