Introduction<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

By examining Dr. Beak’s Black Death roots, this blog post examines the contribution to resilience made by the ‘Doctors’ as a group. Thus indicating to current disaster managers that emergency responders should focus on stress and psychological building.<\/span><\/p>\n

Who is the Dr Beak?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

If you like games, movies, or books, you may have seen a person with a bird’s beak-shaped mask, a sceptre, creepy lenses, and a black robe that wraps around his body (Fig. 1). In recent years, more and more humanistic works have used character designs inspired by the Dr Beak (Fig. 2). These designs often show images of death, gloom, and terror.<\/span><\/p>\n
