John Paulitious was Edinburgh's first plague doctor. He died in June 1645 after only brief employment, presumably of the plague. His successor, George Rae, was promised a huge sum of money for the position, as it was expected that he, too, would die before he could collect; however, Rae survived, and spent ten years attempting to collect his promised dues.
