These hospital experiences were also likely responsible for the prominent role physicians, nurses, and pharmacists play in her stories." [124] :viii There were to be many medical practitioners, pharmacists, and scientists, naïve or suspicious, in Christie's cast of characters; featuring in Murder in Mesopotamia, Cards on the Table, The Pale Horse, and Mrs. McGinty's Dead, among many others.
